This is a very small homey classic Mexican bakery. If you want authentic pan (bread) you found the right spot! They also have tamales which were awesome and they also have classic Mexican deserts. The service is very friendly and the workers here seem to enjoy their job. Definitely a great spot to go to if you're craving sweets or tamales! read more

Omgoodness the best chicken tamales ,we're going to try the other ones ,but the best ever

Oh so good. And they are pretty too. I was always on the lookout for a good Mexican bakery. And the reminders that Yvette's exists were unrelenting... I could see this little bakery as I drove down the freeway, and with a way too easy access. First impressions? A tiny storefront with a limited selection of bakery items. But hold on to your britches. Prepare to get nostalgic. It's that fun feeling after seeing the traditional wooden display cases with glass doors. And the smells, oh my, divine. I completely lost my focus (I had had a tamale craving that first day) and grabbed a tray and tongs. Do know that, right now, bread is out of the question for me. But there are others in my circle who do not have these restrictions. So I say in retrospect, it is important to get the best for whomever is important in your life. And I am saying, yes, I did try them BNC (Before No Carbs). And yes, I knew I was in serious trouble here. I got an acute case of the goosebumps when I noticed the word manteca describing some of the pastries. I know, I know. The rest of the world frowns on using animal fat these days. But between you, me, and the lamppost, there is no comparison when it comes to a pan dulce's proper taste. They know what they are doing in the back of the kitchen. The consensus: the breads were special. Fresh, all the right flavors, light, moist, beautiful to look at, and understated sweetness. So, we returned. And this answers the burning question why I am now doing keto: to undo my indiscretions. As I said earlier, I was hooked on the notion of having tamales for the New Year, a splurge, because I simply cannot be having carbs like these willy nilly. But it was the breads that won me over. The tamales were not anything memorable. If I could just figure out how to vacuum the carbs out of these precious nuggets, I would be standing at the front door waiting for them to open. Sigh. Bon Appetit! read more

Came back here for the champurrado, conchas and tamales Dec 2023. Food always fresh. I think the ambiance can little more welcoming maybe decorating depending on the time of season will be nice. Service is always 50/50 but like the product. read more

Woohoo! This Panaderia (aka bakery) offers ALL my "pan dulce" favs (conchas, puerquitos, nino envueltos, pan frances). This spot is tucked away in a strip mall (next to Dexter's Deli). The sweet breads were fresh and prices were super reasonable. JUST AN FYI: It is self-serve (so grab a tray + grab pair of silver tongs+fill up your tray and then hand over to staff so they can ring you up). PLUS this little gem offers home made tamales, menudo, and cold pressed juices. Unfortunately, the discovery of this spot poses a serious threat to my hips..but that doesn't matter, because I WILL be back. read more

What a great find! Bakery items were fresh and tasty. I couldn't help but to add to my list of must haves. I haven't found a better Mexican bakery in Riverside. I'm sure they are out there, but this one is within easy driving distance for me. The selection was fantastic. The service was super friendly. It's just a small sized bakery, it's not fancy but you don't go there to eat. You go there to get great bakery items and enjoy elsewhere. I've already told friends about this place. It's now their go-to for bakery desserts and rolls. Fantastic place! read more

The absolute best tamales. Their chicken is extremely tender, no matter that it is white breast meat. Don't miss out!

Chicken tamales ... MY MOM would love these ! They are all very good ... not greasy or too much masa! Generous with the meat filling .. a little expensive but worth it read more

Yvette's Bakery - Chicken tamale - Bakeries Near Me - Riverside, California

These tamales are moist, delicious and meaty. The perfect trifecta to me of a good tamale. I've been eating these for while as I work close by here and my co workers are always coming here for tamales and bread. For bread I bought 2 pieces and of the two I really liked the concha it has another sprinkle of course sugar on top of the normal concha sugar topping. The concha was NOT dry which is usually common. I see why people have their tea/coffee with their bread because usually Mexican pan is dry. This was lighter and delicious. The other pan which is usually my go to was just ok a little dry and the flavor was vague. That bread was the little piggy bread. All in all I'll continue giving Yvette's bakery my business. read more

