what'll it be?
John O.

This is the best panaderia I've found in Long Beach. I love that they have little smaller sized pieces of pan dulce that you can purchase here instead of the standard size. That way you can try all your favorites.......yes.......I'm a kid again every time I visit a panaderia. I've tried everything here and there isn't anything that isn't good. Everything is really fresh in the morning. Prices are very good in an economy that's seen a lot of inflation in the bread space :) Super clean, just remember to lock your car when you go in......not exactly the safest area.

Don't show up on Monday because basically there's nothing there. It's good don't get me wrong, but you are gonna pay a pretty price.

Monica's from the outside.

A staple in my household every time my sister comes over to visit from Long Beach. We always have Monica's pan dulce with cafecito on the weekends she comes over. And every single time my sister says, "The conchitas are fresh!" And ohhh man, they sure are! They offer pan dulce of all sorts and even cakes, and other pastries as well. I came by on a Sunday around 12ishpm and all of the display cases were filled with so many yummy breads it was hard to choose. I've had Monica's plenty of times but had never visited their storefront, even when I did live in LB so it was pretty cool to see where it all starts.

The quality of your bread is no longer there taste is horrible
Teresa O.

You shouldn't even get one star quality. The bread sucks. It's hard and no even tastes

Me looking for the cheese

The tamales used to be bomb kool amount of cheese and chile but now there getting stingy with how much they put in it I did this to look for the cheese just a piece the size of my pinky has more masa than anything

Loved their bread and the jalapeño cheese bread! It has been a couple months since i've had pan dulce and this just did me well. Don't reccomend their champurrado; didn't taste well.

Cake with no lid ( I had to pay an extra $3 for another box to create a makeshift lid)

I bought masa for tamales. They were so tasty. Masa gives them the delicious flavor. Will buy my masa every year from Monica's bakery

Their pan dulce is really good but their Tamales are super dry and full of masa and no meat. I do not recommend the tamales

I am helping my sister plan her son's 5th birthday party so I asked this company their pricing with an example photo. It was a little outside of our budget so I asked if we can get any sort of discount in which they replied. That is totally okay to not budge on your price but with that being said it is my right to get quotes elsewhere. They were very pushy and took it upon themselves to double text and say 1) they won't do business with me 2) they won't provide me with quotes 3) and saying I should go to a cheaper bakery 4) telling me "good bye" Furthermore when they first sent me a text starting they will not provide me any more quotes I understood as I am sure to not get an order for me was frustrating. So I replied saying sorry and that it wasn't up to me as it wasn't my money. However them further sending me another text that I should find a "cheaper cake, goodbye, we don't want your business" was VERY CHILDISH. I thought it was extremely uncalled for. I looked at the other reviews and see rudeness is apart of their pattern. From 3 years ago up until 19 days ago. Do better and speak to people professionally!

Honestly, if you want to get a slice of cake too, no one is stopping you from doing that either! We stopped by this location on the way to our friend's place to celebrate her birthday. Even though we arrived an hour before closing, they had all the cakes available, even as slices! We got the Vanilla Celebration Cake and the Carrot Cake (a slice each). We wanted to have options for the birthday girl. The employees were very pleasant and worked effortless. There was a steady pace of people coming in, so they were working well and making sure everyone got their items. Some people ordered in advanced, which is really helpful to make sure you get what you need. They also make sure to let you know how to serve the cakes, right on the boxes. It will say to serve it at room temperature or to serve it cold. Both our cakes were made with a buttercream topping, so both needed to be served at room temperature to make sure it's well-enjoyed. Both slices were beautifully made. I love the ratio of cake to buttercream, and it's not overly sweet. The Vanilla Celebration cake was a fan fav. If you like Carrot Cake, you have to try the one here as well! You can see the pieces of carrot in it and there's raisins too. A must visit spot for sure if you're looking for cake or cupcakes. I love it here!

I wanted a ordered a piece of Marble cake and when I got to the counter, I was informed that they are cashless. I didn't have my purse on me and didn't have another form of payment at that time. There was a Tall gentleman that was assisting me and when he saw I was in distress about another form of payment he said and I quote " It's on us today" I was like no I can't he said it's ok. I was so embarrassed, but he told me not to worry about it, Love this location and the customer service

It's a relatively small shop (as far as front-of-house -- it's seems like a lot of space is taken up by the kitchen and what I believe is the cake design meeting room). The employees aren't the most high energy, but they've always been kind, recognize my husband and I, and have even remembered my regular order a few times. My favorites are the almond croissant and the apple turnover, but their muffins and danishes are good too. We haven't bought a full size cake yet, but the mini cupcakes we've tried have been good! Moist cake and frosting with flavor, not just sugar. The fruit tarts and macarons are some of our favorite items to grab for dessert. A couple tips as regulars: * If you're wanting a specific pastry, come in within a couple hours of opening! The few times we've waited until after noon, they were out of our favorites. * They open at 8AM every day but are closed on Sundays and Mondays. This is why we always come on Saturdays or the occasional weekday morning.
