Las Hijas Del Gallo

This place was recommended to me by a coworker. Me and my cocowker had breakfast nearby and I was told I have to try this place out since they stand out compared to other bakeries. I instantly knew I had to try this place out even though I was full. Upon arrival, the place was a bit crowded but that did not give me a doubt since I am a very patient person. You first grab a tray along with a pair of tongs, then you choose what you would like. The baked goods area is a bit of narrow, but just enough to get by. They have a variety of things to choose from that will definitely fit your test. They offer many different Spanish goods, doughnuts, breads, pastries, cookies, tres leche, flan and many more things to choose from. I was lucky, because when it was my turn a lot of things had just come out of their oven. Everything here is made fresh daily which is always a plus because it is quality over quantity. The staffs here are welcoming, well trained and understanding which made my visit a satisfying and issue free one. I highly recommend this place to anyone needing some goods for breakfast, if you are willing to try something new, for all the people that have a sweet tooth or if you just so happen to be in the area. I definitely will be back to tryout the other delicious options they have to offer.

Everyone was very nice. Regardless of all the wonderful business and big lines, they took care of me with a smile. The rosca was delicious. I got the small rosca rellena de guayaba.

Charming and sweet place to visit , variety of tasty treats to offer , plenty of choices to choose from, their flan is delicious and a must try , their tres leches is a definite must try , they have so many trays of breads, cookies and sweet and savory bread to pick from , clean setting and very lovely staff. Coffee counter available. Street parking available and also across it is a parking lot.

The best pan dulce in the SSF and SF combined! A family owned neighborhood bakery, just like the ones in Mexico. The pastries are always fresh, the service is great and the pricing is definitely fair.

Great selection of bakery items that all tasted fresh and not overdone with flavor. Well priced as well.

Excellent Mexican bakery. Different types of breads kind of pricey but good. Bolillos a little chewy I prefer a little more crunchy. Definitely one of my favorites in SF. area. Teleras, pambazo donas . Chocolate cookies need improvement, chips feltdown

They have tasty bread, and most importantly it’s fresh bread! I love the variety of pan dulce they carry, and they also make cakes! Don’t be discouraged by the long line, it moves fast and the service is friendly!

This place is THE BEST. Open early, huge selection, and the YUMMIEST conchas I've ever tried. They are so soft! If you have a chance to try one still warm, it's ethereal.

Best conches I've ever had (and I've had them all over the country), so fresh and pillowy, and very affordable. I travel for business to this area, and every time I'm here I have to stop by and get them. The rest of the baked goods range from good to very good, so you won't be disappointed, but the conches are the star for sure.

Summary: For when you want aaaaall the breads Details: Las Hijas was an interesting experience for me, as far as bakeries go. I have no idea if this is par for the course for a panaderia, but upon entering the shop and grabbing a tray and tongs, you're greeted with a hallway full of rows upon rows of trays, upon which there are countless varieties of pastries. None of which are labeled either, of course. So, what'd I get, and what would I recommend? Honestly, I have no idea! While there were definitely a few winners in there, I couldn't tell you what they were. Many were just okay, but nothing was unenjoyable, and if nothing else, it's a fun experience and worth a try. Accessibility: The space is on the smaller side, especially once you're in the

Tres Leches. You need to call if you need a whole cake. Parking space in front of the store.

Their bread is amazing! The service was great. If you go early in the morning you'll catch the bread as it's coming out of their ovens! Parking sucks though...but, it's so worth it!

Love thes bakery is one of the best bakeries I have found and a Bay area. Very warm conchas very friendly people good customer service nice and organized. I highly recommend this place. Stop by. you won't be disappointed.

When I saw they have conchas (bread with shell like exterior), I knew I had to check the place out. This bakery is obviously a local favorite. They are busy but they get the line moving. You get a tray and you fill it with bread of your choice. The prices are reasonable and the product is great. We went two days in a row! Wish we had a bakery like this in Maine.

Never ending choices for pan dulce! I highly recommend checking this place out. You pick out your choices using tongs provided by the bakery. They're so delicious! They are very quick in the register so don't fret if there's a long line. This is the SPOT to go to if you're around South San Francisco.

