Sunrise Bakery — Restaurant in South Padre Island

I was excited to try this bakery, but after having our sweets, unfortunately the only way I can sum it up is the pastries were overpriced for the lackluster flavor.

The quality of the croissants themselves are fantastic, they are nice and soft with a proper flakey exterior- if there’s anything I can recommend it would be to just order the plain croissants…but unfortunately I was very disappointed with the sweet versions. I appreciate the mention on their website about using higher quality ingredients, but that does not mean everything should lack flavor.

I ordered a pistachio croissant, a pumpkin croissant and a cinnamon roll. in the pistachio they were only filled with pastry cream and unfortunately nothing about it tasted like pistachio. The pumpkin croissant was also filled with cream but unfortunately it was also bland and tasted more like a vanilla custard than anything related to pumpkin spice flavors. I ordered a cinnamon roll which was the best option out of these, but it was slightly overcooked and is incredibly overpriced at $12.

The interior was nice and clean but the baristas were not very helpful when I was trying to order.

I really wanted to love this place but unfortunately they are...

This is a whole weird thing. I’ll start with the positives.

The baked goods here are the best in the island and a top contender for the valley as a whole. Majority to the staff are nice.

Negatives. The baked goods are very pricey for the valley. I feel they are worth it but still very expensive. A chocolate croissant cost over 6 dollars. A stuffed Croissant cost over 12 dollars. I bought three baked goods a matcha and a americano- it’s cost about $50x

The espresso is over extracted. If you don’t have a pallet for it you won’t notice. I wish that was the biggest issue with the coffee. Each time I’ve gone the barista on espresso has been very standoffish and borderline rude. The best way I can explain is when you know a staff member absolutely hates interacting with people but forces a very fake smile that’s about two second from exploding.

That type of interaction honestly makes the entire place feel off. It’s also seems like the staff in the front of house in on edge. Like everyone can get chewed out by their boss at any moment.

Maybe I’m wrong! At the very least the baked...

Disappointed! I reached out to this bakery to make a custom cake for my uncles 60th Birthday a week before it was needed. They confirmed this was enough time and stated we're going to get a quote together and call me back in one hour. I confirmed they had the correct contact information, but unfortunately I did not receive a callback that day (Saturday) or the next. I forgot to call Sunday before they closed as they are two hours ahead of my time zone and they are closed Monday so I followed up on Tues. I received a quote said it will be ready noon Saturday, but they would confirm with the baker and call me back the next morning. I didn't not receive a call. I was obviously started to get worried so I called every day and different time. No answer and it started to go straight to voice mail. Then my partner saw a post on instagram saying they would be closed all weekend.

This bakery is unreliable and unprofessional. All i needed was a simple call back to say you cannot fulfill the order so I can make other plans. Don't just ghost people. It's rude and now I have to give you...
