Panaderia La Reina

My wife and I always make a trip here when we visit our grandparents here in Hemet. Everything here is delicious. Bring cash.

HIDDEN MEXICAN BAKERY! Panadería La Reina is a small Mexican bakery in the heart of Harvard District in Hemet. It's a hole-in-the-wall, so if you drive too fast you'll miss it. It's been a favorite of locals in the valley for many years now. This is my first time back in YEARS and the cookies are STILL top-tier. There's something about having a Mexican chocolate chip cookie in the cold that just feels so right. I visited with a group and was met by a friendly, yet astonished lady who seemed to have never seen so many people in her shop before. My main targets (chocolate chip, sprinkle cookies) were available, however I noticed some of the pastry racks were missing quite a few items. My group was looking for conchas, however only one selection was available. We had to wait a bit for the staff to make some more. The conchas taste good, but I've tasted better in years past. Don't get me wrong, I'm always looking for a chocolate concha fix, it just wasn't warm enough. I wanted a hot drink with it but unfortunately I don't think they sell Mexican hot cocoa here. I spotted a small fridge with refreshments like Jarrito's and other popular Mexican cold drinks. The store is older, but well-maintained. I think it needs an update aesthetically, but overall it was very clean. As for seating, I couldn't find tables inside nor outside (except one, without chairs). La Reina is very much a grab-n-go bakery.

Always fresh. Just wish they had more selection. Get there early cause they do sell out of concha's.

Ooh my people, this quaint little bakery makes wonderful pan dulce. Hemet Ca. God BLESS you!

I ordered a custom 8inch tres leches cake for my grandmas 82 birthday this week. It was beautiful and delicious. It's nice to have an authentic Mexican panaderia nearby. Also picked up some fresh pan dulce!!

Awesome place to go for Mexican sweet breads. My Partner and I went here for the first time last Saturday while we were in Hemet CA. Very good breads. We will definitely go here again. Also reasonably priced. The lady behind the counter was very nice.

This panadería really is those cute little hole in the wall gems!!!! I used to only be able to get real good sweet bread from SA. This is spot on Their empanadas de calabash and semita bread is delish!!!

Raspberry roll was super stale. Not moist at all.I've been here a few times before and it was good. I guess u have to get there early

Fresh and authentic! Best Spot around we've found in the past 3 years. Soft Concha's and everything tastes great.

The bread is delicious. I go for the elothes that are filled with chocolate filling. These are the best!! I love them. You have to go early to be sure you get some cuz they run out by the evening.. I've been to other bakeries but this is by far the best So when you're looking for something to fulfill your craving for something sweet. Visit this one I promise you won't be disappointed.
