I was so disappointed. I ordered a Wedding cake in a specific decorated way, my receipt said how I wanted the cake to look and they gave me a completely different cake. It was horrible. When I told them that it wasn't the cake that I ordered, they told me... "were sorry, we made a mistake and there is nothing we can do" after so much drama, I only walked away with a "cake topper" and I still had to pay for the balance of the cake. I had no choice but to take the cake. Where was I going to get another cake at the last minute. They couldn't change the decoration of the cake because the men that do the decoration were gone. As the a loyal customer, they should of done everything in their power to bring the men back and change the decoration or given me the cake at no charge for what they did...They made no attempt to satisfy me. The manager couldn't even show me her managing license, couldn't even give the owner number, when or where to reach him. They didn't even want to give me "MY RECEIPT". I've ordered cakes for so many years from this place....never again will I step foot into that place not will ever recommend anyone to it anymore. I was humiliated, frustrated, mislead, and I was hurt. I walked into the wedding reception with (an UGLY cake). If you ever get a chance to go inside... If your curious... I ordered Letra "B" decoration and they gave me Letra "L" decoration. A completely different visual cake. I WILL NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYONE... read more

Elizabeth Bakery - Not what I ordered! - Bakeries Near Me - South Gate, California

These bollillos are the best bread rolls EVER!!! They stay fresh a week or longer when kept proper. So soft and delicious like pillows of heavenly carbs. Love their pandulce, tres leches and flan as well. Its well worth a visit to discover and enjoy the experience of great taste. A JEWEL of this city, South Gate. read more

Elizabeth bakery has the best bolillos ever but terrible customer service. I was so upset because I had to come into their bakery to place an order for their mini bolillos could not do it over the phone. I came early to place my order and then they tell me that there is a minimum order of 50 mini bolillos. OMG!! I only wanted 24 so I was pretty upset but I came all the from west Covina and my family loves their bolillos so much that I just placed the order. I wish they would have told me yesterday when I called and ask for 24 :-( read more

I agree with Aiden. What is up with this places customer service? It is ran by angry women! "next, NEXT!!!" I went today along with two pals and I asked for 2 little jello pudding things. I know I did not use the proper term of "gelatina" or just "jello" but hey what is that thing called anyways? It's a gelatin subtance stuffed with colorful cubes of gelatin. Whatever, point is that the girl stood for like 10 seconds with a puzzled expression filled with attitude so my pal Cindy adds "la gelatina" and the girl responds "I know!" whoa... No no no. No matter how many redundant questions or comments come through the company door of which I work for would I everrr respond to a customer like that. I must say they do have choco-flan to die for. Grrr! Bad customer service all the time!!! Good flans and jellos read more

The whole intersection smells like sweet bread when they pull out the bread from the ovens, No lie! My family and I stop here frequently for "bolillo" it has a bit of a sweet taste to it, and compared to other bolillos from other places it won't turn hard like a rock on the second day... Their bolillo makes the best tortas! 'nough said! read more

The bolillo's are really as good as every one says the are. But I would just stick with that if you arent into pastry's they are good to eat by themselves or make a sandwich. The line is usually long but it goes by fast. & there is usually a black bum in a wheelchair outside.. HE'S AN UNGRATEFUL BASTARD. He's Doesnt want Bolillo, he doesnt want Change, He wants Dollars He's a Dick. Oh & the parking is usually a nightmare so have some patience if you decide to go get your bread on! read more

I am not too sure how long my family and I have been loyal customer to this Bakery but it's been since FOoorever!!! They have fresh out of the oven kinda bread and cakes. Everything they have has just been made that day. I recently made a stop to purchase bread for Thanksgiving. I bought $15.00 dollars worth of bread which equaled to 3 bags of bread. Call me crazy but this bread is delicious. It is perfect for sandwiches, breakfast sandwiches, bread with turkey, I mean mostly everything. It is fresh and soo soft you will definitely come back. They have a large parking but it is always full. The service moves pretty quickly so you will not wait long for someone to give you an open spot for parking. This Bakery is in the corner of Firestone and Long Beach in the city of South Gate, Ca. read more

