I recently moved into this area and needed to find a locate bakery, Not only is there bread fresh but the cakes they do are good. And at a very reasonable price. The downside is that they only accept cash and they close at 3pm read more

If you're lucky enough to get there before they run out the stuffed bolios are what it's all about they have a jalapeño cheese hotdog and pepperoni stuffed one ham and cheese one and standard jalapeño and cream cheese good ole standby also their pecan (nuez) atole is tasty ... the pan dulce here's fresh and delicious but no seating it's a grab and go place where all kinds of goodness radiates read more

Coworker brought some tamales from here and I was able to try one. I didn't know what to expect when I opened it, but it was a chicharon tamale. The first bite had that fried charred pork effect, but the rest was kinda soft, because the skin went from crunchy to soft when cooked into the tamale. A bit odd, but damn delicious. Morenita got some spice, cause this baby was hot. Looking forward to checking out more food here. read more

This is the panadería we frequent the most, it's not out of this world but it's good! The pan de elote is a must try. They offer food items such as tortas and tamales but you need to go very early in the morning because they run out QUICK. Overall very solid place, only complaint is you never know what pans they'll have and the selection is low. They grab it for you unlike other places. read more

My coworker came to work with four dozen tamales from this place. They were amazingly good. I went back to purchase more myself, but I didn't know it was cash only.. that's the one thing that I feel is a downfall other than that place is good read more

Great place, love the environment . Great service !! Love the food and drinks. Very friendly

Amazing baking goods. The employees are very welcoming and very helpful. Definitely worth trying.

I came to get a pan Dulce. I did up choosing a cheese cake. It was dry old and no sweetness whatsoever. I'm very disappointed. I will never be back again. No bueno! read more

La Morenita Bakery - This cheesecake is very dry and has no flavor or sweeteners whatsoever. - Bakeries Near Me - El Monte, California

I just think there's better spots that sell conchitas, but it'll suffice if you need a quick breakfast and craving for it.

Visited this panaderia for the first time yesterday, I was recommended by a coworker. I was pleasantly surprised. It's pretty busy in the morning, so I was glad that there was still some pan dulce left. I also tried a cheese tamale. So good!! The conchas I purchased were super fresh and soft , the tamale was very flavorful. The staff was very friendly, especially Veronica the owners daughter. I appreciated the fast & friendly service and will definitely be back!! read more

One of the employees was deadass coughing a lung out when we got inside and said someone else would help us instead of helping us out herself. A homeless man was minding his business outside the bakery and so we got him some food...and as we're leaving, this same woman is literally telling the man to leave. This man was doing nothing wrong; for all we know he could be a former veteran or someone just going through hard times. Some people need to worry about how they present themselves and the cleanliness of their business instead of harassing others. read more

We used to come here a lot, but everyone started being on their diets. I finally came back today to get some pan for work because of the holidays. I got a bunch of freshly made pan and it was delicious. I want to come back for the tamales, champurrado, and atole one day. Everyone who worked there was friendly and so helpful. read more

Does Bakery sell Champurrado??? Ohhh my i bet they Do ???!!!! read more

The bread was good. The service is great. It's much smaller than expected with not as many options as I'd like. I would come back but I'm definitely looking for another bakery. read more

So I covered my bases by asking if they were going to be open on Christmas day, both ladies said yes until 3pm. So I placed an order. Here I am at 9am on Christmas and they are closed. They asked for my number, but for what?! No phone or text message to let me know that they were going to be closed. Poor customer service, management that doesn't know their own schedule and the lack of Business ethic to notify a customer if things change. I'll be back to get my money back and NEVER come back again. Next time place a sign so customer know what's going on Thanks for nothing La Morenita Bakery read more

Bread are average tasting but way over priced, Service is very friendly. The ambiance is ok and very small bakery no room too move.

These ladies make magic happen while the world is still tucked in bed! I got to the bakey at 4am New Years eve to make sure I got pick of the litter of their delightful tamales! I was happily served, at such a an early hour, and my tamales were served piping hot from the steamer! All the rest of their delectable items smelled delicious, I can't wait to go back and try something else! read more

La Morenita Bakery - Pan Mexicano!!! - Bakeries Near Me - El Monte, California

I went today to La Morentita Bakery to pick up some sweetbread for my family and received the absolute WORST customer service! An older woman about 5'3, brown hair, no facemask threatened to call the cops at me just because she overcharged me and I asked for a refund. She didn't let me know the price ahead of time so how would I be aware of the price? Whoever is the owner needs to train their employees better because this attitude and personality is not okay. It is not rocket science, if someone asks for a refund while the item is complete and unopened or uneaten its common sense to do a refund I didn't even open the bag either it was fresh inside why was it so difficult to give me a refund if I didnt even touch it? even on my bad days at work I give out positive attitude to everyone. But hey maybe cause im not miserable with myself. read more

Low selection of bread, closes too early, rude customer service, I bought a cup of Avena and it was cold. They were out of tamales.

