El Folklor Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Service: You're greeted warmly as soon as you walk in. Be aware, there are so many options and everything looks delicious, you'll probably walk out with more than you'd intended. Food: they have the panaderia like conchas, piedras, maranitos, campechenas. They also have delicious looking cakes like tres leches, carrot, pineapple upside. And some I hadn't had like tres leches de cajeta. Not on the menu but they had capirotada. And even better was that they have food options like tacos and tortas. Barbacoa available on the weekends. read more

El Folklor Bakery - The pink cake was moist not dry and crumbly. The cinnamon roll was delicious. I will be back . - Bakeries Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Looking for an authentic panaderia. Found el Folklor and lots of customers. Good start. Self serve and go to cashier to pay. I don't know what happened but I paid $18 for 9 pieces of pan dulce. I certainly wasn't thinking when I paid as that comes out to $2 each and that is way too much!!! Won't be going back read more

Stopped by this quaint panadería (Mexican bakery) after a 10k run by the missions. Glad we stopped. So many options to choose from and the pastries all looked so fresh and delish. The ladies working were so nice and accommodating. They also sell tamales! So much to choose from. Enjoy! read more

El Folklor Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

The bread is baked fresh, soft and delicious. The service is good the ladies are nice and friendly. When you walk in you might get a little overwhelmed but just grab a tray and tongs and you pick your own bread, there's no rush and I'm sure the ladies will help you. Every time I come to town that's the place I go to, the bread goes great with coffee . The place is nice, clean and filled with baked goods. read more

Was just looking for a quick bakery for donuts and kolaches! This was absolutely perfect! Everything was so fresh and delicious! Highly recommend. read more

Visiting San Antonio I wanted to find a local panadería in the area that wasn't downtown. A firm supporter of Hispanic businesses that are family owned. El Folklor Bakery is a small yellow building south of city. Great employees, easy to get in and find all the delicious pan dulce. They had a good variety plus some that you don't see in CA. Fresh and sweet. It went perfectly with our hot coffee or hot chocolate that evening in our hotel. I will return when I visit San Antonio again in the future. read more

El Folklor Bakery - Pan Dulce - Bakeries Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

I've been a few times and everytime has been good. I come here for work pastries. The ladies are very nice and will explain all the different items they have read more

Food & Customer Service is great! I go every Wednesday morning to grab Concha's & Donuts for my Crew. Definitely recommend.

Purchased some after seeing reviews WOW HOW DISAPPOINTING ! Day old bread would've been way better. They should raise the price not to sacrifice quality! What a (HARD) lesson money down the drain !!!! read more

Fantastic traditional style bakery. I love taking my pup to the bakery on the weekends

Todo de muy buen gusto y nada caro. Las empanadas a 89 centavos, otras panaderías a $1.00 y hasta $1.25! La recomiendo y seguiré frecuentándola. read more

Stopped in this shop because I had late night munchies. This place was so so cute! The pastries were delicious and at such a great price! I will definitely be back! read more

The selection was good and they had awesome empanadas! We tried the strawberry and pineapple!

So if your visiting SA or you live near by this is possibly just a tiny bit further from downtown but not a bad distance to go for some authentic delicious pan dulce that won't leave a hole in your wallet. You could probably even use a bird or Uber scooter from the downtown and enjoy some talented graffiti art along the way on Hackberry and even take note of one of San Antonio's best steak places called the Lil' Red Barn to keep in mind for another meal later. I swear this panadería has added more pan dulce and options since I first started going here. Now there are other panaderías all with a little bit different taste and there is a difference. This one. Well this one whatever Manteca they use is not super lardy and it has a light fresh dance on the tongue. And it's enough to sink those teeth or gums into. Lol. As it's still possible to eat this with limited abilities for some. Whether you can enjoy it with a big glass of milk or a delicious cup of coffee. The pan dulce from here won't leave you disappointed. And on the weekends you can add tamales! Now the tamales, I won't say are the best but it's a fair representation of a decent tamale in SA. They do taste good but I think a little less masa would make it a little better unless you like it that way then it would probably be the best for ya. I hope you can enjoy and give this panadería a shot. It's my favorite about a 5-10 mile circumference of the area. I do have others I like to but this is a great place to go when you're in the area and close enough to downtown but able to avoid some crazy lines. Buen provecho! read more

I bought a cake from the bakery to celebrate my in-laws vow renewal. I ordered last minute with not much notice in advance and they were able to accommodate my needs. The cake was beautiful and absolutely delicious; exactly what I asked for. Can't say enough kind things about this bakery. read more

