La Favorita Bakery

I’ve been coming here since I was little. whether its after church or at night time, this was the spot. I love the little conchitas so much that no other place can compare to how much I love those. same thing with La Rosca de Reyes (January 6^th) They are so sweet and incredible, and again nothing can compare. People actually wait in line for hours trying to get them (no joke). I don’t live in the area anymore, but whenever I do, I always stop by.
But, lately the service is horrible. The two women in the front have horrible attitudes. They never smile at you, or say hello, they do however tell you the price and hold out thier hands expectantly. (Just to troll them, I get out my coin purse and count the coins slowly and doube check to make sure I get the right amount before giving it to them — sorry but no not really they deserve it)
I don’t remember if it was always like this. But goodness, they are going to lose a ton of customers if they keep at it.
5 stars for the bakery
–2 for service

The mini conshitas are really good, but costumer service is really bad.
In addition, prices are not ever displayed, and when you ask the cashier you can tell they are annoyed by this question.

Mexican bread’s not as good as it used to be. They’ve cut the size and some ingredients to make them smaller, more crumbly, and less tasty.

Great cakes and ‘pan dulce’ I tried this cake at a birthday dinner and I was impress. We had the chocolate mousse and it was just perfect. Not over powering, not over sweet, very moist. I’ve gone back to purchase a cake for another occasion… everyone loved it. The services was also nice. The cashier was friendly helpful with my questions.

This is the ONLY bakery where I absolutely love the bread but I have not gone in a year simply because they have the WORST customer service. They never look happy and give rude response when asking a question. If it weren’t for these cashiers I would go back again.

Very Good Bakery but Customer Service is Horrible. I gave the lady a $ 100 bill then she did the stretch test wrong and tore it. She then looked at me and said «it’s fake», so I told her «I got it from the bank and you did the stretch test wrong» then she said «Oh, we don’t even accept $ 100 bills.» I don’t know why she accepted it then. She didn’t even say sorry or look at me. She knew she messed up. I should have listen to the other reviews on bad service!

As much as I love their bread every time you walk into this bakery you are always hoping that the two ladies who work there aren’t there. They have horrible customer service. Everytime you want to ask them a question they respond with a nasty attitude or ignore you. They seriously need to get rid of these two ladies it truly makes you never want to go back there ever again. Just the other day we bought some roscas and the cashier charged my father for an extra one. Went the next day to try and fix the issue the cashier denied charging my dad extra. I’m guessing the store owner was there and I asked him to look at the cameras to see that she did in fact charge an extra rosca and he said he would call me back haven’t heard from him since. This place is the worst when it comes to customer service and then you got the cashiers who are bandits what a shame. This doesn’t even deserve one star.

The bread is pretty good. However, the management is incredibly rude!!! I would give this place at least four stars but every time I go they are not friendly. It makes me think twice about buying from their business. The place looks a bit dirty too.

LOVE THE CONCHITAS! best ones ever. It’s the spot to go to in Gardena!
but the cashier.horrible. Everyone who goes knows exactly who she is.
la cajera es la peor! SIEMPRE.

La Favorita bakery is simply one of my favorites on Gardena Blvd. And for one good reason and that’s the conchitas :) OMG they are so delicious and soft. The best !! I would recommend them to anyone.

My family and I have been coming here for years, but I’m so over the customer service. The owner of this place needs to get new cashiers ASAP; especially the oldest one, she is the biggest grump ever. The bread is delicious, I recommend the conchas, but seriously the cashier needs to go.

They had a limited amount of bread. the cashier told me to go back two hours later because the only baker was not there :(Yummy bread but bad customer service

Los mejores bolillos! Las conchitas de chocolate son tan deliciosas que se terminan pronto. Buenos precios y muy buen pan — todo es muy bueno pero mi familia no come bolillos mas que los de ahi.

I like this little bakery. It’s super close to my church so I can walk here and buy some bread.
You walk in to see a bunch of bread from which you can pick and choose. Just pick up a tray and tongs that are on a side table, and load up!
They, unfortunately, do not have the names of the breads nor the prices listed. That was a little in convenient, bc I like to know what I’m getting and what may or may not be side the breads.
The last time I went, my friend and I got 11 breads but it cost 9-​something. Less than 10 bucks for 11 breads? That’s awesome yo!
Tip: GET THE CREAM CHEESE W/​JALAPENO BREAD!!! BOMB!!!

I absolutely love La Favorita’s pan dulces– ALL OF THEM! The bolillos are best around, and the conchas are always soft & fresh! My favorites are the elotes so yummy and soft center!
Fresh pan at 6AM, 1PM, and again at 5PM.

A hole in the wall that you should not pass by without trying their chocolate conchas (the little ones are absolutely the best, you eat them in 3 bites — but every bite is so worth it)!!!
Their bolillos or birotes are hands down the best — the taste is awesome — they are so good you can eat them plain — or you can do as my son does; stuff them with queso fresco and rajas de jalapeños — HEAVEN!!!
Everything in there is good — I know, I know, their customer service is not much — but are you going to eat their customer service — NO! Buy their bread — eat and enjoy the true goodness of a pan dulce! ant at a great price — to me that is all the customer service I need — a good product at a great price!
You know their pan dulce and bolillos are good when you walk in and have to ask if they already run out — which happens often; yeah they are that good!
Love love love this place :)

I love this place! They always have fresh goods and extremely cheap prices! It’s a pretty small place but it’s never really crowded.

I was wildly disappointed. This little panaderia is practically hidden on the Boulevard. First of all, the employee was INCREDIBLY unhelpful and unfriendly. And then, the cookies are dry as all get out. I did buy a pineapple pastry — sort of a tube of flakey pastry filled with pineapple — which was delicious. It is the only thing saving this joint from 1 star status. Skip it people. Overrated.

This is a small hole in the wall. My father and cuzn actually recommended me here. first impression ah not impressed, breads freshly made, decent variety, price totally fair. I went home and tasted my sweet bread ahhhh i was in heaven it was warm, soft, fresh and Delicious. I am hook this place is affordable and Delicious.

I think I’ve tasted the bread of the Gods…
As someone who grew up on pan dulce and has visited numerous bakeries in L.A., this has got to be the best pan dulce I have ever tasted.
My boyfriend raved about this place and I was skeptical.
The bakery doesn’t look like much, it’s small, and looks pretty outdated.
I walked in and picked a few pieces of bread not thinking anything of it. We paid for it and went to the car. I opened the bag and took a bite of a concha (which was still warm… at 7pm!!)
I immediately got out of my car and went back in to get another bag full of bread. IT WAS THAT GOOD.
I live in El Segundo, and would totally drive to Gardena just for this bread.

I was in the area and was in the mood for a sweet snack and noticed this place. It’s really tiny inside but the stuff looked and smelled good. I always judge a bakery by trying the conchas with the yellow sugar topping. In this case the bread as sweet, light, and a bit sugary. I rate this as the best I have ever had. Next time I’m going to buy a whole bunch. I also bought a pastry with pineapple filling. It tasted kind of like a croissant. It was really good too.
