I come here once in a while, and every time I have, the ladies behind the counter are always so friendly and kind. What's more is that despite that there's no prices written, it seems to not be a worry, because I will order multiple pastries and it will be much cheaper than I expected, like 2 big conchas was $3 last time I went. I have ordered multiple cookies and a pastry or two and still was under $5 too. They only accept cash so that is something to be aware of.

All kinds of traditional Latin American baked goods tucked away on 24th St not far from the SW BART entrance. My favorite is the raisin bread pudding. It's really closer to a cake than a pudding but more moist than a cake. It's often kept nearly out of sight at the far right end of the pastry display case, so it's best to ask if they have it that day. Just $2, cash only, for a very large slice, enough for 2 people.

La Mejor is a staple in the mission that I have visited since childhood and now frequent with my children. They are the go to spot for Roscas and Pan de Muertos on holidays(order in advanced for guaranteed sweets) and pan dulce on any ocasión. This bakery has the true spirit of La Misión. I'm so glad they are around! (They only accept cash so go prepared )

It’s a San Francisco staple — it’s been in the Mission neighborhood for longer than most people in SF. And it has a wide selection of pastries for reasonable prices. Plus, they have so many locals who visit the place everyday. And they help local artists. Check out the photos below. I hope it stays in business for another 20+ years.

Los tameles saben muy ricos me encantan!!!! Y la atención siempre es muy buena. Y abren bien temprano de lunes a viernes y eso me encanta ya que siempre me levanto temprano para ir a trabajar, este lugar se vuelve muy cómodo a la hora de tomar un desayuno, siempre voy con mis hijos y les encantan los tamales!!!!

Excelente atención al cliente. haces tu orden de pan de dulce, Tamales Salvadoreños y Mexicanos Te atienden con amabilidad y rapidez. Y te agregan una pieza gratis de pan con tu orden. Debes de llevar dinero en efectivo por que no aceptan "débito ni crédito" es la única cosa que deben de mejorar. Lo recomiendo

I came here for the pan dulce, and was not disappointed. It's very tasty, and I plan to return when I'm in the area to get some more treats. I believe they only accept cash. Very friendly staff, quick service even on busy days. It was crowded near closing hours, which really is no surprise.

This is a great little bakery. It's conveniently off of the BART 24st exit and is also super close to El Farolito which is a banger. The only downside to this location is that they only accept cash. So be ready, if not you can stop at the liquor store 2 doors down and they have an ATM.

$60 dólares una rosca de reyes , hize el esfuerzo de ir por una en SF. Por que según son las mejores y cuando partimos la rosca toda dura ni era fresca y llamo y llamo ala panadería para ver que paso y no me contestan..mi primera y ultima vez que compró allí.. ni la manejada que di

Cash only. The most genuinely welcoming and warm hearted women work here. Always treated warmly. Street parking is limited but this is SF. The selection is a wide assortment of classic and traditional pan dulce. Coffee and milk available. The lady always add a few extra cookies.

Deliciosa Rosca de Reyes de la panadería "La Mejor" en el barrio Mission en la calle 24th St. y Mission St. Excelente tamaño para una familia de tres. Su sabor está exquisito con canelita... mmm deliciosa. Acompañado de tu cafecito gourmet de Nespresso. ☕ Priceless. …

Disappointing concha. Went on a Sunday morning. Was dry, stale, not particularly sweet or flavorful and left a bitter aftertaste. The service was nice and the chicken tamales were quite good.

Me encanta pasar el tiempo en este lugar y tomar mi cafecito caliente con mi pedacito de panes dulces y mi tamal salvadoreano lo hacen bien rico aunque yo sea naciente de México Yucatán me encanta como lo hacen los salvadorranos los tamalitos les sale delicioso

One of the few authentic Mexican "panaderia" in SF, baking in the style of Mexico City's pastries. An iconic meeting point for first generation latinos from all over. The perfect coffe place to practice your Spanish and experience the latin culture …

As the name says, this really is the best little bakery. One of the women working behind the counter reminded me of my late grandmother. She was very kind. I was asking what the pig-shaped bread was called and my friend was translating for

This place is amazing. The owner is wonderful, started the bakery 30 years ago and had great stories to tell. Says it's open from 5am to 10 pm and whenever I make it to SF I plan to eat myself through the menu ,!!?!??!!! More

Tenga mucho cuidado porque hay una vieja inédita muchas cosas a la gente y le puede pegar así que ustedes no vayan a esa panadería porque no puedo ahí porque insulta mucho a las quinientas les gusta mucho y casi nos pegan

1 dollar for small cookies and 4 for a chicken tamale. I had a tamale with green sauce and it was a big tamale, but lacked on the ratio/amount of chicken inside. Friendly owner and took my trash after eating.

I love la mejor so much. Lived by it for a few years. They’re always super welcoming, stocked with tons of fun and variety Mexican pastries, and open very accommodating hours. One of my favorite SF bakeries!!

Really good, fesh pastries. I asked them for a mix of a dozen pastries for work, all were great. I think they gave me a few extra cookies in the box as well. I was so excited that I forgot to take a picture.

El mejor pan del área de la bahía la atención es cordial y amable! Definitivamente siempre me hace el día! Viajó una hora por tan sólo comprar el pan DE LA MEJOR PANADERÍA …

Wonderful, personal service and the cookies and breads are AMAZING. I love the pumpkin bread - spicy and mildly sweet! It's hard for me to walk by without getting something "for later".

I started coming in here because it would smell so good on my way to Bart in the mornings. Now it's one of my favorites bakeries! Friendly staff and top notch pastries.

Me gusta por l qu las personas son súper atentas esta súper limpio y la es muy buena persona ejemplar en el barrio latino de misión de san Francisco California

He probado diferentes panes en diferentes panaderías del área y hasta ahorita está es la única que más me ha gustado. Gran variedad y un rico sabor! …

Great lil spot for pan dulce gotta try all of them ! Awesome Salvadorian chicken tamales. I've had a crush on the morning register girl for years ❤️

Very nice and charming latin coffee shop, delicious mexican and latin pastries and the brew coffee its excellent whit tamales or mexican bakeries.

The most genuinely welcoming and warm hearted women work here. I always come in for tamales and a cookie when I’m starved. Always treated warmly.

cute little bakery ! they were super cheap prices and gave us lots of extras galletitas when we only order 3 things ! si es la mejor

Super yummy, well priced and the lovely lady added a muffin in for me. I’m a fan. Will be coming back and telling friends!

Pan dulce was good. Tamales, no good--the masa tastes salty and some other weird aftertaste. This is on the mole flavor.

Delicious Mexican baked goods. Coffee's mediocre, no half and half, also no prices shown on baked good. BUT SO GOOOOOOD.

La atencion es buena se siente uno como en familia, por dentro esta bien limpio, el pan que he probado que gusto mucho

Simple and the best for people who know the traditional bakery of not only Mexico butt central and South America

We loved everything we got here! The custard pastry was my fave but the strawberry jam roll was a close second.

Esta cafetería tiene un pan al estilo mexicano y unos tamales al estilo México te los recomiendo deliciosos

Pan muy rico, caliente todo el tiempo del día, ricos tamales Mexicanos y Salvadoreños, excelente atención.

Very solid bakery. All of their pieces are borderline great, with a few being absolutely extraordinary.
