Vivian's Bakery

My mom and I will drive hours to get somewhere where the pan dulce is to our standard… this is one of those places. We don’t buy as much bread as we used to when we were fatties but we still gotta have our fix sometimes and we spoke about it recently, we’re going to stop giving new bakeries a chance and just go here because this is the only place that has NEVERRRR left us disappointed when we got home and took a bite. I love everything I’ve tried here!! She would tell me to try an atole when I was younger and I always didn’t want to, but now as an adult I am obsessed with their atole. In line you’ll hear people whisper to each other they’re getting the atole de nuez (walnut) and I’ve heard it’s really good but my absolute favorite is GUAYABA. It does not taste like guavas it tastes like a sip of heaven Jesus Christ it’s hard to explain but if you like sweet you’ll love it! Please be patient the line goes by quick and the cashiers are very fast and attentive. If you want to try some GREAT pan dulce please give them a try! Worth the drive!

Really good Bread with a good selection. Authentic. The Atoles and Champurrados are really good. I have been coming to this place for the pass 6 years. The bread is cook daily.

Little Bakery inside the swap meet, but the best hidden gem. Pastries and Mexican breads are the best! Freshly made! Highly recommend

Delicioso...pan estilo DF....you can make your order...

Ordered a cake and was not done with the decoration I wanted or the filling I paid extra for and they did not even write the birthday message.

So disappointed!! I bought 2 slices of tres leches cake and the milk was expired 😡.

Everything fresh as it should be good selection of Mexican munchies

I like to but a role de cajeta and its good

8/31/24 Another draft unloaded... 9/1/23 Hubby picked up the last few piggies left. This cake looks delicious! The lady says the baker is old school:)) Not entirely sure what the sweet bread is called but it's in the shape of a pig, naturally, Hubby calls them "piggies". It's his favorite pan dulce & out of all the bakeries that actually make these, this ONE is the best he says coz it reminds him of his childhood. A few things in life bring us back to that special place when we had hardly any worries except that dreaded dentist visit and cavities (yikes!). The interaction between my husband & the lady who tends this little bakery located inside of Plaza Mexico is genuinely friendly & attentive. She tells us that the best day to visit is Sunday morning when the piggies are the freshest & plentiful. If he could buy them all, he would. Whenever he's craving these pan dulces, we drive over to Plaza Mexico & get them little piggies

This is the place I'll drive on the freeway during a rainstorm for some good pan dulce. Located in plaza Mexico shopping center, surrounded by various other bakeries and shops for Mexican delights... but this little bakery is the winner. My mom and I are very picky when it comes to our pan dulce. It's been a staple in our home growing up and now in my home it is still there on my dining table to share with my friends. Vivian's bakery has the soft, flavorful, delicious sweet bread with the best recipes. I can taste the difference in the bread here compared to any other bakery. It's just better! Trust me. The customer service is really great as well! I've been here on my good days as well as my bad days, and the owner has been gracious with me. Even once, I was short on cash and asked her to take out a piece and she smiled at me and said to bring what I owe for next time. Such a sweet lady! I can rave about the bread all day, but I've also got to mention a special item here. They serve atole, which is hard for me to explain what it is. It's not like coffee, it's thick but not like oatmeal. There's several flavors but the best one I've had here is also a rare flavor, I've never seen this offered anywhere else and it's... GUAYABA (guava). The guayaba atole is SO DELICIOUS. I can't even begin to explain what it tastes like! It's just GOOD and sweet, so if you don't like sweet I wouldn't recommend. But also, while in line I ALWAYS overhear people say they're getting the Nuez (walnut) atole. So that's really popular too. I wasn't a fan, though. Anyway, please give this place your business if you want to try some GOOD pan dulce and maybe some of their other treats. You won't be disappointed!

Quisiera darle estrellas pero no puedo Por favor contraten a otra persona más amable esta señora es muy lenta y no tiene nada de personalidad dura como 10 minutos para atender a una persona para cobrarle y darle un pan con café

I went in there and bought a tres leches piece of cake and that piece had mold spots all over I don't recommend you guys go in there if you do check the piece before you purchase the piece it might have mold

The atoles drinks here are so delicious that I crave atole during the summers as well. Haven't had their pasties but they look scrumptious as well. The queue system is a bit disorganized but the ladies manning this humble abode help things move quickly.

I purchase a birthday cake last minute .omg one of the best tres leches cake I had taste.it was not super sweet like most all bakeries do it .it was delicious. Will definitely go back

Bought a tres leches cake here based on reviews it was supposed to be great. It wasn't. Unfortunately it tastes terrible and was dry. Maybe a pre order freshly made tres leches cake would have tasted good. However don't buy the ones behind the window as it seems they are sitting there for several days. Or at least the one I got tasted as though it had been. Sorry to say, as I was really hoping the tres leches cake would taste good but it all went to the trash.

I asked for the first image and received the cake in the second image. I paid $170 for my cake to look like this.. if I would've known they weren't gonna be able to achieve the cake look that I wanted I would've went with something easier and more simple.

Came here to check out the champurrado that my sister spoke very highly of. She disappointed me and later apologized because she too agreed that the champurrado didn't taste the same as it usually does. So I'll be glad to give this place a second chance & try some of the other champurrado flavors the lady offers on a cold rainy day.

Tres leches cake and cake pop were good. The other bread pastries were only ok, better in the toaster. I would get the cake items again! Prices decent.

This place by far one of the best panaderias around. You need to try their pineapple empanadas, jalapeño bolillo, niñons envueltos, and did I mention anything pineapple... Lol... This place is always packed... People usually waiting for the champorado... I make it a must stop before I head back to the Great North.

This place suck big times! Bolillo is hard compared to other good bakeries. Saw roaches around the bottom trays and they tried to cover up the problem . Some of their bread is burnt. I don't recommend this stinking place. Avoid it at all cost. You might get sick to your stomach ....careful, they will tell you they are the best and to not go anywhere else....the only thing they are good at is sweet talking, so you can buy their BS...
