I usually come here for the Tortas... the pan is really good tho (I just don't eat it all the time). Parking is easy and they have a small variety of other items that is not just bread. read more

Nice bread. I go here often and always get the conchas. My favorite pastries here would have to be the custard filled horns but they don't have them all the time. read more

Swung by on a Saturday around 6:30am, and it was bustling with construction workers getting tortas and dulces for the day. Grab a pair of tongs + cafeteria tray, and go crazy at the packed cabinets! $0.35/telera (pan francés aka french bread) $0.80 for any pastry $1/barquillos - concha was good, but there are varying amounts of sweet topping so choose your concha from the cabinets wisely - telera was pillowy and soft, although the edges were a teeny bit dry - perhaps it was the one I got, but the center was fantastic; they're not in the cabinets, but in an ice cream cooler-like contraption - sweet empanada had a creme filling (similar to those of Boston creme donuts) that was crunchy on the edges and soft in the middle, nicely coated in sugar - I think this counted as my barquillos (?) also known as a coyota (??) ... ?????? There's a decent amount of fat/shortening in the flaky pastries, and the ones that survived the parking lot and drive home, I popped in my toaster oven so they could crisp up. The ones with a sugar dusting were particularly awesome, because they formed a sweet, caramelized crust. I didn't get a torta, but they looked damn good. I saw a huge row of them being assembled, and they were being maxed out with toppings. This was my first pan dulce trip (but definitely not my last), so I unfortunately don't have anything to compare this too. However, they had so many things (torta and filled pastries) I didn't try, so La Flor de Puebla, I will be back! I feel like this bakery doesn't check their reviews on here because they know their worth and have a solid customer base that keeps coming back, which has to count for something. Also, they have a window on the side of the building where you can see them prepare the breads (at least in the morning), which I thought was cool! Over $5 for a credit card purchases read more

This is a nice bakery. Their tortas are always good. I got a cake for my sis's bday celebration. Ordering the cake from Guadalupe was easy. She was so nice being as though this was my first time. The cake was delish and everyone loved it. Will be back for the next celebration for sure. read more

Truly authentic. I say that like I am an expert on Mexican bakeries, which I most certainly am not. However, when the employees and the two other customers are Hispanic, then they must be doing something right. I can't say I know exactly what I bought because this is a self-serve bakery. When you enter you grab a cafeteria-style tray and tongs and pick out your own baked goods. The names and prices are not listed so I had to go by looks alone. I bought a sugar-coated doughnut to eat during my break from my class down the road. It was okay. I saved the sugar cookie for my 4:00 tea break. That was great! it was really bis too. The last thing I bought (for later) was some kind of sponge cake jelly roll with pink coconut frosting. Its name began with Ninos though. That looks very promising! All in all, I spent only $2.50. That's cheaper, albeit not less fattening than a single serve froyo. If I lived nearby I'd be here all the time. read more

my mom would get food from here every weekend and its the best place to get bread out of all places they know how to cook the bread and i enjoy the tortas as its very yummy in my tummy read more

From the long line of construction workers waiting to pay to the lady over the counter taking torta requests, this place felt a lot like home in Los Angeles. I've just started my search for the best conchas in the DMV and La Flor de Puebla has shown a strong start. The conchas are decently delicious and fresh. I ordered over thirty for an event and the taste and freshness was consistent. I did venture into other pan dulces and I could not say the same, hence 4 stars. But also because the concha itself, although good, was not perfect. You know, a perfect concha with dough that's well seasoned with canela and a cookie/sugar crust that just melts in your mouth in every bite. Nevertheless, the selection of bread in this locál has a good balanced (although I did not see any elotes, which is a must for any Latinx bakery in my opinion). I'll definitely return to try one of those tortas and maybe another concha, too. read more

I am not the biggest fan of dulces but I stopped by and wasn't disappointed. Tried their quesadilla and it was pretty good. In fact everything was pretty good and not expensive either.

