Asturias Bakery

Delicious, scrumptious, unique, and very affordable pastries and desserts. I’m never sure what anything is but it all looks tempting to try and the very friendly staff is always happy to answer my questions. My favourite so far is a guava jam filled croissant style pastry. They’re lattes are also delicious and are available to go. Check them out for a treat on the go, a lovely sit down breakfast/​lunch (they also have sandwiches I have yet to try) or stock up for a party/​gift because you can’t beat the prices for the quality.

What a wonderful little gem! I was a bit nervous when I pulled up because the strip center was scary. When I walked in I immediately knew that I had «discovered» a great hole in the wall! The 4 stars is because they were short staffed and I was managing a two year old and didn’t have the patience to chill and enjoy the place. Stop here!

Great chicken and beef empanadas. Their pastries are very good too. The location is a bit out of the way for me but is a must when in the area. Will return.

Great assorted breakfast patries called «facturas» and outstanding frothy lattes! The meringue and peaches desert called «Chaha» is out of this world. A new favorite spot to go with my girlfriends!

Warm environment! A hole in the wall and indeed a gem in the area! Nice place to have a quiet moment away from a busy midtown downtown or montrose! Cheap desserts and coffees! Well i give 4 stars because thats my perfect score! And the neighboring stores are so-​so! This is the only decent place there!

This one has to be the best pastry shop around and in many miles. The empanadas are to die for… the sandwiches de miga triples and the facturas are indescribable. Now they have come up with a sandwich de lomito that sells by the dozens. I do not want to go through the entire menu… just go by… you will not regret it.

This place is fantastic. Having lived a good portion of my life in Alief, this place is an example of the fine food offering that are sprouting up after the mad exodus of first time Alief folks. I’ve been visiting this little shop for years and each time it gets better. The owner/​baker is always there and you honestly can’t go wrong with the pastries and sandwiches.

I stopped here this afternoon, and while I was not impressed with the strip mall location, it took just one step inside the store to transform my impression! The locale became a petit café with people conversing over Argentinian coffee and pastries, and the cashier even recommended a sweet, powdered phyllo filled with cajeta/​dulce de leche and provided me with a box to put in my dozen facturas, which are a steal compared with some overprized panaderias like Arandas and Maytena. 5 stars!!!

This place is so delicious!
Awesome pastries – every one of them I have tried has been mouthwatering.
Coffee is so flavorful!
And, the owner is so nice. Not gushy nice, just plain nice.

This place is so good, I love their pastries and the ambiance. It’s not a big place, but I think that’s what I like about it. I’ve never tried anything like their pastries and they’re all very delicious. Definitely would recommend to someone looking for something sweet.

Asturias is a quaint and cozy little place, with amazing Argentine food and pastries. I have frequented this place for 3 years now, and recently noticed that they have made a few changes. They have added a little ambience to this small space, making it more inviting. The Argentine pastries/​food are very well displayed making them even more appetizing. This place is a must try in my book.

I had never heard of this bakery before visiting, but my plans to meet my sister at Marini’s Original empanada house on a Sunday were thwarted by it being closed. I used the Unilocal app on my phone to find Argentine Empanadas and discovered this bakery so we ventured out. The website wasn’t working and no one answered when I called to confirm they were open, but we decided to try it anyway.
It’s in a tiny shopping center and easy to overlook if you aren’t specifically looking for it but it was well worth the trip. They are open until 2 p.m. on Sundays.
We ordered a dozen beef empanadas (some to take home) that were the way I like, flavorful and spiced with egg and olive inside. Nicely sized and so delicious.
We also had Proscutto and cheese sandwiches that are made without crusts and you can get them either toasted or plain. You can order individual or just pick up a pack of sandwiches.
The desserts are also wonderful. We had a variety of them and filled up on dulce de leche flavored goodness.
Groceries in the side, and only a few small tables but a lovely way to spend a Saturday afternoon chatting and eating.

Definitely a must go to place if you are craving Argentinian pastries! This place is definitely better than Marini’s empandas!

Good coffee and cheap pastries.

People who give this place less than the five stars it deserves just don’t know enough about Argentine bakeries.
It’s not a place to buy bread or cakes. It’s more of a café to nibble on sweets or simple savory baked items.
That being said — you look for facturas (Argentine Danish pastries that taste the same but are in different shapes), empanadas (which are delicious here and better than the other Argentine bakery on Westheimer), sandwiches (which are oversized and good), and Italian coffee (Lavazza brand). And these are the things you typically find in Argentine bakeries in Argentina.
Granted, it is not much to look at outside and it’s not terribly pretty inside — but this place offers a lot for a bakery — and I dare say that they offer more than the other Argentine bakeries in town with their own market.
And in Christmas time they even bake their own panettone breads. I’d advise anyone to stop here for light munchies and coffee with friends and to try their delectable empanadas.

Me encantó. Lo unico es que tienen que ser mas competitivos con los precios. Venden muy caro el dulce de batata, es mas caro que Manenas… La Yerba la tienen mas cara que en todos lados.
YO no tengo problemas en ir a comer a ese sitio siempre y cuando Manenas este cerrado. Fui en Domingo porque Manenas estaba cerrado y no soy gran fanatica ni de Marinis ni de Café argentina.
Por otro lado, me parecio un sito lindo, limpio y de buena calidad. Agrego, si volvere siempre y cuando Manenas este cerrado o si estoy por la zona.
Pan de Migas estuvo muy rico, mi café estuvo rico aunque le falto mas café.
Muy buen trabajo… Bajen algunos precios y todo bien.

Asturias Bakery provides you with the following geographic attributes: inconvenient location off of the highway, not much room to sit down at to enjoy your goods, and very boring scenery… strip mall, to be sure.
All of the pastries were a little too simple, and they were pretty much just variations of the exact same fillings, dough, and frosting. Fortunately, they are cheap here at this Argentinian bakery.
I would not recommend this specific bakery to those looking for a true bakeshop, but I guess if you somehow found yourself off of Westpark and are really craving some flaky delicacies, you may want to give it a shot. Otherwise, I don’t foresee there being much of a reason to seek out these goods unless you can find them outsourced to an obscure coffee shop or something.
