What People Are Saying
from Google & Yelp"I usually go to other locations because of the quality. Truthful this location doesn’t have the same taste and quality. Last time I got a mold slices cake. So I decided to give it one more chance. For one they got my order wrong. I know there are two chipotle items but I did repeat my order and indicated I wanted the breakfast one and I still got the wrong one. Went back and the server was so rude and had the audacity mock a thank you. Even if it’s a drive, I’d rather just go to Lincoln Heights or South Pasadena or Hollywood because this location terrible"
"The sweetbread is good at this bakery, whenever we go to La Monarca, we get the taquitos de cajeta and some conchas, the cafe de olla is quite good. Once we tried their burritos and to be honest they weren’t good, haven’t tried their cakes though."
"Part of a local chain, but this location is well-kept and always stocked. The tres leches cake is soft and creamy. Their coffee drinks are strong and pair well with the pastries. Service is quick, even when it’s busy. A nice upgrade from your average bakery."
"It will be better if you closed the bakery , is not what it used to be, today I came to buy a Mocha Cake and for my surprise there wasn’t cakes available , only flavors like guayaba, cajeta, fresa … I wanted a mocha, vanilla or a chocolate cake , and they said they we’re sold out !!! It was 3:00 pm. They must had made one cake 🤷♀️, I used to come to buy cakes and they used to have all flavors but not anymore 🙄🙄, I’m not coming back it’s a waste of time , this bakery is no good anymore"
"A modern panadería with Mexican coffee drinks and pastries. The conchas are soft and fresh. The café de olla latte is my favorite. The store is clean and has a cozy vibe. A nice mix of traditional and modern"
"This review is based solely on their whole cakes, as I have yet to try any of their drinks or other pastries. I stopped in during my lunch break to..."
