Great selection of pan dulce and other baked goods at affordable prices. Their conchas and empanadas de piña are delicious and my go-to order. Don't overlook the cinnamon egg tarts in the fridge either, a wonderful sweet treat and I don't know where else you can get something that's like that! read more

Believe the reviews, but not the ratings. Go to Panchita's Bakery for panes dulces, panes finos, feites, roscas and panes de muerto. Don't go for bread. And if the people behind the counter and in the kitchen aren't cheerful enough for you, get there earlier in the day; they'll meet you at 5 a.m. read more

Always on the hunt for good fresh pan dulce and we stumbled upon Panchitas Bakery. Upon walking in, it is a little underwhelming for those looking for Instagram worthy pictures, but the baked good are delicious. You grab a tray and tongs next to the counter and help yourself. We got some concha, cuernos, fruit empanadas and a few cookies. Everything was reasonably priced and super fresh. What it lacks in ambiance it makes up for in deliciousness. read more

Panchitas Bakery - An assortment of yumminess - Bakeries Near Me - San Diego, California

The guy at the register must not be a morning person or really hates his job there, the bread tastes like it's a day or more old. I've always been to Panchita's on Golden Hills and today I changed to this location... Bad idea, never again coming here for my morning Pan. read more

Back in the old days you could go inside and wander about breathing the fresh baked goodness. Now you just get a whiff through the window. I guess it's better as you don't have to worry about people touching and breathing on the treats. I had a good feeling as I watched the bakery lady package up my pan de muertos from the oven rack. It was still warm and the scent of anise filled the car. Sugar was sprinkled on the outside adding a bit of sweetness. The thin outside layer had a little crunch while the inside was delicate and fluffy a bit like a cinnamon roll. I loved the flavor of this yeast based bread which had some sweetness and anise flavor. This is the best pan de muertos I've had as I got lucky and was able to get it fresh out of the oven. Other years it's been sitting around for awhile and the flavors and aroma were not as vivid. Pan de muertos is only available starting the week before Día de los Muertos. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Day_of_the_Dead This year it's Nov 1 -2. It is a celebration to pay respects to friends and family who have died. Panchitas appears to be baking it fresh at 2pm each day. I'll be returning before November 2 so I can do more celebrating. read more

Coworker brought in sweets from Panchitas and I sampled everything so I can write a review for onlookers. 4/5 chocolate sponge roll with shredded coconut: This was my favorite of them all. I'm not sure why the filling is red, but it tastes like chocolate. I like the soft sponge cake and texture of the shredded coconut. 3.75/5 chocolate chip cookie: literally a cookie with sweet chocolate chips. I prefer my chips integrated. 3/5 Apple filled empanada: the filling was a bit lackluster for me. read more

Panchitas Bakery - Pastries - Bakeries Near Me - San Diego, California

Everytime I come here, I am met with disappointment. They never have bilillos. it's really annoying.

I don't know if all the Panchitas are under the same brand/ownership but this place is upsetting. The bread was not bad but what makes this a 1 star review is the service and the arroz con leche First the young man seemed annoyed that he was there and actually had to help a customer. So what. Ok. But when my sister in law tried the arroz come leche she spat it out right away. It was rancid. It has gone bad. They need to do regular quality control checks and make sure things stay fresh. Not that it matters, but we won't be back. read more

all tools are extremely dirty and are not cleaned throughout the day. all tongs and plates were crusted in chocolate, cream and crumbs and the rude cashier told me they were all clean. had to ask him if he had a sink to wash them off genuinely don't even get me started on that service....whew. read more

Ive been coming here ever since my dad first brought me, I love this panadería! Everything is so fresh and warm and I recommend it to all my family and friends read more

3 stars my butt. I just grabbed a chocolate donut & omg probably best I've ever had. Literally just found this place walking the area. I told my man to grab me something every time he passes now lol. Lady inside really sweet.. read more

cashier was very rude when my husband called to ask if there was still teleras. when my husband went in the bakery the guy did not greet him or say welcome. all he said was "$9" when my husband was being charged. very very rude. recommend the golden hills location way better and way more nice and welcoming!! read more

We visited on a Sunday afternoon. We are big fans of Panchitas on 32nd St in North Park. We expected the same quality and service from this bakery as well. unfortunately that was not the case. The gentleman that was tending the store was rude and unprofessional. Not once did he make eye contact or even bother to look our way. His apron was filthy and he was sweating profusely. We also noticed 2 fly's inside the bread displays. The bread was tasteless. We ended up tossing it. Very disappointed. read more

We went inside and no one greeted us.there was only a little of bread left and there was a fly on the bread. Very unsanitary!!!!!

