Panaderia Cafe Oaxaca

Best Mexican bakery on this side of town. Pastries always taste fresh and they do a very good job of keeping their place clean.

Had a breakfast bagel, it was absolutely awful! I this was my 3 visit and 3 disappointment.

Thank God I found this place! Their pan dulce is so delicious! Very soft and always fresh! The people are super friendly. One of the ladies even said she would help me pick out the bread I wanted because she saw me struggling to do it while carrying my son! Sweet family!

Omg this is one of my favorite bakeries! I’ve been to many other bakeries but this one always beats the others. Their bread is always fresh and even when your outside you smell the bread. The scent just brings you in ! Yes they only take cash but that’s no big deal their bread is worth it. But their bread isn’t just good, the cakes are just as amazing ! Many spanish teachers from my school order from this bakery and my classmates from my spanish class love it, they always want more haha. The employees are very generous and humble, they help you on what to get. This bakery is the best you won’t regret it

tried to like this place. several visits. maybe 1 out of 4 bread selections was fresh. the rest stale and hard. I quit going.
luckily, Rubens bakery opened at fowker and Bullard. much better.

Its OK
About average fair of Mexican baked goods at a fair price.
Friendly service
Cannot eat inside.

Love the Pan Dulce here. Its always fresh and moist and the family who owns it is always super friendly. No more driving across town to get great quality bread :)

The only place I like to get pan dulce from. Every time I go I’m always the only customer in the store (cant complain, more bread for me). If you’ve never had pan dulce you’re missing out. This place offers a variety to choose from. My personal favorites are cuernitos and conchas. Both of which taste even better when you place them in the microwave for 10 seconds and then dip them in cold milk.
If you’ve never been to a panadería the process is simple. Walk in, get a tray and tongs, fill your plate with whatever you like and then pay at checkout. I believe most are 75 cents each. Very cheap considering how difficult they can be to make.

First off you need to know that they only take cash. No checks, no plastic. Cash only. The plan was to sample the pan dulces today and decide if they are good enough for a class that wants to try traditional Mexican foods on Friday.
The man at the cash register was very nice. The shop looked clean.
It was the end of the day, (they close at 3 on Wednesdays, we got there at 2:30) and a couple were deemed dry, although I told my kids that pan dulces aren’t normally moist.
The gingerbread piggies were very good, a really nice full flavor to them. I’ve always had some that are thick and soft, and these were a little less so, more like a cookie (but not crumbly). I like them and so did my kids. The pink crumbly cookies tasted as good as I’ve had, and I’ve had these from all over the Bay Area. For those two alone, I’ll be back.
The apple turnovers looked good. I bought three versions, 1. the thick/​smooth pastry apple turnover was only okay, I have high hopes for the flaky pasty apple turnover, my husband hasn’t eaten it yet though so I can’t say. There was another one with a smooth topped pastry that smells lovely, like cinnamon, and it tastes like apple butter. It’s okay, the filling is a little rubbery (again, maybe because we bought them at the close of the day) maybe they are lovely first thing in the morning.
Also, one daughter loved the Concha she tried. They were out of, or, do not make the types of pan dulces that look like thick slices of French bread with a butter/​sugar spread. Next time I’ll go first thing in the morning. Yep, I’ll be back. I want to try some of the other bakery items, I like that they aren’t all super sweet, they go great with a cup of café con leche.

This is one of my favorite bakeries! We go here almost every week to grab a Mexican style pastry or two (or six!). Always greeted with a smile — these people really appreciate and enjoy their customers.
Pretty simple and very clean. You grab a tray and a pair of tongs, and select your fresh-​baked goodies. Take em’ up to the nice gal at the register and she carefully puts them in a bag for you, and takes a tiny bit of your hard earned money. With a big smile.
Any other Unilocalers go here? You’re missing out! What are you waiting for!!!