Was having a craving for Pan Dulce on the way back home from SF and this place did not disappoint! Great prices for top quality bread and pastries! I've grown up eating Pan Dulce, so I knew just by looking at the options that this place was going to become one of my favorites! The nice lady ringing us up was super sweet! She joked along with us and provided us some great customer service! We waited 10 minutes for some fresh out-the-oven conchas - HOLY COW , tasted just like the ones from my parent's small town in Michoacán, Mexico. The Pan Dulce was so good we decided to come back and pick some more up for my sister's birthday party! Everyone loved it! It's a small location but the service is quick, they offer lots of options and great prices. Definitely come check them out when you're in the area.

Finally came to this place. Been wanting to try this bakery. It smells really good and delicious inside. Parking is easy. Theres a big parking spot across. I didnt know what to get so i ask around and they recommended me some stuff. I spend around $30. I kinna went overboard i think. Was it good? Hmmm it was worth a try.

Went by to pick up some bread and was highly disappointed when I saw a much of flies flying around the bread.

I was in awed to walk into this little but fully stocked bakery. The baked goods are all delicious. They are baked in-house. The girl at the care register is sweet and friendly. I was the only non Hispanic in the store. People are kinda showing me hospitality as I looked lost, not knowing what to do. The conchas are delicious but my favorite is the bread with jalapeño cream cheese. The heat is manageable. The jalapeño has a little crunch to it. The bread has the perfect balance of sweetness and saltiness from the cream cheese. It is big. I could eat the entire thing but I have to limit myself. I took one star off because the trays and thongs are not very clean. **UPDATE** I visited this bakery again, exactly a week after my last visit. This place is a little out of the way for me but the drive is totally worth it. This time I tried the conchas. They are the best. The bread is soft, a little chewy and the outside is nice and crisp. Biting into the concha feels heavenly. I ate one as I was standing in line to pay. While I was there, this cake was sitting on the counter waiting to be picked up. It is soooo beautiful. I also picked up a flan. It's creamy and smooth. The browned sugar sauce was the best I've had. Again, I met the nicest sales person. Her name is Mariela. She has such a sweet, happy face. And is very helpful in answering my questions. If you ever feel down, talk to her, her very uplifting, positive energy will raise you up.

Favorite panaderia in town. They always have a variety of pastries ready and always fresh despite the amount of people coming in.

WOW! This place is legit and deserves all the flowers. Thanks to Yelp, I made a pit stop here on the way back from SF and I am so glad I did. The lady at the front saw me looking lost when I came in and she walked with me and guided me through the process and the items. In case you are wondering, you have to pick up a tray and tongs and choose the items in the trays on the left. I got the cream cheese bread, the chocolate concha and could not resist the flan. All 3 were exceptional and disappeared fast. Yummy! Delightful spot and delightful people.

I come here for their Epiphany Bread at the start of the year, but I also come here at times for their Pan Dulce. Parking is not horrible though I visit either in the morning or early evening. As for the space it's old school so grab a pan and select what you want. Regarding the staff they were pleasant, and as a non Spanish speaker there has never been a language barrier issue. Plus their baked goods are fresh, made with quality ingredients, and affordable though I wish prices were posted. In my opinion it's one of the best Mexican style Bakeries in the San Francisco / San Mateo counties. Yes it's a goto for me.

This place is a gem!! Omg so happy I found it !!! Staff is very kind and welcoming! Location is small but filled with the Delicious Bread smell So many delicious choices to choose from all fresh Over all 5 I will be back

