La Luz Bakery

I feel like it was hard to review this place. I had read so many great reviews that maybe I went in with too high of expectations. To start, there were way more bakery items here than I expected! It was pretty overwhelming, making it difficult to decide what to get (and to figure out what is good). I picked up a variety of different treats: tres leches cake, flan, churros, concha bread, and rice pudding empanada. The results were mixed.As everyone has said, the tres leches cake is superb and is probably the highlight of what they make at this bakery. The other standout was the rice pudding empanada. There are no signs that say what the different pastries are so we picked it out and took a chance. It ended up being a pleasant surprise. Just perfectly sweet. But, it would be nice if they could put up signs so customers can decide what they want without having to ask staff.The churros were pretty hard and stale by the time we got them in the middle of the day. Perhaps they taste better when they are fresh. Otherwise, would not recommend. The concha bread was huge and super soft! But overall, the flavor was light and was not as sweet as I would have liked. The flan I did not mind, but my family thought it was way too firm.Overall, this bakery was too far out of my way to come back to. There were some standout items, but there were also a lot of other items that were pretty lackluster.

Very friendly staff members. Love their tres leches cakes. The cakes are so yummy, fresh and rich and melts in your mouth. They have fresh breads and donuts which are made everyday and they all taste so good. I have tried almost all breads and all are good. They make wedding cakes as well which you can order.I got to know they have hot chocolate and i need to try that next time for sure.

Bought an old concha for $3..... got home it was hard and dry. Not to mention way over priced. I will not be back and do not recommend this business. Overall, their prices are way higher than similar businesses in the area.

Tamales in the mornings, lots of pastries, cakes, and holiday catering. Go early for tamales. Parking is bad. Friendly, clean, small Mexican bakery

I've only had empanadas arroz so far, but they are absolutely delicious! I was told they are available at noon everyday. Can't wait to try other items!

They have a wide range of yummy treats and have much later hours than your typical bakery. Everything was well labeled so you knew exactly what everything was while looking around. It would be nice if they also had the prices on the description so you know upfront what you are paying. My favorite treat was the chocolate candy sugar cookie. Customers can load up their own tray and then bring it to the register to be bagged up and pay. I would definitely stop by again to try more of their treats!

Always drive by this place small bakery, stopped by today because I wanted a rosca ....the small one was available but looked kinda small so I asked for a medium which they grabbed from the back...I payed and when I got home I realized the medium looked exactly like the small didn't even fill the box either way it was good but I'll stick to Karinas Bakery which is around the corner .

Wow, an amazing selection of cakes, tarts, pastries, and other sweets here presented in a very nice and attractive manner here in beautiful display cases. Browsing through the selection is a joy as the layout of the bakery makes it easy to walk around and check the different options and the air conditioning is turned on to a pleasantly cool temperature.Variety and cheap prices make this an instant draw for anyone living in the area and looking for Mexican pastries. This is made fresh throughout the day for maximum quality. One drawback is the lack of labeling for different items, but this isn't too difficult to figure out from the little differences in decorations or ingredients on each pastry.Surprisingly, one of the best items I tried here was the cake donut. The cake donut is very soft and moist, full of flavor. The yeast donut is huge, though a bit on the dry side. The cakes are extremely moist, with a nice density to them. The sugar cookies are nice and crisp, with a slightly fluffy and firm dough. I really enjoyed the cinnamon cookie, which had a nice strong earthy flavor and was similar to a biscotti. The apricot pastry had a nice filling, almost like a jam although it wasn't too crispy. The milk bread had a nice light sweet milk flavor, and a pleasant texture.Overall, a nice place to get a wide variety of pastries. Good given the price, though many different items were pretty similar in flavor and overall "soft" was a common texture between most items I tried. Still, I enjoyed the items I tried.

Picked up a cane for a Thanksgiving party and Tres leches cake was moist and great . Highly recommend this place .

The cakes, pastries, and food sold is delicious! The tres leches cake is highly recommended!
