I recently visited La Central Panaderia and overall, I had a positive experience with their baked treats. The pastries and baked goods were quite delicious and satisfying. However, I did notice that the lady running the place didn't seem very interested in interacting with us. It was close to closing time, so perhaps she was busy or tired. Despite this, it didn't significantly impact my enjoyment of the treats. I would recommend checking out La Central Panaderia for their tasty baked goods, but keep in mind that the customer service might be a bit lacking towards the end of the day.

La Central put together gift baskets for the Center for the Homeless. Not only were they delicious but they were so beautiful. The staff was amazing to work with. Cannot say enough amazing things!

Never had a bad experience. They go above and beyond to make sure we have the best pan and service. Worth our drive every time!

We’ve been stopping in for years, and have never been disappointed. Their bread is always fresh and their prices are reasonable. I would highly recommend!

It's a family owned real Mexican bakery. Worth the trip. Funky exterior. Not a lot of English spoken inside. Western Avenue has transitioned from the heart of South Bend's Polish Community to the core of SB's Mexican Community.

Well went from Elkhart to S.Bend to buy Mexican sweet thinking it would be a little cheaper to buy at the main bakery instead of at a Mexican grocery store. But it cost the same as it did in Elkhart so it wasn't worth the drive. Won't go back.

This is a lovely and DELICIOUS Mexican bakery. My dad and I went in to buy a bunch of different pastries for my mom's birthday. They have a wide selection of treats. The gentleman that helped us was very kind and gave us both a concha to try. It was still warm from the oven and amazing. There are several panaderia's to try on this stretch of Western Ave. I hope to try them all but I will always come back to La Central. Muchas Gracias!

Absolutely one of the best bakeries we have been to. The owner is such a wonderful and friendly man who has a gift for baking. If you’re in the area, you have to stop. Not only the best danishes but wow, those rolls!! Can’t wait to go back!

Wow, I just discovered The #1 Mexican Bakery of Michiana! Don't let the unassuming store front fool you, this family owned bakery has been putting out a wide selection of fresh breads and sweets for 26 years. I frequent bakeries like this and I'm rating this one #1 in the area. Come early and you may be able to snag items still on the cooling trays in the back room while they are busy preparing the next items for the oven.
