Ruby’s Pan Dulce

Ordered a custom Tres Leches strawberry cake. Was awesome everyone at the party loved it.

Very hit and miss affair this. A small store in an obscure corner, most of the baked items like muffins, many kinds of sugary bread are very average (and eggy). The flan was also disappointing. The only plus point for these dishes being the low price point.
There’s some hallmark items though — like the tres leches, not overly sweet, just rich enough. And the fresh fruit juices at the counter.

If you are looking for mexican sweet bread, come here. Prices are average in comparison to pan dulce bought elsewhere, but unlike at many mexican markets, these are actually fresh! Major points for actually having sprinkle cookies that taste good and not like cardboard :) Will be coming back!

Came in never having tried pan dulce before, and was very excited. The shop was impeccably clean, and they had a huge selection of pastries to try. Grab a tray, some tongs, and try to decide what you want to try. Everything we tried was great. Prices are listed inside the display on each item, and everything is pretty cheap. Cards are accepted to pay with. The only drawback in my opinion is that they don’t have boxes. Everything we got was put into plastic bags, which is fine, but we were bringing some pastries to a friend. I wasn’t exactly keen on presenting them with pastries in a vegetable bag from the grocery store.

My husband bought the cornbread from here, the cheesecake, and the coconut cake for my birthday and they were all sooooo good! Definitely the best cornbread I’ve tasted. I like how there’s actual corn in there. The cheesecake is amazing too. Not really sure if there’s a special name for it but we’ve gone back for more of it. I can’t believe how inexpensive everything is… it’s great! But not so great for the diet because we can basically buy everything for such a good price.

Bought their pan dulce. Am very picky on my Mexican bread lol I don’t like to buy it at just any bakery but wow the bread here is so good and taste fresh too.

I have super sweet tooth that kicks in after lunch. This place is close to my work and I love it! The first time I came here I took a bunch of cookies and pastries for a work party. I had almost all the pastries but the one that stood out to me the most was the coconut cake. I don’t like coconut and I love this one! Trust me, it’s that good. They didn’t the corn bread the last time I went so I bought some this time. So excited to try it! The people are always nice, both visitors and the employees, and always help me with my questions. Definitely my go-​to dessert place near work! Also, the prices are pretty good for the quantity!

The best place to eat tres-​leche (tri-​milk) cake. Yum and Yum. It’s soft, flavorful, non-​bready, full of juicy milk and did I say health?! Amazing!

Reeeally like this place!
A little out of the way for me, but their selection is awesome!
Conchas are light and not too sweet.
Little pigs with molasses are so yummy! again, not too sweet, and nice and big and toothsome.
Corn cake is awesome!!!
Cream filled croissant pastries are sooo decadent. Definitely can’t finish one by myself lol
Churros were super stale, I have only tried one, but it was about 2 pm and it was hard as a rock. The one thing I would not repurchase
The sopapilla cheesecake is perfect! Creamy and dense, with a pastry crust
Orajas are really good, but the place by my house cooks the sugar on top, and I like that a little better than having it just sprinkled on top, like they do here
Definitely a gem. Everything is so beautiful. The layout is nice. Pick up a tray, tongs, and make your choices.
I was the only customer at the time, and the cashier was really nice about answering questions about fillings and flavors and such, since some thinge are not specifically labelled, for w newbie like me, I often don’t know exactly what things are. She was really nice :)
It’s in a little strip mall, so parking isn’t a problem
I would definitely go back if I was i the area, or had a craving for that sopapilla mmmmmm!!!

Came in as the reviews had high marks. I usually Tavel to San Jose for Pan Dulce. I’m very picky. I don’t like stale or seeds in my Pan. I came in 15min before closing and the Pan was super Fresh and it tasted delicious! No more special trips, this is closer to home. My kids loved their late night snack.

I’m not sure why I just discovered this place but ever so grateful that I did. Tried their mangonada ($ 5.99) today and it was just OK (had better). but definitely want to give the other items a try. As you walk in, you are instantly drawn to the fragrant smell of baked goodies. Staff is friendly and baked goods are a great deal! Will definitely be back to try other items.

Took a bite of their sweet corn bread, pupils dilated and mind fucking blown. Went back a few hours later and bought a whole pan.
Equally sweet staff.
Muchos yummy pastries and tres affordable prices all around.