La Flor De Puebla Bakery - I was sad because my churro broke. :-( - Bakeries Near Me - Riverdale, Maryland

La Flor de Puebla is a Mexican bakery that has several locations in the DC metro area. They offer various cakes, breads, pastries, and even an option to do custom-order cakes. There are also balloons, some snacks (chips up at the front), as well as some drinks (like smoothies and fruit drinks). The hubs and I stopped by, as we were in the area, and decided to check them out to grab some desserts to-go. When you walk in, you grab a tray from the pile by the cashier with a pair of tongs - I suggest in you requesting a piece of parchment paper to lay your selections on (as I don't like the idea of just laying the pastries on the tray itself!). There is a glass case with trays of a variety of pastries, as well as baker's racks of freshly-prepared breads set in the middle of the bakery. The place is small, so maneuvering around the racks and the patrons is an art :P We tried out some of their sugar cookies, a pastry pan filled with custard cream, and a layered dessert with some jam filling within. They tasted pretty okay, not too sweet, and fresh. Once you're done with your selections, you just stand in line and the cashier will wrap these up for you (they do take card as well). Just note that this bakery is a to-go only, as there are no seats. +fresh, Mexican cakes, breads, and pastries +individual tray-and-tong service +friendly staff +takes CC read more

This bakery is one of the reasons I moved to Riverdale.. well not really but it's great that it's only only 5 minutes from my house. They bake the best authentic mexican sweet bread in the area hands down! There are many imitators creeping up in the area but they don't compare. La Flor bakes their bread fresh each morning and evening, it's inexpensive (between 35cents to $1.00 depending on the type) rule of thumb is that any sweet bread which contains a filling of some sort (cheese, fruit, sweet cream) will cost more. Before I forget my favorite breads there are the empanadas which are filled with a pineapple fruity-not-too-sweet filling, and the cuernos (croissant)! My boyfriend likes the sweeter cookies and anything powdered or drizzled in sugar. As others have said this place is self serve, and you shop with your eyes.. in other words if it looks good.. get it! But don't leave this place without trying the plain "bolillo" bread which is usually in the bins to the right of the front door..(usually 4 for 1 dollar) they are great for sandwiches or as dinner rolls. La Flor also serves up freshly made "Mexican Tortas" milanesa (breaded beef), chicken, and ham sandwiches that have oaxaca cheese, jalapenos, tomato, lettuce, and avocado for only about $4. You order them at the counter and they will toast them in their panini grill to order. They also sell tres leches cake by the slice which you order at the counter or you can order a full cake for any special event. I have purchased their tres leches cake several times (they have small, medium, and large) I purchased the medium and it ran me about $35-40 it had the most delicious fruit (strawberries, bananas, peaches, pineapple) and was gone in no time! They have a small refrigerated section where they sell some mexican staples like queso fresco, crema, flan, mixed Jarrito drinks flavored sodas like tamarind, tangerine, apple cider. They do accept credit cards and from what I can see they don't require a limit to charge which is awesome since you can usually walk away with a full bag of sweet bread to last you a week for under $10. read more

Love this place. Breads are delightful and in a pinch, I can grab a tres leches cake. Anytime my dad visits, he goes home with a bag full of pastries. read more

I normally love this panadería. It is extremely clean & has a variety of pan to buy. However, the customer service lately has been terrible. I came in today to make an order for a $130 cake and J***** was the worker assisting me and she had such a pompous and arrogant attitude. While explaining to her what I wanted she kept telling me "well hopefully this comes out well" since she wasn't the baker or decorater. Mind you, I came last year with the same amount of ideas for decoration and the young lady, whose name i forget, was extremely helpful that she even drew a picture so the bakers could understand my vision. I cancelled my order after being there for about 25 minutes and left highly disappointed. I attempted to call the customer service number posted at the cash register, and was unable to talk to a representative or leave a message. I would also like to add that this is not my first times leaving La Flor de Puebla after an interaction with J***** . The last time was while there was still a number of people who could enter due to the pandemic so figured her nasty attitude was due to that. Today , it was confirmed that her attitude is just extremely ugly and had discouraged a loyal customer from returning. read more

I always prefer coming to this bakery for my pan frances (French bread) because 99% of the time the bread is sooo fresh and soft. Most of the pan Frances in other bakeries are too hard or stale, but not here. They also have variety of cakes, sweet bread, and even Mexican sandwiches (tortas). My fav place to come for fresh bread! read more

La Flor De Puebla Bakery - Front of store - Bakeries Near Me - Riverdale, Maryland

I decided to try this bakery on a whim to pick up some items for breakfast. When I walked in, no one greeted me but a few customers looked at me curiously. I was the only non-Spanish speaking person in there. Anyway, I looked around and noticed various breads and pastries in a glass case. I didn't know the process until a guy walked in, grabbed a tray and tongs and started grabbing items out of the cases. I followed suit. I selected three items and went up to the register to pay. It came to $2.97. I couldn't believe it. When I got home, I tried the two sweet treats. The pineapple one was my favorite. The other one was a bit dry in places. My mother said the croissant was kind of dry as well. But she made up for it by making a sandwich with egg and salmon with a little mustard. Overall, it wasn't a bad place. Customer service could be better. It appears as if they only cater to Hispanic people. The food is ok but not excellent. I probably wouldn't return. read more

