    Prices as of 9/11/2024
    Laura G.

    Always good. The prices have gone up $1 since last year. It's okay, though. It's usually busy at any time you visit. Mostly during the winter. It's small inside and you need to park far unless you get lucky and park in front. Taste of the tamales de elite is amazing. The champurrado is good too!

    Rajas tamale

    Ordered 2 dzs of tamales rojos /verdes/rajas and the tamales was nothing but masa they didnt have any meat or cheese. The elotes tamales were the only good ones.

    Masa cruda
    Angie C.

    Pura masa y nada de carne y para empeorar las cosas me salieron crudos los de puerco. Hable para avisarles que me habian salido crudos y la manager enojada ni quiso hablar conmigo solo escuche que le dijo a la trabajadora que si queria que me regresaran el dinero. Muy mal servicio. No los recomiendo.

    Sweet Valentine Bakery - Banana Pudding $7

    I tried their cinnamon rolls (delicious), biscoff cheesecake (amazing and I'm not a huge fan of…read morebiscoff cookies), and the banana less pudding (wish I got more)! Staff were really kind! They offer complimentary coffee with a purchase - if I heard right. I didn't take it because I had to stay awake. They have a large parking lot, right next to the 91 freeway.

    Sweet Valentine's Bakery has a wide selection of cakes and treats, which I really appreciated. I…read moreended up trying the German chocolate cake to compare it to my favorite spot, and while it didn't quite reach that level for me, it was very close and definitely competitive. The brown butter chocolate chip cookie was a standout--really delicious and worth going back for. On the other hand, the churro-flavored cookie and the chocolate chip walnut cookie didn't do it for me. They were a bit lacking in flavor, and I personally prefer my cookies to have that crispy-on-the-outside, chewy-on-the-inside texture. These were softer than I like, but that could just come down to preference. One thing I did really like is that they give full cookie samples, not just tiny bites--that's a nice touch and shows confidence in their product. Service was very good, friendly, and welcoming. Overall, I'd come back to try more of their cakes and definitely get the brown butter chocolate chip cookie again.

    Pan Estilo Copala opened up their permanent home earlier this year, on the corner of Rosecrans and…read moreAtlantic, sandwiched between two other shops. I'm extremely happy they have found a brick and mortar spot, because the at home bakery was getting a little wild. If you're curious about this mom and pop bakery, they create delicious traditional pan dulce (Mexican sweet bread), all artisanal, meaning it's all made by hand and with quality ingredients. They've been mentioned and written about on Telemundo, LA eater, La Opinion, even food influencers have been in. Yes, their bread is that good. You might say they don't have a various amount of selection, okay fine, I get your point, BUT you need to take into account that this bread is HAND MADE! and yes, EVERYDAY. This isn't your typical standardized pan dulce either, it's curated from a small pueblo in Copala Mexico, that the owner has spent all her life crafting to get the flavors right. Some breads have unique names such as gusanitos, niños, and borrachos-- but don't let the wacky names fool you, they are absolutely packing in flavor. They also have delicious fried arroz con leche and delicious oven baked camote morado empanadas, and they sell out FAST! If you are in the mood to try some traditional sweet bread from Copala, please come check out this mom and pop panaderia out! The staff is friendly and so welcoming. It's what the culture's feeling. Please support small businesses:) P.S -- they also ship all over the United States. Call or send them a message for the details.

    Great panadería. Bread is soooooo good. You will not be disappointed!…read more Great service too!
