Bakery La Mejor, Union City CA

Love this panadería! Moved to the Bay Area during the pandemic and this was the first bakery I’ve been too and haven’t gone anywhere else. The people are super nice and the bread itself is amazing! There’s a reason for their 4 star rating and the quality of the bread is. Please support this shop as it’s a family owned business!

I had a full house of family visit and I bought a box for everyone. Not a single person liked it, 19 people ate and we ended throwing everything away. Bread felt real old the only reason I drove there for the first time because of 4.3 rating! It shouldn't even have a 3 star.

I was craving pan and I haven’t been here in years and thought I’d try it again. I was impressed by how the pan looked, elegant and of quality however, the looks don’t match the taste. I tried the cookie with pink layered glaze which I found to be too hard that I had to dip and soak it in my coffee, I have tried these cookies from other places and they are soft which is the way I like them. I also tried a Guayaba puff pastry and found it to be the same.
Also, they have significantly increased their prices per piece. This cookie was 3$
I wish they had samples before spending 40$ on 12 pieces of assortment of pan, I don’t mind paying a high price but I expect the taste/quality to match the price.
And to my surprise they charged 3.00$ for the carton box that they packed the pan into! WTH? ! I found it to be absurd! I would not be surprised if next they want to charge for a printed receipt!
I definitely won’t be coming here anymore.

Alicia was so kind and helpful, the pastries were delicious and the customer service was amazing. Absolutely will be making this a regular stop for treats!

I have been going to this bakery with my family for so many years. We have always had a great experience and it is a family-run bakery. The staff members have always been very friendly and the bread is delicious. You really can't go wrong with anything from this bakery, but I always recommend this place to everyone I know!

Do not even think about it.its stale and tastes like cr@&. Asked for a napkin, and was given a single sheet.

I’m new to this area and I recently purchased a single piece of bread to try it out. It was expensive and left a lard coated flavor in my mouth for hours. The bread was hard and did not feel fresh. As I was getting ready to post my review I saw other comments about the bread being expensive and not great quality. I am happily willing to spend on bread as long as it is good quality. I will definitely not be returning to this bakery. I will have to drive a little further to my favorite bakeries that are more affordable and better quality.

I called today yo see if they had “Rosca de Reyes” a Mexican tradition celebrated on Jan 6th and they told me that the price range from $70-$100 depending of the side. The price is ridiculously expensive. I decided to go to a Mexican bakery in Newark and I paid for a medium rosca $35.00
