Anakaren Bakery

It's a gem, a treasure hole in the wall place where things come from hard work & lots of love for what they do. It's not going to be some Michelin star bakery that you walk into. It's in an old part of Arlington, the building itself fits right in with the area. That's not a bad thing, but don't expect some clean cut, smooth concreted parking lot with fancy equipment inside. They do well for being in an older part of town. Conchas, we enjoyed them! My favorite was whatever this strawberry roll cake was, soft & fluffy. They have a lot of options, I only wish they would label the pastries. There were some empanadas but we couldn't tell what was what & didn't want to be one of those people that cracked one open, because trust me, someone did on one of the trays. They have a refrigerated section, we'll probably try the flan next time too. The cakes are gorgeous, I can't comment on the taste... no need to get one for just the two of us. Prices are very good, yes, they take cash only. I saw someone said they take Zelle but I didn't look. I'm not mad about it though, it's a small business... they'd get charge for credit card usage. I don't know if everyone understands that & if cash only works for them & they continue to do well... I'll keep bringing cash! Very sweet employees! Go here, grab a snack to enjoy. Also, there's not really a place where you can sit & chat for hours with friends but give them a try for some yummy treats!

Great little place Go early as it gets very busy about lunch time. Food is of food quality and taste. Locally owned. If you enjoy true Mexican food you should enjoy this place. Very reasonably priced and also has a bakery Cannot go wrong here Enjoy !!!

Tried this place today. Food is good but the service sucked! We went in and clearly stated we were eating there and not to go. About 20 minutes pass by and me and my girlfriend are wondering what’s taking so long to bring our food out, especially since they were not busy. My girlfriend went up to the counter and they had our order there just chilling. When we clearly said we were gonna eat there. I enjoyed my cold burrito, but i wouldn’t come back here

I had 3 chicarrón tacos rice and a drink All mentioned $17.87 little price I think. The food was ok, rice dry but I was hungry The bakery area looks like an abandoned room dusty with old cakes displays and some sweet bread that looks like if just waiting to be tossed out.

I've tried their bakery and restaurant and they are both delicious. The staff is always friendly and answered question we had.
