    Concha!
    Bryant G.

    Some of the best conchas around. They have a great texture to the bread, and just the right amount of sweetness. The make them in mini, regular and humungous! Seriously they make one that is bigger than a sourdough loaf and it's like $6. It's a small place and items are sold out depending on demand. I've been there and had tons and tons of selection fresh and being stocked and other times almost nothing left. They have tons of really good types of pan dulce and galletas. They also have really good jamoncillo and dulce de leche near the register.

    El Pavo has several locations and has been around for many years, I also consider them to be one of the better Panaderias in town, not my favorite, but pretty reliable for some good Pan Dulce. This trip was some Chocolate Conchas, Empanadas de Pina y Oreja's. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/el-pavo-bakery-los-angeles-2?select=AYTuWZQ7fpMmdd4H2nKphw https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/el-pavo-bakery-los-angeles-2?select=vDM3r8NK2pCELI4O1qxAfg

    Been coming here for years to get my pan dulce fix. Prices are right. Quality of the cookies and bread? 10/10 Thres Leches cake? 10/10 Can also pre-order birthday cakes, or pick one up. Open late at night? Yes. Fresh bread and cookies? Yes. They also carry dairy products such as milk, eggs, cheese.. etc and chorizo. Coffee & Champurado? Yes Empandas and tamales. Meter parking only.

    Thank you El Pavo!! My daughter and I LOVED the giant tortuga and baby. I greatly appreciate your fast, professionalism to order this. The bread was extra soft and delicious as always! This may be my next birthday cake

    This spot has pretty good bread. The bread had just arrived and it was pretty good. Soft and fresh. The spot has a very old school vibe .The employees were nice. Only thing I would like to see prices on the bread.

    The spoiled cake and all the plates!!!

Overall, such a great bakery that I'd definitely recommend checking out!

Neighborhood residential street might be a good option for parking on Avenue 47 but street sweeping (No Parking) is from 8-10am Wednesday on one side and Thursday on the other side. Orange Blossom Almond Croissant -personally was disgusting, orange blossom was extremely strong. Too fragrant that it tasted like a floral bath bomb or soap. Some do like this but it wasn't for me. Tofu Cloud Croissant Toast -cream on top was pretty salted, to help balance the caramelized sugar that helps press the croissant into a toast. Overall, it wasn't wasn't bad but wasn't good and slightly too salted. Passionfruit Croiffin- texture of the croissant/muffin was great! Buttery, flaky and light. Passionfruit cream filling wasn't too sweet. I loved the tart passionfruit seeds. But you might want to scoop some out if you don't enjoy too much sourness. Elderflower Rhubarb Danish - way too crunchy, would prefer it to be crispy instead of a crunch. Filling was good, not too sweet. Black Sesame Parisian Flan -if you love black sesame, this would be right up your alley. Perfect sweet treat to bring to any auntie's home! Blueberry Tea Scone -not too dense. Surprisingly not too sweet even with the demerara sugar coating. It wasn't really crunchy but more sticky and caramelized from sitting.

I got a sausage bbang, a chocopie, and a dalgona latte. The sausage bbang was soggy on the bottom and honestly tasted like it was from the day before. The chocopie barely had any filling, just a thin layer of marshmallow and jam. It honestly felt like they used most of the marshmallow for their Dubai choco cookie because it's probably more profitable, instead of properly filling the chocopie. If that's the case, it's better not to sell it at all than serve something like that. The dalgona latte was also disappointing. With ice, the drink only filled to the bottom third line of the cup marking. Clearly, they skimped on the milk. There was also a weird moment when I paid. My total was $15.25 and I paid cash, but I was given $4.75 in change. When I said it should be $5, she seemed confused and asked what I meant. I told her I literally gave you a quarter right now, and she questioned it before eventually giving me the correct change. I'll give her the benefit of the doubt and assume it was a mistake. I understand times are hard, but charging more for products that clearly had corners cut doesn't sit right with me. It just comes across like there's no integrity. Clearly the quality and portions are going downhill. I wasn't even planning on writing this review. I was going to stay quiet, but the chocopie really ticked me off.

I expected a high-quality cupcake. The cupcakes looked cute, but they were as dry as the Sahara. They should have been labeled as white cupcakes as I didn't detect any vanilla in them. I suspect that the "buttercream" was made with milk and margarine and powdered sugar.....so much powdered sugar. It was sickeningly sweet, and it was dry too. And a true bettercream doesn't even use powdered sugar. So not only were the cupcakes terrible, they were not even what they purported to be. This is like calling a cut of meat a filet mignon and serving a hamburger. Von's, Ralphs and Albertson's make better cupcakes than this for a fraction of othe price.
