Super friendly folks and delicious pastries and tamales. We went in to get a cake for a party and the constant flow of people buying tamales convinced us to try them. Truly stellar. The cake was good, not great, but everything else was *****. read more

I really wanted to rate this place higher but this is my second visit and nothing really stands out here. They weigh the cookies and pastries so there's not a set price per item unless you're ordering a cake or something as far as I know. Their donuts are decent, not oily or too heavy and lightly covered in sugar. However, everything else seems to taste the exact same - and I bought 6 different pastries...some even tasted stale. read more

Bread is MOST DEFINITELY NOT fresh. Bread was hard and looked unappetizing. I felt obligated to buy something and I did buy conchas and pan blanco. Need to clean it up a bit. Still looking for an AUTHENTIC MEXICAN Panaderia, I just know this isn't it. read more

They have mostly cakes, pastries and other sweets. I was hoping for fresh baked bread which they had just a little of. I bought an apple turnover, it was OK. read more

Very good tacos. Excellent salsa and the chips are very good as well. Wish there was a better selection of drinks though.

Best Mexican bread I have found in the DMV. As recent transplant to the area from the Chicago area I have been struggling to find good Mexican spots. read more

Explicitly knowing by growing up with, enjoying them most of her life, and retaining the desire to acquire fine Mexican 'dulces' - baked goods are difficult to come by when seeking 'real' Mexican stuff. My wife and I travel the country considerably, and we rarely will find a place with the selection, product quality, taste and variety Panaderia El Molino (PEM) in Manassas offers. From the Great Northwest, to the Southwest and Southeast, few Mexican Bakeries can boast what PEM can! She is only glad that the bakery is not conveniently around the corner, as this way, she can keep it as an occaisional treat! Highly recommended if you're looking for the real thing. read more

Yeah. For those who have been following me from the very beginning, you know I have been looking for 3 things since leaving the New Jersey area. Good pizza (that delivers), good Chinese (that delivers), and a good bakery (that has good pastries). Winchester had 2 of the 3 (Chinese and a bakery, and even then that was in Charles Town, 30 minutes away), Manassas? So far, it was a woeful 0-fer, until I came across this place. It's literally a hole in the wall when you pass it by, and it never think much of it until you see the inside. It has a HUGE selection of pan dulce (sweet bread), cookies, donuts, and every other thing you could possibly imagine. All you have to do is take a pair of tongs, and put what you want in a bag. Everything then is weighed and there you have it, easy. As for the holding quality, the stuff I have found so far holds very well. Everything was still fresh days later and still had great tastes. Even the stuff with the fruit on the inside. I was very pleased with this. Churros, amongst fruit turnovers, and some cakes, were all very good and had excellent flavor and texture. I will conclude by saying I will definitely be back here. This was quite an experience that I did not expect, but glad as heck I did. read more

Very small, cramped space but packed full of hispanic baked goods. Huge chocolate chip cookies, donuts, pan dulces, quesadillas, everything you can imagine. You put all your baked goods in the provided paper sacks, the sack is weighed and priced accordingly. They require a $5 minimum for credit purchases. read more

This cool shop is awesome! Please don't let the small size fool you. This shop is busting with smells and choices of sweet breads, pastries and cakes including holiday specialities! I came here in January for "king bread" better known as Rosca de Reyes. I strongly suggest getting early or you will only have the large ones to choose ones but you'll still be very happy!! I have been looking for a local place for Pan de Muerto (dead bread) for days and came here and couldn't be happier. It was still warm!!! Melted in my mouth!! Que rico!! read more

Delicious and clean. Especially i like how clean their store and put away the product not to touch randomly.

Wonderful selection of Latin pastries. It zapped me back to my childhood crossing the border into Tijuana to hit up the local bakeries for some sweet treats! read more

Awesome!!!! We came on Sunday morning and were greeted by a waft of fresh baked sweet bread. Found racks of fresh out the oven Mexican bread being rolled out. Literally, everything was freshly baked. It's rare to find Mexican bread that isn't old and stale trying to be passed off as still good. Not here! This is a cute little panaderia, the lady at the register is like abuelita. She offered us samples of everything she had at the counter which enticed us to add to our purchase at the last second. Can't beat fresh baked, everything was delicious! read more

Great little shop! They have a huge variety of Mexican pastries, cookies AND tamales! These are not your standard sizes, everything seemed a little oversized-especially the pan de dulces. I am not sure how they charge for the pastries vs cookies, but she weighed them. The tamales are $2.50 each and there was three types - spicy green Chile chicken, Red Chile beef and I think one vegetarian. The tamales are HUGE! I bought a half dozen chicken and half dozen beef for a party. The chicken definitely had a kick and all I needed a side of beansfrom home! read more

Best pig cookies made of molasses, especially if u go early in the morning. Not that they r bad in the evening. Haven't tried cookies yet, but they look good. Will definitely go back read more

