Don Panchos Bakery

Don Panchos is a great bakery and one of my personal favorites. The selection is vast and the flavors are plentiful. The best part about the bakery is uniqueness. You won’t find a maple bacon long john or a jelly filled bismark at this bakery.
They offer cookies, donuts, pastries, cakes and much more. This bakery can customize and create multi-​layered cakes for any special occasion.
I enjoy the self service of this bakery. No need to tell an employee behind the counter what and how many of something you want. Walk in, grab a basket near the register and start loading it up with the delicious treats. Once your conscious kicks in or if your basket gets full bring it up to the register to check out. Both cash & card are accepted.
The bakery has an open floor plan with the glass cases holding the pastries along the sides of the wall. The only downside is the seating. Inside of the bakery doesn’t have anywhere to sit. You won’t be able to sit down with a cup of coffee and enjoy your donut in this bakery.
One last thing… don’t worry if you don’t speak Spanish. It’s self serve so you don’t need to know the names of the items. Just find what looks delicious and add it to your basket. The cashier also speaks English and they are very friendly.

Great pastries that you might normally not find in your local store bakery… like a pumpkin filled croissant… and cheap.
I stop here whenever i am passing through… at great peril to my waistline. Pass on the three milks cake… but don’t pass on the cream cheese croissants or the rasberry coconut cake with a pudding like filling… yum. Most pastries are not quite as sweet as what you find in the groc store… which i prefer. No high fructose corn syrup here.

Had I known what an ice rink the roads were, I might have passed on the pastries today, but I didn’t and either did the droves of cars at the bakery.
My parents gave me a coupon for $ 5.00 off @ Don Panchos. I think they thought I had purchased the croissants I brought them previously from Don Panchos, when in fact they were from Trung Nam.
This is cute, and what looks to be family run bakery over in the Del Sol district. They have cases of freshly baked, inviting pastries and cakes.
I love the smell of bakeries. They were bringing pans of fresh made loaves of french bread and dumping into a bin in the front.
I wasn’t clear on whether or not I should help myself, so I asked and the young boy pointed me to the baskets sitting on the counter. I wasn’t too jazzed about using those– they looked kind of dirty, so I just lined it with some of the bakery tissue paper, took the tongs and purchased the following:
— 3 churros which were nothing spectacular.
–2 plain croissants which were ok. A little heavy and not light and fluffy like Trung Nam
–1 cream cheese (I think) croissant which was delicious
— 2 sugar donuts
— chocolate filled empanada
and something that looked like a biscuit. Not quite sure about that thing yet. I’ll have J try that one.
Most of the items are labeled w/​prices.
For all that with coupon it came to only $ 5.75 which was pretty cheap.
Glad I tried it, but honestly I think I’ll have to stick to the heavenly croissants at Trung Nam. This place is worth a visit though.
