Pancho Anaya Mexican Bakery

Pancho Anaya continues to be a sweet haven, although prices have seen a slight uptick in recent years, with most items still holding the line at $1. The churros and the unforgettable jalapeño cream cheese breakfast rolled dough delights are irresistible delights that keep me coming back.The freshly made flan, a daily treat, is a testament to their commitment to quality. While seating is available, the KW location, in my opinion, offers a more inviting atmosphere for sitting, chatting, and savoring coffee and pastries. The staff's friendliness adds a warm touch to the entire experience, making Pancho Anaya a delightful spot for indulging in affordable and delicious treats.

We stopped by to get my wife's Birthday, Tres Leches Cake, as promised. Delicious! I also picked up another sack of cinnamon and sugar huaraches. I love 'em! They are addictive!

I stopped by here a couple of Sunday's ago with my wife. We were looking for a coffee shop somewhat close to the airport and I was having trouble finding one. However I did see that Pancho Anaya Mexican Bakery offered coffee and who doesn't like heading to a bakery? I can't say that I have ever been in a Mexican bakery before and so I didn't know what to expect. This bakery is located in what seemed to be a more industrial part of the city and was quite large. Immediately upon walking inside you are able to see a small seating area off to the left. To the right is where the good stuff is as they have pastries and baked goods galore all presented in clear cabinets. The way that it works here is that you grab a cafeteria tray lined with what looks like parchment paper and go around opening the cabinets and putting whatever you choose onto your tray with tongs. If I remember correctly everything that I saw here cost .68 making it a crazy value, at least to me. They have a great selection as well and my wife and I left the store with a strawberry churro, pineapple empanada and a Feite Figura (a pastry filled with chocolate). Oh yeah, I did get a coffee too but by the time we had finished looking around I had almost forgot about it. In any case the coffee that I had here was really good, especially for the price. It wasn't anything crazy but had a strong and smooth flavor which was exactly what I was looking for. As for the baked goods they were also quite good. I have never had a fruit filled churro before and even the strawberry flavoring tasted a little fake (I expected this at that price) they did well to use an amount that gave a good flavor without taking over the churro. It was the pineapple empanada which I really enjoyed though. The outside shell of it had a good flavor to it while the pineapple portion was tasty as well.The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. Both my wife and I absolutely loved this place and I imagine we would visit it quite frequently if we lived closer.

I like how all the Pancho Anaya bakeries follow the same pattern; they're all uniform which is great! I don't have to choose between them, they're all equally as awesome. Huge space. Large variety of bread and sweet stuffs. Several Mexican products for sale. Yummy cakes...Bread is such a tradition and I love that they highlight that it has been a family business for 5 generations. That's a long time! They're proud of their original recipes and that everything is made from scratch. Like my nephew says, yummy yummy in my tummy.

Wow. We are so glad we found this place. Owned by five generation of bakers and it's a family business. Never have I seen pastry with this amazing price. Wish I could eat more. Gift shop inside the business sells classy craft.

Walk in, grab a tray and some tongs since it's a self service place- if you have questions about what fillings are in what pastries, don't be shy and just ask! The employees are happy and friendly - bonus points if you speak Spanish - they love that!My favorite items are the churros - filled with strawberry jelly or bavarian cream (something similar), their peanut butter cookies, their bright pink sugar cookies, and their sugared donuts.Think of a glazed donut from Daylight - then double its size and instead of glaze, they roll in sugar. Why don't other donut shops make these? I don't want a sugared cake donut, I want the raised sugared one!Do yourself a favor and go here!!How can I forget the Tres Leches? Buy a tres leches cake parfait cup - chocolate or vanilla cake, tres leches sauce, and whipped cream. Or order a cake - different sizes- can even get a jelly filling in the larger cakes.

So yummy! This is my first visit to this location and everything about it is perfect. The place is clean, the service was warm and friendly, and all of the goods were clearly labeled and plentiful. As always, I recommend the jalapeño cream cheese croissant and the churros, but everything is delicious.

The. Best. An awesome array of traditional treats & wonderful service. You can't beat the prices--oh my stars--such price points for such giant portions. Great Wall of history in the cafe seating area too. Can't rave about this place enough!

I have lived by Pancho Anaya for 3 years and I am ashamed that it took me so long to finally try it out. Have you ever met someone and thought to yourself, "I feel like I've known you my whole life"? If so, go here and tell me you don't experience the same feeling. Sweets are usually tricky for me, I either really like them or they're just too much. Pancho Anaya's Mexican pastries are the perfect balance of sweetness to satisfy every taste bud on your body. "Your body? You only have taste buds on your tongue, Bridget...?" Well maybe, but I tasted how good these treats were as soon as I picked them up. They are absolutely scrumptious. I couldn't pick a more fitting word.The bakery is very clean, spacious, and unique compared to other bakeries. The pastries are all lined up in a U-shape, you grab a tray and tongs and just go around and select your goods then pay for them up front. (That's a big plus for any introverts out there.) they have fresh made bread that you can pick up as well. The staff were very friendly.My girlfriend got a Columbian coffee and I asked her how it was, she said "really good." I mean come on, how much more straight to the point can you get? I'll be back next time to try the tres leches cakes they have. Also if you aren't yet convinced, their pastries are incredibly treat ranging from 64 cents to under $2. Way better deal than many other bakeries in town that hike their prices up significantly. The prices don't speak to their quality, the pastries speak for themselves.

Very delicious pastries and great pricing. It's also great that it's near my home and convenient
