Dane's Bakery

They have great pan and different custards y flans

Great little panadería. Limited selection but their pan de muerto is delicious when in season. Their Reyes is also yummy!

Some of the best concha’s I’ve found in Sacramento. Large, fresh and delicious. Danes is the real deal!

I absolutely love and crave the sugar cookie with pink glaze. The cookie is not like other sugar cookies, it's crumbly so if you get one make sure to eat it over a plate or napkin. It's sweet but not too sweet and the glaze is Muah! Perfecto!

Dane's panaderia is the archetype of the "hole in the wall gem". In an unassuming strip mall with an unassuming frontage this bakery makes the absolute best Mexican pan dulce in Sacramento. We love the conchas and the mantequadas especially but everything is perfect. Thank you, Dane's panaderia. We're glad we found you!

Their service, price and quality has been superb all the time. However, I found them closed several times before their schedule posted on the window, especially that happen to me on Sundays even though I arrived 20 minutes before their closing time they were gone. That's the reason I gave them 2 stars.

I pre-ordered a pastry the day before and I showed up to pick up the next day. Long line. People with orders had been waiting for about an hour. Great bread though.

Not a big selection but I don't mind since I only go for the bread that looks like corn (pan de elote). The ladies working here are friendly and great to talk to. I always stop here before walking across the street to starbucks.

If you want to be robbed, come here. If I could I'd give 0 stars. My brother in law picked up a Churro cheesecake I ordered and when I saw it, I was so upset. I couldn't even gift it. I was so embarrassed. The churro cheesecake was burnt, and dry. To top it off, the writing looked like my 3 year old did it. When I ordered I was told it would have lechera and Nutella drizzle... if you think that's chocolate, that's not what it is. That's burnt! I called and spoke to a lady, and she told me that I could not be refunded. She said that since the cake left the bakery there was nothing she could do. She said I could bring it back for half the refund and she would throw it away.

I called last week to place an order and the person on the phone said she will take my order, but she didn't have the price. This time of the year they are always busy, place your orders ahead. I buy my Rosca de Reyes every year from here. I was a La Esperanza customer, but lost quality over time. Dane's has not dissapointeted me over time. Their conchas have canela on them , so yummy. All pastries are delicious.

Very small, mom & pop, non-descript place for Mexican pastries. I usually make my way here in the mornings right after they open, and while they do not have a large variety of pastries and sweets, they certainly have all of my favorites; the little pigs, vanilla custard empanada, pineapple empanada, raspberry jelly roll, vanilla cream roll, conchas, galletas de grageas (sugar cookies with the multicolored sprinkles), polvorones rosas (pink sugar cookies), flan, gelatina de mosaico (colorful squares of Jell-O that are layered in a creamy and milky jello). La Esperanza certainly has a ginormous collection of baked goods compared to Dane's however Dane's consistently has all of their baked goods ready and available for purchase shortly after 8 AM. La Esperanza opens at 7 AM but they rarely have their full variety of items ready to purchase early in the morning and if you go later in the morning (to La Esperanza) and even around lunchtime, it's a zoo and lines are out the door and they move extremely slow; hence, Dane's is my little bakery of choice. Unfortunately, Dane's is not open on Sunday. In terms of the customer service: the ladies at the counter aren't very friendly, however, they are not overtly rude. They just don't smile and don't say much so I can deal with that. This is why I gave them four stars versus five stars.

They Have Great Mexican sweet bread/ Cheese cake ! Fresh wonderful taste. Small shop of Broadway. Have gone back Three times bought all they had in window. Freeze work great !!

Was next door grabbing tacos for lunch when the heavenly aroma od baked goods pulled us in. Nothing like some freshly baked Mexican pastries. Also got flan, but that didn't last long enough for a photo. Lol Grabbed a variety to drop off to my pops. He loves these! If you haven't already you must give this place a try!

This bakery is perfect. High quality Mexican pastries at incredibly affordable prices. Every time I've been in the shop, the staff has been very patient, kind, and helpful.

Very good pan dulce!! I tried the cortadillo pink cake, and it is very moist and perfectly sweet. The other things I tried were also very yummy. Their flan is mild yet sweet just like how I like my custard. The woman who helped me at the counter was very sweet, she speaks more spanish than english but even though I dont speak spanish she still answered all my questions. This reminds me of home, very simple yet traditional mexican atmosphere. Im coming back!!

