Panaderia Mi Lupita

Best tres leches cake I’ve had I think ever. Custard cream horn things with chocolate or powdered sugar are also good. I tried the flan/​tres leches combo and ended up liking the tres leches part more.

Everyone needs to know how delicious the Pupusas are, the best! I have always tried tge Mexican bread, but now the menu has expanded and my favorite Pupusas and Mango Diablitos.
Their customer service 5 starts! I usually place my phone order and it’s ready in a fast timing.
Thank you Lupita’s, I love your antojitos!!!

Pretty good bread. I got a cuerno and it was the best I’ve tried outside of El Gallo bakery.
I got a chocolate chip cookie and it tasted just like baking soda. The cream empanada was nothing special. It actually had a funny aftertaste to it. It had the potential to be good but it just wasn’t. There’s just too many other bakeries for me to come back to try anything else.
The lady behind the counter was friendly and the prices were reasonable, but I need decent baked goods. Won’t be coming back!

2 stars because the bread is good. Unfortunately, I went there this AM for some bread like I always did every week for months and bought 4 pieces of bread. For some reason they charged me $ 6…yes for 4 pieces of bread, $ 6. I’ve previously bought a lot more and never paid more then $ 5 for bread there. When I asked about the price the lady responded «too much?» Really? I didn’t know I was going to have to negotiate bread prices. I will be going across the street to 85 degrees bakery from now on, more selection and you will get the same amount of bread for your money… and prices are clearly marked.

Mi Lupita is a local family owned Mexican bakery in Torrance, everything is baked on premises. I picked up a Tres Leches cake on my way to a Birthday Party, it was out of this world. Super moist and gushing with flavor. If you need a cake for a party and you want to try something a little different, you won’t regret getting a cake or pastries from Mi Lupita.

My fiancé and his family loves Porto’s tres leches cakes. We wanted to try out some local places, because the closest location to Torrance is Downey. We gave this place a try. They’re known for their two-​tiered flan cakes. That is, they have a layer of tres leches or chocolate cake on the bottom, and the top tier is their flan. I actually liked the flan (that’s why they have 3 stars) because it wasn’t too sweet and cloying! However, the cake itself was way too sweet and kind of grainy. It made me miss Porto’s. It was definitely worth a try, and the flan is in fact very good. But it just did not hit the spot.

Delicious Tres Leches cake! I’ve been looking for a great Tres Leches cake in the LA Westside or SouthBay area & have finally found it.
All the cakes available when I arrived a Saturday afternoon were Tres Leches with different fruit toppings/​decoration, but the friendly woman there noted they make all kinds of cakes when ordered in advance.
I brought the cake to a large family gathering with multiple other dessert options & all of the many who tried the cake said it was delicious. She allowed me to sample the cake beforehand so I knew it was well-​made & a good idea to buy a large one for all to enjoy. I will be back.

I came here at 430am when they opened and the lady behind the counter told me they do not have any breads ready.
My response was, «Why do you open at 430am but don’t have anything ready? You should advertise that you open at 500am then.»
And she just stared at me…
First impressions are important and I dont care how good your food is, you lost me at first impression. Maybe during «working hours» the food is good, but at 430am when they open you get nothing but blank stares.

I stop by Panaderia Mi Lupita whenever I can to get pastries and cakes for work. If you haven’t tried the Tres Leches cake, it is phenomenal! Their flan is incredible too. They also have a selection of health drinks they make with fresh fruit and vegetables that are healthy and quite tasty. P. S. Prices are great as well.

Had lunch at the Ramen shop in the same plaza and decided that some Pan would be good for the drive back to work, got a couple of the Pig Shaped cookies and some of the sugar cones, very good and fresh. I especially liked the pigs because they were very moist and tasty. Sugar cones were good as well. Add another emergency Panaderia to the list of tasty treat pick up spots

Came here for the first time on a Sunday night and I love and appreciate that they do stay open a little later than most panaderias. I got some of the sweet Mexican breads and a few canned drinks and it only cost about $ 7!
The lady at the front was really kind and explained everything that I had questions for (what bread was what and what was in it). We came here wanting the juices but she explained that they stop making them at 8pm so just a side note for you all.
I would for sure come back here!

Had a cake ordered here for my son’s 2^nd bday and was delicious and well made! Loved it

Bread is always fresh! They have a big variety to choose from! Ive been coming here for the past 15yrs

This place is perfect. well almost as in 4 stars just because they ran out of my favorite cookies lol. but other than that their pan dulce is fresh. It’s a bit small but who cares as long as their bakery items are beyond my expectations that’s all that matters. My favorite items are their Concha and the half size pineapple pie. So freakin delicious! Oh and the service was excellent also. I was greeted with a warm smile from the young lady who was professional during my entire visit. I love this place and I will definitely return soon.

Been here twice two nights in a row. Had dinner at the Cuban restaurant in the same plaza and took a walk down the way to this bakery and discovered tres leches cake with flan on top. $ 2.25 per slice. Delicious and not too sweet. Also tried the chocolate cake with flan on top tonight. Pretty good too!
They also offer different juices and smoothies, and sweet breads which I haven’t tried. So can’t really rave about those items.

