Horno Monterrey Bakery

Cakes are so good and open late every night until 8 pm. Call ahead if you have a favorite Mexican cake they sell out fast

This place is delicious! I get there tres leches whole cakes for birthdays and occasions. I’ve tried their piña colada and coffee tres leeches which was also great! Their individuals are only 1.99 and the whole cake is 15 – 20! Great price and amazing taste. I’ve been a customer for years.

Tres leches had the perfect amount of moisture and level of sweetness. Bf and I ate half a quarter sheet for breakfast! If you’re looking for something a little sweeter I would suggest the cuatro leches cake.

From the outside appearance you would never expect a bakery like this in a little strip center. The pan dulce was really good, not great, but good. The empanadas were light and flaky and come in a multitude of flavors. The cream cheese one was the best! The cuernitos were okay, but I like mine to have a little stronger anise flavor. The bolillos were freshly baked and a bargain at 3 for a dollar. I did try a slice of tres leches. It was good, but not the best I have ever had. It was a little sweeter than I like. It had a nice frosting, but I prefer mine with an Italian merengue. The owner was very nice and friendly. He made me feel very welcome. I will definitely be back to try more.

This is a great bakery I was impress with the variety of the bread that I took one of each :)) I even find mangoneadas very nice lady that helps us and describe the owners pictures on the wall when we ask her about them she was a sweet lady :))I’m a happy camper with this place will back soon.

This bakery is awesome! I used to come to buy my grandmother sweet breads etc at first… However everything is so fresh that I’ve started to come for my home as well.
One word of advice I will give, is to come early. I typically come first thing in the morning because if I wait until the evening everything is gone … Well I’m exaggerating a bit but a solid portion is and I haven’t had a chance to try their cakes and pies but I’m sure I will soon they look really good. Oh and by the way it is a traditional Mexican style bakery and As you can see I think it’s a really great one.

I walked in here expecting to taste the best tres leches of my life, but unfortunately the cake did not measure up to my expectations. The other reviewers made it sound divine! Instead, when my family and I all had a bite of the tres leches, we all found it dry and lacking sweetness. It wasn’t quite desserty enough and trust me, we’ve had plenty of good tres leches before.
The lady behind the counter wasn’t friendly either– in fact, she was quite rude! We tried to make small talk while asking her about the tres leches and waiting for some of my family members to pick out their pan dulce, and she just seem so annoyed to have us there. Sorry that we are interested in purchasing some pastries? :/​
The conchas were tasty. My grandmother’s concha was a bit stale, but mine was soft and fresh. They weren’t too sweet, which I appreciate. My brother’s churro wasn’t so good though. It was too hard for him to chew, so sadly, we had to dispose of it when we left the bakery.
Overall, this place seems overrated. I might come back for conchas and to try some other pan dulces. They had some guava and mango empanadas that looked delicious! Hopefully someone nicer is working behind the counter that day…

This place is my little hole in the wall. While I was abroad, I dreamed of their conchas, cuatro leches cake, pan de anís, and all their other delicious goods. I’m from Mexico, and I can say this bakery has better pastries than some of the best bakeries in Monterrey. Please go here, it’s the best. It really is. Try the anis bread. And splurge on some empanadas.

I’ve been a customer since 2005, at the time it was great traditional Mexican style bread (Pan Dulce) made in house by the owner he is I’m Spain great guy, they have the Best Tres Leches Cake in town, Never dry, not too sweet and at a good price.
Unfortunately In the past couple of years, the «pan dulce» started shrinking and the price started expanding slightly, I guess the economy is making him cut back, it is still good «Pan Dulce» and it’s still the best Tres Leches in town (no cutbacks on that)
I hope he bring back his original recepies sizes soon, I found another excellent bakery «El Bolillo» but only visit when I have to drive downtown since its about 20 miles from home.