This review is a mixed bowl and I'm not too sure only what's fair to rate them at but since it's so varied I give it an overall 2. Almost a 1 the cheesecakes was so bad. Their items taste range from downright awful cheesecake to really good bread. Breakdown is below I walked into this place and it looked like a dessert heaven and all that was on my mind, cheesecakes! So many cheesecakes! Cookies and cream Cheesecake - ewww the cookie I don't think we're real Oreos they tasted off brand. The cheesecake tasted like it had batter in it. Is that even possible? Not cheesy, not delicious, not at all. It looked so good and tasted so bad. I was so disappointed. Strawberry cheesecake, the strawberry on top was good but that was about it. The cheesecakes tasted like it had cake batter in it, it didn't taste cheesy or creamy or good at all. Flan with cheesecake, lol. I told you I liked cheesecake. Omg the stupid cheesecake was horrible, I was so mad it made me laugh. Lol The flan was pretty okay though. Not the best I've ever had but not bad at all. It was good, just good, not terrific not good enough to make up for the sucky cheesecake. 2.50 or 2.75 for the cheesecakes Sweet breads, pan Mexicanos, got a few of those, they ranged between 2-4 I'm glad I held back on cheesecakes as I had planned to grab a couple of other favors but I'm trying to not eat too much. lmao.yes I lie to myself. I was disappointed by the fancy untasty desserts. I really wanted to like this place read more

5 stars for fresh baked bread and sweets. Love the mini chocolate frosted donuts as the chocolate has a nice strong flavor that is not overly sweet. The bolillos was nice and fluffy inside of their crispy outer crust. They seem to have just about every type of pan dulce you can imagine and lots of cakes, cupcakes and misc baked goods. read more

Green Mold Pastries!! Do not buy any cakes or pastries they bake ahead of time! It will sit there until it sells and obviously pastries do not sell fast enough where it gets old and molded! Worst experience of my life with food. Won't be going there again. read more

The Best Bolillo in L.A. I've lived here in L.A. my whole life and I must say that Elizabeths is the most amazing Panaderia I have ever been to. They have the largest selection of pan dulce that I have ever seen but there most prized item is their bolillo. I have had bolillo all over L.A. and various states in Mexico, but it all comes down to Elizabeths bolillo. They make their bolillo so fluffy and tasteful, and amazingly it stays fresh days after your purchase, in most other panaderias bolillo starts to harden the day after you purchase it. I would highly recomend Elizabeths to anyone, I know people that drive out all the way from Torrance just to buy the bolillo, Like I said its The BEST! read more

Good bread, but the owners feel the need to still charge $.75 for using your debit card. Buisness that charge you for purchasing using your card need to realize that it still money. read more

I've been coming here since the late 70's to buy cakes, but recently bought some tamales and they were very dry and too much masa. The red ones had vegetables in them which if I had known, I would not have bought them. Peoples that sell out in the streets sell them this way to make more for their money, but a restaurant should not. The green ones were also dry, hardly any meat, and too much mass also. . . read more

No better place in the 323 to get authentic pan dulce (sweet bread). I've been coming here since I was a kid and nothings changed. Bread is always fresh and tasty. They have a variety of breads, cakes, puddings etc.. and one of a kind bollios. I would have given them 5 stars if it wasn't for their horrible parking & .50 service fee for using debit/credit card. read more

You can not get any more authentic than this place. The pan dulce is simply amazing. The empanadas are delicious. You can't go wrong with anything here. read more

Best Pan Dulce ever... Customer service So call manager won't provide or give her supervisor name ...

This was my favorite bakery until today. Super bad customer service. The lady that helped me out (Lucy) seemed like she doesn't want to work there. If you don't like what you do, find another job. She heard my bread order wrong And she got very upset when I told her that wasn't what I asked for, so she threw the tray of bread and asked her coworker to finish helping me out. She should of apologized and said "my mistake" or acknowledged me. This bakery needs new workers to run this place. read more

I've been coming for years. I love there pastries and bread. There bolillo is some of the best. They've expanded the bakery to where the restaurant used to be. They've upgraded it as well adding fine pastries and a cafe area. Usually there lines are pretty long but the good think is that they tend to their customers rapidly. So you won't be waiting in line for a long time. The staff are usually friendly, I've never had a bad encounter. Overall it's a great bakery reminiscent of Mexican bakeries and best at that. read more

Elizabeth's Bakery is a small gem in the South Gate area that I welcome with open arms. They bake the finest bolillos you can ever envision and the pan de dulce is to die for; especially on those cold windy nights with some hot chocolate... ah, takes me back to my childhood. My favourites are conchitas right out of the oven and the puerquitos which saddens me every time I have to bite the head of that defenseless piggy. Yes, the parking can anger you with its small spots but eventually you'll get your chance at your bread. Remember to also be tough when it comes to ordering -- you don't want grandma stealing all of your bolillos! read more