Dane's is my go to spot for pan, flan and arroz con leche. My wife and I are hooked! We go every weekend and goes great with the tacos next door.

The bread we got here was great. We tried a good handful and our expectations were exceeded.

I have gone here a few times to get some pastries, and I haven't been disappointed. The conchas are soft and delicious, the flan is firm and tasty and it smells like my childhood. I feel like the woman has always been friendly to me, but if you're like these other commenters and you're looking for someone to hug you, and treat you like royalty, well that's a ridiculous expectation and perhaps this isn't the establishment for you. Its a panederia, and they make delicious pastries. You take them home, get in your comfiest clothes, and you dip them in your coffee or hot chocolate and put on some cartoons or something equally enjoyable. Conchas are an experience not a quick bite, and here they are that high quality

First time trying this place. The pastries are pretty good. I'm reviewing more about the lady's attitude. We walk in and we were the only people there. There's was no greeting or a smile, nothing. She just stands there without offering any help with the pastries like what's in them etc. If she is the owner it's such bad business to have a Shitty attitude like that. Now even though we liked the pastries we would never go back because of her attitude. She doesn't seem to understand that the customers keep her in business. So now she lost a new potential customer and I'd Never recommend this place to anyone because of her attitude!!

Anyone who shops regularly on the Sac Mexican economy already knows--some store owners are jerks but you put up with it to get the good stuff, and sometimes the good stuff is mixed in with the bad stuff, but just buy the good stuff. Go ahead, try to think of a Mexican owned, Mexican serving business that isn't like this. (I'm not even gonna bother waiting--you can't.) We come here to get exactly what we know is good when it's good--conchas and lemon muffins on Tuesdays-Saturdays. And because they're hella good and cheap, yes, we put up with the attitude of the owner, cuz, you know what? We keep coming back, and she knows it. (Y'all wanna laugh at the Soup Nazi, but complain for something a fraction of the price?) If you come for what you come for you're gonna get what you're gonna get. If you show up with no education as to what's what you're gonna get exactly what you deserve. (I swear, this should be the motto of shopping in Mexican stores in Sac.) Do they serve coffee or chocolate? No. It's a panaderia. Not Krispy Kreme. Do they give you a box instead of an overpacked paper bag? No. But you know what? It's free. Does the lady smile? EVER? NO. (And if she does you better document that crap and post it to Yelp, cuz, if that ain't like a Bigfoot sighting...) If you come with your hella gringo expectations then you should expect.... No, you know what? Not even gonna finish. If that is you, please take yourself somewhere else, 'cuz the rest of us aren't trying to have your lame, uppity-snob reviews make mom and pop shops look bad. Keep eating your donuts, and when you're ready to come back come back--but don't cry when all the conchas blancas are gone, cuz it's a Saturday and all of the rest of us who know already bought her out to last us through her days off. How cool is your wanna-be-hipster self gonna look when you've got no pan dulce? More importantly, how much you gonna miss it. Get over yourself, then come back and bring your cash. Everyone else, buy a concha, Tuesday-Saturday (unless they look a little dark, then don't, and get a muffin). Holy crap. So good.

Dane's Bakery is amazing! They have fresh pastries! I would recommend going in the morning because in the morning they have a huge variety and it's hot/fresh! I love coming here for a treat!!!

Forget about ordering ahead for the Rosca de Reyes I ordered mine Monday and I called today to make sure they still didn't have my rosca ready I had to wait an hour in the long line and al the special requests I made none really bad costumer service . Not buying there anymore

I suggest you give them a try. We picked up 6 different pastries. My favorite was the thick 3 cream cake. It was super moist and full of flavor. The pink frosting was a perfect topping to the moist cake. I want a whole sheet for my next party. will be back for sure.

This bakery has the best bread. Just a little pricier than others but it's definitely worth it! Definitely recommend and if you want a lot of stuff I recommend you go early or order ahead since they sell out quick! Staff is always super friendly!