El Folklor Bakery - Vanilla buttercream frosting, vanilla cake and strawberry filling. - Bakeries Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

This place came from no where. Wasn't expecting a great bakery at this place. From outside it looks old and not fancy but once you step in the varieties they serve will amaze you. Also the price is so damn cheap that for $10 you can buy stuff for 2 people. Loved this place. I bought tress leches to go and it was the best I had in the city till now. Thanks to gal for making write reviews on yelp. read more

I've been to this place twice and both times I've seen rodent droppings and roaches. I've brought it up to management very discretely, but they act like they don't speak English. I understand about not wanting to do your part, but please with everything we have going on please do your part. They also use the same dirty bucket water to wipe down trays and counter and anything else inbetween. read more

Love the bread. Only wish there would bring back the small conchitas. Also, I was buy some cajeta empanadas and got home grab some coffee and on my first bite it's wasn't cajeta. Inside the empanada. It was cream cheese. I surely wasn't going to drive all the way back to return them. Wasted my money and don't enjoy my coffee. read more

Great pan dulce and it's priced better than I expected. Staff was friendly and I will be going back soon!

Chile.....15 pieces of pan dulce & my total was almost $25! Talk about highway robbery! I will not return. I mean, the sweet bread was tasty, but not worth that much dough! My new goal is learning to make pan dulce coz this is absolutely ridiculous! read more

I ordered thru drive thru took several minutes for them to approach window, she said bell wasn't working. I was surprised when I ordered 2 dozen donuts for $25.00.. they weren't that good or fresh. read more

Fresh conchas, churros, fritters, empanadas, donuts, cakes, cookies, and anything else you see pictured is all made daily. You can't go wrong. read more

The bread is fine, it is nothing you cannot get anywhere else in San Antonio, especially in the Southeast side. Drive down the street and you'll eventually find comparable pan de dulce. Let's stop pretending that they offer a distinguishable alternative because they do not. We've checked this place out when we roll into town because we know what were getting for pan. My issue with this place is the pricing and how it varies from person to person or whoever is ringing you up. Before my previous trip, we spent around $12 worth of pan and I asked for a box so that the cro-magnon clerk stopped trying to fist everything into one medium sized white paper bag. She said, "sure" and then she charged me a quarter for the box! WTF?!! She sneakily rang it up too. She did not say, "boxes are extra." I let it slide but come on, I'm buying $12 worth of bread and you're gonna nickel and dime me on a freaking piece of assembled cardboard that isn't even grease resistant. You would have thought I was walking out of there with a box full of Philly cheese-steaks. Whatever. Fast forward a month and we're there again because unfortunately, it is on the way. This time I am being a bit more conservative on the amount of pan I am buying. We grab a few soggy empanadas, a bit of cookies, a chocolate chip cupcake, and a regalo. I walk my pizza pan of pan to the register and there is different person ringing me up. As I watch her, she charged me $1.79 for the chocolate chip muffin!!! It was not sized like a muffin you get at Sam's or Costco. It was sized like a cupcake you get at a kid's birthday party. $1.79 and it was stale and dry, according to my kid. I got one 3/4 filled bag and the total was $10 and change. Less than half of what I bought on my previous visit ($12). I'm sure somewhere in that total she added the cost of the white paper bag, the wear-and-tear I put on the tongs I used to grab the bread, and a little extra for the oxygen I converted into carbon dioxide. If we could do half-stars on here, I would do 2.5 because they deserve better than 2 stars but less than 3. The bread is fine, just like anywhere else you go. I guess they do cakes for parties but I have never (nor will I ever) used them because I'm sure they will generously charge you for every single drop of food coloring and every egg cracked. read more

WOW! Bakeries like this just don't exist anymore! We enjoyed a variety of FRESH authentic bakery items at a Very reasonable price. The friendly staff made this the Perfect stop in San Antonio! read more

This bakery can get it. Jk but really this place is a gem. Unlike other panaderías/bakeries they are always stocked with a variety of empanadas and all other Mexican bread favorites. Their bread is soft and fresh every time. read more

Pretty sad I saw flys inside the glass sucking on the bread .. bakery should be clean if they want business.

Absolutely amazing. Best Pan Dulce I've ever had!! And they have donuts too. It's very inexpensive. Try a little bit of everything. It's not a sit down restaurant. Just pick up yummy pastries to go. read more

Great prices and the cookies are delicious. Everytime I go they have a good selection and the employees are always nice.