I work in the area and love the delicious selection of pan dulce and fresh aguas. Tamales are always fresh and also so good! I was able to grab a last minute purchase of tamales on New Years Eve and was not disappointed. From their services to fresh ingredients this is one of my Riverside favorites. read more

Delicious pan Mexicano and tamales of course . Come by early they sell out quick. I highly recommend the chicken tamales

U can taste the quality in every item. Everything tasted the way it should/I remember it. If I can make a suggestion: Cold weather/Christmas season is for champurrado. That, nd tamales r what is missing. Other than that, based on Quality, friendly service, sweet-bread variety, location, among other things, this will keep me coming back. read more

mal servicio al cliente y los tamales salieron crudos en este día 8/31/25 y lo digo así para que les den mejor atención a sus empleados ya que no tienen el mejor equipo en este día TAMALES CRUDOS Y MAL SERVICIO AL CLIENTE cuando quiere uno su dinero de regreso por los tamales crudos . Y se les da 1 estrella por que ya se a comprado tamales en otras ocasiones nunca este problema por ese motivo se seguía regresando, pero no más ! read more

the tamales were so bad not cooked at all. customer service was very odd. the lady was really hard headed didn't want to admit that they were raw. don't recommend going here. save your money and go somewhere else. read more

My husband bought conchitas from this bakery and they were absolutely moist and delicious. However, when i went, conchitas were very, very, very dry. I arrived pretty early in morning, so, not sure if they were left over from day/s prior. Will i go back again? Maybe. But if i do, i will ask when they were baked or wait for fresh ones right outta the oven. read more

Great pan dulce, love their conchas and other items, they also have fresh juices which are pretty good. Tamales are just ok, but overall good place for Mexican sweet bread. read more

Loved this place, walking in it's truly a panaderia with the warm, sweet air. On cold days this is the spot you need to go to, forget a donut shop the warm shops of panaderias are like warm grandma/ motherly hugs. You can smell the browning of bread and imagine the warm bites you're about to dig into. They have a large varity of breads as well from pan de trigo, common sweet bread like conchas and mantecadas, to puerqos and even tamales. Good stuff, highly recommend the food and the experience that to me is a warm sense of nostalgia and familiarity. read more

Todo el servicio mediocre La que te cobra tiene que ir a mirar cuando vale un pan cada que cobra uno 10 minutos en cobrarte 10 panecitos los jugos ni hablar todos rebajados de agua lo único que los defiende son más o menos los tamales pero aveces son pura masa chanpurrado nunca tienen en la mañana Como cliente para el dueño vendan sus productos como si ustedes estuvieran comprando read more

Service was very good and friendly no problems ordering the tamales that we drove to see how they would taste and when we got home the tamales were delicious read more

Very good tamales and good service , fast , price is Ok , kinda hard to find parking coz it's in the small strip mall

It's always been hit or miss for me at Yvette's, but for the most part I hadn't been bothered nor impressed enough to leave a review. Mistakes happen and they are usually inconvenient but what bothers me most when mistakes happen is unapologetic attitude and zero recourse offered. I went in to pick up some tamales and they said they were working on them so I paid $120 for a few dozen and was told to come back in an hour. I came back an hour and a half later and they had sold my tamales and told me it would be another hour. I had already burned the fuel to get there the first 2 times and I was unavailable to make another trip as we were heading out of state for the holidays that morning. They seemed shocked that I said I wouldn't wait again. Why would I take that gamble again? Then they seemed confused as to what they should do.... Well, refund my money would be great, but what gets under my skin is the complete disregard for accepting responsibility with a sincere apology. Costumer service is dead. I haven't been in the service industry in a very long time but a morsel of recourse, maybe a refund with an apology, a discount for a future order, or an offering of the last two tamales in the bucket would have been a small ripple of a gesture that could have caused a tidal wave of confidence to come back again, continue to refer friends and family, compose a positive review..... Ripples that turn in to waves- Businesses lately miss the simplicity of that idea lately. I wasn't looking for free handouts which is why I simply collected my refund and walked out disappointed. But now this small ripple of leaving disappointed has me leaving a note of advice rather than praise and sadly looking for new establishments to take my business. read more

The food is fantastic and best place in town to get tamales! Highly recommended. Parking is a bit meh but it's worth going to.

Best conchitas ever. You will have zero regrets and it will become your favorite place for conchitas. Tamales are good as well.