What happens in each of these situations: walking into a bar, taking the MCAT or any of many standardized tests, buying beers at gas stations, and buying student rate museum tickets? They always ask for an ID. And I don't think my pastries should be exempt this. Who do they think they are? Only rappers can walk into a club with no ID, not a churro. Speaking of churros, as I mentioned in my tip there have been no churros after numerous visits. Upon entering Dane's bakery, you won't see any identifying information of anything, whether it be price or what it even is. You are left with two options 1) feel super annoying and go along both pastry cases asking what every single thing is or 2) gesticulate randomly and end up with a mystery selection at a mystery price. I shamelessly took the first route, only to discover that the lady's responses were vague and terse enough that I should have just pointed randomly. That said, the mystery price after selecting my pastries was rock bottom cheap. Like seriously, perhaps one of the lowest priced bakeries I've ever encountered. The pastries themselves were just alright. My favorite is the gingerbread pig, but even then it wasn't particularly amazing. Everything I've gotten has been distinctly dry. I wouldn't be surprised if it's just a difference in preference though. Also, it's a little annoying that they only have enormous ~25 piece boxes or 2-3 piece paper bags. If you want to find something more exciting than bringing a dozen donuts to that next meeting, your options are either bringing two dozen, or bringing an unwieldy mass of paper bags for your friends/frenemies/coworkers/whoever to awkwardly split and get their fingers all over while looking through each narrow paper bag. Overall, Dane's bakery has quite the range of decent baked goods in a slightly run down and difficult to comprehend store, but it's a reasonable bet for your sugar fix.

A mexican bakery. Pasteleria. Part of a strip mall on the corner of Broadway and 65th. I walked in and nothing was labeled. I didn't know what anything was, really. So, for an outsider-- it's a little difficult. I would ask about particular items and the lady there was nice and she answered. What's that shaped like a pig? Gingerbread. Really? You see, to an outsider, someone who doesn't know shit about this.. It's a little odd. A pig gingerbread. But it's a Puerquito. I looked it up. It's a known thing. I was curious about everything but, I felt like a problem person asking about this and that so I limited myself. I chose a couple things. It's not a place to have a drink or eat.. Just a pick and go so, I did. And, it was good stuff on top of a little learning experience.

Good, reasonably priced panaderia right in my neighborhood! The lovely smell wafting from it draws you in

Finding Dane's was the best discovery I've made in a long time. A friend turned me on to this place; the only thing that's difficult is knowing when to stop trying new things. I bought 6 of the orange muffins for the family, they are not too sweet, yummy as hell. My personal favorites are the concha: a big slightly sweet dough bun with a flaky chocolate topping baked on, and the puff pastry horn filed with bavarian cream. If you are a fan at all of Mexican pastries, this place will have you coming back every day. Nom nom nom.

This place is a small local business, they don't have much variety to choose from, but what they do have is pretty good Pan Dulce! They make in my opinion the best 'Gingerbread Pigs' Maranitos/ Puerquitos/ Cochinitos. They have great fresh bolillo/birote, the only bolillo I've had in Sacramento that reminds me of the one in México. Call ahead for bolillo if your making a trip specifically for it, they do run out! BYOB (bring your own bag) they charge for it!

Eek!!!!! I bought two pastries & one tasted old (I didn't even dare to sallow it) & the other one had mold inside when I cut it in half. Thank god I only bought two instead of a doze. I should have figured it out & make a run for the door since I was they only customer in this bakery during lunch time....so disappointing :(((((

This bakery is in a very good location, but it doesn't Maximize on its potential. For one, a better sign would do them wonders. Second, better organization of the store would make it look more appealing. And lastly, I would add variety to their menu. I.e. more selection of pan Mexicano, and at the very least, some coffee with cinammon! Overalll, not bad, but you need a lot of selection, you ain't gonna find it here!

Their craft is rustic and they produce some of the best Mexican sweet bread you can ever taste. Their hours are a bit odd but once you go in and taste their product you will come back again. Their pastel de tres leches (three milks cake) is among one of the best I've ever had, and I'm Mexican! Come in and try their bread. You will not be disappointed!

Walking in to this bakery you can smell all the baked goods! There's a great variety of Mexican bread here and very affordable, it's nothing that's brought from another store, they bake everything here, all fresh. I brought bread to some coworkers and they loved it!! The muffins and gingerbread piggies were a hit!!!