If you want fresh warm conchitas for your next get together, La Morenita is the place to go! Always fresh and delicious! Just come early they sell out quick! read more

Best food and bread 10/10 recommended there avena is so good by the way and the Bolio for tortas it's so soft and their prices are the best

Due to social distancing this year my family didn't get together to make tamales. Being in my 9th month of pregnancy I was having an emotional craving for tamales and these did not disappoint. Do yourself a favor and get the champurrado too. We will definitely be back. read more

This place is Awesome!! they have the best tamales and champurado around! not to mention all the fresh tortas made to order. I would recommend you all to give it a try!! Art M. read more

I've waited too long to review my super favorite panadería!!! So I moved out here To the San Gabriel Valley 3 years ago and being Mexican a good panadería is a must!!! So I started looking at yelp and found this place! I am so pleased that I found them! I've been shopping for my bakery goods at this place for the past 3 years and will continue to support this awesome Business because they make delicious baked treats! They have tamales and bake cakes for all occasions and they really make the best pan dulce on the east side! Check them out and give them some love! read more

Nothing special. Super tiny business. When I went there was limited selection. Got 2 orejas/palmier, & a cuerno/horn and also a large champurrado. The champurrado ess so, so nothing special & my disappointment was the cuerno, it was filled with a lot of pieces of eggshells. I had to throw it away. I will never go there again. read more

Great tortas and conchas! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a legit bakery spot

This lil bakery has the best tamales, champurrado , pan Dulce & virotes it's like being in Mexico.....they are open super early 3 am to 3 pm Monday to Sat & 4am to 2pm on Sunday. I highly recommend this place put if you want tamales you got to get there early. The only bad thing is that they only take cash. read more

I'm going to keep this short love the bread period! They are small and exquisite El pan esta buenísimo!

Their pan dulce is really good, but their customer service is horrible. They have a very rude staff.

So this is the deal I made a order of 3 1/2 dozens for a important dinner I was going to have this Sunday.. so I received a call that one of the workers have give my order to someone else.. I guess they really don't check twice what they give to the customers.. so ok they call me saying that they can't redo my order anymore that they only had chicken tamales and some of the pork ones.. I ask if she could make it happen that I could go later and pick them up. she said they wouldn't be ready till tomorrow. It sucks because I was counting on them specially because I had talk so good about them.. it sucks because for been my first time making a order so my family and friends could try them they messed up my order at the last minute.. for them it's all good cuz they go home with no worries.. now I have to figure what I could do to take a good amount of food for my guest.. and all I hear from a young lady was sorry about that!!.. I mean it happens but I think they should make extra for when things like this happen.. I'm very disappointed that they didn't even try to resolve the problem because they said they were going to closed at 2 today.. but from everything the tamales a very good and tasty here next time I'll order them so they could have then a day or 2 before.. or if any of you guys do the same.. read more

La Morenita Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - El Monte, California

Great bakery! I have been coming here for years and there is not really anything I don't like Clean and family owned! They have the most delicious bread ranging from pan dulce, bolillo to miniature bread! They also serve hot drinks such as champurado, avena and chocolate. The tamales are like no other, they are absolutely delicious but they are often sold out by 9 AM! They really are delicious. Whenever there are no more tamales, I buy a torta instead and they have many different types. My personal favorite is probably the torta de chicharron. :) The cakes here are also really delicate and the employees are all very nice. Absolutely love that it's family owned and operated. Definitely my favorite bakery! :) read more

Talk about coming through! My son's bday was today 5/9... Guess what? I couldn't find a boy theme cake at any grocery bc all they had was "Happy Mother's Day" cakes. A loyal customer had already referred me to this bakery, and it delivered. It beyond delivered!! I was able to get in a same day order. Not only that... it beyond met my expectations. My son was delighted to see his favorite characters as a topper, and I am so thankful I went to the right place! Thank you so much for your help!! The cake was delicious and cool! read more

Caked with half pink and blue frosting and two little baby shoes ,their excuse was that they couldn't find the other decoration for the cake so they added a baby and a shoe and yellow all over it. It looked ridiculous I was very upset. read more
