All it took was one concha. A coworker introduced me to this bakery three months ago with a single piece of pan dulce, and I was instantly hooked. Since then, I've gladly driven 20 minutes just to pick up their bread, it's that good. Their Mexican sweet bread is consistently fresh and flavorful; the crumb on that bread is impressive. I was so impressed that I ordered 45 conchas as a thank-you for celebrating with us gift for my son's wedding. They were a huge hit. Beyond the pan dulce, my husband and I have tried their burritos, carne asada, and carnitas, and everything has been absolutely delicious. We even ordered cabeza and lengua for my brothers, and they were just as impressed, especially with the flavor and the freshness of their flour tortillas. I also ordered a cake for a party and served it at the restaurant; it stole the show. It was so good that our waiter had a slice himself and asked where we bought it. From their bread and cakes to their savory dishes, this bakery consistently delivers quality and flavor. I highly recommend them. read more

The meat guy at Bocanegra Meat market next door told me to visit Spikes if I wanted some carne asada. They told me that they had the same owners. When I went in there, they told me they couldn't sell it by the pound, but, instead could sell me a taco or burrito. They told me that I could buy carnitas by the pound. I chose to try their carnitas. There's something that doesn't seem right about buying cooked meats from a bakery. Their carnitas was just okay. Nothing special. I've had better. My wife tried it and said that the Costco one is better. Not a fan of this place especially when the meat guy next door says it is available. Perhaps I should stick to the cakes when coming here. read more

Been here several times. Pan Dulce is always on point. Tamales, that's a different story. They used to be really good. I don't know if they changed the recipe but they're dry, barely any meat and lack the flavor they used to have. The service was ok this time. Inside is spacious, good variety of bread. read more

We love this bakery for pan dulce but wanted to try their cakes as well! Our first time was buying a chocolate frosting with white cake and strawberries inside and it was DELICIOUS! Seriously one of the best cakes we've ever had. So when another bday came up it was a no brainer to order again. I showed them a picture of a dodgers jersey cake we liked and they replicated it perfectly! Everyone loves this cake as well! This is now our go to cake shop! read more

Service today was not great. I come to Spike's often to buy their bread and for the most part, the staff is usually friendly and there are no issues. Today, however, the service was not great and my order was wrong even though I asked for clarification twice. I asked the cashier if they had the sweet corn tamales and he told me they did and asked how many I wanted. I asked for two corn tamales and two chicken tamales. Upon receiving the tamales, I noticed the wrapper was different and asked for clarification as to what he gave me - he said two pork and two chicken. I asked him for corn and he told me they didn't have any. Then, I asked him to switch out the two pork and give me all chicken tamales as I don't eat pork. I get home and find out I have 4 pork tamales. Thanks a lot. read more

Been wanting to come here for years after hearing so many people talk about this panadería! It's huge inside and there so many different kinds of pan dulce to choose from. The place is clean and tidy. They also have tamales and other Mexican food to go. I grabbed about a dozen different kinds of pan dulce, and the taste lived up to the hype, sooo delicious!!! Next time I go I'll have to get some tamales...I'll definitely be back when I'm in the area! Highly recommend! read more

Spikes is easily one of my favorite spots! Their bread is always made fresh and has just the right touch of sweetness to satisfy any craving. I don't have a single favorite, but their conchas are some of the best I've ever had. On top of that, the staff is incredibly kind and respectful, and the place is always clean and well-kept. Amazing bread and great vibes all around! read more

My coworker surprised me with a chocolate croissant and a cream cheese and jalapeño bolilio and both were amazing. She said she had a burrito there when she picked up my pastries and also recommended it. I think the croissant was on the same level of many "fancy" aka overpriced bakeries and it was very large too and the bolilio might be my new chewy, flavorful obsession. read more

Love this bakery. Their bread is good!!!! Only downside is the line, 9/10 times you have to wait in the longest line with people at times panhandling outside. Their prices are also higher than Porto's and you can never tell what they're charging for since they do it so fast. This is still the best bakery I've been to and TRUST me I've been looking around since I lived to upland. Whatever you order here, you'll love. read more

Best place for pan dulce. It does not disappoint. Tends to be super busy during the holidays with people ordering tamales ahead. They tend to not take orders over the phone. They have you go in to place it. Can't go wrong with a concha. Fresh bread daily. read more