If you buy sliced bread from the supermarket, then stop reading right now. It doesn't matter if you get white bread or whole wheat or multi-grain or pumpernickel. If you eat that, then move along. You won't be interested in anything here, and you probably won't understand it. I'm studying Brazilian Portuguese. When you study a language, they also teach you about the culture. In Brazil they love bread. They love fresh bread. There is a bakery in every neighborhood, and the people know at what time the bread comes out of the oven. Sometimes people line up waiting. This place isn't Brazilian, but it's just that fresh bread still warm from the oven can't be beat. I used to buy sliced bread off the shelf at the supermarket thinking I was eating food. I even ate spinach from a can. My parents made me. I bought Thomas' bagels too thinking I was eating good food. Ya Basta! I say. Like the name suggests, this place is a bakery. They bake various types of fresh bread on the spot all day. They have some awesome sandwich rolls that are like heaven when they come out of the oven. You can go there or call and find out when they'll be baking a new batch so you can get it piping fresh. Or you can get what they have in their display case which is excellent too; it's just that nothing beats that right out of the oven fresh bread taste. And it's always stocked with good eats. They have sweet bread which is bread with a little bit of sugar mixture on the outside. Precious likes to dip that in her coffee. Why get bread and keep it in the bread box all week when you can just run down to this place? It's just around the corner. read more

the best tres leches served here - moist and tasty with fruits. quick and easy process of ordering with very fast turnover. cake was ready next morning. read more

The rolls are soooo good. They are about 8 inch white bread sandwich rolls. They are perfect for my homemade steak and cheese or my wife's panes con pollo. In the approximately 20 times I have been here, there has never been a time when there was not a plentiful amount available. My mom and dad ask me to bring them home to WV when I visit. I have tried just about every type of sweet bread they sell but what sticks out the most for me is the bread pudding. Just a little slice is so thick and heavy. It is perfectly baked sometimes with raisins and sometimes without. The glaze is almost caramel like and probably my favorite part. We also enjoy the tres leches cake. This has become most of our family members choice for a birthday cake. The milk is the perfect amount to make the cake beyond moist but somehow does not make it soggy. The cake is topped with a generous amount of fresh fruit and a very light and fluffy whipped icing. I hate sickening sweet sheet cake icing so this is perfect for me. My other favorite is at checkout to ask for an atol de elote. It tastes fresh and homemade. It is thin enough to drink, has pieces of fresh corn in it and just a touch of cinnamon. It goes great with any of the pieces of bread. read more

The best mexican style bakery I've found. Definitely recommend for anyone out there looking for some original mexican bread, pastries, etc.

I lived on the Texas border of Mexico for several years and have a few favorite sweet breads- I have to admit, I actually liked this better than the Mexican bakeries that were 2 miles from Mexico! Very authentic and delicious. They have trays cooling that guy an grab off of, too. Don't forget to grab tongs to pick your pan dulce out of the cases. read more

Yes Please!!! Not giving them a 4 or 5 simply because they don't have enough room in their bakery for their customer volume! The breads are all fresh and made daily, the sweet cakes they have are great! I am from a town in California with lots of little bakeries like this and after 5 years in Virginia I found a place that is just like back home! If you need something to dunk in your coffee then forget the same old everyday donuts and come here! If you need fresh bread for the most awesome sandwich you ever plan on making then come here for it fresh and warm out of the oven! But be ready to be should to shoulder with others who feel the same way about the bread! read more

I just had my first taste of El Molino Bakery, AWESOME! Please, come get sum, everything is so good, and they have TAMALES ahh, im goin crazy, its so good read more

My husband and I tried out this bakery for the first time this morning. It is a tiny space but they pack in all kinds of good pastries for you to choose from. We picked up a few cookies and sweet bread to have with our morning coffee. We didn't have a ton of interaction with the employees but the lady who checked us out was very helpful and polite. Everything we tried was delicious and we will definitely be back in the near future. read more

Salteñas super originals, classic Bolivian food 5 stars, make sure when you bite like suck the juice at the same time little tricky to eat them ha ha read more

Wonderful selection of panaderia. Try the tamales (Mexican style), if it's a holiday...order ahead! I continue to go back way too often.

I went here saturday 1/4/14 because my friend wanted a rosca de reyes, a traditional sweetbread for el dia de los reyes which is January 6, and although I didnt know what it was for really, she got it and it looked fresh and beautiful and alot better than the stuff in the spanish stores. I got some bolillos/pan frances and also some pan dulce for my boyfriend. The bolillos are AWESOME. not good, or "ok" but delicious, soft, fragrant and better than any freaking bread you get from giant or walmart! Now, I must say, if you are looking for sickening sweet dunkin donuts type donuts and such, you will have to move on. The bread here is traditional, not overly sweet, and a nice change from american style pastries. They also sell cakes here, meringue cookies, atol, and tamales. The meringues ( espumillas) looked good, and the cakes were lovely and decorated with fresh fruit. I will DEFINITELY be coming back here, and recomending this bakery to my friends. read more