In search of a traditional and yummy tres leches cake to serve at our party, I found several bake shoppes via Yelp which led Z and me to visit Las hijas del Gallo BAKERY for the first time on the afternoon of Sunday, May 14, 2024. Located at the edge of downtown South San Francisco, Las hijas del Gallo can boast that they have a parking lot adjacent to the venue. Not sure if it's for the business, but we parked there with no issues. The grey-painted building is not tiny, but also not huge. Most of the interior area is occupied for employees only, where all the baking magic happens. Customer areas are restricted to the small foyer, where the counters for placing orders and paying for goodies are done, and a narrow hallway where the baked goods are reeled into the row of metal racks from where the myriad of pastries, pans dulces (sweet breads), pasteles y pastelitos (cakes & cupcakes), muffins, etc. (you name your baked sweet, they probably offer it) are set out to grab (with tongs, of course) for purchase. Within the front area are also a case of refrigerated desserts such as tres leches slices and cups, flan, gelatinas, etc. and coffee & microwave stations. The place is kept decently tidy, though Z commented that the racks of confections could be cleaner. Below are just a few items that we have had. TRES LECHES CAKE - At our initial visit, we brought home a pre-packed slice and after his first taste, Z immediately decided that we were going to order the tres leches cake from here for the party. The single slice was packaged in a transparent plastic container, sitting in a pool of milk. Everyone agreed - the cake slice was very moist and enjoyable. This prompted us to return to Las hijas on the evening of Wednesday, May 22, to order a half sheet of tres leches cake with cream filling. We didn't find anything that we were looking for in their book of cake decorations, so we pulled up a simple photo from an internet search which they said that they could replicate. The finished product looked almost identical to the picture that we provided. Unfortunately, though, the half sheet didn't deliver nearly half of the milky moistness as the slice which was a little disappointing. CHURROS - V likes their churros. CHOCOLATE DONUT - Good, standard in taste and texture, according to Z. OREJAS - Also known as palmiers. These are huge! Perfect flakiness and sweetness. POLVORONES ROSAS - This simple pink sugar cookie is always my go-to at every panadería. The version here has a slight chew at the edges which I love. CREAM FILLED CHOCOLATE BAR - Z & V didn't expect this bar to be filled with cream/custard. V said that it wasn't bad, though, even with the surprise filling. ROL DE CANELA/RAISIN & CREAM ROLL - DJ didn't find any cream in this. For that reason, he was very disappointed in this pastry. EMPANADA DE PIÑA/PINEAPPLE TURNOVER - "Ok; good, but not fabulous," according to DJ. "A little on the dry side." SPINACH WITH FETA CHEESE - I liked this savory pastry, toasted a bit, but DJ found it a bit bland. PUERQUITO - Disappointingly hard as a rock and dry, according to DJ. Fun fact: This is a family-owned business. The daughters of El Gallo took over the Mexican Bakery and changed the name to Las hijas del Gallo. Insert heart emoji here. I never visited when they were still El Gallo, but I can tell you that the next generation's team delivers excellent customer service. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The women are all so cute, too! I think I met one of the sisters and told her, "You're so cute, like a muñeca! I just want to hug you!" To which she responded that she could give me a hug, opening up her arms to me. Insert sparkling heart emoji here! Doesn't get better than that, guys. So glad that we found this place. After discovering them less than a month ago, we have already visited three times. You betcha that we will be back! Support small businesses like this place, please! Las hijas del Gallo will warm your heart and tummies, I promise!

Super delicious!! Must try if you haven't been and are craving authentic fresh Mexican baked goods!!

Many options and choices, as well as some fancy pieces of pastries, are available. There is a great deal of parking available and a few markets in the area. Nice walkable area. Since the bread is of exceptionally high quality, the price is also a bit up there. Two full bags of bread came out to $40. It looks like they do specialty cake orders and have them down to a science where each cake says how many people each cake feeds, which is also amazing. I give a high mark to this place because it was easy to find, and the parking availability was fabulous!

The BEST bread EVER!! So warm and fresh. It felt as if I was in Mexico going into a Panaderia. Will go back to buy more.

when im in the mood for a concha bread, i always come here. its always consistently good and satisfies the craving. its pretty reasonably priced for freshly baked breads too. get a tray and fill it up with all the breads in the back. i do want to try their churros one day. its a good local business to support. theres only street parking so pray to the parking gods when you drive by.

Came out here one day while I was in town and staying at my sister's house. At first we thought that the bakery was closed because it looked like it from afar. We were ready to turn around but walked a little closer and found this establishment to be opened. It's a cute and small bakery. My sister grabbed a tray and pair of tongs to pick out some items for ourselves and the rest of the family waiting at the apartment. We grabbed a few conchas, cookies and some churros and made our way back to the apartment. Out of all the items we selected that day, the conchas were the best items. We had purchased 3 churros and they were rather stale. Cookies were just OK for us. I think if we come back, we'd stick to just buying conchas.

This is the place we have been going for our bread and cakes for years now. We make big and small orders and never fail.

Hole-in-the-wall, definitely a local favorite and all the employees are super sweet. Loved their tres leches!

Racks and racks. Help yourself. Get tray and tongs. Somehow all the cincha was all bought out. Decided to get a croussand, almond with cheese filling, pineapple empanada, pink bread. So many people waiting to the fresh batch to come out of oven. Parking was ok.

