Mi Panaderia Bakery

During my recent trip to Lubbock, Texas, I embarked on a crucial culinary mission: locating the perfect, authentic spot for pan dulce, and I struck gold when I discovered Mi Panaderia Bakery. This adorable little shop is the quintessential travel find, immediately charming me with its warm atmosphere and intoxicating aroma of cinnamon and freshly baked yeast. Stepping inside, I was delighted to find display cases brimming with pristine conchas, cuernos, and empanadas, each one looking better than the last. Every single pastry I sampled was strikingly fresh and undeniably delicious, truly confirming that Mi Panaderia is the premier destination for Mexican sweet bread in the area. This local bakery is now firmly bookmarked on my itinerary, and I will absolutely be stopping by again next time

Stopped in early this morning to get pan dulce for some new hires that were starting today. In my experience, if you go early, you get the freshest bread…not in this case. I feel I bought yesterdays bread. Nothing was fresh, everything stale. Most panaderías will have leftover bread sectioned separately, with proper signage and at times discounted. I paid $16 for stale bread that was nearly impossible to eat. I will give this place another try as so many rave about it but I will inquire what is old compared to fresh, if I have to, I will take a bite and pay before purchasing $16 worth again.

The sweet bread was very good and they had a nice variety of items. The morning that we went, the lady working was not very friendly. She didn't seem like she wanted to be at work. The utensils were being reused by customers. So the spread of germs was for sure. I gave her my set and she looked surprised. I asked her if they were cleaning them after every use and she hesitated and then said, "yes, just leave them here on the counter and I will clean it."

Simply delicious. The assortment of pastries was incredible. Very polite. Drive up, walk in, grab what you want, pay, go. Simple. Easy. Delicious.

Great selection, if I want to treat me and and the kids, this is my go-to place! Love the conchas and sweet bread!
