Pacific French Bakery

This is a great place if you want French rolls. The sandwich kind you know the good ones make hoagies or pastrami or any good old deli sandwich. The only problem is the young lady who works there does not speak English and communicating can be a problem if you don’t speak Spanish. But the bread if you want it crispy or you want it soft then you’ve got it and it is good

There are a few essential items that absolutely need to be acquired for a traditional Thanksgiving dinner. For those who are of Salvadoran descent, the infamous «Pan Con Pavo» is the holy grail of any Thanksgiving dinner. And if you’re lucky enough… maybe even Christmas Eve & New Years. To my luck (or lack there of) on the morning of Thanksgiving, one important item was missing for our dinner: The Bolillos. Instead of making a quick run to the local market chains in our town, my Father suggested we go to this Bakery. My initial thoughts was, «Why drive two towns over?». Needless to say, I had enough room to eat my words after dinner.
After about a 15 – 20 minute drive, we found ourselves in the parking lot of the Bakery. Upon entering the bakery, I noticed a wide variety of sweet bread — both Mexican and Central American. I was immediately impressed with the amount of Salvadoran sweet bread they carried at this Bakery.
Being that we were there on Thanksgiving morning, the Bolillos were warm and right out of the oven. They also had «Pan Francés» as an option, if that’s more of your taste.
Some things to note if you plan on going for a trip: Note that it’s cash only. They don’t accept credit or debit, which is usually the norm for Bakeries in East Los Angeles — No biggie. Also, parking is VERY limited, so be mindful of that as well.
Being open on a Holiday morning is a HUGE plus. I have nothing but good things to say about this bakery. Job well done!

Primera y ultima vez. porque?
He pasado varias veces sobre la olympic blvd. y mirado un anuncio que tiene frente a este negocio que dice tortas a 2.50 con una foto la cual se antoja. pero no habia tenido la oportunidad de pasar hasta el dia de hoy. asi que entro y pido una torta de jamon y la señorita me pregunta con aguacate o sin aguacate y le digo damela como esta en el anuncio «Tortas $ 2.50 „Y dice es que no son 2.50 son 2.75 asi que le pregunto y por que no lo cambian o lo quitan sabias que eso es falsa publicidad y con una sonrisa se dirigio a la encargada la cual inmediatamente fue y lo metio. para esto la que me estaba preparando la torta se dirigio con su companera y le dijo; „Te dije que no lo sacaramos“. Para esto al momento de pagar me cobraron $ 2.75 y le dije No. Ahi decia $ 2.50 y me dijo si, pero ya no. entonces le dije“ No quiero nada, devuelveme mi dinero» Y dirigiendose a la encargada le dijo: Ya no la quiere. y la encargada le contesto: «Dale el dinero».
1.- Eso fue falsa publicidad
2.- Nadie incluyendo la encargada tomo accion para solucionar el errror.
3.- Como cliente me senti menospreciada
4.- y el hecho es indignante ya que es la accion y no el valor en dinero lo que cuenta sino la confianza que el negocio representa.

Finding a good and affordable sandwich or the Mexican torta in E.L.A you can if you know the right place is at the Pacific French Bakery on Whittier Blvd and Eastern. This bakery awesome with the sweet bread and central America cheeses especially their
Bollio bread they sell it at 5 for$ 1 from your choice of crispy or soft. They make a very good torta with two choices of meat turkey or ham and your choices of breads the crispy or soft, but the cost is $ 2.50 with avocado is .50 cent more but it’s cheap if you have low in cash.

bread is the bomb great place

Pacific French Bakery’s location in West LA gets great reviews. The first time I drove by, I thought it was some giveaway cause lots of people were in long lines. Turns out it was just hungry locals waiting to get inside to buy some highly touted pastires.
So when I was working in East LA, I drove by this new place with a Grand Opening sign. The name looked familiar so I stopped. But there were no lines. There was one other customer besides me, and she was a Jewish lady driving a big Benz, obviously not from the hood. An Asian guy was driving the forklift around the parking lot. Inside was clean. I noticed the Jewish lady right near the not too French pastries. The Asian woman — probably the manager and forklift driver’s wife? — smiled and said «hello» to me, a Filipino guy, while the Mexican counter lady smiled with a big «Buenas tardes!» thinking I must be a local guy. Ha ha, too many ethnicities in a weirdly named panaderia. To further complicate things, this «French Bakery» also sells burritos and tamales. I’ll have to try those next time.
After all that, I bought 5 pastries. One lemon drop sugar cookie, one queso cake in foil, one queso mini-​pound cake, bread pudding, and sliced jelly roll. It was cool that the total was only $ 3.75. But my biggest fears were real when I bit into the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth pastry. All of them were dry except the bread pudding. I stop at lots of panaderias and most of them having very fresh stuff. Not here, the flavor was excellent, the service was nice, the prices were awesome. But I took what was left home. For dinner dessert, I steamed them before microwaving again. They were then good at that point.
I’m thinking with their lack of customers, do they keep their stuff the next day if it doesn’t sell? The only problems was the lack of freshness, and that’s enough to drop a good product from a 4 to a 3 star place. Hopefully, it’ll be a better experience next time.
