Casa Latina Bakery

“not even kidding as a solo diner i rly appreciate that the staff here is genuinely friendly and remembers regular customers. they make you feel welcome whether youre grabbing a quick pastry or sitting with coffee”

“the counter seating is limited adn kinda cramped so during busy weekend mornings its hard to find a comfortable spot to enjoy your food”

“their empanadas have a nice flaky crust and the beef filling has some actual spice to it - not nashville hot level but enough heat to keep things interesting”

“the horchata was way too sweet and lacking the cinnamon spice i'd expect tasted more like sugar water than the complex drink it should be”

“their conchas are absolutely divine for a weekend morning treat - perfectly sweet soft bread with that signature crumbly sugar topping. way better than any chain bakery”

“tbh tehy dont realy do a proper brunch menu so if youre looking for eggs benedict or mimosas youll need to go elsewhere”

“legit tehir tortas are massive loaded sandwiches that remind me of a really good po boy - crusty bread generous fillings and enough to fuel you for hours”

“no beer selection at all which feels like a missed opportunity for a place serving this kinda hearty comfort food”

“their tres leches cake is incredible - reminds me of the best dolci from my travels in latin america. the cake is perfectly moist without being soggy and the cream mixture is absolutely heavenly”

“thier coffee is weak and bitter tho nothing like the strong smooth ESPRESSO this type of bakery should be serving alongside their beautiful pastries no joke”

“thier jalapeno and cheese pupusas have some serious heat - finally found a place in berkeley that actually understands spice and doesn't water it down”

“yo teh curtido slaw lacks that tangy punch you want as a cooling thing against the spicy food”

“so like tehy have a bunch of vegan options including bean adn cheese pupusas without lard and the staff actually knew which stuff i could eat lol”

“vegetarian tamales were kinda dry adn could've used more filling relative to the masa”
