La Esperanza Bakery - Caldwell

In the opposite to work and on this place for a tasty bite, and young I was surprised! a real Mexican bakery in caldwell idaho that knew it! this place has completely changed/valued my mind to conchas. I choose the rule for tres leches or flan when I go into a Mexican bakery, but they had none when I got in. So I have an oreo and a mazapan concha and let me tell you. they were the best conchas I ever had in my life! they were so fresh, warm and perfectly balanced with sweet. that is now the standard for conchas for the rest of my life. I'm sorry for my pictures of bitten conchas, but I had low expectations before I first bite

Delicious baked pastries and sweet brote, great variety with something new or other every time I go in. tamales are also super tasty and they have dozens of cold drinks to choose from also coffee and customized cakes. highly recommended!

Beautiful little bakery. we visit here very often, it is surprisingly favorable for the good tasting of pastries, and the staff is very friendly and also.

The tamales are amazing. all they ever want in a bakery.

La Esperanza Bakery If you’re looking for great tamales, my favorites are at La Esperanza Bakery in Caldwell. I’ve eaten a lot of tamales over the years and I’ve had some excellent ones. These are by far I have ever had. They are also far superior to the James Beard award winning Tamales I had at Los Hernandez Tamales in Union Gap, Washington.The tamales are kept back in the kitchen, so you have to ask for them. They come out steaming hot. Jalapeño Cheese and Red Chile Pork tamales are available daily, until they run out. On Sundays, they make a small number of Green Chile Chicken tamales. I have never been there in time to try those, but I hear they’re good.The Red Chile Pork tamales have big chunks of well-seasoned pork. Those are my favorites. I also really like the Jalapeño Cheese. When you heat them up, they have oozing cheese in the middle and a nice amount of heat, but not they are not overly spicy. When I visited the store yesterday, I bought 12 tamales, 6 of each flavor. TJ bought the remaining 7 tamales.These tamales are huge! To give you a sense of scale, these tamales are in a dinner bowl that is almost 10 inches wide. One tamale with rice and beans or a salad will make a meal for most. They freeze well. They cost $2.50 each or $15 for six.We were there around 5:30 PM last night. As always, they were doing a swift Although some of the shelves were empty, they were constantly bringing out new trays of freshly baked goods.In addition to having the best tamales, La Esperanza Bakery is the best Mexican bakery in the Treasure Valley, and quite possibly the state.Location:5216 Cleveland Blvd., Suite CHours:Open daily from 7 AM to 10 PMHighly Recommended!!!
