La Imperial

First of all, they should get 5 stars for the hours they stay open. I stopped in with a friend to see what was offered and was nicely surprised by endless options of patries, bread and cakes freshly baked. We bought a small assortment to try. The man behind the counter was super helpful. I don't know the names of the different items we tried, but, they were all delicious! I'll definitely go back and try other items.

it's hard to find an authentic Mexican bakery in the peninsula area. It's "relatively easy" in San Francisco or San Jose, but in between, there are no good options. Believe me, I've tried them all.This is definitely an excellent choice. It has a variety of pan dulce, bolillo, telera (if you know, you know), and Mexican bisquets!!! And of course, their Conchas are heaven, you can really mess up with Conchas, if you know how to do it, you are authentic. So if you are in the area and want to have a "sweet moment" this is your choice.

Delicious Bionicos. The service is Pleasant. The ambience is nice. The variety of pan dulce and ice cream is good.

I love this panadería and that's why I am raising it to 2 stars instead of 1. We go from Redwood City just to buy pan dulce, teleras and bolillos from here, not to mention the traditional Rosca de Reyes! Their service could improve a little more. But overall we continued to go because of the quality of the bread and it's good price. Unfortunately a couple weeks ago as my dad was eating a telera he encountered a piece of stainless steel scrubber cooked into it. And I called to let them know what had happened and the owner was apologetic. She said she would take care of it. On Friday we went again, stupid of us. As I bite down into a mantecada I felt a hair!!! A hair is in my mouth and I have to spit it out! I had saved the piece of scrubber and the mantecada as well and I took them to the panadería. The owner was very nonchalant, only sort of apologetic. But overall nonchalant. She kept saying that the guys wear a hat. And that they don't have long hair. But the hair was cooked INTO the mantecada! And I pointed at the lady helping in the front, wasn't wearing a hairnet. Neither was she. The ladies in the front always go to the back for stuff. Hopefully she implementes hairnets as I adviced her to do so. Unfortunately I do not have a desire to eat pan dulce in a while thanks to these experiences.

I Usually try not to give bad reviews but this time I had to since it almost ruined our party. I ordered a birthday cake one day before our party. Next day I picked it up, first of all, it didn't look like what I've showed them, I let that go... next, when we cut the cake we found out it was a VERY OLD CAKE!!! ! Not fresh at all... so if you want an old dried cake, go for it..... I will never order cakes from this place!!!

Amazing Pan Dulces, exotic Ice Creams, and tons more? Yup that's La Imperial! A fun place to grab some treats on your way home. You can afford to experiment because most items don't cost more than $1.50. So grab a tray and some tongs and fill a bag up. You can cut up a few things and put out a tasting plate at a holiday party, thrill your friends, and not break the bank!Support your neighborhood businesses, it's a good thing!See ya soon La Imperial!

Open on Christmas Eve. Lots of selection. They take cash, card, and google pay. Delicious pan Mexicano. Highly recommend. Parking lot is a bit small but you can still find parking. Fairly priced for sure.

Poor customer service, they are not friendly at all. Also, the bread is tasteless. Went there once and don't ever think of returning!

Aparte de que no ahi mucha variedad en pan, el servicio es mediocre. Visite esta panaderia por la primera vez hace 3 años y el servicio y pan era mucha mejor. Fui hace pocos mezes. Le pregunté a la doña si todavia hacen la torta de desayuno y me dio una cara como si le viera mentado la mother. Despues de 10 segundos de darme la cara de fuchila me repondio "no. Tenemos los que vez en el menú". Por pendejo regrese have rato y me cobraron más de lo que compre. Le reclame a la muchacha y me cobro lo apropiado. Entiendo que ahí error humano pero....

El sabado pasado fui a comprar pan y no habia Mucha variedad, agarre unas piezas de pan que fueron un total de casi 30 dolares por unas 8 piezas de pan, dije para el cafecito, al llegar a mi casa que vivo hasta el area de Oakland, e doy cuenta que el pan esta todo duro y sin sabor. Trabajo manejando trailers y no tengo tiempo para ir a reclamation, hoy lle y cortezmente le dije a la señora queen contesto el problema qie tuve con su pan y la persona primero me dijo que hablara con el dueño y despues me dijo que hablara con el manager pero no me quiso decir ningun nombre, esto es Bandera de alerts para todos aquellos que compran pan ahi, el pan es viejo. Duro y sin sabor y aparte caro, hagamos conciencia y Ojala les caigan los inspectores para que les revisen el producto y los multen por abusivos.​