I would never go here again. It was a roach on the wall and I got discussed and demand a refund. They gave me attitude and told me they wouldn't give me a refund back.. It was so many flies on some of the pastries. BUT FUCK THIS PLACE read more

I love Panchitas! I work a block away from this location and every time I need some sweets for a meeting I go and pick up a variety of things from Panchitas. When you enter, go over to the counter and grab a tray and tongs. Everything in the display cases is clearly labeled with (exceptionally reasonable, even dirt cheap) prices, and there is an amazing variety of things to choose from. My favorites are the brownie with walnuts and the churros. YUM! Beware that it is cash only and the staff speaks very limited English. It's not a problem because you just hand them your tray and they'll ring you up! The last time I was there, I got cookies and pastries for about 15 people and it only cost me $7. read more

I'm not sure what it's called, but they have slices of this pastry that has pieces of guava in it and a crispy topping-it is absolutely DELICIOUS! (a really good accompaniment to a nice cup of tea) I haven't tried much else from here because I always go in for this and: 1) I don't want to feel like a fat ass knowing that: 2) I usually devour everything once I get it home! read more

I love this bakery and always stop in whenever I am getting food next door at Tom's BBQ. The first time I tried Panchitas, I did not know to pick up a tray and tongs and make my selection. They have so many goodies here and it's inexpensive. There are cookies, muffins, pastries, cakes, cheesecakes, and bolillos. I am not a fan of the conchas or mantecados. Parking is kind of tricky, it's a small lot. Street parking on University is not a great idea but that may be your only other option. This place is my Sunday morning ritual. I usually get: 1. Churros - a few times I had the chance to get freshly made churros that were warm, delicious, and filled with caramel. 2. Corn muffins - I think that is what they are. They just taste great. Not too sweet and not dry like some bread can be. 3. Gingerbread cookies shaped like pigs. I think it's gingerbread. They are kind of dry but the taste of the gingerbread reminds me of a fond time in my life. 4. Empanadas and any fruit topped/filled pastry. 5. Cakes - if it has coconut, nuts, or cream filled we will try it and love it. read more

Ah, pan dulce. It's better in Mexico than in San Diego. But the 4 or 5 Panchitas in San Diego are all good places to grab a pastry. Bolillos are the greatest. read more

I'm not sure why this place has 1-2 star reviews, but I strongly disagree. It's a pretty traditional panadería, it has fresh bread every morning and they bake some of the things more than once a day. So everything is pretty fresh most of the time. I do the sponge test, of the bread is squishy then it's fresh, if it's hard then don't take it!! They also offer hot chocolate and coffee. It is CASH only so don't forget to bring your money!! read more

After driving through an anti-war rally that was occurring a block away, a group of us made it to the bakery. Once we safely made it inside, we were immediately struck by the distinctive spell of fresh baked pastries. As we went into sensory overload, someone suggested the easiest thing to do was to grab a couple of trays and fill them up with different items. I can't begin to tell you the names of everything we tried but nothing was bad and some were surprisingly good. I have had Mexican pastries before but I think this may have been my first time in an actual bakery. You would not believe how much stuff we got for $10. It was not very conducive to eating there as we basically just all stood around, trying not to drop too many crumbs on the ground but I would certainly go back to pick up some treats. The only downsides to this place was that they don't speak English and there is no place to eat there. read more

Drove by after dinner looking for a tres leches cake for dessert. I didn't even know this place was here, found it just by chance. The store was pretty clean for the area and the lady working was very friendly. She didn't speak English, but that wasn't a problem. She was helpful and the cake was pretty good. Will come by and try more things in the future. read more

