Baking Tradition, One Loaf at a Time
At El Bolillo Bakery, we are proud to continue a long tradition of providing the finest baked goods to our customers. Our story began back in 1998 when we started as a small Mexican bakery in the Greater Heights area of Houston. Over the years, we have grown and expanded to become one of the most popular bakeries in the city. Our commitment to quality and customer service has earned us a reputation for excellence, and we strive to maintain that reputation every day.
Our Bread and Pastry Tradition
Our bread and pastry tradition dates back to the 16th century, when European colonizers brought their baking skills to the Americas. Over time, these baking traditions were influenced by the indigenous peoples of the Americas, Africans brought to the region as slaves, and European immigrants who settled in the Americas. These diverse influences have blended together to create a unique cuisine that is distinctly Mexican and Tex-Mex.
Pan Dulce and Pan Salado
At the heart of our bakery is our pan dulce and pan salado. Our pan dulce is a classic Mexican sweet bread that is baked fresh every day. We offer a wide variety of flavors and textures, from traditional vanilla and chocolate to more unique options like strawberry and lemon. Our pan salado is a savory bread that is perfect for sandwiches, wraps, and toast. We offer a range of flavors, including plain, whole wheat, and sesame seeds.
