La Colimense Bakery

My family and I purchased some great Mexican bread here. Unfortunately, I had a bad experience with the owner/​manager of this panadería. I originally went in because I needed a specialty birthday cake for my daughter’s 18^th birthday party. I texted her the pictures along with a message of what I needed. She never texted me back. I consider that very rude and bad business. Even though the bread was good, I will not be returning.

I have been there a couple of times on a Saturday morning after hitting the farmers market. They are nice people, and the style of the bakery is very much like you would find in Mexico. I like the treats, which are not as sugary as typical American ones (e.g. a doughnut shop) and more like traditional Mexican ones (which one would expect).

I was searching for a bakery/​panaderia for some Mexican sweet bread. Came here for the tamales also. I was searching for the sweet corn tamales and bingo I found them here. They are delicious not too sweet and not too greasy. I also got rajas (cheese & chile) tamales. Sweet bread is very good too. They have the bolillo filled with cheddar cheese/​ham 1 slice of jalapeño.
They also have fresh fruit. Juice/​sodas. Fruit & vegetables shakes. Coffee. And of course they make cakes, maybe next time.

This place is somewhat hidden & has amazing cakes & tamales are delicious. The owner is very nice & she is very creative.

Still open. Just not on Sundays. Only until 2 pm on Saturdays. Best tamales n town. Very sweet and tasty cookes.

I know the owner of this place. She’s so friendly Nice and sweet. The bread here is so Good.
Cakes are Amazing Good!
We been coming to her even before she opened up this business.
So we been ordering cakes for more than 20yrs. Not once has she messed up on our order or Anything!
Now during seasonal winter she sells tamales and fresh champurado.
This place is easy to find right off the 91frwy on Main St across from the corona mall on 3^rd St.
It’s a little place with a table chairs in it.
She’s done so many cakes for our family party’s and best part is cake tasting.
Feel free to stop by and place your Order

I think they’ve shut down. The last 3 times I’ve been by, they weren’t open and no one seemed to be in. Also, no phone service.

This place is great! Have gotten my last three cakes from here. I have gotten the tres leches cake with fresh strawberry and banana filling. This is a whole in the wall place, I was not expecting much but boy was I wrong. Best tres leches I have ever had. The cakes were very moist and it were not overly sweet. In all three parties all the guest were asking me where I had bought the cake. Now besides the amazing taste they do an amazing job decorating it, they really try. They exceeded my expectation. The best part about this place is that you get a great tasting and looking cake for a very reasonable price.

Called for a last minute cake this morning. It was tasty, moist, and pretty. Very cheap too! While I was there I tried some pan dulce, it was kind of stale. I bet if you’re there when he bakes them they’d be great.

This bakery makes the best cakes. They are delicious. I use them for all of your celebrations. I highly recommend them,

This little hole in the wall Mexican bakery is really good. It is located in a residential area so it is kind of hard to find. The inside of the bakery is really small. All the baked goods are inside of a glass case on the back wall. The people who work there let you take a tray and get the baked goods out of the case yourself.
The baked goods at La Colimense are all made fresh daily in the kitchen in the back of the bakery. I have tried almost everything that this place has to offer (they do not have a huge selection) and I’m happy to say that I was very happy with it all. The sugar cookies were big, fresh and soft. They have an amazing jalapeño cheese loaf. It is stuffed with lots of fresh Mexican cheese and tons of real spicy jalapeños. My favorite thing on the menu is a pumpkin filled empanada. It is fabulous. The crust is nice and flaky and the pumpkin filling is amazing. It really tastes like a homemade pumpkin pie.
The prices here are wonderful. Everything is about a dollar or less. Even the huge jalapeño loaf is only one dollar. The people who work here are really friendly. Since it is family owned and operated I see the same two women and one little girl every time I go.
The reason I gave this place a four star review instead of a five star is the selection of baked goods is really small and at times they take a long time to replace items in their glass case after they run out.
I highly recommend this place to anyone who like home made Mexican baked goods. Make sure and try a pumpkin empanada. I know you will love it.
