5 stars. Big win. The pan dulce was the bomb. I came in for coffee and ended up leaving with way more pastries than I planned. The coffee was simple, hot, and exactly what I wanted. No fuss, no nonsense. Great neighborhood bakery, friendly staff, and prices that won't make you angry. I'll be back. Special shoutout to Daniela for the warm welcome and great service. She made me feel like a regular on my first visit. read more

Of the 8 panaderias I've tried in the Mission, this one takes the pan dulce! All of their baked goods are fresh (often still warm when you get them) and the prices are super reasonable. Their concha-adjacent pans are denser, moister, and have a crunchier thicker sugar topping than your average concha and are the perfect (smaller) size. I also really enjoyed the 3-cheese empanada, which was filled with an almost dulce de leche mixture? and had a lovely sugary crust. Also, their salvadorean quesadillas are popular and well-worth the $4.50 (the most expensive pan in the case)--they have a really complex enriched flavor and a great crumb (the only spot that beats their quesadilla is Pan Lido on 22nd). Also, they have tables! which is rare for a panaderia. Hit this spot if you're in the area and be prepared to have your mind expanded by guatemalan pan dulce read more

Well this morning I walked in and while waiting in line I look down by the mat and there's a mouse dead my 2 children were scared ugh I love this placed I left and called then to inform I didn't want to cut the line and tell then so instead I called them the lady answer and I told her what I saw she was like OK bye like it's normal and it's not as a bakery you should not have dead mouses at the entrance of your business and not even notice read more

The price of bread here is very affordable and I love that it opens early (6am). I also like some of the breakfast foods they have eggs, beans, etc. This place is popular with locals when it opens. It seems like a popular spot to get coffee and breakfast before work. Parking can be a bit tricky, but otherwise I really like this place. I like their fresh bolillos. read more

I normally don't leave reviews, but this experience was too disappointing not to share. I ordered food from this restaurant recently, and everything seemed fine at first--until I discovered a long hair mixed into my meal. That's not just unappetizing, it's completely unacceptable for any dining establishment. I immediately informed the staff and asked to speak with the owner or manager. The employee apologized but told me the owner was not there. I've since learned this is apparently a common issue--the owner is never around to deal with customer complaints. I tried calling back later to follow up, but every time I asked for the owner, I got the same response: "He's not here right now." There seems to be zero accountability or concern for customers' experiences. Mistakes can happen in any kitchen, but what really matters is how management handles them. Unfortunately, this restaurant completely failed in that area. Finding hair in my food was bad enough, but being brushed off and left without any resolution made it worse. It makes me question how clean the kitchen actually is and whether anyone is enforcing proper hygiene standards. I won't be returning, and I definitely can't recommend this place to anyone until they take cleanliness and customer service more seriously. If the owner ever decides to actually show up and take responsibility, maybe things could improve--but as of now, this was one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. read more

Really nice Guatemalan Bakery in the Mission lots of fresh Breads , Juices , Pastry here to start your morning plus some tables if you want to relax a moment and enjoy a light breakfast or lunch. Busy but not crowded , and clearly frequented by those living in the neighborhood. Easy parking when I came in the morning , and I was helped by a very pleasant woman at the counter. The space is clean & welcoming it's a step up from old style bakeries in the mission. The breads & pastry were fresh & yummy , and affordable so yes I will be back, also I think they are still doing Hot Dishes , I need to check them out. update : I really have really enjoyed some of the pastries, and realized that the way Sesame Seeds, Cinnamon , and Anise were used in some of the breads reminded me of Stella D'oro an East Coast Italian Brand. I will be back ! read more

** The following review reflects my takeout experience DURING the COVID-19 pandemic. ** Y'know it's OK to cheat during a pandemic. I don't mean like adultery, but calorie-wise, a little slip is bound to happen because lockdown makes baked confections look better than they have any right to be. I happened upon this newish corner bakery, right across the street from the now-closed La Victoria Bakery, and all I needed was to see the word "panaderia" to walk robotically inside to see the extensive selection in their fast-emptying display case (photo: https://bit.ly/3pHPEoa). It was only later that I discovered it was a Guatemalan cafe that served breakfast and lunch items. In fact, the lineage behind this operation is impressive because the owner is the daughter of the owner of Universal Bakery, the longtime Mission spot that serves satisfying Guatemalan breakfasts including a soft roll I still remember years later (review: https://bit.ly/2NHJoQa). I weakened and bought what I believe was a Chocolate Gusano which I took away with glee. I only walked around the corner, parked the pastry on an empty ledge, and took off my mask to devour it (photo: https://bit.ly/3qIwKim). It was deliciously soft and not too sweet. Indeed like father, like daughter. BAKED GOOD - 4 stars...nice treat during a lockdown AMBIANCE - n/a...looks cheery but I got my gusano and skidaddled SERVICE - 4 stars...genuinely friendly TOTAL - 4 stars...Guatemalan comfort food in the heart of the Mission RELATED - Exploring the Mission?

