Welcome to Bakery Makel

"First visit to this bakery, so I didn’t know what to expect. I came in two days ahead to place an order, and they said they didn’t have time to make a couple of the things I asked for. I agreed with what the staff member suggested: guava, coco, and carne pastries. I even asked what specific carne it was, and they said “ground beef”. When I picked up the order, I even asked again for confirmation of if the carne needed to stay warm, and the staff member said “no”. When I opened up the package and took a bite, it definitely wasn’t carne, but queso. Not sure if they weren’t able to make the carne, or if it was just a mix up. They could’ve called me and said they couldn’t do carne and I would’ve understood. And this what the staff suggested I ordered. The guava and coco pastries were very delicious, and those that I shared them with enjoyed them. Very flaky, buttery, and not too sweet. Just the execution of the order was a little off. I thought the value was okay, you got a lot of pastries for the amount paid, maybe twice what you would pay at a large supermarket. These pastries seemed more authentic though, so it was okay."

"The food is 11 out of 10 so far! Only place I found locally that truly fresh squeezes the orange juice in front of you and there is nothing more truly energizing in the morning 🍊 Service is always good, but not spectacular in the atmosphere is clean and safe, but the neighborhood isn’t the best and it’s certainly not slick or totally modern."
