La Ilusion Bakery

This place is fantastic!!! If you like Mexican pastries or bread like me you will love this place. If you want fresh Mexican baked goods this is your place to go. Thanks to a fellow Unilocaler (LOVE MY UnilocalERS) I was introduced to this bakery and I can not wait to go back. You would think that at 6:00pm it would be closing and no one would be inside, well think again. This place was super busy and had people going in and out of it buying things. They have a variety of Mexican desserts from cakes, cookies, and breads. Everything is affordable and taste delicious. They also take both cash and credit card and english is spoken.

I’ve gotten three excellent tres leches birthday cakes from here over the past three years: Tangled, Hello Kitty, and just a colorful one. I want to get the Despicable Me one and the Baby Tigger n Baby Pooh one for my next birthdays but I think I will try a different type of cake if they have them as I’ve had enough tres leches for awhile. My new favorite type of cake is a tres leches chocolate cake with flan on top. Combined with their awesome decorations I’ll have an awesome cake next year as well.
They almost always serve their cakes on time and if they are off (which has only happened once) they will give you a coupon discounting off the next cake that doesn’t expire. We got that coupon last year and used it this year.
Their bread is pretty standard but my husband seems to like it the best. I don’t eat it much and it all tastes the same to me, but this is for sure where I will always go for authentic Mexican cakes for my birthdays. When I do eat it though, it’s pretty amazing. I recently gave their Chile con Queso a try and was surprised by how much I loved it. I’d tried it at another bakery and disliked it but it’s addicting here.
