The pan is always delicious and fresh. They also have a good variety to choose from. It's always very busy so if you're getting it for work definitely come early so you have enough time. The employees are always so kind and helpful and patient which is always great. The bakery is always clean as well. Parking on both sides of the building but it can get a little hectic.

Wow, what can I say! Phenomenal! For her early, everything still warm. Great variety of authentic Mexican bakery items. Prices very reasonable. Fast service. Clean. Friendly. Good parking. Easy to find. Hardest part is what to pick! You will not be disappointed. I can't wait to go again. Glad I stumbled on this hidden gem!

Bakery was busy. Seemed to be a popular place. We asked the counter person to give us a dozen of whatever she recommended. Some of the choices were good but some tasted bland. There was a long line so there is some wait time.
