    I have heard of this place for years and finally made it in! It is not close to where I live but so worth it! The bread is made there and you can smell the wonderful aroma early in the morning. I went this past Saturday around 9am and it got busy in a couple of minutes!If you are looking for tasty, fresh, homemade Mexican sweet bread, this is the place to go! I have tried bread in various mini stores and nothing comes as close as Panaderia Cardenas. It sure was worth it!The bread is stocked and they have a large variety. I got conchas, mantecadas, empanadas, cuernitos, bolillos, teleras, donas and super affordable. It ranges from $1 to $1.50 and it is really flavorful.They sell tamales, gelatinas and they have a small grocery section. Their big seller is definitely the Mexican bread and I will definitely be back.

    Fresh bread, pastries, and sweet delights. Sweet empanadas are my favorites. Pick a flavor, they are all good. English only speakers, don't be shy, come on in, you are welcome, this bakery is inclusive, friendly, helpful, and all delicious. The selection of authentic, locally packed herb, spices and peppers really got me excited! I love this place! Fresh coffee, and a whole aisle dedicated to beverages too, wow!You can see the bakery sign from Plant Street in the same shopping center as the 7-Eleven on the corner of East Crown Point Road. It is an unassuming little place, but expect to be wowed after you walk in, pay, then enjoy! Amazingly delicious!
