Cicitos Bakery

This place deserves only 1 star because bread is decent. The usual lady that is there, horrible moody n defensive. Simple question on bread, she became upset. If she hates helping then leave. And she didn’t say thank you and didn’t great.

Small bakery next to Saigon Dish which we frequent about once per week, the staff is always friendly and the selection of Mexican pastries is always good, the prices are less than many of the other compeeting panderias. The location is sparce and plain but you are not here for the décor, you are here for yummy Mexican pastries.

During a nice Saturday lunch at a nearby phở place, Cicitos Bakery caught my eye. I instantly went to Unilocal to find out about this place and was surprised to see only two reviews and that they were written so far apart.
When I walked in, they had several different pan dulce treats: from sugar cookies to sweet and savory empanadas. I got the sweet empanadas. There were three different kinds of sweet empanadas: pineapple, guava and cream filled. I was surprised at the awesome price of these sweet empanadas… they were… drumroll please: 3 for a $ 1. What a deal! (I noticed they also had empanadas for meat. These are a $ 1 a piece.)
I tried the cream filled empanada first. The outer was pink and had the texture of Mexican cookies. The sweet filling was nice and creamy. I liked that it wasn’t to sweet.
When I tried the guava filled empanada, I decided to heat it up and microwaving it for 20 seconds did wonders for this treat. Heating up the guava empanada made it super soft and yummy. The guava filling was sweet and fruity.
The pineapple filled empanada was flavorful and tasty. It’s similar to the guava one in terms of sweetness.
All of these sweet empanadas matched well with a cup of coffee. It’s a great little treat for breakfast or a snack. Out of all the three types of empanadas, I liked the cream filled the best. It had the cookie like crust and the cream made it different from the fruit filled ones.
This little bakery has good treats for good prices! I’m surprised with the lack of reviews and lack of people. People are missing out on some good stuff :).

The baked goods are extremely dry! I feel deceived, they look so yummy but beware. Everything is very cheep I really don’t understand how this place makes any money at all. The two stars are for the looks of the goods and for the nice lady that works up front.

This bakery is located a couple of doors away form the Saigon Dish Restaurant. I stopped by to pick up a couple of items to go.
In short the quality is lacking with somewhat unpleasant after taste. When you’re eating it, it kind of reminds me of home cooked goods and it’s not bad but there’s a slightly chalky and bland after taste, I’d prefer more flavorful-​bread kind of aftertaste.
This place looks like they’re either just setting up or going through a slow death as the offerings were sparse and interior didn’t look complete. There was steady customer traffic however.
One big plus is the low low price.
