Staff were professional, but interactions were not particularly warm and welcoming, which is why they received 3 stars. We got 2 cinnamon buns, a Boston cream, a glazed donut, and cheese-and-caramel mix popcorn. Donuts were soft and fresh, but hubby didn't care for the popcorn. Despite the lack of customer service, this is a great neighborhood bakery.

Has lots to choose from. They have more of a Mexican influence but they can make many types of pastries. Came here in the morning and got stuff that was freshly baked. It's kind of a small place that has a counter. They take a lot of custom orders. A popular place around here to get cakes. Popular whether for things like birthdays or weddings, they'll make it for you. A lot of amazing examples. They also have a lot simpler items like breads and cookies you can just pop in and get. It's about $6 to get a big loaf that's freshly baked. The pastries include cannoli and other classics as well as classic Mexican ones like panaderia and that kind of stuff. Great stuff especially when it's fresh. It's closed Sundays. This is among the several bakeries on Western.

I tried to purchase a refund, but the owner refused to issue a refund. I didn't want to ask to place another order because the owner was sweeping the floor when I came into the restaurant and taking a phone call with gloves on while I was looking around the store at the beautiful undercooked bakery pastries a customer walked in while she was on the phone and she served the customer after the call in dirty gloves. I will never go to this place again this is not the way to run a business if help is needed hire help. I would give no stars if I can. The only excuse she tried to use was the bread dough comes only one time in the morning which doesn't explain why I was given old pastries when I placed my order in advance.

Even though there's not much vegan or even vegetarian friendly, it can make for some good stuff at an event. They also have cheap prices. Came in while checking out other things around here. It's a small place. There's the entrance and then the counter is almost there. I chose a few of these pineapple empanadas. It's $0.59 each if you can believe it. They have a few of these so called dessert empanadas if you're looking for something interesting, or put in a custom order. Happy to report my guests liked these empanadas. It seems they would like more. Then I told them where to get these.