I am coming back for more 3 leches cake! This is a Mexican bakery located in Kenilworth Avenue in Riverdale. After two attempt of ordering birthday cake from two different vendors I took a third and last chance to order a last minute cake which was for a surprise birthday party the same weekend. I ordered the cake Wednesday after 4pm and it was ready by Saturday before 3pm. The lady whom took care of my order was very, very helpful with my order. I showed her a picture of what I wanted, since I took the picture from their website but it was not an original picture from them. If you speak Spanish they will understand you better. I do not know if they offer cakes beside the 3 leches, I assume yes, but if you do ask go for regular milk no extra milk (extra soak), you don't want your cake to be soak than you can't keep it outside the fridge for too long. Not knowing the 3 leches cake was the birthday boy favorite cake and not only that, it was a hit, the talk of the night, asking who got the cake, from where I bought it. The cake in the picture feeds "80" people, but at the birthday party we serve chunks of cake and if you ask me it will feed "100" o maybe more depend on how much you serve. Beside the cakes, the store also has a variety of cakes ready to go, flan, run pope (soaked in Mexican rum), bread, and other pastries. To this you can have a sandwich, hot chocolate, coffee, water or soda if you like. Yes the store is clean and reasonable prices. read more

La Flor De Puebla Bakery - Tres (3) leches cake. Top and bottom same flavor, moist cake. It supposed to feed 80 people but this one you can easily feed 100. - Bakeries Near Me - Riverdale, Maryland

Yes. An immense selection of pastries. Everything I have tried is great. Only drawback is that some days it is not staffed by people who know enough English to explain what they are all. read more

Excellent service and the food was delicious. Definitely coming back. The food smelled so good I didn't even want to waist time taking a pic lol read more

Ok. This is hard. So.... I want to like this place. No, I want to LOVE this place. But I can't, yet. The lack of prices and labels is a little annoying, but sure I can get over that. Here's my problem: The pastries are too big and there's not a good variety of sizes or shapes. The filling to dough ratio of the pastries is off as well. With some more variety in the offerings, I will likely become a frequent customer. But for now, I'll just pop in once in a while in hopes that they've added some new pastries or labels. read more

This place was nice, small, and homely. I liked the products that this bakery carried. For the few minutes we were there I enjoyed watching the ladies twist the fresh cheese. I took off 2 stars because one of the representatives was really rude. We just over heard her speaking English to another patron, so we figured good we know who to approach. My aunt greeted the representative, and asked her about a specific baked good, she looked away angry. My aunt thought she didn't hear, and then asked again, the lady continued to ignored her. When we were paying, I asked the representative, what the ladies were doing (before I confirmed they were working with fresh cheese) she blew off my question and her co-worker answered. Maybe she was having a bad day, but don't show up to work, or don't work in the front. Plus imagine if she is making the food, all that negative energy goes in the food. The bake goods were awesome, can't say the same about customer service. read more

I have never been a fan of Mexican bakeries of a whole. I have always felt as a whole, Mexican baked goods to be rather dense: conchas, polvorones, orejas, sweet empanadas. The bread here is cheap. Most items cost less than a 75 cents. The 4 stars is wholly because of their torta. It used to be $4, I believe it is $5 now. They make it fresh on-the-go, fresh-to-go for you college students who live in Riverdale. It is a simple torta with ham, avocado, quesillo, tomato, refried black beans, but it is rather delicious. read more

Echo Francisco -- 100% Mexican Bakery -- All the favorites, including Roscas. I would add this is a great place to practice your latent Spanish....Don't be shy, just polite, the rest will be appreciated. You don't have to speak Spanish, but you'll get the double entendre of the name better if you have some capacity. For new comers--It's a self-service kind of place--as you'd find in Baja California at least. So grab a tray and some tongs--go to the case of your choice, and load it. Once you've got your sins on a platter, take it to the cashier to pay cash. The tell-tale sign is the parking lot...when it has plenty of workers' vans and locals autos in the AM. I suspect many families buy their household bread here rather than what comes from supermarket shelves. And don't be pre-prejudiced by the flavors in first bites. Nothing is overly, sickly sweet as you might find in a DD. read more

Man, what a great bakery! Made the trip out there to get a b-day cake for my daughter and left with a sack of sweets (cookies, pastries, etc.) Can't beat the price! read more