The man and I had an early evening churro craving and took to the Unilocal app to find the closest taqueria with churro’s on the menu. Ruby’s Pan Dulce came up and our curiosity was piqued.
If you’re into Dick’s Bakery or Paris Baguette, get ready to love Ruby’s. You can’t beat the prices (6 items for under $ 6) & the bakery offers a dozen + varieties of cakes, cookies & other Mexican pastry items. We stuck to the yellow cake with pink sprinkles & got our grabby hands on the last two churros.
I would recommend getting to Ruby’s earlier in the day — the girl at the counter mentioned to us that they have churros w/​caramel in the middle, but they run out fairly quickly.
Like most bakeries it’s best to get there early on to get the best & freshest items. The churros we got were tasty, but definitely getting on the stale side after being out (I’m assuming) all day.

I came here at the end of the night, when most things were already sold out or just about to be, so I can’t complain about the freshness. Or lack thereof. The desserts were still really good, which speaks volumes of Ruby’s Pan Dulce. After eating carne asada tacos at home, Siobhan F. and I decided to grab dessert. We stuck to the Mexican theme, typed «churros» in Unilocal’s search tab, this place popped up first, we jumped in the car, and the next thing you know we’re buying a pile of goods – churros, cookies, slices of cake, palmiers, chocolate muffins all stacked on one another. The cake and muffins were the highlights for me. Both were moist and light without being overly sweet. Definitely a fan. Would love to come back in the morning right when the place opens. I bet the smells are incredible…

Its been a while wince ive been in this neighborhood. Before the laundromat and market the taqueria was the only real draw. How things have changed. The taqueria has significantly upgraded… outside area, new paint décor, tvs, and they even got rid of the check cashing, send money to Latin America office in the back. Even crazier is they opened a bakery down the way! Got some fruit filled pastries for the road. Soft and flaky they were decently fresh. Good to see that the biz is doing well enough to open new frontiers

I was looking for «ginger pigs» that I remember from my childhood and didn’t know where to find other than in Santa Cruz.
This bakery’s version of puerquito is as good as my memories from childhood of this not too sweet pastry! It’s even better than the one in Santa Cruz!
I’ll be back!

Best place for Mexican pastries!
I love this place when I am craving something SWEET!
They offer your standard fanfare for a Mexican pastry shop.
They have friendly staff and are very well priced.
Try the cheesecake and conos!

Thank to my Unilocal friend Tiffany Michelle L !! I found this great Place for Mexican Bread right around the corner from my work !
Its so hard to find a good Mexican Bread place in Santa Clara or Sunnyvale. Well I would like to tell you I found one here at Ruby’s Pan Dulce. Mexican bread seem just so more healthy eating than the usual donuts dozen. lol So I found myself driving early in the morning here about 7:15am and this place was super busy. You find all the local Sunnyvale residence working men and woman poping in the get there breafast bread.
As you walk in this is a small bakery but do not Under estimate on their abundance of assorted type of bread. They have a wide variety of bread and all all cleanly contained in the own area, nicely marked Price that can range from 50 cent to 3 for a dollar. How is works… the usual in any bread store just grab your tray and thongs to pick out what you would like to buy.
I was picking up alot of assorted bread for my co-​workers at Da-​Les Auto Body right around the corner. The customer service is extremely super friendly. The really make you feel right at home in their store. And when I requested a box for all my breads they didn’t esitate to accomidate me request.
My bill came out to be $ 11.30 and for that I got so many awesome goodies to bring back to work to start out day off right !
So if you life in Sunnyvale and want to try a good change from the usual donuts and pastries … check out Ruby’s Pan Dulce ! Enjoy !

I wish I had known about Ruby’s Pan Dulce sooner. I dropped in for a visit today after finding this place on Unilocal a few nights back. I had seen the picture of the yummy looking pastries, including one of my favorites: the churro! When the craving for sugary goodness got to be a bit too much, I couldn’t stop myself from coming here.
The parking lot is pretty spacious, and I made it to the plaza right before the lunch crowd was trickling in. For those who want a bit more clarification on the process of self-​service here:
Grab a pair of tongs and a lunch tray, and then layer the tray with the complimentary paper. Now you can choose from the pastry windows (there are also some pastries — the churros, for example — which are on the counter by the cashier) what you would like! After you’ve finished selecting what you want, bring it over to the cashier counter and the person will ring up your total.
Overall, Ruby’s Pan Dulce is a terrific, inexpensive, and well-​stocked shop that I can’t wait to return to!

Hey diet, go crawl into the hole and do not even think about returning since Ruby’s is amazing. Desserts are about $ 1 each and their cheesecake as well as the shortcake with strawberry jelly are my favorites.
Love. This. Place!
