I went to Yvette's Bakery for the first time since many people recommended their tamales. I got a pork tamale, a chicken tamale, some pan dulce that another customer recommended, and a flan. The tamales were still warm by the time when I returned to my house and delicious! Very juicy, not too salty, good balance of masa and filling. Their pan dulce was very fresh and scrumptious as well. I'll definitely go there again on Sunday to try their menudo and pick up a half dozen tamales.

Yvette's Bakery on Indiana in Riverside is hands down one of my favorite spots for fresh, authentic Mexican baked goods. They offer an incredible variety—from traditional pan dulce to tamales and freshly squeezed juices, everything is delicious and feels homemade.Their chocolate conchas and white conchas are especially amazing—soft, sweet, and baked to perfection. I love that they offer both big and small sizes, and the pricing is so reasonable that I usually grab 10 at a time to enjoy throughout the week. They even have a bakery stand inside where they keep the conchas warm and constantly pump out fresh batches. You can literally smell the freshness as soon as you walk in.Aside from the baked goods, they also serve red and green tamales that are super flavorful and satisfying. Sometimes for breakfast, I’ll get a fresh juice, a tamale, and a concha—perfect way to start the day.There’s a whole wall of different Mexican breads and pastries to explore, making every visit a new experience. If you're looking for delicious Mexican bread north of the border, this is the place. Highly recommend!

HORRIBLE customer service and tamales. I had bought from this place multiple times in the past few years and never any complaints until today. I went in and bought 1 dozen chicken tamales (our usual order) we got home and were ready to dig in as we noticed they were all fully undercooked still. I'm talking masa sticking to ur fingers undercooked. The bag was still warm so we figured we'd let them sit for a bit to see if theyd finish cooking on their own. 1 hr later we checked back and basically no difference.Still fully raw masa in the middle of them so we held out hope and threw them in the air fryer but that didn't help. Now we have 5 tamales with a raw middle and burnt outer layer.We drove back to request an exchange and they told us with some hesitation they can only give us an exchange for the 7 we brought to them in a baggie.My husband and I looked as each other with a half ass grin and accepted it. Then we got home and wouldn't u guess it these were even more raw than the first match :)Once again we drove back this time with the intention of just getting our money back. Keep in mind these tamales are $3.50 each. $3.50 × 12=$42.00. The lady saw us and immediately went to the back and started talking to her co coworkers, prob telling them we returned lol. We tell her everything that just happened and say we'd like a refund and she tells us she can't do that but she can give us pork tamales, no ty for obvious reasons. I push for the full refund and she starts explaining to me like I'm a 4 yr old kid that their tamales are indeed cooked so I tell her she can open one from the bag infront of me to check and see that the masa sticks to ur fingers so she does and with a fully raw tamale right infront of her she sticks to her story that it is a cooked tamale. She then proceeds to prove my point by saying that they cook their tamales in big batches for 1 hr and a half and that u then have to let them sit for hours so they fully cook through and that these had just finished coming out of a fresh batch so they need time to finish cooking.I'm sorry what? Ru telling me exactly wat im telling u? That u just sold me 2 batches of undercooked in other words RAW tamales? After 10 mins of a slightly heated back and forth she gets her coworker who tells me the same thing. Above all in the end they said all they can do is give me a refund for the ones I had in the baggie 7/12. After telling her the other 5 r in the trash at home she tells me she can't only give me a re fund for wat I brought back. Thats $20 down the drain and 2 round trips of gas to the bakery.Hate u Forever Yvette’s bakery

The bread in the wood storage area is not fresh unfortunately. The jello recipes are not good. The tamales are not fresh. I think they are understaffed but they shouldn’t sell items if they don’t taste fresh.

The food is delicious and fresh. It can be crowded during rush hour. They accept card and cash. I like to come here for the tamales and bolillos.