The customer service is horrible in this bakery. I went with my sister to buy some conchas and my sister asked for a dozen conchas mixed so with all 3 flavors. The worker left and came back with only 3 conchas to which I told her "I wanted a dozen" and she responds by saying "you told me you wanted three flavors" and my sister told her "yes, a dozen mixed of all 3 flavors" to which the worker gave us an ugly eye roll and left but returned with the same 3 conchas! Then she asks "so you don't want these?" and mud sited said "yes, but a dozen of them." Then the girl asks "ok do you want a dozen of each flavor?" So that's when I stepped in and said "She wants a dozen conchas mixed with all 3 flavors, so 4 chocolate, 4 strawberry, and 4 vanilla" so the worker smacks her teeth, rolls her eyes and gets us our conchas. No idea why she's so rude and can't understand something so simple. If I could give zero stars I would. read more

As old good as it gets! We have been buying our boillio at this bakery since 1985! It's amazing and keeps fresh for days. It's worth it even though the parking is a hassle. My suggestion is you pre-order if you plan on going during the holidays. Prices went up buts it's still the best in town! read more

The best best best bakery! The white cake with fresh strawberries and almonds on whipped cream frosting is to die for!

YEAH!! This place ROCKS. I loved the cakes here. I ordered a cake for my boyfriend's birthday, as I was suggested by a friend. I always got the cake from the other bakery in the town but this time I tried this place on friend's request. The cake was so good that my BF liked it very much and this is the only thing that i wanted. I should also have to mention the things like service which was wonderful and the cupcakes and other bakery products. Its inexpensive too. The cheesecakes here are treat for you, they are so good. I would love to go again as they have satisfied their customer. read more

Don't go based on reviews for this place. The bread is delicious and that's all that matters! It's hard to find a good panadería. This place is worth it! read more

You will always find a line here. That's one of the reasons I gave it 4 stars. You have to be patient when you come here. Also, the bread is pricier than other bakeries. Aside from those two things the bread is superb. The birote is to die for ( French roll). Especially when it's fresh out. My husband will usually come to buy it on Sunday mornings to eat with freshly refried beans. read more

You've been to one Mexican bakery, you've been to all of them. That's the attitude I have with banaderias, but this one took me by surprise. There was a wide selection of different treats and they have a bunch of breads that have queso in them. The concha tasted like any other, but what really stood out was the bollio. Sure it's 3 for a $1, but trust me when I tell you that it is a dollar well spent. If not for any other reason please come to Elizabeth's and get an order of bollio; you won't be disappointed. read more

I bought a birthday cake here and it was the worst everyone in my party just got like 2 spoons of the cake and left it there i got a tres leches cake and it was really dry i will never come back to this place i wouldn't recommend this place at all read more

The Bolio is the best seller I would say. Always hot and fresh when I go and there's definitely always a line for it Aside from the Bolio I love their Tamales! Meaty and thick. Pork is my favorite., the chicken is a little spicy., haven't tried dulce but not a fan regardless. read more

This bakery's strength definetly comes from their traditional mexican sweets. The bolillo and conchas are the best you'll ever have, especially when it's fresh from the oven. The only negative thing I have to say is this; A couple years ago, the salvodorian restaurant next door closed down which allowed the bakery to expand. With that, they were able to expand the options of sweets as well. They added more popular type pastries like red velvet cupcakes, carrot cake, etc. That is were it falls short. They more than excel on mexican treats like Tres Leches cake and ChocoFlan, but because they want to please more customers, they attemp things you would find in an american Type bakery, which they don't have much experience with. The flavors fall flat and the texture is not that plesant. Definetly stick to the traditional stuff, it really is to die for!! read more

First of all I want to say I am proud that my parents introduced me to this bakery and now introduced it to my husband and been coming here for 20 plus years and will always be my number 1 place to Come to for bread best place to get your bolillos nice and warm and sweet bread is very good you won't regret it read more

This place has the worse customer service!! So my star is for the bread only. If you want people's money, at least give a decent service

I went in today to see what they had, i saw they had a lot of cakes and pastries which looked good until i looked closely to all the pastries and noticed green rottin spots on some of them. But i didnt mind due to my first time being here, i ordered two bionicos and didnt tried them till i got home. When i did try them, the cream was super runny, all the fruit was ROTTEN! The majority of the fruit felt like they have been cut and stored in the fridge for days! We gave a call to let them know the fruit was rotton and the lady ignored that fact and said all the fruit was bought today. Overall i will definitely NOT RETURN. The lady didnt even offer me a refund! Please make sure to check all foods and quality given here before you pay!!!! read more

This bakery is really famous due to their sweet bolillo or "birote" as other people call it. It's always fresh. Their big downer is their "pan dulce". Yes they have a variety but it is really bad in taste. They really have to upgrade their recipe for their dough. Now their customer service is really bad. They always have like three staff members working behind the counter but they have their attitude most of the times. The owner has to really learn about hospitality in a business and teach his employees working there. read more

I love the bolillos birotes whatever you wanna call them lol but they are so soft and delicious!
