Papá Chuy's Bakery

Highlight of this bakery is their variety of pastries, but they also sell savory meals. The pastries are incredibly tasty, affordable and huge. Prices vary from $1.50 to $3.50. Highly recommend their pastrami or chicken sandwich, the bread is incredibly soft with the perfect amount of crunch - not dense but not a flaky mess. I really liked the dressing on the pastrami, it had the perfect amount of vinegar and mustard. Everything just tasted fresh and bright and the staff were all incredibly nice and helpful. The space looks like a converted unit, features a few small tables for dine in but no outdoor seating.

The service here is unmatched! When we arrived, the kind guy behind the counter walked us through the process of picking out pastries from their glowing case. He explained each option in detail, and we felt very taken care of. We chose a selection of treats, and it was $16 for a pretty large selection. Everything was fresh and tasty!

My mom and I often joke about how “Pan es pan” translating to “bread is bread” since we’ve had pan dulce from bakeries all over the twin cities and think they either taste too much like egg, vanilla and/or egg. This panadería was truly the exception! As soon as we arrived going in we smelled the sweet smell of the pan dulce that smelled exactly like the panaderías in Mexico! We got 5 different types of pan dulces to try: yoyo, a croissant, biscuit, cubilete, and a concha. All totaled out to be $8.50 (cash is cheaper than card, they have a 4% service charge). So far we tried the yo-yo and it amazed me how incredibly delicious it was, not overwhelming sweet and was the perfect amount of dense. I would like to return to try their sandwiches. It’s a great local and family owned business that amazed me, a new hidden gem in the Lowry Hill/Whittier neighborhood!

I've had their pastries before (and they were great!) but someone recently told me about their sandwiches so I had to check it out. AMAZING pastrami sandwich ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. I've been itching for a sandwich shop around here and I'm so happy Papá Chuy's moved in! Someone next to me got their breakfast sandwich and it also looked incredible. Will definitely be back for breakfast!

Stopped by while thrifting on this street, and did not regret it one bit - the team is so incredibly friendly, explaining each of the Mexican pastries to us (and so many were sold out by the afternoon)! We ended up trying this pineapple filled pastry and a yoyo with strawberry jam. Both were so delicious and I would 100% come back!

I went to check out this new bakery spot, it was extremely cheap, all the pastries were HUGE and super delicious. These taste very similar to some traditional sweet Mexican pastries! My friends and I were blown away by how amazing and cheap it all is! I definitely would recommend if you’re looking for a fun little treat!

You MUST GO TO PAPA CHUY’S!! Oh my gosh… best sandwich of all time and beautiful pastries. Wonderful. Already want to go back. Cozy atmosphere, too. Loved every bit.

We requested a last minute tres leches cake for a party and they were able to bake it for us within a few hours. Delicious and beautiful cake, it had little peach bits in there that were a very nice touch. 10/10 everyone at the party loved the cake. Very nice bakery staff and chef too - seems like they all were there to greet us and were all friendly

I really love this bakery! I've been searching around the Cities for a good panadería, and this is easily one of the best. A couple of times I came in and they were completely out of bread--but the owner was kind enough to text me when a fresh batch came in, which I really appreciated. If you can, definitely try to grab the bread when it's fresh--it makes all the difference! The pricing is pretty reasonable for Minnesota, especially considering how few panaderías there are around. The fresh conchas are fantastic. They've also recently added a hot food menu, which I'm excited to try next time. Highly recommend checking this place out

Walked over this morning for pastries and coffee. The pastries are lined up when you walk in and you are given a plate and tongs to get all you want. The pastries are in varying price ranges. Only suggestion is a few more signs of what all the delicious pastries are. Coffee was good and hot and served in to go cups which I like even when eating in so that I can take it to go. We got one strawberry pastry and one bread that was stuffed with cheese, ham and jalapeños. The bread was light and fluffy and a great complement to the savory interior. They toasted it for me when I asked. There was no menu out but after we ordered we heard others order breakfast sandwiches which looked amazing enough for me to return tomorrow. Overall cute bakery in a house with very fair priced food. 4% charge on a credit card and plenty of free street parking on Saturday morning.

This weekend, we tried this viral local Mexican cafe on Lyndale for incredibly affordable and comforting Mexican sweet breads. The aroma of fresh baked bread fills this tiny cafe as an extensive collection of pastries is continuously stocked from the kitchen oven. We tried numerous pastries, as well as one of their three sandwich offerings. The chicken sandwich was made with fresh ingredients in their fluffy in-house bread, with jalapeños for a rather fiery kick. For the price of USD 1.5-2, you can find a buttery empanada, an airy Concha with a sweet Vanilla shell for the perfect crackle, or even a tender bread roll stuffed with chicken and zesty jalapeños. While we did find their sponge cake and flaky pastries to be a little dry, this place definitely gives value for money with their authentic Mexican breads.

The place is cute and the staff were really friendly and helpful, but the food was not good. We tried three bakery items and a breakfast sandwich. The sandwich was ok. The bakery items were like the stuff that's been sitting in the display cases at Cub for a week.

We had an amazing Cubano and the staff was very friendly! There's a cute patio spot too.

Glad this place opened up close by. Husband and I have walked here multiple times and we will be back to try the yummy looking French toast.

I live in Oregon. My bestie and her daughter moved from here to Minneapolis area awhile back. I wanted her to have a Mil Hojas cake for her birthday since I can't be there with her to celebrate. Found Papa Chuy's here on Yelp a few days ago. . I called them and asked if they could make her one and deliver it to her two days later. They were so helpful and accommodating. It was not a close-by delivery for them. It probably took them 30-50 minutes each direction, but they didn't hesitate and sent me photo confirmation upon delivery. Made the whole process extremely easy. Great communication and service all throughout. My friend got her cake today and Mil Hojas is her favorite. Couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you Papa Chuy's! You'd better believe I'll be calling again to order.

The food was super good, very quiet atmosphere. I am a Spanish speaker so it was easy to communicate with everyone. The concha was super soft and not dry on the inside. Sandwiches were great too!

I would give it over 5 stars if I could, very good food!! People working were very kind and welcoming.

Dude what? I'm surprised these guys weren't packed with a full line of folks. This food was immaculate. And it was with good quality.

Pastries were absolutely wonderful, staff were extremely helpful and kind, space was charming!

Pastrami sandwich 10/10. Service 10/10. Great local bakery definitely worth a visit! They have a ton of pasties both sweet and savory. They are new so please ask questions!

The food was spot on. It's a converted house on Lyndale and 24th. I was impressed with the service and it looks like the locals go there. They use Peet's coffee. And they serve you a good quantity. Had a breakfast sandwich on fresh baked Bolillo. Highly recommend it.

Really great prices on some really great fresh baked goods. This might be my new spot!!
