I love Vanessa's! They have conchas for every season and I am always looking forward to their creative ways of celebrating all holidays ! From conchas, roscas , bolillos and all different kinds of pans ! They sell food items and drinks. The pan is kept behind glass and the panadería is clean. Service is sometimes friendly and most times not :) read more

Amazing conchas and other pan, and the shakes are just as good. Everything comes out fairly fresh. The service is sort of quick, it's not the fastest but not the slowest. The place seems pretty clean and they take sanitary procedures pretty seriously. I recommend. read more

Panaderia Vanessa - Bakeries Near Me - Oxnard, California

This place was pretty far in Oxnard for us coming from Ventura, but it was not a deal breaker. It is extremely tiny, and if you have never been to a panaderia, you might have zero idea what you're doing in there. When we went, nobody helped us, they just stared at us which wasn't super helpful. We only went to their shop based off of their social media and how amazing things looked. I had hoped that someone that put in that much effort to their social media, would put in some effort into their customer service, but that was not the case. There was quite a bit of pan options, and they were a lot of the normal ones you see or would expect to see. I didn't really see anything that was crazy or unique. We did get quite a few to try, and they were all tasty, but nothing exceptional. They also make tamales, which I was really excited about. The meat was very delicious, but they use way too much masa. It was actually mostly masa which was disappointing. Their drinks still do look really good, but I didn't want to try everything all at once. However, based off of the things I did try, I don't think I'll be back to try this. Even if they are really good. read more

Amazing sweet bread! The staff/owner are super helpful and kind!! Clean and abundant baked goods! read more

Went driving around in the morning looking for another panadaria because the one I originally got to was under renovation. I found this sweet place and the staff were really sweet. The conchitas were freshly baked for the day and were good. The ambiance is just like any bakery. There was one gal out helping those who needed assistance and the bakers were working in the back and prepping items to go out. read more

Panaderia Vanessa - Bakeries Near Me - Oxnard, California

Not the best panaderia in Oxnard. Every single pan dulce is WAY overpriced. 1 chocolate milk, one galleta Rosa, one concha was $9+!!! Ten bucks for two breads and a milk is INSANE!!! I'd rather give La Central my business. Never coming here again. Plus the cashiers just stand there looking. No hello, welcome, NADA. Purrs taradas ay nomas paradas como mensas. Weak panaderia. WEAK!!! read more

DO NOT buy from this panadería in Oxnard (Vanessas Panaderia) Yesterday was my first time buying from there, I bought a few conchas for my daughter and I. This morning we had our concha's and I bit into something hard. I immediately spit it out and it was a piece of metal!???? What if my daughter had my concha and injected this, or let alone myself. I spoke to the owner of the panadería and she responds with "I know exactly what that is" and says it's from an equipment that broke yesterday but they proceeded and kept the dough???! Top it off the concha's were hard. So I microwaved it for 15 secs not knowing there was a piece of metal in there!? read more

This time of year always make me excited to visit Panadería Vanessa. They make a delicious Día de Los Reyes rosca with a modern twist...it's filled with NUTELLA! The bread is soft, delicious, and flavorful. They offer the mini filled with Nutella (which is honestly still enough for at least 4 people) and a small or large filled with strawberry and cream cheese. For safety reasons, they give you a bag of mini plastic babies for you to put into the rosca yourself. It does take some of the fun away but we don't want a choking hazard so makes sense. As you can tell in the picture, we got too excited and cut into it before taking a picture. This is our second year getting our Nutella rosca from them for just my husband and I and we are just as pleased as the last. They make the ordering process very easy and accessible. I placed the order through their Instagram and paid through Venmo which made the pickup super easy. I was in and out quickly. Love that they use different outlets to reach their customers. They offer a variety of pan dulce year round where you can get your staple conchas, puerquitos, bolillos. They also sell custom order cakes, flan, and food items like tortas and menudo. I'll be sure to be back to try their other food soon. read more

Depends on your desires for the day. Personnel change frequently and some are more friendly than others.c

This place is unassuming but AMAZING!! Very clean and great customer service. And a surprisingly huge assortment of cookies, pan, pastries and desserts! They serve the pan for you. Don't worry that people have touched the pastries, trays and tongs. I saw on Instagram all of the amazing shakes and fun, trendy desserts they can make. Beautiful creations to make your friends jealous. And isn't that the point of tasty snacks?? Great quality pastries and quick, easy service. Can't be better!! read more

Panaderia Vanessa - Birthday treats! - Bakeries Near Me - Oxnard, California

I stumbled upon this little gem with a few friends. We heard whispers of this Nutella pizza (natapizza). I must say it was a delicious combination of fresh bananas and strawberries on top of a spongy bread smothered with Nutella! Yesss drool! It was plenty for three people. The slices were pretty large. The thing that knocks a star off of my visit was the fact that we walked in and waited eight minutes without even being acknowledged.. (They were making stuff in the back?) So we ventured to different places and a few hours later decided to came back and give this place one more shot.. We left happy. Enjoy! read more

The pan was great. Not the biggest fan on how they serve their bread. Seems unsanitary especially in the times of covid. Pick up a tray, place your bread in the tray with the tongs given to you. Ehhh I probably won't be coming back given that there's a few other places in Oxnard that practice better sanitary conditions. But to be clear, the bread was great! read more

Absolutely love their champurrado ! Not too sweet and not too thick! Yummy Plus the cashier gal is fluent in English and Spanish so it makes asking questions very easy! I wish they'd branch out to Camarillo, ca soon read more

Went back yesterday for some pan dulce and I guess it depends who is working on the kind of service you get and how much you pay. I've gone before and had a young girl working and she was super rude. And overcharged me!! But yesterday it was an older women and she was sweet as candy. And the concha dips weren't rock hard. And I'm glad to see they put up a sign with how much the concha dips and shakes cost. Now there will be no confusion when the younger girl tries to overcharge! read more

