Great - Edit
-Challah bread - great 9/10, could be a little more moist
Read more-apricot Danish - good 7/10, could have used more custard and a sugar glaze on the dough part
-Tres leches cake - great 9/10
-banana custard tart - very good 8/10 but a little heavy on the banana
-apple turnover - great 9/10
Even uses sugar not refined with animal bone char!

Excellent - Edit
I love this place, it’s got a huge variety of fresh baked goods, including separately packaged gluten-free items for those GF folks. Get the tamales, get the cookies, get everything. We love to pop in before a hike or a roadtrip for some snacks to enjoy.

Good, but not what I expected - Edit
I was excited to get a large fruit tart from here, but was disappointed to find that it was missing the custard that normally comes in a tart. It was filled with whipped cream and topped with fruit. It looked pretty, just wasn’t really done correctly.
Read moreIf you order from here, I definitely suggest asking about the details of your baked goods so you don’t have any surprises, given that their menu isn’t online.

Legit bakery - Edit
I was in the area and decided to give this spot a taste test. From the looks of it, this bakery looks like a multi generational family owned bakery. They have a commercial sized oven that’s looks legit and the place smells great. Lots of choices to choose from. We had the banana cream pie, tamales and the rugelach. The pastries were not overly sweetened and tasted nice and fresh. The bean and green chili tamale was solid and the masa had great flavor.

Amazing treats and more! - Edit
Everything I have ever had here is delicious. Conchas, cookies, pies and all the treats are amazing. And the tamales and empanadas are amazing too. Everything is always delicious and fresh and reasonably priced. And there is easy parking! Also, don't skip the pre-packaged cookies. They have these amazing flaky ones that are addicting!
Read morePros: Great selection of treats, Savory and sweet foods, Easy parking

Cookies and empanadas. Potato, the mushroom and apple empanadas were good. Ginger cookie my favorite. If you want Tamales come early or they sell out.

Amazing, Don’t miss out! - Edit
I LOVE this place so much. It’s in an unassuming little strip next to a Thai restaurant, but the things they make are all top quality. They have cream cheese danishes, eclairs, tarts, tiramisu, cookies, concha, tamales, and more. They recently started offering cheesecake and I ran over as soon as I heard. It is incredible. It is the first plant based cheesecake I’ve tried that tastes exactly like the stuff I remember from when I ate dairy. The shop is run by a small family and they are always so sweet. There’s nothing I wouldn’t recommend here.

So good - Edit
Don’t sleep on this place! They just added vegan cheesecake and it’s bomb. Their danishes are amazing too, as are the fruit tarts/pies. It’s family-run and most everything is fab! The brownies and cookies are my least fave.

I want to love it... - Edit
Went in for the 1st time and was very excited to spend some money and support a local vegan Mexican bakery! But, the kids of the owners made it seem like we were a huge inconvenience. We bought our stuff and ordered a Rosca then drove home and all said - welp that was a bummer.
Read moreI won't give anyone my business just because. I want to leave there feeling appreciated. It's a two way street. It's LA as well, I can go to 20 other vegan bakeries within driving distance or just save the money and stay home.
ZERO vibe in there. Almost like we were a bother.
Will take alot to get us or my clients back.
Pros: 100% vegan, Tastes great
Cons: Attitudes were terrible, Tight parking lot
JennKub
I’m sorry to hear that was your experience. I’ve been there probably 40+ times and haven’t ever felt any bad energy from the family that owns and works there. Sometimes Maria has a hard time hearing with all the ovens and machines wizzing behind her. And I disagree about being able to go to many nearby places because this is one of a kind.

It was hard to choose because everything looked good, but I picked a concha. It was fluffy and not too sweet.

Excellent Opportunity to Try Mexican Desserts - Edit
I live near many Mexican bakeries but have never had an opportunity to try anything before visiting Toluca. A great selection of vegan pastries, cakes, and cookies, including a section for gluten-free treats. Enjoyed the GF Mexican wedding cookies, blueberry Danish, and Tres Leches cake.

Tastes Light - Edit
A few weeks ago I got to try a couple of their cookie varieties. Here's my Toluca Bakery review. Both the hametashan and the ginger n' cream cookies were very good. Tasted lighter and less sugary than your typical cookies. Really enjoyed them. Would like to try more of their other treats.