A Guatemalan Bakery. But it is a good 50-minute bus ride away, and if you don't catch that 48 bus (I didnt) you have a LONG WAIT. But I got a TooGoodToGo deal, so I couldn't pass up the chance to get a sampling of their items, cheap. So we set the alarm and off we went. First of all. I was expecting day old stuff. I got fresh stuff that was still warm when I arrived home 55 minutes later. Hubby and I split the least interesting one, the white thing at the top of my pics. What a wonderful flavor to it. Soft and is that anise? Then a tiny piece of some dense dark thing broke off and found its way into my mouth. That was sweet and wonderful. I have been to a lot of bakeries, and there are some good ones in SF, but never have I been to a Guatemalan one. The bake goods are different in a delightful way. My only complaint besides them being far away for me is that I did not see any prices posted. But most definitely if I am even close to this place, I am returning. It is a nice switch from the usual stuff. read more

When I was a little girl, my favorite bakery was A Guatemalan bakery owned by a couple. It was right on 24th St and Potrero. Now as an adult, one of their sons opened this bakery on 24th and Alabama. To be quite frank, I wasn't a fan of it in the beginning. The service was really slow and I wasn't as impressed with the customer service and the bread. So I stopped going. About a year later, I decided to give it another try and let me tell you....I LoVE it now. I'm not sure what happened there but the service has amped up significantly. The food is also extra delicious and now I am addicted with their 'Pan Con Todo'. It is a bread roll that is stuffed with scrambled eggs, refried beans, sour cream and fresh cheese. You can also add fried plantain. It's like a full on breakfast in a roll. They are not stingy with the amounts and I am pretty full by the time we're done with it. I highly recommend trying this place out and I'm glad that I am writing a review. I tend to write nothing at all when I'm not impressed with the place. And I am motivated to write this positive review and encourage them to keep slaying it :) read more

So got a "toogoodtogo" bag from them--- wow what generous bakery they are. Over a dozen pastries-- but I guess I'm not that into Guatemalan pastries. It was a little dry to me and most contained almond flour or almond extract. read more

Horrible rude service It took almost thirty min I can hear the woman in the back cursing They told me about 24 min in that they were being made and they weren't. I saw people ahead of me getting orders. It was extremely unprofessional The woman making the food was vulgar and disrespectful. I left without my food. I ended up waiting almost 40 minutes and they still hadn't sent anything. When I asked if I could cancel my order the lady immediately started making the food so that she could say she had started it. I think they assumed I didn't speak Spanish, but I heard the conversation the whole time. They were prejudiced and rude. Was a horrible experience overpriced for two Baladas and a drink. I paid almost $25. read more

This is a gem of a bakery. It is Guatemalan and according to another patron it is authentic. I ordered one butter bun that was good. They like a drier crumb that goes well with a coffee. The star was the Pan con Todo, a warm borillo (sp?) bun filled with scrambled eggs, hot beans, two generous pieces of queso fresco and topped with crema. Each bite was so tasty! This was affordable and quick and easy. I can't wait to return to try their other meals. read more

The bread it's amazing. Personal ready to help with a big smile Great job. Definitely going back for a lot more bread

I'm a Puerto Rican native raised in SF Mission District practically on 24th Street. So this place is in "my" old neighborhood. Needless to say, growing up I was exposed to many different Latino cultures and their food. I feel blessed to have had that upbringing and definitely enjoy the different foods from Central America! When gentrification started, we slowly saw all of the original businesses leave. So, It's nice to see that this business opened, with it's yummy Guatemalan food and sweet breads. I'm not 100% sure it's fully Guatemalan style yummies, but I'm pretty sure. Anyway, today was the 2nd time I patronized this business. Both times I ordered the Pan con Todo. The first time I ordered it with no Sour Cream and nothing extra aside from the beans, scrambled eggs, and cheese. I loved it - it was perfect! Today I ordered it again, but this time I added the sweet plantains, (which I felt were undercooked by the way), I also ordered it with no sour cream (again), but today upon getting back to my desk at work, I was disappointed that there were significant remnants of sour cream which I can tell that the sour cream was erroneously put on and then "scraped off". This may not be a big deal but, all my life my taste buds scream in disgust every time I taste the "crema" or sour cream, it just doesn't agree with my palate, and so I always say No Sour Cream. I definitely was disappointed and had to drown the pan with their habanero chile sauce...which I feel is not saucy at all, it's very watery. Now that I thought of writing my review, I realize I should have taken a photo. Oh well, next time. The sweet bread I ordered that had a pineapple filling was AMAZING. The service was a bit slow considering there were 4 people ahead of me and I saw 2-3 people helping in the front by the register. The 3rd person was going back and forth from the kitchen area and to the coffee station. My experience overall is why I give the business 4 stars. My next trial will be the huevos rancheros breakfast. The pics look amazing. Can't wait! read more

This bakery is great! The quesadilla reminds me of Guatemala, sooooo gooodddd! Their pan dulce is good and I love their pan con todo, breakfast in a bolillo. I usually come in for a coffee and get my pan dulce fix! I'm giving a 4 star, because I had gone in a couple times and ordered the atol de elote and it tasted old and it wasn't warmed up properly. I was in Oakland by the time I tried it so I couldn't drive back to exchange it. Another time I ordered togo and they forgot to add an item, so I called in and they were very nice about it and told me to come back to pick it up and thank goodness I was nearby this time. Regardless this establishment is one of my fave Guatemalan bakeries in the city. read more