You Look m Love it Looks good first time ordering From Yvette's bakery.Trying their Tamales. read more

Two words..... CHOCOLATE FLAN!!!! What's better than Mexican pastries?! Sweet, filling, cake, bread and unbelievably cheap prices?! Sign me up! Yvette's Bakery does not disappoint! I've been in here multiple times and have left drooling and rushing home to eat my bag full of goodies. Everything I've tried has been delicious and well prepared. Chocolate Flan is my go-to here and I can't seem to get enough. Flan on top of a dense chocolate cake has to be the perfect combination! Workers here are friendly and helpful. They open early and have coffee's and drinks for those early mornings. I'm so glad there is a wonderful bakery just minutes from my house! Keep up the good work! read more

They provide good service. The tamales are good for the price and availability, favorite would be the sweet corn.

Best tamales in town! They're so good, plan on standing in line awhile. The bakery goods look delicious.

Our go-to bakery! We moved to Riverside in July 2020 and it took awhile for us to find good spots for pan Dulce. One day we walked into Yvette's and we've been loyal customers since. No other bakeries in the area even begin to compare. Their chocolate conchas are my absolute favorite. My husband loves their elotes and cuernitos. Those are always a must for us to pick up. We are also in love with their tamales de queso. We've been pretty lucky and only once were they out of tamales when we stopped by. Most recently, we tried their gelatina de café and their arroz con leche. They're both yummy, but the gelatina de cafe is so creamy and rich it's hard to not be addicted! Especially if you're a coffee lover, this gelatina is an absolute must! The store is pretty small so sometimes on busy days (like Sundays) it's really jam packed in there because everyone is fighting to buy their menudo. I liked it better when they had a sign asking for only a few families to come in at once and for everyone else to make line outside. If you're in the area, and even if you're not, this is the place to go to for tamales, pan Dulce, and other goodies that they also have! read more

Todo bien rico tamales pan Servicio rápido y amable El locales es chico pero todo bien read more

This is NOT my favorite bakery I usually drive all the way to Fontana for fresh Mexican bread but needed some bolillos & decided to come here after of course reading so many high reviews, I purchased bolillos & when I got home I noticed mostly all of them were burnt! What a disappointment! (Posting pic) so check your bolillos before even paying for it. By the way when buying bolillos the cashier gives them to you in a bag that's why I didn't notice it until I got home. read more

Tamales are very good . Could use a bit more chicken in them . Very pricey it's the most I ever paid for tamales . But we all did enjoy them . Was disappointed when we got there early and there was no more cheese tamales. So will have to Try them I'm sure there good as well read more

The best bolios!! Fresh, so soft and delicious! Love the concha's and a few other of the sweet breads! Don't forget a green juice if you go, decent price and tastes great! read more

Stumbled upon this gem when in a bind to find a bakery. The best fresh croissants I've ever had. Delicious! Tamales are bomb too!

Best tamales in town they are packed with a lot of chicken and the spice is just perfect. Their champurrado tastes amazing I would 1000% recommend coming here! The shop looks very homey and clean as well read more

Omgosh! This place is soooo expensive! Their breads are very expensive. Better buy your bread at other Mexican stores like El Super, Cardenas, Superior markets. They have Juan 3:16. Really? Then why expensive!! read more

They put your bread in a plastic bag, I don't think that's very sanitary but as I'm standing there while she's putting it in the bag I'm reading the hand written signs on the wall and for 25 cents you can get a box for your bread. It was my first time here so I didn't know and it was never offered. Also the only conchas I found were smashed, I don't know if maybe this is their way of making them. Also I think the prices were a little too high. I think their specialty is tamales and champurrado. So for the one butter cookie I got seems to be good. Customer service was meh read more

Super delicious, very fresh and has a big selection. The jello was fire too! We tried the peach one!

I was going to Riverside and wanted to get tamales. I found Yvette's through Yelp and I was not disappointed. I've always had dry tamales, but not from here. I ordered the 3 different kinds and they all were moist. 4 stars is due to the bread. My husband and I bought a lot, but I do not think the way to get bread/pastries was very sanitary. I would definitely go back, though. read more

Never disappointed- from their pork, chicken or cheese tamales to their champurrado and pan dulce
