He was…read moreincredibly patient and welcoming, especially since it was our first time visiting this location. His great customer service immediately made us feel comfortable and appreciated. Venue: beautiful, clean, and spacious with plenty of seating for families and friends to gather comfortably. It's conveniently located inside a shopping center with lots of parking available, which made our visit even easier. Ambiance: We absolutely loved the ambiance! The mariachi music playing in the background truly brought the whole experience together and perfectly represented the spirit and name of the location. Food: everything was fresh, delicious, and perfectly balanced in flavor without being overly sweet. We ordered the chocolate croissant, Abuelita's rosca, elote fino, and a fried pulled pork empanada with green sauce. Every item was flavorful and satisfying. The café de olla was warm, comforting, and just the right amount of sweet. Overall, my family and I had a wonderful experience and truly enjoyed our visit. We will definitely be returning for more pan dulce, delicious food, and maybe even try one of the cold brews next time. Highly recommend!

After reading the reviews I guess they did us a favor the place has a B rating YIKES! Just wanted to share that the two people working tonight were very rude and not customer service oriented.

The cake was incredibly moist and delicious, and their cream cheese frosting is seriously the best. The store itself is always clean and so cutely decorated, which makes picking up your order even more enjoyable. The staff is always friendly too. I also love trying their seasonal flavors because they're always super yummy and give me an excuse to try something new! Ordering through the app makes everything easy, too. I was able to place my order ahead of time and have a seamless pickup with no hassle. After this cake, I've officially decided I'll be asking my husband to get my birthday cakes from here from now on!

I did get one that was already made and bought some mini ones too. Family gulped them down. Super tasty. The inside of the store is very cute with things you can buy like coffee mugs or other nice stuff. They also can decorate your Bundt cake with some bday themed tops and I'm sure other types though I was just interested in the bday kind. It's a bit more for that but who cares? I don't. The staff is incredibly helpful and answered all my noob questions. I'll be back to this place for sure.

After requesting to place an order for a cake I would need the next day the staff was more than happy to accept my order. Originally, I would have liked to order a carrot cake but those cakes need to be ordered at least a week in advance so that was very much my fault. I ended up going with a classic tres leches cake which tasted wonderful. Miriam was the one to help me out. Bonus points for having the same name ;) Miriam made great detailed questions to make sure the cake was exactly what I wanted it to be referencing off a picture I had showed her as inspiration. From size all the way down to the smallest details, Miriam disclosed information about how certain designs or details I wanted would change the presentation of the cake, and made sure I was delightlfuly satisfied with what would be the result. She broke down every last detail including how the icing would likely stain our mouths and very nicely reassured me that it would rise right off with water swishes. Overall I was incredibly satisfied with the service I was given, and I greatly appreciate how Miriam thought about every question in order to complete my desired vision.

It had the right crunch, airiness, porous interior and flavor. I toasted it at home and had it with their butter and it was simple perfection. You can find them at multiple different SoCal farmer's markets. The worker here was so kind and gave us the baguette bread for free! I'll definitely be coming back for more baked goods. I want an entire sandwich with that delicious bread. The bad: The butter was pricey at $12-14 (I can't recall the exact price). However, it WAS delicious. My mom reminded me multiple times "DO NOT COOK WITH THIS BUTTER. IT IS TO ENJOY WITH BREAD." The interesting: The worker here actually spoke French! What an authentic touch.

"La favorita Bakery es la menos favorita" English: Be very careful when placing an order at "La Favorita Bakery"--the one on Rosecrans and Downey. You pay for a certain amount of bread and *bolillos* (rolls), but they give you less; they aren't honest, and they give you stale bread that isn't fresh. The owner is discriminatory; when you complain, she calls *you* the liar and won't let you speak--she just wants to shout! They shortchange you on the bread. I had a terrible experience at this bakery and with the owner when I complained about receiving stale bread and being shorted on the *bolillos*--they gave me less than I paid for! "La Favorita Bakery" is the *least* favorite.
