Conchas, Elotes, empanadas y mas

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.

Bread is pretty good and doesn't get hard right away like from grocery stores. Good place to pick up some sweet Mexican bread.

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.

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 had no idea this locally owned coffee shop existed in Bakersfield until Yelp! There are even 3…read morelocations- one in downtown, on Panama Ln, and this one. 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.

Upon entry I was taken aback by the beautiful art that appears hand painted on the wall. It is beautiful! I wanted to get a feel for what Yemeni coffee is and how it differs from other regional coffees and I did not get that. We ordered a coffee and a matcha and I was able to try and enjoy both. I think it's good coffee and matcha I just didn't understand how their product differed from anything else. It's not bad and I would get it again but I didn't get a feel for the region. I remember when I tried Turkish coffee for the first time and the richness of flavor and strength, Salvadoran coffee and its rich aromatics, Palestinian and its rich nutty textures via spice, but here I was left wondering. Yes, this is a pistachio coffee, but what makes it different? I don't know. Yes, this is a pistachio matcha, but what made it different. Don't know. Good sure, but I can't really describe how it is unique. The baklava, certainly, provided this rich information. Compared to other baklavas it was drier and crunchier in a way that was satisfying and light. I would prefer to eat this baklava if I was watching my sugar and calories, which coincidently I currently am. Other baklavas are more decadent and syrup/sugar heavy. I was left with a want for more out of how light and delicious they are. I hope to try their cake offerings soon! Would return to continue trying their menu and would love to see a no straw option for the lid along with a more sustainable cup!

The lemon raspberry as well it has a tangy flavor and not that sweet as well. I just wished they're alil bigger lol. They also have a tall bday cake- Neapolitan flavor (as I've told), i wasn't able to take a pic. They also have other baked goods like brownies. Overall, i might visit again if I need a specialized cake order.

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!

Their other pastries are good, but you can't talk down a baddie. It is the instant crowd pleaser at any get together i go around with. Drinks themselves, like the Thai tea, are very sweet. So, for you sugar sensitive lovies, be mindful. Granted you are going to a bakery for sweets anyway, but drinks are the easiest way to drink tons of sugar. The decor is interesting. You have this red and white contrast of color, but then these really sleek wooden chairs. If they ever to another location, it would be interesting to see how they would do a laid back cafe. Overall. Sugar Twist is a local sweetheart business. They are great and i hope to see what else they plan to do!

I came in for the very first time to redeem my birthday freebie and was immediately impressed by how beautiful the shop was. The atmosphere felt so clean, cozy, and welcoming with such a fun vibe all around. As it started getting busy, the workers quickly organized everyone into a line which made the process smooth and efficient. Thankfully, I didn't have to wait long before it was my turn, and I had the pleasure of being helped by Brittany. She was absolutely lovely, super friendly, and incredibly helpful! I genuinely enjoyed chatting with her during my visit and really appreciated all of her recommendations. A1 customer service for sure -- she truly made the experience even better, so I definitely wanted to give her a special shoutout! Even though my visit was brief, I still enjoyed it so much and could already see myself coming back again. For my birthday freebie, I chose the carrot cake flavor and it was delicious! While I was there, I also picked up the cutest sparkler candle. They had so many adorable candles, packaging options, and little extras throughout the store that made everything feel extra festive and gift-worthy. Overall, I loved the vibes here and had such a positive first experience. Definitely looking forward to coming back one day for another sweet treat!

Frosting is great, cake is moist, and our party enjoyed it. Only gripe I really have is how expensive it is. Maybe a few dollars less and I would definitely consider getting it more often! Other than that, wonderful establishment and great service for sure.
