Arandas Bakery

Update. I WILL NOT be a returned customer. Yesterday stopped by to get some sweet bread only to find a big hair baked into one of the cookies. See photos attached. Grossss. needless to say it has been reported thru the proper channels.

I usually go to this location when I’m making poboy sandwiches. Their Bolillo (which also mean French Bread. Thank’you Google) is the closest I’ve found to the French bread that’s used in New Orleans to make poboys. They’re usually fresh & hot. YUMMO! If you’re a bread & pastry lover, this is the place for you. You can get like a thousand pieces of bread for 5 $. I can’t review any of the other breads because I haven’t tried them. I’m usually a stickler for customer service but it’s doesn’t even matter here. I just want my few Bolillos & IM OUT. I said that to say, SOME of the customer service is below average. So don’t expect much.

I buy empanadas in bulk numbers for community meetings the office hosts, and they are always well received. I’ve been there twice now and I love it.
The food: I had their pan dulces a long time and ago, and I’m just never a fan of pan dulce so I didn’t like it here either. BUT I’ve been getting the empanadas for work, and theyre yummy. I order the pina, the cheese, and the camote (sweet potato) ones. The camote is my favorite. All are always soft and fresh. GREAT PRICES & FRESH
The Service: really could be better. over the phone, they’re rude and good luck finding something that a) speak clearly and b) speaks english well. In-​store, the impression is better, but not great. they are all bare minimum friendly, and pretty slow. They take their time to do everything, so be careful about going there when you’re in a time crunch.
Sometimes the bakery smells weird, but I’m usually in and out so dont care, and the empanadas are so good that I let the smell go.
If you have a big order, they’ll make you come in and make it in person, which i think is crazy. luckily it’s on my way to other places so I didn’t mind too much that i had to go in.

I made myself go in here, and honey, I can’t stop going!!! THIS IS THE BEST PLACE FOR GETTING CHEAP DESSERTS!!! I HAVE BEEN HAVING A BLAST!
I go here almost every saturday morning. Beautiful cakes!!! I mean BEAUTIFUL!!!
I highly recomment. However, the customer service is soso…

Always a pleasure going by there for fresh pan dulce. Great price for authentic desserts. Definitely recommend them for the atmosphere, the prices and the quality of the breads!

One star is too high. There Bolillo were cold even after ringing the belt and had mold, there tres leches and cheesecake is NASTY, and there employees could care less about anything.
