La Monarca Bakery - South Pasadena

This Bakery/Coffee Shop is great. They offer cakes, cookies, pan dulce, food, coffee, lattes, smoothies and more. The bread is soft and has a good layer sweet topping. The coffee has a slight bitterness to it, but adding some chocolate and cream helps make is amazing. Staff are nice and the vibe in the shop is comfortable and non rushing. I felt I could take my time but not hold up a line. Definitely coming back.

Excellent taste and quality... the service was 10 stars and loved it. The tres leches latte is amazing. I?ll definitely be back!

Beautiful bakery! I bought a dozen mini conchas for my son to bring to school and they are beautiful and look so delicious. As for the cupcakes ???? shop was very organized and clean. Can't wait to come back

Been meaning to try this bakery out was craving some baked goods after a long day. So decided to Postmates some things to try. I 'm I glad did since most items were quite good. ITEM 'S ORDERED: Bolitas de Dulce (chocolate) Danish Mini Concha Confetti Mini Concha Cuernito (Croissant) Trenza Ham, Cheese Jalepeno TASTE: This might be the first time I 've had these Mexican baked goods from an actual bakery not just from a local Mexican market. So was curious how muchbetter (if any) the quality would be. Bolitas de Dulce (chocolate) was one of my least favorites. Nothing so bad I didn 't finish it though. It 's pretty much chocolate icing (w/ sprinkles) on top of a sweet bun. The bun itself was a subtlesweetness which was nice because the icing is very sweet. The chocolate icing really does taste like the Sara lee or Pillsburry one you pick up in grocery aisles. So if you like that flavor you 'll enjoy this. The Danish was basically avery good cheese danish. Very common type of danish and this one is very well made. Cheese has a pleasant flavor, not like the cheese danish you 'll find at gas stations. the dough was very fresh. The Mini Concha was a chocolate one thatwas just ok for me. Bread is good I just didn 't love the chocolate flavor, seemed a little washed out. Confetti Mini Concha was one of my favorites. It 's supposed to be confetti birthday cake flavor that just comes off as an invitingvanilla flavor. Cuernito (Croissant) was a very well made croissant. Nice flaky texture buttery enough. Trenza Ham, Cheese Jalepeno kind of comes off like a ham cheese panini. Little salty for me wish it had more jalepeno. Thegreen salsa was tasty worked well to enhance overall flavor. SERVICE, LOCATION, PARKING: No comments on service since this was delivered through Postmates. But I do like their branded bag the food came in. They are located right onthe corner of Mission St Meridian Ave. If you 're lucky you 'll find street parking right on Mi

Terrible place so sad. Worthless drive. They didn?t have the Oaxaca Expresso and didn?t have Mexican Expresso, nor the Del Carmen! They had issues with the Apple Pay machine. I ended up buying a champurrado which was not good at all! One of the employees was cleaning up around us and making so much noise dragging the chairs and tables making a loud squicky sound. Never going back nor would recommend it!
