Panaderia Emanuel Bakery & Cafe

Love this place. Hands down the best panaderia I've ever been too and that's coming from someone who's lived in San Diego for 30 years. Amazing baked goods, good prices, friendly staff. 10/10

Giovanni was exceptional!!!!.

I am from California and I needed a birthday cake for my best friend within 24 hours. I called Panaderia Emanuel Bakery after trying 5 other bakeries and Giovanni was the only one to give me a call back. He was extremely patient and understood I needed a delivery made the next day. He presented me with options and within a short amount of time we had solidified a cake flavor as well as a day and time of delivery. Prices were very reasonable, especially when asked to do in less than a 24 hour time frame.

I highly recommend ordering from this establishment. There is extreme professionalism, amazing attentiveness and exceptional customer service. Not to mention, according to the birthday boy who received the cake the next day, the cake was incredibly delicious!!

Thanks soooo much Giovanni!!! You were awesome and I will definitely keep your contact information and recommend you to others who face a similar circumstance of having to order from an out of state location.

Muchas Gracias Giovanni. !!!….Oscar

Having lived in California for 10 years and falling in love with amazing breakfast burritos, I wept when I couldn’t find a place in Virginia that had breakfast like that. Mason Dixon Cafe tries, but this is where you will find the best breakfast burritos in the Stafford area, possibly the Virginia are or entire east coast. We also enjoyed their Emmanuel’s Breakfast. The waffles are fluffy and filling. Potatoes are wonderful! Amazing food!!

The only thing that caught me off guard was the haphazard nature of their indoor dining options. I wish I had the time/money to help them clean the area up a little so it didn’t look under construction. It is clean, to be clear, but just needs a little love.

Hole in the wall delight. We’re sad that we are leaving in the summer for Arlington. We’ll make the trip, though. It’s worth it!!!

Stopped at El Panderia Emmanuel today! There was a line outside the door! Here are some of the goodies I purchased. They taste amazing! Definitely my local panderia now

I was late at finding a bakery for my daughters birthday and everyone wanted at least 3 weeks advance.. I gave them an example of what I wanted and they were able to recreate it very fast and for less than half the cost of even a simple fondant cake... just be sure to be very specific and you won’t be disappointed. I will definitely be coming back here for my sons birthday cake.

You guys came through again with this awesome wine bottle fondant cake for my girlfriend. Thanks again for the fast turn around on such short notice.

They made me a cake shaped like an avocado and it was extremely good. It looked exactly like I wanted and it tasted just as good as it looked. By far, one of the best tasting specialty cakes I've ever had.

Found this place in a harry search for a bday cake. First, I was happy to place a short term order, but then I was absolutely amazed by the cake! It was really pretty with all those fresh fruits and the print. So far it is the best cake I’ve eaten in the US (been here 5y). Very similar to European style.
All our guests loved the cake!

They have lots of different kinds of breads and sweets here. Every kind I have tried has been delicious. The little old lady who works there is very sweet, too. Support a local business and give this place a try, please! Almost every time I go in here, it is empty. I wish more folks would take a chance. I promise you won't be disappointed.

Small business with great food and bakery needs. Very nice people and they have a variety of food ranging from Mexican to Salvadorian to Guatemalan food. Me being Mexican some of the plates are not how we serve or make them but trust me they are delicious and worth expanding your palate.great place to dine in or take out if you want some delicious food and support a small business!

Delicious Tres Leches cake and good breakfast options. The coffee mocha is very tasty too.

Emanuel Bakery catered our wedding reception & provided servers. Everyone complemented the food & service. We ordered tamales, tacos, quesadillas, rice, & beans. Everything was delicious & great price. I will definitely use them again & recommend them to all my friends.

I came to the bakery on Friday afternoon needing a birthday cake for Sunday. No problem what time do you need it we open at 8 am. I ordered a 9" chocolate that had fresh strawberries infused with a white icing. I also wanted black spots for the Dalmatian dog lover my wife is. The cake was ready at 9 am as requested and it looked fantastic. The taste was even better. The chocolate was very moist, and the strawberries added a very nice sweetness. The icing was very tasty and not overly sweet. Thank you Panaderia, my wife loved it.

Best bakery in Stafford! I have purchased three tres leches cakes in the past years from this bakery. Every cake has been a huge hit! Everyone wants to know where I get my cakes from. I would truly recommend this bakery. They are very responsive, work with costume orders and even check in after the event to make sure everything went well with their baked goods.

We ordered mini-dishes of the most popular Guatemalan appetizers for an event and they were AMAZING... Everything was authentic/freshly made & tasted delicious.

I’ll definitely order again for my next event!!!

Gotten cakes from them twice now & it’s always so good! Looks great and tastes great!

The cake we order was ready at the time we were told it would be and let me tell you guys the cake was so delicious. All of our quest kept asking where we ordered are cake. Love it. There was not a single piece of cake left. The cake was not sweet like usual cakes are. This review is about the cake we purchased. We have had come here to eat the food is delicious but the service is super super slow. One of the cashiers just never gets the order right. But my 5 stars goes for the 3 leches cakes. Thank you panaderia emanuel

Great bakery! Worked quickly with a custom cake order and had it ready on time even with the power issues the area just faced. The cake was delicious and looked exactly how we wanted it to (giant donut). Highly recommend if you're looking for a local bakery at a very fair price!

Hands down, the very best wedding cake I have ever had. Not one slice was leftover and every person said the same thing, best cake ever. Each layer was a different flavor, just amazing!

My daughter requested a Tres Leche cake for her birthday. I did a Google search and found this bakery near my home. I was able to order it over the phone. It was easy to find and pick up the cake. It was delicious.There are many other items to purchase at this bakery, including meal items. There is a small eating area if one purchases food to eat on the premises. The staff is very friendly.

Great job on Gluten Free sugar cookies for my daughter's engagement party. Was able to pull it off very last minute and saved the day when my friend was not able to make them for me. Definitely recommend and they have a new customer!