Your tres (3) leches cake was amazing! thank you so much ! Thank you again ! Everyone in our party group enjoyed the flavor

I've tried a lot of pan dulce in the bay area and Las Hijas are the best I've found so far. We recently did a bread crawl in LA too and Las Hijas beat most of them as well. We popped in late afternoon on a Saturday and the smell of fresh bread beckoned us from the parking lot. The small shop was quite busy so we grabbed our tray and tongs from the front and joined the fun picking out a few things to try. We chose 2 conchas (chocolate and vanilla), a round pastry about the size of a baseball that was coated with a fine dust of sugar, and a long oval sandwich cookie filled with whipped cream. The conchas WERE STILL HOT FROM THE OVEN and you bet we ate them while standing in the parking lot before we left because *DUH*. They were amazing. Soft, pillowy, slightly sweet. Best I've had yet. I'll take 10 more please and thank you. Heaven. Later we tried the baseball bread (for lack of a better descriptor) which was studded with a few raisins and tasted a bit like a light corn muffin but with more of a cake texture. It also had a thin layer of what I think was dulce de leche in the middle. Then we tried the oval cookie which was slightly sweet and full of a slightly thicker whipped cream. I can see why they have been in business so long and we will definitely be back.

Grab a tray and pick what you want. They have a variety of baked goodies to select from. But you know what we really came for... A bag full of their fresh and hot conchas always hit the spot!! Esp with a hot cocoa or coffee. Small, cozy shop for your pan dulce craving.

This spot is small but perfect for conchas. I come here for the conchas honestly. Always fresh and good. Other pan dulce is good too but concha's a must. The pan frances is good too. Workers are helpful too. When I've called and asked an employee for help they always are nice and helpful.

They have the best Mexican bread. There conchas are the best I just love tang you can really taste the egg. I work near by so I was lucky to get the bread from just out oven.

If you want to taste heaven, try the bread here. Best Mexican bakery I've had in so long. It's self serve (unless it's behind the counter).

Great selection of Mexican pastries. Everything is made fresh daily. Grab a tray and walk down the hallway. and lock your items off the cookie sheets fresh out of the oven. I bought concha's since my daughter loves them. They accept credit card too. Parking is available on the street and across the street in a lot.

Your pastries are a true work of art - every bite is a delightful explosion of flavor! Thank you for bringing such joy to our neighborhood.

Sat at my computer all day long at work, trying to yelp places because my sweet tooth has been SCREAMING at me. I was going back and forth between a Maja Blanca (filipino dessert) or a Tres Leches Cake. Due to distance from work, I ended up finding this spot and saw they had Tres Leches. Upon entering, it was super tight and had a hallway full of fresh mexican bread that you get to pick out yourself with tray and tongs. I didn't come for that though. I had one goal and one goal only: Tres Leches. (To go size) I was literally BLOWN AWAY to find out that their to go size tres leches is only $2.50!!! I know damn well anywhere in the East Bay for the same size tres leches is BARE MINIMUM $8. The prices are YUMMY, but what's actually even more YUMMY is the tres leches cake itself. Moist but not too wet, sweet but not excessively sweet. Perfection. Heaven. LOVE it here!!

Found this little bakery while staying nearby. So glad we did! The aroma coming from the daily fresh baked breads, pastries and coffee drifted through the neighborhood. Self serve as you stroll through the bakery's' single aisle with your tray and pastry tongs. The selection is vast, so dare to try new items. We stayed for four days and visited every morning at 0700.. they open at 0600. Owners and workers treated us great every morning and even remembered us from other visits. Small self serve local bakery with an amazing variety of breads, pastries, Mexican items, churros, etc..

Open daily from 6am, except Sundays when the Bakers get an extra hour of sleep, Las Hijas Del Gallo looks exactly like the Panaderias in Playa del Carmen and the ouskirts of CDMX with products as good or better than both. Located in South San Francisco with plenty of parking, the smell of Cinnamon and Yeast tantalizing from several yards away, it is once inside that guests discover brick walls and floors plus a cash-only policy for orders under $10. Frequently with a line, sheet pans on racks lined up without labels in order of what last came out the oven, Conchas and Ojo are wispy beneath crunchy Sugar topping while the Pineapple Turnover was golden on the outside with a still-warm Fruit center. Also offering freshly fried Churros at the counter, crispy and oilless with a good bit of Cinnamon, Cortadillo comes lightly frosted but plenty moist - though obviously not so much as creamy Tres Leches stored cold. Smart to pick up an Empanada, a bit of guess-work yielding Custard, Guava Cheese shouldn't be missed and the Besos with Dulce de Leche rolled in extra Powdered Sugar is also pretty special.

