Panaderia La Pequeña — Restaurant in Anaheim

I very much enjoy frequenting this establishment, particularly whilst armed with greenbacks. My favorite panecitos(buns) are the piedras(rocks) and puerquitos(piglets), as well as the conchas(shells) for my mother.

Gallons of Rockview 2% and whole fat milk are conveniently sold below pints of the same in addition to chocolate and strawberry varieties, as well as orange juice.

They had not made the piedras two days in a row and I decidedly fell into a state of mild languish. I asked on the second time for an explanation. I was calmly informed they were not made that day. The piedras were subsequently reinstated into the bakery’s repertoire, and I am precariously grateful for this.

I myself am not often a fan of sweet coffee anymore, and a slightly younger version of me would have very much enjoyed the café served here.

The taste of the piedras and puerquitos are the platinum standard as both types are well spiced with subtle overlays of cinnamon and sweetness. The textures are tender and not excessively brittle. Such bread hardly lasts long on the countertop at home.

The prices are well serving.

Closed on Mondays.

Cheers, y que vive el éxito...

Go early! I went on a Saturday at like 12pm and the sign said "closed" but people were inside, so I took a chance. The empty tracks explained the closed sign. They only had sugar cookies (happy face, sprinkles, chocolate chips). I didn't want to leave empty handed - esp after wanting to try this panaderia - so I left with some cookies. And my goodness, I can see why they were sold out 3hrs before their listed hours. The sugar cookies are so SOFT and possibly one of the best. I want to try going earlier next time and try their bread! These cookies...

The best Conchas I have ever had! The bread was soft, light, and fluffy. Perfection! The órelas (puff pastry cookies) were light, sweet, flaky, and crisp. The prices were very reasonable, especially considering the high quality of the food. Be sure to get there as early as possible. I got there at 6 am and there was already a line. The line moves fast, though. The staff is very friendly. Please remember to bring cash. And the location is close to the hotels...