I wouldn't know about this place if it wasn't for the TooGoodToGo app to help eateries save wastes food from the day before. Nice app to play around with. I randomly choose this place on app but didn't realize it was far from the BART station and had to walk few blocks which took about 12 minutes. But don't worry it's a straight line. It is a nice, clean looking bakery with some people in line ordering coffee and pasteris. It is a clean, well lighted place. Most of the pastries I could see from the window display are mostly bread like pastries with maybe a hint of sweetness. Mexican and Cuban pastries I have no experience with, so this is my first dive into it. So from my surprised goodie day old bag I had a quite a number of breadlike assortments. I had to divide evenly and sort which ones to freeze because I can't eat all that or I will turn onto a doughgirl! Mexican bread pastries are very heavy, hearty and fulfilling which is complete opposite of Chinese bread pastries like the pineapple bun and cocktail buns which are light and fluffy. Both cultures are good in their own way. While writing this I am trying to look up names of some of these pastries I have which are original and chocolate bigote, one concha, fruit empanada, maybe Mexican buñuelos? Oh all in all it was a good experience. Looking forward to try other breads and pastries! read more

Located on the best street in all of SF: 24th street in the mission district so you already know it's poppin'. According to my Guatemalan grandmother and mother, this food reminds them of home (and they are a hard bunch to please), my sister also makes a special drive from across town to eat their quesadillas I'm a huge fan of their pan con todo and fresh orange juice in the morning or early afternoon. The service is great, you're always greeted with a smile even when the line is out the door (which most mornings it is!). Can get pretty packed inside but when you do get a table it's a nice vibe to sit and listen to the chatter of the people. read more

Definitely going to have to be stopping in at least 3 times a week. Heard hype from a group of trustworthy friends when it comes to places of business and people that make Calle 24 what it is. I'm so happy I finally made it in, it surpassed expectations and made me feel at home. The pan is fresh and a great go to as you leave that way you aren't out the door empty handed with such a full stomach and happy heart. Again, made me feel at home and right with my soul. What it is. What's up? Our new go to. read more

Great place to pickup lunch or breakfast, they have a lot of Mexican baked goods and egg dishes served quickly and at a good price.

The fact that it's Guatemalan makes Eterna Primavera even more special since we don't really have much spots in the city that offers Guatemalan Cuisine. The pan dulce is super yummy! My go-to's are usually conchitas, gusanos, and empanada de manjar. Their arroz con leche reminds me of the kind we drink in Guate, on POINT! Definitely recommend this spot on 24th. Try it out and support your local food spots :) read more

Got myself a "box full of deliciousness"! Peach creme pastries and guava pastries - filo dough is perfect--light, flakey, buttery layers! Sweet empanadas with three different fillings (pumpkin, cheese and pineapple)! All were tasty! The Peach creme pastry and pineapple empanada were standouts! Pumpkin filing was awesome too, great for the autumn season! Will come again!! read more

Definitely worth repeating. Great service. Plenty of seating in a nice welcoming space.

It's ok. Prices are high. Coffee was ok. Orange juice was bitter and sour. Customer service was ok. The omelette was ok. The potatoes were ok. I think we paid too much. I think we should have waited for another cafe to open up or just eat our pan from the other panadería. Some of the fruit was not fresh. Even though we tried to be supportive I don't think we will comeback again! read more

Although this is a spin off from Panaderia Universal I would have to say it has a long way to go. Prices are a bit high. An empanada de leche no bigger than a $1 concha cost $4, they have an open kitchen which shows a bit unclean, and table where a customer picks up their order by the kitchen isn't cleaned after each pick up. I'll stick to the original for now. read more

Can't plan to eat here as seating is limited. Ordered food but they forgot to make it and I was left waiting until I had to bring it to their attention. I became hangry so preferred to leave without trying food. It's also unprofessional not to show pricing of what customer is ordering on menu. read more

Their food is always on point, tasty and fresh. Their pan dulce is really good and the restaurant is nice and clean.

Four words sum up our trip here: Pan dulce on point! We ordered an entire bag and it was basically gone in a single day. Fast service, great food, and a great location. We will definitely be back to stock up soon :) read more

Absolutely delicious! I had never been to a Guatemalan bakery and this was a great first experience. The pastries were buttery, flaky, indulgences. The pastries in the pastry display are not labeled with names nor prices (I really don't know what I ordered!), but I loved the items that the staff suggested. The price point is unbeatable for the area... I got 3 pastries and a large coffee for $7. The store was very clean and shockingly busy for 6:30am. I will definitely be back! read more

New restaurant in the mission. Came here for brunch the other day and tried their huevos rancheros. The portion came with fresh potatoes and fruit. There wasn't nearly enough ranchero salsa so i asked for more and they obliged-then the mea became great. They made their tortillas tostadas-crispy and crunchy. Overall decent new place. The menu is Spanish only. read more

Great gGuatemalan food. My favorite is their pan con todo. Bread is fresh and the main dishes are true to the region.
