El Bolillo Bakery

Fantastic bakery from donuts to wedding cakes, savory treats too. It's huge so much to offer it was overwhelming so do plan on coming back often. Fair prices.

The place used to be really good, one of the best actually. They always had fresh pastries, friendly workers and a great environment. Now, the workers just chat at the register and they have hardened treats in the cases. Really sad how poor the services has gotten.

I am disappointed! I ordered a cake for my daughter birthday this past Saturday and send a reference picture. They used a different image not the one I had asked for. Also you would think they'll have common sense and not block the main characters face !! 😠 (Photo below)

Service depends on who you are speaking to, asked for a total price for a very large order they told me I needed to do the math to calculate the total. Ultimately I could have done the math on my large order but since they couldn’t just ring it up for me like a proper employee I took my business elsewhere. Will never do large orders here. Good for a quick little treat depending on the item. Always inspect first some items will have mold on them.

I was craving for tamales and was passing by El Bolillo bakery in Pasadena. I stopped to buy the tamales since they were feature in "eat like a local" program on channel 2 and were recommended. I purchased one dozen of their pork tamales at $ 17.95 the dozen , I did not mind since I though were going to be hand made and were recommended on the TV program. I got home and open one one of the package and I was extremely disappointed to find out that the tamales were machine made and not hand made. I'm of Mexican descent and I know machine made are never the same as hand made. They are not filled the same and they do not taste the same. Machine made typically sell every where else for around $ 10.00 to $ 12.00. I guess the owners of El Bolillo want to retired as quick as possible by selling food at an exorbitant price, which by the way the same was for their bread. At the counter I paid for the tamales and bread and the register lady baged the tamales and bread left if in the counter, left without saying anything so I grabbed the bags and left. I was followed to the parking area by a another customer that was paying behind me, with the salsa for the tamales that the lady at the counter forgot to give me or communicate with me. I will never patronize El Bolillo Bakery again, I had a bad experience in the quality and price of their food and not friendly people. I urge my fellow consumers to shop for quality and pricing for both tamales and mexican sweat bread.

In ordered a cake over the phone and paid for it online. My boyfriend picked it up and the cake was no where to be found. They ended up giving him one they had for sale. We had paid extra for specific things we wanted on the cake.

Probably one of the best Mexican bakeries in Houston. Don't go if you're on a diet. Plan to buy more then you expected.

This place use to be great , but as of lately its been horrible . I always use to order my cakes here they always been known for amazing cakes . This is the second time in a row that my cakes have been ugly . I walked in today to get my cake that I ordered 1 week in advance . And once I got there it was supposed to be ready I had to wait 1 more hour when I was already running late for pickup . Cake was not frosted then someone else said it was wrong frosting . And once it was done which was half fast . It’s an ugly cake and rushed . Definitely don’t recommend anymore . A pic for what I ordered and what I got . Owner needs to check their employees and their work . Very disappointed.
