La Castellana Bakery

They are selling expired items and re- label the item. This soda expired on July 2025 and is was re-label to may 2026. I will be reporting to local health department or Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH) on this store

I don't usually give a 1 star but my treatment felt race based. I was the only non Hispanic person in a long line, and I was given a short rushed answer when asking a single question, as well as being given a smaller slice of cake (literally moved a larger one to give me the smaller one). But beyond all of that, the baked goods just aren't actually good. The tres leches seemed to be a uno leches that just used regular whole milk. I also had a version in a cup and while it looks delicious, it tastes like stale old cake that didn't sell, that was then drenched in milk. Surprisingly for this one the milk seemed to use 2 types. But it wasn't sweet and the cake just wasn't good. Save your time and money. Especially if you're not Hispanic.

I’m extremely disappointed with my experience at La Castellana Bakery. I recently purchased bread and when I got home, I discovered it was moldy! It’s completely unacceptable. I won’t be returning, and I suggest others think twice before shopping here.

This place is such a gem and is one of the things that makes waltham such a special place to live. In the morning you can smell the bread across the street and it is amazing. I love that the breads are just sweet enough, and price is excellent. One of my favorite things is taking some la castallana rolls and a coffee to the charles river for breakfast. My wife and I will usually buy 30 or so rolls from them at a time and keep them in our freezer to put in the air fryer for breakfast. The staff is very friendly.

The energy's chill, the treats are divine, and the prices are reasonable. My partner and I make it a point to swing by at least once a week. We're talking top-notch quality, fresh from the oven. Can't beat the love and care they put into every cake and pastry. This bakery's got soul!
