The place is incredibly clean, which is always a plus! The variety isn't as extensive as the panaderia I typically go to, but they still offer the essentials like conchas, muffins, cookies and empanadas... there's also a coffee bar which pairs perfectly with one of the baked goodies.

Busy as usual great choice of pan Dulce and drinks enough parking space and delicious tres leches

Baked goods from Aranda's always fresh and consistently tasty. They carry a wide variety of sweets and cookies with hispanic DNA. Also FRESH bolillos whenever the store is open. They seem to do tremendous business in custom cakes for birthdays, weddings, etc. Tres leches of 5 or six varieties, rice pudding. I have been customer there since it opened, and will continue to go whenever my sweet tooth demands. Guava empanadas, cinnamon rolls, sugar cookies, keep calling me back.

Wall to wall pastries and desserts on the left side of the store. On the right a wall of drinks. Right next in the middle as you walk in you're greater by a case of desserts and a cashier ready to ring you up. Pastries are priced on average $1-3. The wide variety of pastries goes from cookies, muffins to more Hispanic offerings such as conchas, marranitos and guava filled flaky pastries. They also have their famous tres leches available by the slice or the sheet. My favorite are the cheese filled cuernos as the creamy cheese pairs well either way the slightly sweet dough it is paired with. I wish there was a closer location to Sugar Land/Katy but the location keeps me from going every day . If you're in the area absolutely drop by and try something.

I ordered this cake over the phone for a birthday. It was a bit difficult since I don't speak Spanish, but they were patient and accommodating and we were able to get the order in and ready for that same day. I'm knocking a star off because the call dropped 4-5 times and every time I called back we would get confused on what I was wanting and then they'd put me on hold for a long time. But!! My order was ready after less than 2 hours of placing it. I had to make a deposit of $10 over the phone and then paid $22 when I picked it up. $32 for this beautiful 8in cake is an amazing price!! Also the cake tasted DELICIOUS and everyone who tried it agreed. When I picked it up, I found the bakery to be very open and inviting. They had pastries all around the walls. I'll be coming back to try something new!

Bolillos are 60cents each and pastries i got in pic were $1.25 each. The pastry with almonds was surprisingly filled with cream cheese and a grape- tasting filling and was delicious just like the bolillo. The humidity did not affect the bolillos as they were hard on outside and soft and squishy inside. The line was long at first and then another checker opened up. Place is well lit and big, with pastries in cases. Grab a tray and tongs on way in. The names of the pastries was pretty much unreadable, but i am sure everything is tasty.

The Troggs and later Wet Wet Wet said that Love Is All Arandas, and when you try some of the items from this bakery, you'll agree. This is a chain bakery, from the same folks that bring you Taqueria Arandas (one of the best late night options in Houston, many locations). And so far, every location I've visited makes really good top-notch Mexican pastries and all kinds of goodies. We like it a lot and we've been to many of them, and this one is pretty close to Chinatown and not too far from where we live, so we come here on a fairly regular basis. I think they make everything very well. It's not in the best area in terms of crime and crazy driving, but neither was your mother last night. Now apparently this review was illegal, and now we're surrounded. There are cops all Arandas. Let's eat.

Aranda's bakery makes me like sweets! Imagine waking up on Sunday morning, starting your fresh coffee, drive down the street and enter a bakery wonderland filled with all kinds of sweets for ANY person including people who don't like sweets that much. As you enter to your right you will find a big sheet pan with tongs. Make your way down the many displays of sweets and some savory items such as fresh kolaches and bread. All items don't exceed $1.50 It's like a dollar store for goodies! You go for one treat and you end up buying 25 treats with a bill of less than 15$. Everyone is nice and friendly, cards accepted. Don't feel intimidated, just go. Again soooo many treats! From cookies to churros dipped in Nutella from conchas to blueberry danishes. Omg.

I swear I had an review at Arandas Bakery from years ago. Anyways... It's a major improvement since last time I was here. Everything is still wide open, even before Covid-19 pandemic. Yelp prompted me to ask is it "open for dine in". I guess they saw Maria S wrote. With so many people crowding the store during the holidays, there was no place to walk in the store. So the answer is no. The improvement was the staff became more attentive and friendlier toward me, a non-Latino person (they don't know I'm a Hispanic). The products were fresher than I originally wrote. It is like I found a new breakfast spot that opens all day. Tamales are tasty. They came in a pack of 3. I can mix half chicken and half pork. Chicken is supposed to be spicier. They both use red sauce, pork tamales got darker center. Otherwise, I couldn't tell them from the husks. Empanadas were so soft, I think it was supposed to be crunchy but that was last batch of the day. Because she said only chicken left. It's baked. And, I need a plate and fork to indulge. I just wish they label each bread with name, price and allergens ingredients. I really want to try those new breads in the display cases. With self serve coffee and chocolate machines, I would need to find a park nearby to enjoy.

I have to say that I have no idea why there were so many people that rated Arandas Bakery so low. This place has just about everything that somebody craving pan dulce would need! They have cute little emoji cookies and all sorts of cool conchas! Even unicorn conchas! I didn't see one thing that this place lacked.. They were very covid safe and had somebody with a mask and gloves pick the pastries for you so there wasn't many people going near the open items. Would definitely return! Ignore these other ratings! Lol