I just ate one of their tamales and it was so meaty and delicious! The best tamale I've had in a while and believe me I know good tamales having eaten them for the last seven years! read more

I've been going to this panaderia for years and they never disappoint. Today I went to buy some conchas and as I went to pay, a man came out from the back to tell me he was going to substitute all of them with fresh ones right out of the oven. Amazing!! He then proceeded to do the same to everyone else behind me in line. Now THAT is how you treat customers. Love this place! read more

Steer clear during Corona virus. THEY ARE NOT PRACTICING SAFE FOOD HANDLING. I went in gloved up and masked up to buy 4 tamales. They have a new plastic shield installed for their protection at the cash register. The cashier had on a mask and gloves. HOWEVER the girl making the tamales in the back, which you can clearly see, had her mask off her face and around her neck, no gloves on and I said to the cashier.. "No mask for her?" She replied.. "No she doesn't like to wear them". She took my $10.00 and I stood there watching her make tamales. No hair cover, no face cover no gloves. UM... NO... THANK.. YOU... The girl from the cash register goes in the back, and doesn't change her gloves from using the cash register and is touching food. WTH....I promptly told her I can't eat from their place. I asked for my $10 bucks back and left. The health department should do a drop in on this place. It really makes me think twice about eating out for pick up anywhere. read more

Very rude cashier! Do to covid I pay with Apple Pay wherever possible this is a location I use it at he said they do not do Apple Pay when he saw me take out my CC and said it be .50 more I realized I had cash so I paid cash and he still charged me the extra .50 did not care to argue I spoke minimal got my bread very fresh by the way and left. He was rude to the other customer there too so may have not been a good morning for the guy ‍ read more

Picked up one of the Nutella Pizzas, made out of a Gordita de nata, topped with Nutella, strawberries and banana. Was a bit disappointed with the actual Gordita de nata, you picture a fresh Gordita - hot off the comal, especially for $12. Overall it was just ok, but not worth the price. Maybe if the gorditas were made to order. Also bought a few pieces of pan dulce, a cochinito, concha and elote. They were all 1 out of 5. The only good flavor was the elote, but even then, it was not fresh. I don't think I'll be returning. read more

I've seen the bakery many times on my way to work. I decided to stop by this morning. I was impressed that the bakery has tamales, burritos, tortas among other items. I chose a concha. I was surprised that it was $2 - definitely over priced for what I got. I was disappointed. read more

Absolutely best pan I've had in years. I haven't tasted Mexican bread like this since I lived in Salinas! Fresh, soft, mouth watering! They also sell tamales. Cash only if you spend under $5. I will be back! read more

They're attention to service has really go es down. We pre-ordered 3 dozen bolillos with 24 hrs notice. And paid fir in full. When we arrived the next day at the scheduled time to pick up our order. They were sold out on bolillos & tried to play it off that they took our order wrong only for 2 dozen. Yet they took our payment for 3 dozen. Also it was clear they sold one of our dozen for their daily business. No shame or care for the integrity of their business. I grew up on their bread but as an adult my pick is Panadería Yaniras. Went to back them because my mother in law didn't realize how much Vanessa had changed aka gone down hill. read more

Anytime I have a work potluck I stop for some bread or tamales. My kids love coming here to get their pan with sprinkles.

If you want a late night bread n coffee never come here. The costumer service was terrible. The old grouchy lady is the problem. She needs to retire if she can't keep up and keep a good attitude. Quédese en la casa si ya no puede trabajar, vieja mula pachichi jaja. read more

I was debating using the 5, because this is the best panaderia I've been to so far, plus the only one I've seen that takes credit cards. I'd gotten a galetta, a mantecado, and a cream-filled pan fino. Everything was very good here, although none in a way that really makes me stop and make sure I didn't just transcend the space-time continuum. Their dough is generally soft, and their cinnamon laces on beautifully. The cream fillings have a great consistency that helps it add to but not overpower the rest of the pastry. The panaderias in Oxnard in a clear step up from the ones closer to me, but Vanessa is still a clear choice. read more

Was very disappointed was my first time coming here and the cashier was so rude cut me off and didn't give me time to finish ordering

I love this place! The people here are very friendly, the place is very clean. They have the best breads and I really love their pork tamales! A++++ Totally delicious! They also have a cooler with drinks and they make several other authentic Mexican food items. I want to try their Tortas! They look amazing! read more

Okay so I order 24 tamales and the price came out to be $72 :O. Total rip off, don't ever spend that much on tamales.

Over the weekend we decided to try this place out since their drinks look very good. We wanted to try the "Chocolate Abuelita" Thinking that we would get the exact drink that they were advertising on their wall menu...Which end up being false advertisement because we had to get our drink on a hot drink vending machine‍ At this point we decided to at lease give it a try but all that was coming out was water. The cashier ( which seem to be the owner cause the rest of the staff was receiving order from him) walks over and Starts hitting the side of the machine a couple of time and then said " there, should work know".Lol omg This same gentleman was give out the treys and tongs for bread as people were coming in. As we were trying to figure out what to order never did he sanitize any of these items (not the best idea). He was being pushy which I understand of there was other customers after us but there wasn't. By far Xielos has the best drinks. read more

Came all the way from Camarillo to try colorful conchas. They didn't have any available and I was disappointed. Maybe I'll give them another shot. Idk when since I live 30 mins away read more

This is the worst Mexican Bread we have ever bought! We got home and it was all hard and dry. Oh yeah, and $1.50 a piece...not worth it at all. They should be ashamed of themselves and on a Saturday morning it should be fresh for the weekend. The bread at Food 4 Less is way better, and it's a grocery store! read more
