Chela's Bakery

The piggys or ginger bread cookie was hard and grainy. I throw them away, and I bought 4 out of 5 breads for $7 but I will say the coconut swirl bread was amazing and soft so I got to eat one good bread made right.

TL;DR: - Located in Moreno Valley (south of the 60 freeway on Heacock and Alessandro; or east of the 215 freeway). - small Mexican bakery - the best conchas I’ve ever had! - affordable prices - $1 charge for debit or card transactions - friendly staff Believe it or not, this was my first time going to a Mexican bakery. I have tried a variety of pan dulce (sweet bread) and conchas - usually from coworkers who would bring in goodies. Walking inside Chelas Bakery #2 - oh my gosh, it smelled so good! The aroma of freshly baked bread and pastries immediately tantalized my tastebuds! Surprisingly, the setup is similar to a typical Asian bakery where you would get a tray and tongs and help yourself with the selection of baked goods. It can get pretty tight in here since it is a very small shop. You’d have to be okay with being close-in-proximity to other people (or just wear a mask). One of the customers inside the shop told me to try the Arroz con Leche bread, so I helped myself to one to try as well as their Piña bread. I picked out a few more pastries and paid about $7 for everything. Not bad! Unlike the pan dulce I’ve tried from my coworkers, the bread from Chelas is not dry. It’s actually got quite a chew to it. It even stayed chewy after a couple days - still not dry. Score! The only downside are the super crumby cookies on top - just my own personal dislike (I don’t like all the crumbs on my shirt). And the other downside: not enough days to try all the yummy treats LOL. That just means I’ll have to pay another visit to Chelas! Would I recommend Chelas #2? Absolutely! Apparently they have 2 other locations (Chelas original and Chelas #2) in Riverside. Prices are fair, the conchas were delicious, and the lady who helped me provided me with good service!

Chela's bakery is sooo good, if you're a fan of sweet Mexican bread this is the spot. Huge conchas and empanadas, and the prices are really low too. I don't think I've ever spent more than $20, but have taken home 2 or 3 bags of bread. They're super friendly. And I love that they sanitize the trays and tongs after each use.

Always clean always fresh. Nice staff and bread is spectacular... HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Two times that I came here. They are closed before the time that says on here. Fix your times I’ll fix my review
