La Mixteca Bakery

I feel terrible about writing a bad review of this bakery, so I must explain what my disappointment is about. I have ordered specialty cakes from them before, so this was probably my fourth time ordering a cake from them. Every other experience has been great, and the presentation and flavor has always met my expectations.
Earlier this week I went I into the bakery and ordered a customized birthday cake for a very small gathering. I told them it was for a max of 10 people. They suggested the ¼ sheet cake, which was fine. I ordered the cake, sent them a text of a photo I wanted to use, and that all went smoothly.
When I picked up the cake yesterday, I discovered they had made a ½ sheet instead. Considering the cake was about 4″ thick, this would serve a whole lot of people. I did not want a cake this big, nor did I order a cake this big. This was not my mistake, but they wanted me to pay for their mistake, which was considerably more. I told them this wasn’t right and that I should not be penalized for their mistake. When the lady wouldn’t budge, I told her I would just pick up a cake somewhere else, that I really didn’t need a cake that big anyway. I felt sorry for her, as the owner was the one she called who said to charge me full price. She started to negotiate with me, coming down on the price $ 5 each time. I have an intense dislike for the negotiating process, so I did not appreciate having to play this game. I ultimately ended up buying the cake for more than what I was quoted, but less than the price of a ½ sheet cake. It was good, but I won’t ever go back. I don’t want to do business like this.

I order a birthday cake (tres leches) and I really liked the decoration. The cake was an image tres leches cake an it just looked presentable when it came to taking photographs. The only reason I gave it a 3star was because the taste was not what we expected. The cake had a very very salty taste. It was a little embarrassing when guests started eating the cake and commenting about its salty taste. They should pay a little more attention to that. Other then that cake was good.

La Mixteca bakery is a mix of cake maker, coffee shop, and panadaria. pastries looked huge. missing were the chocolate varietals and the crème filled/​infused ones.
eats: 3 various shapes of pastries (2.5)
–not as fresh as some paadarias. some a day old.
–still tasty and a good bargain
crumbs:
–located in a trangular old shopping center
–passing this intersection enters «mex» commercial area.

For our groom’s cake for our wedding we ordered a Tres Leches cake from La Mixteca. As many of you know, Tres Leches can often be too sweet are too wet. This cake was just absolutely perfect. It tasted exactly how Tres Leches should taste. I only took one star off because the color green they used to decorate this cake was obviously a mistake. I can’t imagine anyone purposely using a yellowish brownish green to decorate a cake. I think they must have had a hard time getting the exact color and probably due to time they just used what they had. Fortunately, the taste of the cake far outweighed the décor and I think we all gained 10 pounds because we couldn’t stop eating it!

This is a 5 star bakery, and the value and service is off the charts! Javier is the owner and personally takes care of things. My wife and I had our wedding cake done, and it was SOOOOOOOO incredibly delicious, not to mention HALF the price of the fancy overpriced competitors!
We just celebrated our one year anniversary, and we took the frozen top of the cake and ate it, and it was just about completely as good as the first day! STILL, after one whole year frozen, mouth watering and soft and delicious! I cannot say enough good things about Javier and his dedication to quality and customer service.
I will ALWAYS be going back for any baking cake type needs I may have, and I HIGHLY recommend you checking it out if you want the highest quality at a more than reasonable price. BRAVO JAVIER!

Yum! I love sweets! This place offers traditional Mexican pastries as well as the classic eclairs and chocolate chip cookies. I love how recently they added a little Mexican market, it is a great place to pick up tortillas and salsa. This place is such a quaint family run operation and the owner is so nice to me every time I come in. Also I heard that he makes amazing wedding cakes… like with figures and scenes on them – rad!
