They are a bit laid back and you should think of it as a self-serve operation more than a restaurant. Go in and get what you want. Most of what we purchased was good but we went in later in the day and some of the food was showing its age. Selections are better in the mornings. Everything could use a bit more flavor which may be due to the quality of ingredients you can find locally.

Walking through the doors is nostalgic invoking your own walk through history. If you've never been you won't be disappointed and begin your own experiences. Grab a box with one of everything and you still will have plenty more to sample. Ive traveled through many states and places specializing in this sweet pastries but never find anything as delicious. The staff is very friendly eager to help and always smiling. Even the owner will be there in the front lines assisting. Like the olden days. You can even get a cup of coffee and talk story. They also have a few grocery items in case you need to grab milk, eggs and a soda. The ambiance is just down home. Maybe I'll see you there grabbing your favorite piece of "pan dulce". Yes, they are "Special".