I’ve been eyeing this bakery each time I visit the nearby Coin Laundry but for some reason I had not tried it till about a couple of weeks ago.
I’ve always been able to find parking in this plaza despite the presence of popular destinations like Waba Grill, Coin Laundry Dominos and Ramen Hayatemaru. The place is pretty small just two small counters one with Cakes and the other with pastries and baked goods. When I went the gentlemen behind the counter was very sweet and provided me samples of different cakes and pastries. His English was not good so the conversation with me speaking in English and he replying back in Spanish was comical, but I did not mind as he was genuinely nice. I got the tres leches cake slice ($ 2.50) and another cake slice that was half flan and half cake ($ 2.50). I’ve only had supermarket tres leches cake before so I’m no expert on it but just loved this one. It was soft and moist but I found it to be more sweeter than normal cakes. In the other cake I found the flan to be a little stiff so I preferred the tres leches cake over it.
I liked the tres leches cake so much that each time I returned I’ve not been able to buy anything else. In the future I hope to diversify and try some more cakes and pastries on offer here.

My first time purchasing a veggie juice (fresh) by choice. I took THE longest time ever staring at the menu and trying to decide which vegetables I wanted to toss in my drink, but every vegetable sounds gross as a drink (no offense).
THANKFULLY, one of the workers finally asked me if I wanted her to just whip me up a tasty drink (her choosing), so I said yes! and it was actually very sweet and delicious and entire of vegetables. WHAT THE.
I’ve tried those V8 drinks before. Disgusting. But this was completely different and oh, so fresh!
I have yet to try the pastries, and pastries are what I really love. But I decided to take the narrow path and go for the healthy alternative. Then I biked home. WIN!
Until I get a chance to try the pastries here, this review will stay at 3. Not bad, not superb. It’s aite!
NOTE TO SELF: Try the Tres Leches Cake. People seem to love it. (and i freaking love Tres Leches. So I’ll be back!)

Hands down Mi Lupita has the best Tres Leches I have tasted!
I’ve been coming to this bakery since it’s opening.
Coming from the harbor gateway, I have tasted many different pan dulces and cakes, but this bakery’s is the best.
As said in the reviews before, Mi Lupita’s bakery puts a twist in the modern authentic mexican panaderias. You can find just about anything from pan dulce, bolillos, raspados, jugos, cakes, chocolate covered strawberries, sandwiches, and much much more.
The diversity it provides and sampling offers to customers makes this bakery unique yet still homey. You can tell that Eva the manager cares for her customers opinions and concerns.
I’ve never had any problems with taste, prices, or hospitality. On the contrary the prices are fair if you keep in mind which ones you are trying to buy. The greater the baking process, the higher the prices; which is understandable!
–Side Note: to Jenn who said the pastries were stale, I find it funny that this brought down your expectation. Before buying a bread that’s on «SALE», first find out why and you should feel the texture first before buying it. :) The breads are in clear bags in which, even if you slightly, feel on the bread you get a good feel on how soft it will be. –Just saying.

Walking into Panaderia Mi Lupita I had high hopes. The place looked new and clean. There had several different pan dulce on display. There were also different cakes as well as some donuts.
I asked for the price of the pan dulce and was a bit surprised that they were a $ 1 each. It was pricier than other bakeries which sell similar types. I’ve found the same kind for 3 for $ 1 elsewhere. Here just one of these pastries was a $ 1.
I saw several pastries sitting on top of their shelf that were on sale and decided to try these out. It seemed like a good deal and it was my chance to try out some of their pan dulce.
I got home to try out on of the pieces I bought and was surprised at how hard it was. After further tasting it, I realized that it was stale! I was so disappointed. For the other pastries that I bought, I tried heating it up with the hope that it would either soften or make it better tasting but it did nothing. I think the bread I bought was several days old. I realize it is on sale but really, I don’t think bakeries should be selling stale bread and if it is several days old, they should not be selling it at all. Bakeries should be selling fresh baked goods!
I was disappointed with the pricey baked goods but even further disappointed that I bought hard and stale bread that was several days old.

Tres Leches, love me some Tres Leches cake!
I happened upon this Mexican bakery, panaderia, a few months ago as I was looking for some Tres Leches cake because the other local panaderia where I used to purchase this delight started cutting the cakes smaller, charging more and they were putting it in a container too small for the cake so that when you opened the container, the frosting would stick to the top of the plastic cover when you opened it and thus, remove most of the frosting from the cake. No bueno! (I know that’s now proper grammar but gringos get it, lol)
So I found this place on Unilocal and decided to try my luck there, even though there’s no such thing as luck.
It’s a small little bakery and I told the young lady what I was looking for and she pointed out the Tres Leches that they make. It looked good. Then, an older man who might have been the husband to the owner/​baker suggested to the young lady in Spanish that she should offer me a sampling to try first. I liked that idea and so she gave me a little slice from a cake she pulled from the display case and I thought it tasted really good – the cake was moist and it just was an explosion of happiness in your mouth! I told her I would buy some.
I went on to buy some other goodies they had on display like sweet breads and custard-​filled pastries and was pleased that everything was not very expensive at all for the amount of goodies I purchased.
I also liked that the service was friendly which I really appreciated!
If you’re looking for some Mexican baked goodies, this is a good place to purchase them. I will definitely be back.