Spikes Cake Shop in Pomona serves up some of the softest, most flavorful Mexican sweet bread I've ever had in my life. The pan dulce is so fresh it practically melts, and the variety makes it dangerously easy to over-order. I'll admit the surrounding area isn't the most polished part of town, but for these baked goods, I'd happily detour. It's one of those places that might not look like much from the outside but delivers big on taste and tradition. Definitely worth the trip for a sweet fix! read more

One of my co-workers recommended Spike's Cake Shop for their delightful conchas. Thank you my friend. What's a concha you ask? Well, it's basically a simple Mexican sweet bread with sugar on top. Sugar comes in different colors... white, chocolate, and pink. My work was having a Hispanic themed potluck. I wanted to bring some conchas so here I am. My first time visiting. It's located in a small plaza. Parking may be limited. I didn't know the flow, but there is a flow after you walk in LOL. I walked up to a gentleman who was an employee here and asked him where are the conchas. There were a few people who were in front of me and they were already in line. I didn't know there was a line. They were gracious to allow me to go ahead of them. Thank you all! Here's the flow... after you walk in, get in the ordering line that is in front of the pastries that are behind door windows. A staff member will assist you in getting what you want to order. They'll get the pastries, put them on a tray, and after all is requested, they'll place the tray on the counter. Then you need to go to the paying line. There's one line for credit card and one line for cash only. Once you're up at the counter, you'll have to tell them which tray is yours. They'll start ringing up your order. I ended up with 2 dozens of conchas... 8 white, 8 chocolate, and 8 pink. I like a variety. Honestly, I thought they would taste a little bit different based on the color, but they all tasted exactly the same. They just have a colorful sugary top appeal to them. However, the gentleman said the white ones are their best seller. Each concha is $0.90. If you want a box for your pastries, they charge $2.00 + tax per box. Otherwise, they will put them in a white paper bag. I didn't know until after they boxed them. It's all good... they are more presentable in a box for potlucks or parties. Otherwise, paper bag is fine. Staff was okay. Service was decent. They get very busy in the morning so do expect some wait time. They do have a lot of different pastries. I'll have to come back and try the others. read more

Avoid visiting this place during holidays as they lack sufficient staff to serve customers, despite some employees trying their best. The lady cashiers provide poor customer service and exhibit racist behavior. They create rules on the spot, which leads to confusion. I was willing to wait but saw a cashier sell bread to an older lady, and when I questioned it, they argued uselessly. Once again, I'm disappointed because this busy business seems disorganized and is quite expensive. read more

Maybe one of the best places to get some real pan mexicano they have a large selection of delicious bread definitely one of those spots you want to check out if you're happen to be in the city of Pomona. Just know that the service here is a bit slow so you're most likely going to have to wait in line but it's worth the wait. The location is clean and big. Everybody's really helpful.I if you're a first timer, don't hesitate to ask somebody at the counter, what line you need to be in and how the process works. They gladly be of service to help you out. read more

This spot is a hood classic. Anyone hating on this place is off because this place is always packed. There is always a line and rightfully so. There is something this place has that's called consistency. Sure they make mistakes, just like any other place but you can't deny the greatness of their product. They're going to serve you with a smile and with care, you don't get that in a lot of bakeries. It is good to support our local spots and Spikes is always worth supporting. My hope is that they continue to serve the community for a long time. My family has been coming here for their cakes for a long time because the cakes are always good and the ingredients are consistent and the cake is always moist and fluffy. Thank you for being a great part of this community! read more

One of the best pan dulce/sweet breads you'll try!! Freshly made and reasonably priced. They also have hot food such as burritos.

My husband had read in the Walnut Buzz that this was the place to get good tamales. He surprised me yesterday and stopped by to get me a cheese and a pork tamale. My favorite tamale is cheese and jalapeno. Unfortunately, this tamale wasn't as good as I had hoped. The pork tamale was better than the cheese. Since we had just gone to a tamale festival a few days before, these tamales just didn't compare. read more

We ordered their Pan Mexicano, which is good and a half dozen tamales, all Chile Verde con queso. There was not a shred of anything in those tamales but masa. They were dense and tasteless. We shared one and toped it with an egg and salsa otherwise it would have been inedible. This place has to do better! read more

