La Espiga De Oro Bakery — Restaurant in Laurel

I love this place. Their freshly baked sweet breads/pastries are delicious and they have a big selection. I have also tasted the cakes for special occasions; the chocolate cakes are decadent, the tres leches cake is perfectly sweet and moist, the fruit cakes are spongy and scrumptious, with each bite you just want more. They also have a very unique birthday money cake where the b-day boy/girl pulls a string of money from the cake. The Horchata drink that I ordered is Amazing, but they have many more drinks to choose from. The times that I have visited the bakery, like for Dia de Los Reyes to get my Rosca de Reyes, they have had heavy traffic of customers buying pasties, cakes and also prepared food that is warm and ready to be served, but they are very quick to to serve, dispatch and take care of the customers. Overall I enjoy my visits and their food...

I went to this bakery full of excitement to have Latino baked goods that I used to have back in MN, and boy, was I disappointed. All the baked goods were dry and tasted old. I bought 8 different pastries, and they were all subpar. The cakes looked amazing, but I didn't buy any. The staff ignored me, thinking I couldn't understand them, and people jumped in front of me, demanding help. It's a small bakery and has a small hot food section. The baked goods I bought were rock hard the next day and were thrown away. It was a total waste of money. My cashier grunted for me to come to the counter, I understand she didn't speak English, which was no big deal, she did try, she said Thank you and Goodbye, 😊 and off I went. I'll find another Latino Bakery before I go back to this place due to the quality of food or...

There are 2 locations and the original has sweet people working, even on hectic days they keep a good attitude. I love getting their sweet breads, tamales pan frances and of course cakes for special occasions. Today is my son's birthday so we went for the chocolate flavored cake that has fruit on top and since it had cherries his favorite that's the one for today. My family have been enjoying their treats for over 15 years and as long as their still around that's our number one choice. 2nd location is nearer to my house and I finally tried their food. I will say those pupusas were the best I've had since the motherland. Macaroni salad and carne guisado is heavenly. Now those are my taste buds but I do recommend you go. Near Route 1 near the flea market Do it,...