This place makes my heart sing and my waistline grow! It's a bakery, kind of old fashion in that you pick up a tray and some tongs and get whatever you want from the HUGE bakery doors. YES it is dirt cheap in here, most of the bakery items are $1! They also have sandwiches, which was not my thing, but hey everyone is different. They're traditional and made on a panini press. Was it good? Yes, Would I eat it again? No. They have cakes too, and I have yet to try any of those, so i can't speak to those. Plus I'm not a huge cake person. pay attention to find this little gem. It's in the shopping center on Kenilworth with the Dollar Tree, Post Office and Advance Auto Park HOWEVER it is in the corner on a strip by itself. The strip with the Dollar tree, etc. is BEHIND this place. Also, don't get discouraged if the line is long, the cashier move REALLY REALLY fast read more

The real deal. This Mexican style bakery has someone in the back who really knows how to bake with the flavors of their country. You go in grab a tray and tongs and start picking what your heart desires. Go back to the counter with your collection of sweet treats, she adds it all up and surprises you with a very reasonable price for the quality and taste of fresh pastries. They display a wide selection of colorful pastries. It's clean and user-friendly. The bakery is part of a strip mall so parking is easy. I'll go back. read more

Definitely authentic Mexican joint. A whole variety of pastries. We got the sweet bread (not bad) and a couple other of items. The torta ham sandwich was awesome!!!. They come premade but they put it on a panini grill so it's warm and toast. PROS- Variety of pastries and drinks. Clean and simple display. Sandwiches are delicous and reasonable prices. CONS - No listed prices for pastries or drinks. No label for the different types of offerings. I don't even see an asvertisement for their tortas. Definitely worth a drop in. read more

This is a Latin bakery. Period. I think they have one type of bread, and a lot of Latin pastries, and really pretty (and tasty) tres leches cakes that are perfect for a party. They will also make "tortas" which are ham sandwiches on a pan frances (like super soft hoagie/panini) with mayo, lettuce, tomato, some veggies, jalapenos, some mozz-type cheese, and a smear of refried beans, and heated in a sandwich grill. It's tasty and costs about $6. The people are nice and don't speak much English. So if you don't speak Spanish just figure it out, it's pretty inexpensive. read more

they only speak spanish so i was a bit lost when i came in. but with enough motioning of the hands and pointing, they gave me a tray and a pair of tongs. that's all i needed. the pastries are piled on top of one another in glass cases and i stood there for a good while just trying to decide which one to attack first. oh, and also theres no descriptions or anything so you won't know exactly what you're getting. well i grabbed five sizable pastries with my tongs and had to be careful to balance them on the tray so i wouldnt drop one on the floor while picking one from the case. my total was only five bucks!!!! what in the hell??! so freakin cheap. and i fed a group of thirty-five students with just 5$! yum yum yum. will never know what they were exactly but we didn't care. read more

Fresh baked mexican bread..... Oh man is this place trouble, lol. My central americans can probably relate. It is so hard to stop eating fresh baked warm pan frances! It has just the right crunch and softness and can compliment anything from a dish to hot chocolate. Mmmm you could smell the greatness as you pull into the parking lot. I decided to venture here after hearing how authentic and great the bread was and my friend was in need of some pan frances for sandwiches de pollo. Since we were in Md 4 miles away I was like lets go! (furthermore, the bead was .35¢ a piece versus va where she was gonna pay .40¢a piece) We walk in and go straight for the display to see the goodies. It seemed like we arrived just in time! They rolled out mass trays of fresh baked bread. I kept seeing people walking around with trays and tongs so I asked where to get those and apparently those were right at the door. Like if you don't look down to the right as you come in, you will soo miss it. I will admit it was hard not to stack your tray high with all the goodies! The no price listed thing didn't phase me. It's a mexican bakery so it had to be economically priced; everybody and their momma was in there- just as soon as that bread came out it was gone :-). I spent $5 and walked out with 6 pan frances and 5 pastries, I'm not complaining. The staff is really nice. I asked all sorts of questions and they responded with a smile. They'll break down prices for you too, so don't fret my foodie. Can't wait to come back and try the other goodies esp their ham sandwich! read more

I had the most delicious torti today . Sorry no pictures because I ate it too fast. Cannot wait to try the others; I had the chicken Torti. read more

Not the worst , not the best either.. their bread gets stale after a single day even when placed in a plastic bag. Too expensive for the quality read more