I continue to love this bakery. For so many different reasons.
This is my go-​to place when I don’t feel like pulling out my rolling pin. Their tres leche cake is superb. If I have guests coming and I’m feeling like someone else could do a better job with dessert than me, then I’m on autopilot to this location. Done.
But recently I’ve been making quite a few more trips than normal. You see, my husband is a coconut freak. He loves and desires all things coconut (with no chocolate, since he’s allergic to it). His particular weakness is coconut macaroons. When we lived in the NY area, we found a place in Chinatown that called them «coconut stacks» — and they were heavenly. He’d gobble them up one after another. Since then, I’ve been trying (and failing) to make a macaroon that was similar. At this time of year (Passover), you can find canned macaroons that are sort of (and let me repeat that SORT OF) like the coconut stacks we’d get in NY.
But, AHAH! I found them! Recently Horno Monterrey Bakery has started making their own «coconut cookies» — and they are just like the coconut stacks we’d get in NY. They don’t always have them (yeah, I buy them out all the time!), but when they do, they are, well, absolutely divine [piece of advice: get there before me, because I’ll clean them out for sure].
There is nothing here that isn’t a TBO (taste bud orgasm) in my book. Nirvana!

I’m the reason there out of chamucos half of the time! Great tres leches, and their Salvadoran quesadilla is very comparable to what I eat when I’m in Central America.

This place is great. I love «mom and pop» kind of places. This place has great sweet bread. I am used to Arandas bakery so the selection is much much bigger compared to here. But if Im looking for sweet bread without driving 30min to get it this is my go to place. Having a smaller selection that Im used to is the only drawback.

Tres leches was not as great as other people here are saying. It was too sweet for my taste and dry.

THIS PLACE HAS SET THE BAR FOR ALL TRES LECHES CAKES IN MY LIFE.
I cannot express this statement enough. I’ve tried countless Tres Leches over the years in Houston, LA, and NY but this is the one I compare all the rest to.
It’s sily, soft, not too sweet, and doused in 3 types of cream– how can you go wrong? Tres Leches cakes are one of those baked goods that tastes better the 2^nd, 3^rd, + 4^th day of existence. The milk will have a chance to penetrate all the layers of the cake.
I tried the Strawberry Tres Leches cake for kicks once and it wasn’t nearly as punchy and flavorful as the Tres Leches cake. Strawberry Tres Leches is 6/​10, whereas the original Tres Leches is ¹³⁄₁₀! ;)
I love you Horno Monterrey Bakery!

I’ve been going here every time we’ve needed to do laundry since our dryer broke. Every time I come here, I’m always warmly greeted by the employees and it smells WONDERFUL. And the pastries are really reasonably priced! The churros and caramel empanadas are amazing, and aren’t in the least bit expensive. You have to try this place at least once. I guarantee that you won’t be disappointed. :)

Tres Leches cake here is hands down the best I have ever had!!! They make it from scratch everyday and it has real whipped cream that is lightly sweet and oh so fluffy! I promise you will not find one that tastes better anywhere else, because I’ve had them and they were sorely in adequate. Their other bakery goods are delectable also!

I went there for the first time today and was amazed by the selection and the prices! Their cookies are also quite delicious. Definitely recommend!

tres leches cake here is delicious!!!
get it!

I have been coming to this bakery to get lots of tasty treats for around 6 years now. I LOVE the custard filled churros, tamales, pineapple upside down cake, bread pudding, fruit (guava, mango, pineapple, etc) or caramel filled empanadas, pastries, croissants, breads, and cakes (German Choco, Tres Leches, etc).
GLUTENFREE FREE DINERS: I talked to Carlos the owner, and we have 4 items here that are gluten free that I have been fine with. They have elote tamales, as well as 3 sweet treats. The rice cookies are great, taste like a shortbread cookie with a good crunch. There are also some fruit filled margarita cookies. My ALL TIME FAVORITES are the quesadillas, which are actually like a muffin hybrid of yellow cake, but are made with rice flour and cream cheese, I love love love these when I need to quench my cupcake or muffin cravings.
