Today we purchased new items to try and some old favorites! New items that we tried and are so good: the mango and guava pre-packaged señorita bread, a pre-packaged guava pastry (at the register) and bought 3/$12 ube malasadas. Our family definitely enjoyed everything and we are so happy we came in and were able to get our hands on these coveted heavenly carbs today!

We bought 10, and 3 malasadas. I do not have much of a sweet tooth, but the texture of the bread is so pillowy and light especially when warmed. I can definitely see how these can be addictive. The ube malasadas were great too, not too heavy at all.

It seems family owned and operated, and the folks there were very friendly and kind. I came by and picked up a few items for the next couple of days. Very reasonably priced. Transaction was easy and the pastries were good.

Prices are still affordable too - college student friendly prices. Location is unbeatable - right in University Village (and parking is free now, don't need validation), walking distance from UCR, and right next to the University Ave freeway entrance/exit. We both each got a Cheesecake Slice, Matcha for me & Blueberry for him, and we cut them in half to share. Both were really good! Great value - I think they were only $3.75 each slice! Service was good. Ambiance - it's small and tight so there's nowhere to sit. My friend and I went over to Qamaria to find a table to sit down at instead. Highly recommend this place and will definitely be back if/when I'm in the area again!

I had been there two times before, but couldn't remember why I stopped going well now I remember!I got two puercos and a tamale which was decent but nothing spectacular the ones at Cardenas taste better. I have attached a video of said Mexican bread that literally felt and tasted like it was made Thursday, it was SOOOOOOOOOO DRY it crumbled when I tore a piece off! This place is not cheap by any means so I expect FRESH items and that was not the case. Next time I will wait the additional hour and Go to Pepe's they open later but AT LEAST everything is fresh!

This is a small bakery that opens early, and was busy with a steady stream of customers, which I took as a sign that this place was good. Most were getting pastries and bread (which you help yourself to and place on a tray & pay at register), but some were also ordering tamales. They also serve smoothies! Ordered two and a half dozen tamales (18 cheese and a dozen pork) but when we got home realized that all the tamales looked alike; as none were marked or separated; and we were given chicken instead of pork. Once reheated, the tamales tasted amazing. We also got a dozen mini conchas at 70c each. Pretty affordable and tasty. The tamales were $35/dozen. Will be back again!

Okay, I finally tried Uncle Fluffy and now I understand the hype…read more I only got a chance to try the Original Japanese Cheesecake, but it was SO good. Super light, fluffy, and not overly sweet, which makes it dangerously easy to keep eating. Pairing it with their cold brew was honestly the move--the coffee and cheesecake together were . The location itself is pretty small, so in my opinion this is more of a grab-your-cheesecake-and-go kind of spot rather than somewhere you're going to hang out for a while. The parking lot can also get pretty busy, so just keep that in mind. Definitely coming back because now I need to try some of the other flavors. If the Original was this good, I have some research to do.

I've been trying to get to Isabella's Cupcakes for two years and today I finally made it!…read more The shop was bumping with energy, the aroma of baked goods was pouring out the front door and the staff were serving happiness. I was quickly greeted by a staff member with a joyful "Welcome! What can I get for you?" This was gonna be one of the toughest decisions... which cupcakes do I get?!?!?? I knew I couldn't take one of each, that would be crazy. There were just too many to choose from. I finally decided on the Strawberry Shortcake (for me!), a Carrot Cake, the Lemon Lemon and the Salted Chocolate Caramel. Now that I got the goods, the next step is to get home as quickly as possible so I can enjoy these delights!!! Worth the wait! I took a bite of the Lemon Lemon and the Strawberry Shortcake...devine! Frosting was perfect, flavors were on point and I loved the cake was perfectly moist. 500 stars!!!

I put in a special order for a 4 pack of cupcakes 2 days before they needed to be picked up. I…read morepicked from the flavors that were already available in the case. The entire reason why I put in a special order was because I was told one of the flavors I wanted would be changed out on the day I needed to pick up the cupcakes and I wanted the cupcakes to be fresh. I was assured that the bakers that day would see the order and make the cupcake flavor special for my order. Lo and behold, I walk in to collect my order on time and I'm told they dont have my order ready AND they dont have the specific flavor I requested! The person helping me looked at my order and it was the first time she had ever set eyes on it. I had already pre paid for the order at this point and did not have another option so I was SOL. Instead they gave me an old cupcake in the requested flavor that they had stored in a fridge for who knows how long and filled out the rest of the order with what was in the display. So I basically paid full price for old cake. This was my first experience with this bakery and if this is how they treat something as basic as a simple small cupcake order, how am I to trust them to handle anything more complex like a custom cake or a wedding order? No thanks.

Heading towards wine country, it was along the way off the 60. Made it easy as it was a couple minutes off the freeway. It's located in a pretty massive strip mall with loads of other businesses. Plenty of parking which is alway a good thing whenever you're somewhere. Simple storefront but once you walk inside the place was pretty big. On side of the bakery is where the pastries and baked goods are. If you haven't been to one of the chain stores, you grab a tray and help yourself to the package sweets. There's rows and rows of fresh baked daily goods. Every piece is individually wrapped. Not only sweets, there's also sandwiches which I didn't even know they had. Along the front where the cashier is, whole cakes and slices are available. Once you finished picking out what you want, take the tray to the counter and that's where they ring things up. Drinks can also be ordered there. I did pick up a couple of boxes of the individual pastries and sweets. Both savory and sweets. A while strawberry cake and two drinks. That came up to about 108.00. The staff were all pretty sweet and friendly. I overheard one of the other cashier asking another patron if they wanted something heated up. Which I asked the cashier that was ringing my order up but she couldn't heat my croissant up as it wasn't the pre wrapped sandwiches. Only sandwiches could be heated up. Oh well. As I ordered drinks, which the other half of the cafe is the dining area. First off, the place was pretty massive and majority of the space in the middle isn't utilized. Just an open space which the could have added more tables for seating. Even though there was good amount of people working the drinks counter, it took forever for our drinks to be ready. It seemed like only one person was making the drinks which I think took at least 10 minutes for my drinks to be ready. Overall, it a nice space and the shelves were fully stocked. Come first thing as you know everything should be fresh and available. Downfall, it took forever for drinks to be made and it wasn't that busy when we walked in.

We waited in line for about 20 minutes to order, but it was absolutely worth every minute. We ordered a mix of sweet and savory dishes, and everything tasted delicious with great presentation: Two Eggs Breakfast ($16): Classic and perfectly cooked, served with flavorful fried potatoes, applewood smoked bacon, and perfectly toasted sourdough. Triple-Berry Challah French Toast ($18.50): The standout sweet dish! The challah bread was beautifully stuffed with berry cream cheese and loaded with fresh strawberries, blackberries, and raspberries. Breakfast Croissant Club ($17.50): Massive and delicious, packed with flavorful homemade chicken apple sausage, two eggs, cheese, avocado, tomato, mayo, and a side of potatoes. We also grabbed a cookie, orange juice, and some coffees to round out the meal. If you are in downtown Riverside and don't mind a bit of a weekend crowd, this spot is an absolute must-visit. We will definitely be back.

I came in at sort of an odd hour for lunch so the place was pretty chill and not too busy. Service style is fast casual where you order at the counter and find a seat. The place has a feel of having been there for a long time with large wood booths or separators. I ordered the grilled pastrami and Swiss sandwich and got it with their potato salad. The pastrami was griddled and has an old school flavor and style with some nice crunch from the sourdough. A great sandwich overall! Parking in the neighborhood wasn't too hard to find along the street and even if you need to park a block or two away, the neighborhood is nice to walk through.
