Monica's Bakery

"Cute little authentic Mexican bakery, with all the pastries fresh on the baker sheets. All you need to do is grab some tongs and a tray and grab everything that looks yummy! I tried a few different pastries which were all delicious so I assume the same goes for their whole menu. Any pastry they had with crema (cream) was incredible and their concha’s were fluffy and not overly sweet."

"Go daily at 6pm. For fresh, hot out of the oven, Conchas! The best in Long Beach!"

"Cute little shop and great bread! A bit crammed but lots of options and even drinks. I tried the chocolate covered donut which was okay, but the conchas were really fluffy and not too sweet. There were some small neapolitan sugar cookies which were really soft and tasty. Overall, great little shop with nice workers and fresh pastries."

"This place is very small, people kept bumping into me with their trays. I've bought 8 small pastries they looked like miniature Mexican bread they could have passed for small cookies, champurado and an oatmeal drink. Well I found out I was charged 16 dollars for just the bread. The champurado was water down with out flavor, the oatmeal drink was good. Over all their high prices and quality of their drinks (champurado) and the small space, I would not recommend it."

"Nice bakery, you can see the bread being made and it gets sold directly off the rack used to bake it. Many bakers dont like giving fresh hot breads because they say the batch that is already put out is fresh. But here it seems they sold this problem but wheeling the rack directly to place for people to choose their own bread with tongs."