Stepped into the hood for a bit, I think you have to have grown up with pan dulce to like this place. You grab a round metal tray up front, along with some tongs, and pick out the different pastries/breads that catch your eye. Most are marked with the price, and some are marked with what's inside, but most I guess you should just be familiar with. There are croissants, cookies, breads of all sorts. I just picked a few out to taste. It's maaad cheap and you get bang for your buck. This review is really just for the cookies, croissants, and breads. I really didn't enjoy any of it! I felt like the breads were dry and something you eat that's a week old. I probably missed out on the cake apparently! That's probably what I should have ordered. But I won't be back for the self-service pastries. read more

There is a problem with the freshness of their baked goods. Last week I bought several pieces and I found them mostly on the dry side. One empanada, which I took from the case near the register, turned out to have mold! My advice is to go here only if it's convenient and check the bread before paying. If you can drive over to the Panchitas on Golden Hill you will find a bigger selection and fresher stuff. read more

Like the panchita pastry served in the morning! Other faves tres leches , muffin and bread pudding Ice cream has variety off flavores! Convenient location and friendly staff read more

I was really craving some pan dulce but it was late and every other bakery had just closed... but this place stays open until 9:30! It was a small place but they had some of my favorites and lots of milk in case I needed some more. read more

This bakery has been here for a long time, so it's old and needing a remodel. If they had good pastries, I would still come here, but I was disappointed because the pastries were heavy, chalky, and tasted like dry flour mixed with sugar. read more

I went there to satisfy the craving of a chocolate concha. The bread was hard as rock! I will not be back. Panchita's at C st is way better.

I called the number given to ask if they make brownie cake and the person who answered only spoke Spanish....I didnt know I moved to Mexico!!!! REALLY!!!!!! Losts of business lost here!!!!! read more

I absolutely love this place. since our visit to mexico city, we have been on the hunt for a good mexican bakery and here it is!!!!! It's best to go as early as you can to get it as fresh as you can but even at noon everything is still delicious and best warmed up a little. Their tres leche cake is out of this world!!!! read more

The best Bakery Store I've ever been in my life! Tehy used to buy bakery the one in 25th street but My parents always brings pan dulce on the weekends because its closer before they leave to TJ. (I guess they buy 2 dozen of them). Once day I went by myself, there were a lot of choices to choose. I choose cheesecakes, empanadas, conchas, churros and all the good stuff before studying for midterms. Make sure to be there around 5am and 3pm because they more around those times. If not they run out fast. Highly recommend this place. read more

After grabbing some takeout next door at Tom's bbw, we tried a bunch of pastries. I can't remember all of them, but they were good and reasonably priced. I've had mexican baked goods in LA, and they are just as good. I like that they are not super sweet and that there is a huge variety. They only take cash so we couldn't get one of everything like I wanted.... read more

The day I went in the coffee machine was overflowing there was coffee all over the counter in the floor. This Place Smells just a little bit like poop. I did spot a couple of flies in the bread containers. On something that look like a cockroach not too sure if that's what it was but it was a bug crawling on the wall. The people don't really speak English or so they pretend not to speak English when I said something about the bug. It's a shame cuz their bread is good but never again if there's bugs and flies in the front... I can imagine the back kitchen... read more

Its soooo bad that this place is close by my work! I love the jalapeno cream cheese bread. It is so damn good, I am seriously hooked.

Pretty standard panaderia offerings. I am constantly searching for a bakery that has Guadalajara style bolillos (hard on the outside, soft on the inside) but have not had much luck. So far, Panchitas is the closest I have found. It is in a bit of a shady area and they only take cash, but I enjoy their sweet bread more than the baked goods at Pancho Villas. read more

When their today and I got the Mexican wedding cookies (white cookie with powderrd sugar) and a variety of others! So delicious! I've been coming here for 10 years and I'm hooked. Only sad part was it seemed like they didn't have much of a selection :( no puerquitos or orejas. Hopefully they add a little bit more of a variety. read more

We tried 4 items including the flan. None of it was bad, but we've certainly had better.

The bread is too hard some days, and they sell it as if they made it that morning. The cashier is mean and looks miserable. My daughter came in with her small puppy, just to help me with my bag and she kicked her out. read more

Highly recommend this bakery for anyone especially for any cakes good customer service
