So glad I got to be there for their final day on Monday, August 31, 2026. I haven't known the…read moreowners for very long, but after all the times I had the chance to enjoy their amazing pastries, sandwiches, and sourdough bread, I was more than impressed, and definitely well fed! Also complained when I drove 45 minutes uphill both ways to have nothing left to buy. LOL We also shared plenty of good laughs, especially when I told them I was allergic to water, salt, and oxygen. Somehow, they still managed to find something I could eat. I was lucky enough to buy their very last loaf of sourdough bread, and yes... it is now safely tucked away in my freezer. I'm trying to savor it one slice at a time and make it last as long as possible! It's sad to see such a special place close. I truly hope whomever takes over the business is able to carry on the wonderful tradition, quality, and warmth that made this place so memorable. Wishing the owners nothing but the best in whatever comes next. Thank you for the great food, the laughs, and the awesome memories.

We have been here 2 times, and will never be back…read more Beware of the Owner who will likely also be your server. Here is why: On our first visit, the prices for drinks were high to begin with, but when we asked for an iced latte upgraded to half and half (Breve), we were told it would be extra. Shame on us for not asking how much. A 24 ounce latte with regular milk was $6.95. The upgrade to Breve was an extra $4.00!!! For a grand total of $11.80 with a flavor shot!!! And the drink was of very average quality. More recently we got a scone that was EXTREMELY DRY. When it was brought back, the owner first said "You realize this is a scone, right? As a 30 year baker, that was insulting. Then she squeezed it and said she wanted us to try "the middle". Again, insulting. When I politely declined and said I'd like to get something else, she was very hesitant, and said she was afraid we would be unhappy with another selection, and preferred to give a refund. Insulting a third time. We think the owner might consider a more customer-centric approach, but that's just us.

Spent a slow morning at the Cleveland Cafe today. I ordered the Pumpkin Cream Chai latte iced and…read moreit did not disappoint. It was the right spice of chai. I ordered the protein avocado toast and it was really good. The sprouts and feta were a nice touch. The staff was friendly and welcoming and the inside had such a warm cozy feel to it. They were playing music and it was just the right vibes for a slow morning to read my book. I stayed for about two hours and in that time saw a lot of regulars come in to visit. The staff remembered a lot of their orders. That always adds a personal touch. Will definitely be back!!

I went to pick up the cake but I understand you can ask for delivery. You may need to pull into her driveway due to a lack of parking, there being some construction. She accepted Zelle for payment. The cake was indeed elegant. On those baking shows they always judge, before all else, the actual bake. It was as right as right could be. My family owned a bakery and my daughter went to pastry school, so we've seen a lot of cakes. The frosting was very nice with a high butter content. To be clear, this was an Italian or Swiss buttercream. The filling was a lemon custard which was slightly runny but tasted great. The lettering had gold highlights.

I'm not sure what's going on with this place but it used to be a great place to shop. Now when we…read morego they're constantly out of items. For example, they haven't had cottage cheese for weeks. We called and asked why on the phone and they say it's because of manufacturing issues but Albertsons, down the street has tons of it; so much so they have it on sale, so I don't think that's what's going on. Their dairy section always seems hit or miss- and it's been a miss a lot lately. Something is wrong with their ordering. There is no consistency. Another issue is with their rotisserie chickens. Most of the time they are all burnt. We've asked multiple people in the front of the store at checkout and honestly, most of them don't even know they sell chickens. It's really odd how people working in such a small store have no idea what's going on in the back of the store. And obviously no one working there seems to notice nor care that the chickens are all burnt. I don't understand how no one working there says anything. I mean, it looks a bit strange to be selling burnt chicken, no? In addition there is no consistency in the sizes of their rotisserie chicken. They used to be like 3- 3.5 lbs each. Now they're often 2 lbs and under and they're the same price. If there's going to be such a discrepancy in weight, they should be sold by the pound. Getting back to ordering, I'm not 100% sure but it seems like one of their freezers malfunctioned because they had it empty for a few days. Then all of a sudden all the ice cream that they put back in the freezer looked like it had previously melted and instead of throwing the sticky melted messy ice cream out, they just put it back for sale. I was going to buy some but I could tell that the cartons didn't look right. That is not okay. It should be counted as waste and restocked with fresh product. I don't think Tillamook would appreciate them selling their product that's obviously not up to standards. Regarding their soup bar, I have noticed in the evening, before even the local jui jitsu gym lets out next door, they are often out of multiple soups. I'm talking at like 530pm. The hot bar is often similar. Why is this not being restocked for dinner? Lastly, I just want to reiterate that although the cashiers are usually very friendly, they really should know what's going on in the back of the store. I mean, when we ask them about the soups, they should at least know that soup is sold there. They should know if they cook the chickens in- house and/ or who to speak to regarding the fresh food. They act like they've never seen the back of the store. So I suggest maybe giving them a tour when they're hired and telling them some things so that when they're the only ones customers have the opportunity to speak to, they have some knowledge of what's being sold. It was almost humourous when we asked why the chickens were always burnt and they were like, oh we sell chickens? Seriously. That's bad training. You can do better and I really want you to. I do appreciate there being a smaller grocery store here and their produce section is great. It just seems like some things are slipping a bit.

There are a few seats inside, but plenty outside. I love the plain apple cider donuts, cookies, and Dutch apple pie. The donut has a slight crisp on the outside and the taste of apple is light.

We actually wanted to order another slice, but just a heads-up: after 5 PM, they only sell whole pies that are frozen. The pie was excellent on its own, but even better with a side of their cinnamon ice cream. The combination was so good! Definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the mood for a really good pie.

The pumpkin pie was lovely-- not too sweet, flavorful, smooth even custard. Pumpkin is not my fav, but I would get that again. The whole pie made it home and we had a slice after dinner. It was not too sweet; in fact, the cherries were beautifully tart which contrasted well with the natural sweetness of the apples. The crumb topping was crunchy without feeling too buttery or too sugary-- easily the best crumb topping I've ever had. The bottom crust blended well into the pie, so it didn't feel like an extra layer but was sturdy enough to serve the slice onto a plate. I am honestly so sad that I did not get five more whole pies to freeze for later.

I was hoping to purchase sourdough bread, but unfortunately, it is only available by pre-order. When I mentioned to one of the bakers that I am diabetic and unable to eat regular bread, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that they offer pastries made with almond flour, coconut flour, and monk fruit sweetener. I truly appreciate businesses that consider customers with dietary restrictions. This bakery is a great option for people who are diabetic, watching their carbohydrate intake, or looking for alternatives to traditional flour-based pastries. The bakery itself was clean, inviting, and well maintained. The staff were helpful and informative, making the experience even more enjoyable. I would definitely recommend El Mejor Pan de Tecate, especially for anyone looking for delicious baked goods with healthier options available.

Someone had once asked me if this was a Filipino bakery because every single time she went to a Filipino party, she always saw a strudel and treats from here. I told her it wasn't, however us Filipinos love exposing each other to great eats and end up using those same establishments for our events by word of mouth. Ambiance is cool because they had extended the bakery and have multiple people ready to help you. There is a number system in place to Keep it as organized as possible. You won't be bored because the selection is so much and there is something for everyone. Prices are honestly great here honestly for being a rich part of town.

The tres leches with fruit on top is some of the finest tres leches I've had north of the border. For myself I love the strawberry fresh fruit croissant, chocolate with cream croissant, and whatever else I'd be in the mood for that day. My mom loves the Bavarian pocket with Bavarian cream and an apple filling. This place is a Chula Vista staple and super crowded during holidays, with lines going on forever. So make sure to reserve your order online during the holidays!
