Ponce's Bakery — Restaurant in Downey

Ponce's is located in a strip mall and parking is a bear in their lot, get over it and find a space and go in. It is a tiny place and a little warm inside, get over that as well.

The service is super sweet and sometimes the owner is there and if not you may see his brother, a super nice man.

Champurrado is good there also, piping hot and very...

Ponce’s bakery is the best in the west, the owners and employees are very polite and friendly. They are very helpful and attentive to customers who are physically disabled!
