La Mejor Bakery: Reviews & Ratings
I absolutely love their Mexican cheesecake. I get this every time I go there. It's lightly sweet and thick (but not heavy) in texture. Just so you know, they sell two kinds of cheesecake, the wedge-shaped European style (in the far case from the door) and the brick-shaped Mexican style (in the case closest to the door). I'm reviewing the Mexican style. I haven't tried their European style, so can't comment on that one. I also really like their bread pudding. Both the cheesecake and the bread pudding are consistently good. I also once tried their bread with butter. Yes, they have a thick slice of bread slathered in butter. Not really my thing, but it was good enough and if that's what you're looking for, you'll likely be happy with it. Depending on who's behind the counter I might get waited on in English or Spanish, but it's friendly service and it's all good.
Came by early to pick up sweet bread to take to work. It was about 6:30am and their display stands were packed with fresh bread and cookies. They were busy so early in the morning with people coming in before work. The couple working the counter were so sweet. They gave me a few extra cookies too.
El único lugar donde conseguí pan de muerto rico, y al final la seño me regaló 2 galletas :)
Whenever I'm in the area and taking Bart I stop here on my way out. The Mexican pastries are pretty good yesterday's pineapple pastry was really good! And I bought a couple tamales this time. I've only had one tamale so far and I really enjoyed it for lunch today. This place if I'm quoting you right has legacy status with San Francisco. They've been in business for 30 years and they showed me the certificate on the wall, how awesome is that! Coming here you'll always see it a lot of local patrons getting their coffee and pastries and possibly tamales. It has an old school San Francisco local vibe but they're happy to welcome everybody! So next time you're by this location check them out!
Great sweets and extremely nice staff... upon realizing they were a cash only establishment they gifted me the cookie I planned on purchasing! will always come back and recommending the place to all my friends if they happen to be in the area! :)
Their pan dulce and bolillos are so good! Great selection of all the classics and really friendly staff. I felt at home. It's definitely an authentic panaderia environment.
The shorter lady with blonde curls was really nice to us! She answered our questions, and gave us extra cookies just because she was nice The empanadas were delicious! The place was clean and calm.
LOVE LOVE LOVE this spot and I'm glad it's cash only otherwise I'd be here wayyy too much. The one thing I got here a while ago that I'm obsessed with is their cheesecake bread? pastry. Not sure what else to call it but it resembles the fluffy cheesecakes in Asian stores except it's firmer. It's a huge slice for about $3 and the lady always gives me a cookie or something extra with it which is so sweet. The workers are really friendly here and it has a very neighborhood vibe.
