Arandas Bakery

I’m a sucker for a bakery.
This Mexican bakery is Tucked back in a strip mall next to Boot Barn, This is a huge, beautiful, light, airy and spotless bakery one could eat off of the floor!
The colorful piñatas that adorn the ceiling, methodical and brightly lit display cases, and reasonable prices for lil works of art. scream — (atleast to me) — fill up your your tray with goodies to go. Well, I did.
The sad thing is (and our dinner guests agreed) While items are beautiful and they look great. Everything pretty much tastes the same… bland… And I bet the 4 letter main ingredient in all of these goodies, starts with an «l» and ends with a «d». (Perhaps my expectations of desserts lean more on the sweeter side so no fault to what they offered)
The homemade chicken and pork tamales were very good — ½dozen $ 3.50. (Chicken was the favorite)
If you’re in the area. It’s worth your time to Stop in and check out.

A friend brought us pork and chicken tamales. They were so so good! Maybe even the best I have ever eaten… Thinking of my next stop there!

Amazing Mexican bakery! Tons of breads, sweet treats, cakes, etc. They have tamales too, but I have not tried them. Super cheap too! I always pile up my platter and am shocked at checkout. I go at least once a week and highly recommend it!

Great Mexican bakery. Fresh bake breads, pastries, and cookies. Very reasonable price, I recommend you stop in and find out for yourself.

What an awesome bakery! I’ve lived in the area for many years and drive by here all the time… and only now have I checked it out. It’s a large Mexican bakery, very clean inside, and so many pastries to choose from, I was honestly overwhelmed. This is the first panaderia I’ve been to and didn’t know where to start. Walked around the entire bakery looking at every baked good, I didn’t know what to pick, where to start, or even how to hold it? Finally I saw somebody grab a metal round tray and tongs… duh, I felt like an idiot. I picked up a pineapple empanada, tres leches cake, taquito de fresas, and some tube-​like pastry with a cream in it (sorry this was 2 days ago and forgot the name). This place opens early and closes late at night which is when I went. The people working there were very friendly and helpful, esp since I’m a total noob.
That tube like pastry has a very crispy shell on the outside and lightly sweet. Just the right amount of butter and flour without making you feel heavy or nauseous. Dusted with confectionary sugar and trails of thin chocolate. It was filled with a light cream. It looked like a horn you would want to blow the cream at somebody’s face like Tom did to Jerry in the Midnight Snack episode. The pineapple empanada was similar with a crispy light pastry shell and sweet pineapple filling. Surprisingly a light and delicious dish. The taquito de fresas was basically a churro filled with a strawberry paste. It was coated with sugar. No bueno. The tres leches, it was sweet, flavorful, and also surprisingly light. Which is an incredible feat given its drenched in condensed milk.
Good stuff!

I stumbled across this adorable bakery right off Frazier in a quite deserted strip center. So being the adventurous Unilocaler that I am I decided to check it out. Wow I found the most delightful authentic Mexican Bakery.
It was good size with most of all the traditional Mexican baked goods. It also had 2 kinds of sausage kolaches for $ 1.30 each. I saw many cases of sliced desserts which I really wanted to buy one of everything. The flan slice was nicely pie cut with a strawberry on top and the flan sauce nicely cascading down it. They had beautiful cakes and they make beautiful special order wedding cakes.
They had 2 huge pots of freshly made in house tamales which you have a choice of pork or chicken. Price was $ 3.50 for 6 tamales. They were medium in size, extremely tasty, authentic and no fillers. Just yummy meat and masa. Five star + for these babies!!! Four of the six would make for a delightful quickie lunch on the run. If you ate all 6 at once you’d definitely would be stuffed. These are Conroe’s little secret gems! Lol, these tamales actually tasted very lean and healthy which is unique for tamales overall. Oh yah I would drive from The Woodlands just to get more of these.
Nice clean bakery with very friendly and helpful ladies to assist you. If you need a wedding cake this is definitely a bakery that specializes in them. I have had no experience with their wedding cakes but the front window is full of wedding cakes. If you’re in need of a party piñata just look up at the ceiling and have at it. Awesome selection.
Ok actually 4.5 star because the Mexican pastries I had were very good but I’ve had slightly better in Houston. The sausage kolaches were a bit fatty but everything else was 5 star all the way. If you live anywhere within about 20 minutes of this bakery it’s really worth checking out They have 4 more bakeries in Houston and supply the pastries to Taqueria Arandas.
