La Perla Tapatia Bakery - Jimenez — Restaurant in Jefferson Township

I love pastries... and as along as I have lived in the area, have walked around the area, I have never set foot into this little gem of a bakery. I needed to get a birthday cake for my nephew's birthday and I didn't want to go to the big box grocery store around my house. The hubby suggested that we go here to pick up a cake. So here was my dilemma, it's a Sunday, it's late afternoon... is it going to be open?! And to our surprise, it was... they are open from 6am until 10pm everyday. We walked in and they were STOCKED with all sorts of cakes for purchase! They had cookies, muffins, pastries, breads... OMG, I was in carb heaven! LOL! We had such a hard time picking out a cake because they had so many to choose from but we picked it and the ladies that worked there were able to add "Happy Birthday" to the cake for us.

The combination of cleanliness, welcoming atmosphere, and classic Mexican breads adds to the overall positive experience at La Perla Tapatia Bakery.

I highly recommend this bakery to anyone looking to try something new and immerse themselves in flavors of a...