I wish I could give them no stars. I'm always in favor of supporting small businesses, especially Raza owned and I usually deter from giving bad reviews to places in instances where it seems just a bad day or a simple/ common mistake. However, this is not the case. We purchased a cake from here and feel like we were scammed into believing that they could make something they were incapable of doing. My sister immediately told them that the cupcakes were supposed to be a gray color, however when we received it, it was deeP LAVENDAR. They told us to bring what we wanted to too the cake with (some stars on sticks) so that they would place them on there but when we brought them , the lady had an attitude and seemed like she didn't want to do more work?? The cake was for a baby shower and upon trying to feed our guests we came to find that the cake was BURNT and tough to eat and stained everyone's faces and hands blue for days! EMBARRASING! When we took the 95% untouched cake back to the bakery, we politely told them the situation and the women working there snapped into bad attitudes, cursing and raising their voices. Perhaps they were offended because they took time to make it but honestly someone dropped the ball on this and it's not fair that it has to fall back on the customer! they refused to give us our money back and wouldn't even negotiate a 50% discount. We payed close to $100 for everything and really who has money to waste like that for an unsatisfactory product. More than disappointment in the cake, I'm disgusted by this business' work ethics, complete disrespect and lack of customer service skills. As a person who has a bit of a network in the Latino community in Sacramento, you can expect that I will never again recommend this place to anyone. I really recommend taking your $ elsewhere, there's plenty of small bakeries and entrepreneurs who deserve it MUCH more. Small Businesses in our community can't expect to thrive with treating their customers like that. Terrible.

After reading all of the review's below I must say people need to grow up and quit trolling on the internet. Your not important, get over yourselves!!!!!!!!! I drive up from San Francisco every few weeks just to get their FRESH AUTHENTIC HISPANIC BREAD, Never once have I gotten old or stale bread. Its always fresh, This is not Ruth Chris steak house people so don't expect everything to be fancy when walking in. Its a small family owned business. They are always friendly and will treat you like family. But a majority of people are D-Bag's who come in with a bad attitude and expect the world to bend over for them. I would recommend this place to anyone in the bay area visiting our state capital. The Owner Maria is such a hard working women and kind lady to everyone. Some individuals on yelp MUST be smoking crack to think anything other of her. BTW Try the coconut mice! They are amazing!!!!!

My friend wanted to drop in for some baked goodies after dinner next door and it was our first time. I didn't even notice that there was a bakery in this little plaza until she mentioned it. Nice, small little shop with most of the basic and essentials to a Mexican bakery. A little unorganized but I was immediately distracted by the churros and the different varieties of pastries. I got two churros, $0.90 each but they weren't piping hot and very doughy throughout the bites, but it was at the end of day and they were a good size. I then saw something else that captured my attention, little mini baked cups which appeared to be like cheesecake. I asked the worker what were they to be sure and she then told me that they were indeed baked cheesecake cups and they also had sweet corn cups, which looked uncanny to the cheesecake but instead where filled with mushed up sweet corn. I told her to grab me one of each, which were only a $1 and they were as big as the size of my hand. The cheesecake cup was good... thick, creamy and soft and not too sweet. The sweet corn cups were too as good and was said to be the most popular, not too sweet and moist. I also grabbed a Mexican wedding cookie on a different day for $1 but they weren't as good as it looked so I would pass on that. I definitely like their cheesecake and corn cups and would recommend it if you like cheesecake or lightly sweetened dessert when you're in the area!

I've lived in the neighborhood all my life and had seen the sign for this bakery many times over the years. After dropping off donations at Goodwill next door, I decided to go in.....so glad I did! Beautiful 'mexican' pastries, some still warm from the oven with the steam condensing on the glass case, the aroma of fresh baked breads filling hte air. A very simple place, seems like most of their business is wholesale, no amenties in the shop, but no problem, the breads and cookies should be taken home and savored anyway :-) I bought a roll that kind of looked like a big seashell. Warm, slightly sweet, covered in superfine sugar, it's layers peeling away to reveal a soft bread center. Yummy! A second visit I asked more about the other pastries in the case, and the clerk was very nice telling me about the cheesecake in a crust, the tiny cookies filled with jam or cream.....delicious!