Not sure if I'm just stuck up or if this place is highly overrated. Located in a spacious (as in, missing tumbleweeds) shopping center in the middle of nowhere really, make sure you enter through the front door. I made the mistake of GPS-ing this address without dragging the little google man through street view. Turns out 6300 Kenilworth is the address of the entire long building, that ends with an auto shop with letters missing. Be sure you enter from the front, because there is a side entrance that leads not to the bakery, but a surprised Boost Mobile reseller who most certainly does not provide bread. Assuming you found the entrance, the bakery itself is clean enough. Grab a pair of tongs and a tray, and begin to grab goodies. If it's pan frances you want, they don't have it in the display case - rather, they've actually made a gigantic box for it over by the tongs and trays. The box is huge enough to place several misbehaving small children. People really seem to love this bulk bread - I saw several customers buying enough to put Costco out of business. Now onto the sweet bread - definitely a lot to chose from! I'm not Mexican and I have no idea what everything actually was called, but they have everything from donut-looking things to powdered-cream-filled-dough-balls-with-squiggly-black-lines-drawn-on. At a dollar a pop, and for pretty large breads, you can seriously go wild. Not that there was any price label on anything - I suppose it's like bread roulette; you just put stuff on your tray and hope you brought enough money to pay for it. Now, to the cakes. They sell cake by the slice (a very generous slice, enough for probably 2 people), and in varying sizes. Their cake is the reason why I can't take this place seriously. I didn't order a custom cake, and simply came in hoping to be able to buy a premade cake that would taste better and be fresher than something I could get at Safeway. I regretted my booji thinking immediately after buying the cake. Their SMALLEST cake was a whopping $25. No, not a fancy one with ganache or anything either. Just a small fruit flan cake enough for 6-8 people. So you might be saying - it's a bakery cake; you naturally will pay more for fresher ingredients and better quality/taste. See, I'd be fine if that were true - except it definitely wasn't. The fruit on the cake was from a can - this place wouldn't even take the time to use fresh fruit. The pineapples were white and transparent on the edges. The peaches had apparently been in the can a long time - they literally dissolved in my mouth, and not in a good way. I won't say the cake was terrible, because I simply could not say that about cake unless it was a cake made of poop. However, I would highly recommend against buying cake here - it's overpriced and nothing special. You'd get fresher cake with better ingredients at a grocery store bakery. I actually felt ashamed for presenting this cake at a birthday party. Next time I'm definitely sticking to Costco/Safeway/Giant. Verdict? Bread is reasonably priced and tastes as good as it looks (so use that as a measure of what to get). Cake is a disgrace. Staff seemed a little taken aback as to what Asians were doing in their bakery, but they weren't rude or anything about it. They just didn't talk to me. read more

Needed a cake in a hurry. Stopped in and bought one and everybody loved it.

Great food,good tasted on Flan cakes & of course bread.. Overall is great ... friendly staff ;-)

This bakery is so cheap and so good. The stuff they sell isn't overly sugary sweet like most American bakeries and it tastes a lot better. If you go, since you basically have no idea what you are buying most of the time, I have two must-buy items: Oaxacan cheese they have in the fridge and the raisin pound cake they sell in large slices. Everytime I go, I get at least 6 of the giant slices because they are to die for! And the cheese... yeah, it's good. read more

The pastel de tres leches here is simply fantastic, with many different kinds of fillings to choose from and sold by the slice. The place usually has pan dulce, of different shapes, sizes, and varieties, on half of its shelves. The bare shelves are less than pleasing. I'm looking forward to ordering a multi-tiered Mexican-esque cake from here for my 30th birthday party! read more

This is perhaps the best traditional panaderia (traditional latin bakery) in the Baltimore/DC metro area, they have a good selection of baked goods, excellent prices and high quality (although La Espiga de Oro in Laurel is closer to my current job, and also has high quality, their selection is not as diverse). There is no seating at this location. I visited another nearby location, but this one was close to my work location and I went here frequently. My wife, who lived in Mexico agrees that the quality here is very good. Their sweet baked goods are not over sugared, well made and traditional. They sell tortas in the mornings, but I go for the baked goods when I'm in the area. We had a wonderful pastel de las leches (traditional Latin cake moistened in sweetened milk) ordered for a Birthday from here, and have enjoyed the conchas (sweet rolls with a sugared top), orejas de elefante (elephant ears, aka palmiers), cream filled horns, churros, donuts, etc. As mentioned it is a self serve restaurant, so you should grab a pair of tongs and a tray when you enter, put your selections on your tray (unless you are ordering a cake). I advise arriving in the morning, the goods sell quick, and selection is less later in the day, in fact it if you want their churros, you may need to be an early bird. read more

Update on the tortas - the milanesa de res and the pollo seem to be weekend only food. You also have to get there pretty early to snag one for lunch as they go fast. read more
