Rosita Bakery

Their Mexican pan dulce was outstanding, and their French Rolls were made Mexican style (aka birote) and the Cuban version. But this place is now closed. their lease was up and not renewed. they have several other locations but I just don’t see myself driving far out for their pastries.

I really love the guyaba and cheese pastries, and their plain bread rolls. Last 3 cakes did not taste as good as long ago. sadly they appear to have shut down. Sign is down, and even the website is down.

I’ve been going to this bakery for 20 years and as the prices have gone up the quality of the product has gotten terrible every year. Today, I ordered a cake as soon as the bakery opened at 7 a.m. It was a simple ¼ strawberry cake. I was asked by the man that answered the phone if I wanted a floral decoration. I declined because the cake was for a student at my school who had requested a strawbery cake for his 17^th birthday today. I asked for some white and blue trimming only. The first horrible thing was 1. The royal blue trimming that they used left the birthday boy, my coworkers and mine’s teeth and hands terribly stained. (It wasn’t until I got home and took a long shower that I was able to get the stains of my hand.) I called the manager to tell him about the quality of his trimming product, the manager blew me off totally and told me that what I was saying was not «logic». He told me that all darker colors used at ALL bakeries stain teeth always. I disagreed and he continued to call what I was saying «not logic» and offered me a 20 percent discount off my purchase. When I tried explaining to him that that was not what I wanted (I just wanted to make sure he understood how cheap his product was) he insulted me by saying that if I wanted my money back that was not what he was going to do. I told him that had not been the point of my call and told him good bye because there was no point talking to him. 2. Eventhough I placed the cake order in the morning so that the cake would be fresh, the bread was dried and not moist as I remembered it. 3. When I checked my bank account tonight I noticed that the bakery had charged my debit card the amount of $ 53 dollars not once, but 3 freaking times!!! I called the bank to see if it had been an error on my banks part and they confirmed that Rosita’s had charged my card 3 different times. So in summary I would not recommend Rosita’s Mediocre, no, Horrible cakes. Spare your taste bud and wallets from these thieves!

I went to the bakery to check out their cakes. I wanted to sample so I bought a slice of trimasu and vanilla coffee. They both where moist and had a nice look to them. They also had mocha which I didn’t try. Although the trimasu tasted like it should, the vanilla coffee had a off after taste. So if you live close then this is decent place to buy a cake. Their prices are competitive and their not half bad.

Great service and the pastries were amazing! Only problem is the location, it’s so crowded & hidden in that area.

horrible customer service by the owner i was charge twice on my statement and was never apologized the cake was very simple. I give a star the cake was good but would not go back horrible service to ppl

We arrived during a dinner rush. There were people waiting outside the door and all the tables were full. They greeted us at the door and told us it would be a 15 minute wait. After about 6 minutes we were at our table! The food was to die for! Super moist, intricate flavors, melted in your mouth. A big 5 stars!

The Cuban Food is super Good, Garbanzo Bean soup is the best!!!

I bought a Tres Leches cake for my daughters 1^st birthday party in july and the cake was bad the milk was sour and it taste horrible, I immediately took it back to the bakery they checked the date in the bottom of the cardboard and the cake was over two weeks old they didn’t hesitate to replaced the cake and gave me a 20% off coupon for another purchase. We’ve been going to this bakery for years so I thought it was just an overlook and a mistake. Recently I purchased a cake for my grandfathers 93 birthday and much to my surprise the cake was bad again. I took it back to the bakery and a young cuban man was very nice about it and agreed to make me a new one in 20 minutes. Now a few seconds later and older cuban man comes out and tells me in a very nasty and rude way that the cake taste sour because of the ‘mousse’ that he thought it was good, I told him to check the date and he told me being sarcastic that a cake can last a whole year and still be good. Then in a very rude and obnoxious tone he told me «Y que tu quieres’, I answer the same way «Un pastel» then he said «Ahorita» y replied «Si», quickly his son I assume the young bald cuban jumped in and said they were already making a new one. This place has very good cakes and bread but there customer service suck, and I think the older cuban needs to work on his social skills or retire. I will never again go back to this bakery and neither will my Family, I guess I will do more business with Elizabeth bakery in South Gate which they are just as good if not better.