Customer service its the worse in this bakery that girls that are helping they dont have manner. I took 40 dollars out and I put it on the counter and she just took the money without saying the total . When I told her what was the total she got confused. She didn't know how to explain why she took my 40 dollar's. When it was less. She didn't know how much change to give me back... She didn't even say sorry or thank you. Never going back to a place with that no customer service. Just a reminder they have a job thanks to the customer read more

Very upset just left the Pomona location. I ordered $103 worth of tamales and sweet bread and one Rapado unfortunately I got the worst service. It was my first time shopping there and won't go back the cashier was very rude Luipita They forgot to put my cheesecake in the box and then they said they didn't even charge me. they had a line and I told her I didn't cut and she said oh I thought you didn't pay. I'm like I'm not gonna cut in the line so when we the told the guy can you just charge me because there's a line and then she said oh well you left because you have me back-and-forth in addition to my ass my son asked for kiwi they didn't have kiwi and the guy said oh your son is picking. I'm like no my son isn't picky. Stop judging someone if you don't know them.he is autistic very un professional both of them very disrespectful 0 stars read more

Bought 2 chocolate muffins and they are stale. Bought 2 tamales and they taste like nothing.

I have never enjoyed Pan Dulce. Probably because I'm white. I never understood that you have to dink it in coffee to make it taste good. All those thoughts are gone now that I discovered Spike's. The most delicious, soft & fresh. No coffee needed read more

El pan es como ningun otro lugar. El pan siempre es de calidad excelente, con mucho sabor, textura perfecta, y no tan dulce. Me encantan los postres. Y la comida está buena.

Born and raised in Pomona, and now living in Santa Monica, I still make the drive just for the pan dulce (Mexican sweet bread)! I refuse to go anywhere else. I absolutely love this place and grew up on it. Love this place! Customer service is great and hard working! read more

5:00 pm on a Saturday and there is still a line out the door! Probably because they only have one person serving the pan dulce. I haven't stopped by in a couple of years so the nice bright menu sign with prices is good to see. The burritos are hefty and are stuffed with rice, beans and meat. Our favorites are the asada and the al pastor. The display case has fresh fruit topped tarts, parfaits and a large variety of cakes. But the best are the concha pan dulces. They are so soft and fluffy. The racks of conchas behind the glass cabinets go quickly. There are exrra trays of them that were just baked recently. As for service, I've never encountered anyone rude. Perhaps I'm not Hispanic, but the staff are courteous and don't rush you. In terms of pricing, there isn't a sign for the pan dulce prices. On my receipt, it said $10.82 for 9 pieces of sweet bread, so about $1.20 each. Not bad. This little mini mall is fairly busy, so I felt safe due to the many customers. read more

I love their green tamales. I've never had better. They are a busy place, so get there early.

Always great to come in for some fresh pan dulce and some tamales. They stay consistent with their recipes for everything including beverages and food. Great local spot for anyone who wants to give it a try. Place is clean and you get a very traditional feel walking in. Makes me feel like when I'm going to a Panaderia in Mexico. Make sure you have time when you drop in though because there is almost always a line even if it's just for bread. read more

If you come to Spikes is because they have the best Mexican sweet bread on this side of LA county. I no longer drive to the East LA area for Mexican sweet bread. This place also has great tamales. I mean these tamales are the only ones I actually eat besides the ones my family makes. Don't forget to buy some bolillo (Mexican French style bread) then stuff your tamal inside. The champurado here is good. Not too watery and not too thick. Service here is usually the same. I've only dealt with one person that was just out of it. If you plan on coming be prepared to wait in line. There's a line to pay. Then a line to get your sweet bread. Then there's a line to pay. Today someone cut in front of us while we ordered our bread, but this had never happened in the past. We didn't say anything and just waited. The area isn't great, but it beats the drive to the other side of town. I would suggest the if you like pretty cakes don't come here. I'm sure the cakes are good, but I've seen people upset because the cake they ordered didn't look like what they wanted. read more

this used to be my favorite place for sweet bread because it used to be so fresh soft and delicious. However the past three times I have went I've had a bad experience. Stale old sweet bread at first I thought it was me or just a bad day or just wrong timing but no something has changed there I don't know if it's management or just trying to save on money but even when I dipped it into coffee it still tasted old so be careful. The tamales are always good I haven't really tried the other food because it's high-priced and when you have a family of five you just can't LOL read more