This bakery makes the best Mexican sweet bread in the Bay Area in my humble opinion. However, FYI, the prices have gone up significantly as just about everything these days. Just keep that in mind when choosing the amount of bread you put on your self serve tray as there are no prices posted and you're just up to the whim of the cashier you get that day because I get charged differently each time. So, ask for prices before they ring you up or you can be shocked at the total price you'll be charged. Just be aware and enjoy the best Mexican sweet bread in the Bay Area.

Fresh, warm, friendly greeting!! Taste was 4 star , 5 diamond, excellent!!!!I would recommend this location to anyone who was looking for Pan Dulce or Bollios!! Thanks for everything!!

Years of visiting and making special orders from this bakery. After a few misses lately I have to say it's changed and not for good. The quality of the bread is no longer the same. Some is very very dry and over baked.

I visited the Bay Area last month and talked to my father about his recent experiences at the bakery and if there were any improvements. He mentioned that ever since I left my first review, they have been charging him a consistent amount every day now. He continues going in every weekday and some weekends if we're in town. I am happy the business took my feedback and the feedback of others to manage their prices. Bread is still as good as always!

Hands down the best Pan Dulce in the Bay Area. The smell when you walk in hits you in the face and you instantly fall in love with the wonderful colors that paint these soft pillows of goodness! The customer service is top notch and you can even put in custom orders for party's! I ordered some Christmas Concha's for my wife's work party and they were an absolute hit!

I always go in around 7am so things are fresh! I get lucky and never have to wait in such a long line. Workers are friendly when I need help finding certain breads ‍ Really enjoy the conchas and my daughters always spot the pink cookies with sprinkles.

Once in a while, I like to drop by this Mexican bakery in So. SF. to pick some bakery goods and a slice of pizza! Love the story of having a slice of pizza w/ orgins in a bakery here in the ! The slice of pizza is a little bit over a dollar! It is by no means "gourmet" But, I get joy from how it reminds me of the pizza I used to wait in line for at lunch when I was in middle school at A.P Gianini in SF. If I remember correctly, I think it used to cost 55 cents at the "Beanery Line". (Dang it, I'm showing my age)! They have trays and tongs for you to use to pick and choose what you want from the wide variety of baked goods and you pay for it at the end at the counter. Make sure to make time for waiting, it gets quite busy especially on the weekends.

It's us again. We approached the spot and first thing that gets you is the delicious smell. Fresh baked goods. Drool...... The boys and I found parking right away. I know you all thought it would be a donut review but the smallest boy wanted Concha's. So off to SSF. Pick up a tray and tongs and off you go. We pile our tray high with as many different choices. The lady at the counter was very nice, the parking easy and the boys give it 4 stars and a thumbs up.

Ordered a few days in advance for custom pink mini concha's, polvorones and muffins for my brothers baby shower, and they were warm and fresh the day of. Everyone asked where we got them, they were definitely a highlight of the party. Been coming here since I was a kid, best Mexican bread around, will always support!

This bakery was amazing, from the moment you walk in you small the fresh Pan Dulce. I got there at the perfect time and got hot conchas, they were so soft and the perfect amount of sweetness. Will definitely come back.

This panadería used to have one of the best pan dulce in the area, not anymore we stopped by to get some pan dulce and it was dry and you can tell the baker uses poor quality ingredients, the bread is flavorless, you better eat it the same day otherwise the next day is hard like a rock. Esta panadería solía tener uno de los mejores pan dulce del area , ya no.... pasamos a comprar pan dulce y estaba seco y se nota que el panadero usa ingredientes de mala calidad, el pan no tiene sabor, y si compras pan será mejor que lo comas el mismo día, de lo contrario, el día siguiente esta más duro que una piedra.

Dios mio! My new favorite bakery. I didn't even know what I was choosing from the cupboards inside but all of it was fluffy and fresh with the best thing being their tres leches cake. OMG what a dream!!! You know it's great when at 5pm on Saturday, there's a line out the bakery door... 5 stars!!!

Yes yes and yesssss . Best Bakery in the whole Bay Area no lie guys fresh bread so warm . Had been through a few bakery's in San Francisco and the bread it's not the same I drive to south city and get my good bread and so good guys go get yours . There's a lot of selections and it's so full of flavors they also serve coffee, churros oh and they make cakes . They are super nice and good service .

Delicious bread and friendly service. They also make mini concha's for events but you have to order in advance. It's a small place and parking is hard to get.
