    I think this business is closed I got here at 8:25 and there was nobody there and there was nothing inside.

    I believe this business may be closed? Got there at 8:25 and there's nobody there. Most bakeries are open super early so maybe they are no longer in business.

    Tres leches cake!
    Paulene C.

    They have the best tres leches cake ever! I always order from here for birthday's and what not. I am extremely picky and they always do a great job of giving you exactly what you want.

    Best bolillo in Pico Rivera! Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside
    Vanessa C.

    There are a few other bakeries in Pico Rivera that have been in the city for more than 20 years,but this bakery by far makes the best pan dulce in the city. My family and I use to go to the other long established bakeries but, unfortunately the bread isn't what it use to be. El Rey is a family owned business that has been making fresh bread for the past 25 years. You can always find Rey (the owner) or his brother making fresh bolillo and pan dulce in the morning. If you're in the mood for some delicious bread and want to support a local business, stop by this spot, trust me you won't regret it!

    Look at this croissant!  Better than in Paris!

Their Café Oaxaca is soooo good -- and that's saying something because I'm not even a coffee drinker lol. Somehow they converted me, at least temporarily. I'm also a huge fan of their chipotle bacon and egg breakfast biscuit. It's super tasty, but I will say you'll probably want a drink with it because the bread can be a little on the dry side. Still delicious though. Now let's talk about their chocolate-filled croissant... I'm obsessed. If you know me, you know I'm a SUCKER for croissants. Wee wee It's flaky, chocolatey, and exactly what I want in the morning. Their conchas are also really good and definitely worth grabbing. One thing I really love about this place that most people might not know is that they let you take their used coffee grounds for gardening. I've actually used them on my grass and, not gonna lie, it's helped it grow tremendously. So not only am I leaving with pastries, I'm apparently leaving with lawn care supplies too lol. Overall, great little spot for coffee, pastries, and breakfast. I'll definitely keep stopping by on my morning drop-offs.

When you walk in, the display of cakes and desserts immediately catches your eye, they look delicious and definitely tempting while you're sitting down for breakfast. For breakfast, we ordered a short stack of pancakes, the breakfast combo, and an avocado toast. Everything was very much like a traditional breakfast and tasted good overall, no complaints. I especially liked the avocado toast. Every place seems to have its own variation, and this one had a slight salsa flavor to it, which was actually really good and a nice twist. The service was very friendly, and the atmosphere felt welcoming. I would definitely come back again and would love to try some of their desserts next time.

Fast forward to today (2026), and we're still supporting this local business with the same appreciation. Now that my grandparents are older and can't get to the bakery as often, Duran's has become part of our routine. My dad always stops by on his way home to Whittier--often after jobs in LA, Echo Park, or West LA--passing through Pico Rivera to pick up my grandfather's favorite elote and my grandmother's favorite tortuga. When I visit my parents in Whittier, I make it a point to stop here too--bringing pan dulce for my grandparents in Pico Rivera before heading over. The quality has remained consistently great over the years: fresh, traditional, and made with care. On top of that, the staff is always friendly and welcoming--you're consistently greeted with a warm hello, which makes every visit feel familiar and genuine. Duran's isn't just a bakery--it's part of our family history, and we're grateful it's still here. Duran's ha sido un pilar para nuestra familia por generaciones. Mi papá creció en Pico Rivera a finales de los años 60, y siempre venían aquí por el pan dulce. Hoy, en 2026, seguimos apoyando este negocio local con el mismo cariño. Ahora que mis abuelos ya son mayores y no pueden venir tan seguido, Duran's sigue siendo parte de nuestra rutina. Mi papá siempre pasa cuando va de regreso a Whittier--muchas veces después de trabajos en LA, Echo Park o West LA--para comprarle a mi abuelo su elote favorito y a mi abuela su tortuga. Cuando yo regreso al este del condado de Los Ángeles para visitar a mis papás en Whittier, también paso por Duran's para llevar pan dulce a mis abuelos en Pico Rivera. La calidad siempre es excelente: pan fresco, tradicional y hecho con dedicación. Además, el personal siempre es muy amable y atento--desde que entras te reciben con una bienvenida cálida que hace que cada visita se sienta especial y familiar. Duran's no es solo una panadería--es parte de nuestra historia familiar.

Everyone that had a slice of the cake was also very shocked at how good it tasted.

I genuinely felt the love that went into this cake. The facility does also bake with almonds and walnuts. For anyone with peanut allergies, contaminants is not something to worry about.

Small parking lot in the back and plenty of street parking. Located right in the corner of Whittier and Maple Ave (next to Walgreens). Upon entering, the bakery does look a bit old and outdated but it was clean. They had different types of cakes on display for sale with prices. I came mainly to try their slices of cake and went for the famous mango slice and I wanted to try the chocolate flan. I can see why everyone is raving about the mango cake! It's soft and taste fresh. Layers of sponge cake, whipped cream and fresh mangos inside. Chocolate flan was ok. It wasn't too sweet. Chocolate cake on the bottom with flan on top. However the chocolate shavings on top tasted a bit...artificial? Overall, not a bad slice of cake. I think the owner is Asian because only Asian bakeries make their cakes like sponges. It is not too sweet and so light. I don't have to travel to SGV to get my cakes now since its right down the street from my work. I was able to get prices on full sheet cakes if I was to order a big cake. He did say to give them 1-2 days advance when ordering. I will be back!
