    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

    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

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

    Very horrible customer service ! Boxed up my cake with no lid and when I proceeded to ask for a lid they said they did not have any, both ladies were very unprofessional ! Then I went back to ask for another box to put on top to cover the cake so no debris would fall while on the ride back home and she charged me $3 for a box. Please do not come here

    Haven't tried the bread but the tamales and Champurrado I do not recommend. They are not good.

    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

    Amazing service!!! I sent photos and explained what I needed and let me tell you they executed it…read moreperfectly!!! Pricing was great especially for something so personal and custom made. The cake its self was delicious! With so many flavors it was definitely hard to choose from. I especially loved the delivery service made everything a breeze while I cooked for my party and didn't need to worry about picking up a cake. I see a lot of bad reviews about customer service but honestly it just sounded like a lot of back and forth with customers who weren't ready to spend money on something unique. Art is unique and not everyone can make something so special. (Mind you the cake was well under $200!) I know lots of places that charge for lots more that may have nice designs but not great tasting cake! I will order time and time again, I definitely recommend these wonderful people for ALL cake occasions.

    I never officially placed an order with this company but I am writing a review for the poor…read morecustomer service. 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!

    AMAZING! We ordered cookies for our daughter's first birthday party which was "Masters/Golf" theme…read moreand we couldn't be happier and amazed with the cookies. Mana is very talented- everyone at the party couldn't believe the detail and how perfect they were (and delicious). I think my jaw dropped when Mana delivered the cookies to be honest. I will definitely be ordering from Mana for all my future needs and highly recommend her. She was also so easy to work with, sweet and always responded quickly!

    小さい6つのケーキセットを2回ほど購入しました。…read moreもともとクリームなどがあんまり得意じゃなかったのですが、Manaさんのケーキは見た目から本当に可愛くて、思わずパクリ。 味も最高で、旦那と娘といつもじゃんけんでどれを取るか決めるくらい大好きです! 細部までこだわって丁寧に作られているのが伝わってきて、ただ美味しいだけじゃなくて、食べる時間そのものが楽しくなります I've purchased the 6 mini cake set twice. I'm usually not a big fan of cream, but Mana's cakes are so cute that I just had to try them. They taste amazing too -- my husband, daughter, and I always end up playing rock-paper-scissors to decide who gets which one! Each one is crafted with so much care and detail. It's not just delicious -- it turns snack time into a joyful experience.
