Guatepan Bakery

After concluding an art class nearby, my friend and I visited this small but mighty bakery. It was near Mother's Day, so the aromas of all those baked and beautifully decorated Mother's Day cakes were plentiful. My friend spoke Spanish to the lady behind the counter, and we wanted something fruity. We were led to some baked treats, and we purchased Apple-filled turnovers, cherry turnovers, and guava turnovers. All the pastries were delicious. The crusts were flaky, but I wish the filling were more abundant. The fillings were not made from scratch, but it does scratch the itch. The next time I visit, I will be trying their sweet breads.

Great little spot to pick up a pastry and go sit next to the lake. The coffee and guava pastry were very good and the service was excellent. Prices were very good. I did speak Spanish which may have helped with service. Will definitely be back.

We bought a cake for a birthday, it was very unpleasant to find out on the day of the holiday that the cake was already spoiled and sour, apparently it had been under glass for a long time. Not surprising, because there is no marking of the date of manufacture on the cake, and no one warns that the cake can be stored for no more than a couple of hours, although I suspect that it was spoiled already on the day of purchase. The cake had to be thrown away.

Plenty of options for pastry with good taste. They also offers cake with customized picture on it which is quiet expensive. But over all good tasting sweets and options for puff pastry!!

I have been here around 3 times. Always have a hard time ordering over the phone in english because it is a spanish bakery but they try. the last time i went i ordered over the phone. the women confirmed my order told me to come in before 6. I said i’d be there by 5. I got there and she had sold the last cake to someone else. i asked why? and she just kept saying no.
