    LA PERLA MEXICAN BAKERY IS SIMPLY THE BEST. I've visited and tried many bakeries all over the great state of California. From Sacramento to San Diego. And I still haven't found a better tasting pan dulce bakery better than La Perla Mexican Bakery in Bakersfield Ca. Nobody does it better.

    Great selection of fresh daily baked pan dulce The lady that helped me was very friendly. Great efforts of sanitation for minimal contamination. Come early for better selection. I was there at noon on a Wednesday and the 2 people that follwed me in didn't read the sign. ‍ Doesn't bother me but if you put a sign on the door, you'd expect people would respect that. Might be an issue on a busy weekend morning, but not today.

They are f**king delicious. I finally had a real cannoli here, and WOW. You get to choose between the classic filling or a maple-butter filling... I did half-and-half because I needed to experience it all. Next time? I'm going full maple butter--no hesitation. You can even get the ends dipped in nuts, chocolate, and a few other toppings. They make it fun. I also tried the apple butter tart and--wow again. Rich, flavorful, and honestly you don't need much because it hits. Definitely shareable... if you're feeling generous. This place is a little gem. I'm genuinely grateful it exists. Prices are reasonable, and while customer service was kinda "there but not there," I didn't even care because I was laser-focused on my desserts to go. They do have a few tables if you want to sit and enjoy your treats inside. I'll be back soon to explore more and I'll update once I discover my next favorite thing.

So, I don't have a full gauge of what they have. I will say this for what I have had. I got their chocolate, toffee tarte and that was so good. It was so well balanced out. The cookie top paired so well with the luscious chocolate filling. Staff are also so helpful. They told me about the instagram page where they post about the pastries they have that morning. Once I figure out my sleep schedule, I'm going to make a point to try and get a box of their stuff!

I went twice to this location two days in a row because I enjoyed it so much. First with a friend and then I had to introduce it to my kids. The coffees and teas are delish and unique, as well as the smoothies and juices (I didn't try those but my kids loved them). We tried a variety of baked goods, the honeycomb bread is sooooo dang good! Filled with little pockets of cream cheese, drizzled with honey, and topped with toasted regular and black sesame seeds (I forgot to take a pic of this one, but I'll add it next time I go). We enjoyed all of the pastries we tried- not a crumb on our plates by the time we were finished! The decor is beautiful and unique. All of the employees super nice and helpful. You can ask them for descriptions or ask for a menu to see details and ingredients. They're open late too, so I think my next visit will be a GNO or a date with my hubby.

They also had free WiFi & since it's near the university, it's popping with college students working on their laptops. I absolutely love the variety of items to eat & drink! I got the Dubai chocolate, manakeesh, mint mango smoothie (seasonal for Ramadan, not a permanent item) & a Vimto refresher. I've never had Dubai chocolate before but I am STOKED I had it here for the first time. Perfect size, perfect crispy texture & powerful flavor. I love that the pistachio isn't overwhelming. The manakeesh is my all time favorite. Flatbread with white melted cheese & the perfect seasonings. It's embarrassing how quick I ate it. I can't savor it because it's THAT GOOD!! Only $3!!! The Vimto refresher is my absolute favorite new drink. It has sparkling water with berries. Chefs kiss. I know it's going to hit hard in the summer when I'm needing a cold drink. The mint mango smoothie is PHENOMENAL! The balance of mint & mango is just right. I hope they keep this item around. The service was also wonderful. Kind baristas that are knowledgeable & definitely hard workers! They are a very busy business & they handle it with ease. One thing I do not care for (but it will not affect negatively on my review) is credit card payments. Your subtotal they tell you after you order is only if you pay cash. If you pay card, it is atomically more because of credit card charges but they do not say that. It will also reflect an even higher amount on the screen because it automatically adds 20% gratuity to your credit card charge. So it goes from one price, to another, to another. I always tip but if it's not a restaurant, it will typically be 10%. Be aware of the charges when you go. I absolutely love this spot. I can't wait to try new drinks & food!

I ordered the strawberry cupcakes, chocolate cupcakes and lemon cupcakes with raspberry frosting and filled with raspberry filling. In my opinion they should give information on their website about all the flavors they can do or at least a few flavor idea suggestions, because when I called them to place my order I asked what flavors they offered and she had to name them off one by one and began struggling a bit to remember them all, so it was awkward, time consuming and harder for me to remember everything she was naming this way and just made it harder to decide which ones I wanted to go with... I ended up just randomly picking the first three I remembered her naming. Lol Good picks though ! So all the cupcakes were moist, creamy/velvety and delicious! The frostings were not overly sweet and I thought they were the perfect size too. My only complaint was that the toppings on the strawberry and lemon ones were candy, not a fan of candy and it kinda made them look like they were for kids and they were not. ( Noticed from others pic's that the lemon cupcakes usually have a raspberry on top...) Anyways, excellent prices, great service and delicious cupcakes! Would definitely try them again!
