Very fresh, large variety of yummy pans, and friendly service. Only thing I suggest is, having a hand sanitizer, tray&tong "station" set-up for easier, cleaner process. Love old school pan & cafe shops, would highly recommend.

Love the pan here! Tastes so delicious, especially when you come when they just bake the bread for the day. I love how much topping they have on their conchas. The woman who works there at the front is also super nice and helpful.

Honestly I love this place. From the moment you start to walk in you can just smell all the delicious pans, and more. There are so many delicious selections to pick from, and the workers are so nice. This has and will always be my number one place to stop when I’m in the area. ❤️

The bread here is so phenomenal. I cannot express how good this is, makes me want to sing pan pan, pan pan pan... The bread here is close to Mexico standard. Its not dry, its soft and sweet. Is it gluten free? I dont care. The price are decent, the bread is good. Come here for Great bread.