Can you say, «BETTER than Porto’s?» Yes their Pastelitos de Guayaba (Guava Pastries) are better than Porto’s.
I’m so happy to have found this place. I definitely want people to know about it to help the economy of the environs of my old neighborhood.
Sadly they are the most expensive Pastelitos I have purchased — at $ 0.85 each… My only real complaint. They are shaped like Porto’s and Tropicana’s Pastelitos. The filling is really good. The filling is similar to that of Gigi’s (my favorite Cuban bakery) and Tropicana. It is tangier than the filling at Porto’s which to me seems to taste more of over ripened guavas.
I did not check to see if they sell Cuban espresso. I did not see any area to hang out and eat your pastry with a nice Café Cubano anyway. Maybe you can do this in the restaurant which is part of this business which is next door.
I like them as much as Tropicana which as far as I know is the most popular Cuban Bakery in Los Angeles among Cubans. Don’t believe the hype… the best Cuban food is in the Southeast of Los Angeles!!! I grew up in this area and well know that the most sizable Cuban community is in the Southeast.
I’m definitely coming back to try their sandwiches!

2. Tropicana in Downey

I LOVE the cakes here, they are SO delicious (the Robert Special is the BEST) I bought it for my fiancees graduation brunch EVERYONE that came 20+ people LOVED it. So we decided to order the same cake for our wedding :]
Try it you wont be disappointed

I would give this place 3.5 if I could. I’m not a fan but it’s more than ok. I do like their tres leches but sometimes it can be overly sweet if they get to crazy with sweet milk. I have tried their pan dulce as well sometimes is soft sometimes it’s just ok. Some days it’s good others day’s a miss but still good generic even on their miss days compared other bakeries. Parking is sometimes is hard on a busy street and meter so brings coins!

Rosita Bakery is a brilliant place to get lunch if you’re in the area. This is the home of the best Cuban sandwich (the roasted pork was insanely good) I have ever had. They don’t skimp on portions, and everything is incredibly flavorful and perfectly done.

My company bought a cake here for a birthday potluck. It was chocolate mousse on top, flan, and cream cheese on the bottom. It was the best cake I ever had. All three layers were delicious and super rich! Huntingon Park is not my favorite place but I’d definitely go back!

I’ve had catering from here several times. Excellent Cuban. Don’t get the Mexican though, it’s so lame in comparison.

Cuban bakery on one side and a full on restaurant on the other? I’m sold.
The pastellito side has the Cuban favorite, a guava and cream cheese pastellito. But what really won me over was their empanada selection on the restaurant side and their Chicken Sandwich.
The chicken sandwich is rotisserie style chicken with a warm flaky «bollio» bread with purple onions melted cheese, tomatoes, lettuce served with your choice of side.
I can’t stress enough how good this sandwich is.
The restaurant it self seems to be all over the place: Mexican/​Cuban restaurant/​Bakery/​Ice Cream Parlor/​Coffee Shop/​souvenir shop. But for that Goddamn Chicken sandwich, I will forgive them for anything!

This bakery is great!.. The cakes are their specialty. I order all my cakes through them even though I live 30 minutes away. My fav is the white cake with fresh peaches and cream! What makes them different is the recipe they use for the actual cake as well as the filling. Most bakeries want to make their cake look sooo beautiful but don’t care what it taste like… not the case here. I’ve been coming here my whole life (28 years) and it’s only gotten better.

i am a wedding photographer, and just had a slice of their wedding cake, at a wedding i shot. i am not a lover of cake, BUT i really did LOVE eating this cake. it had so many layers of tastiness and flavor! i can taste it right now. i actually want to go and try out the other goodies and maybe have lunch there.
check out their site, i guarantee it’ll make your mouth water!
