Reviews for Panaderia Emanuel Bakery & Cafe in Stafford, VA

Ordered 4 pupusas and only received one. Chuleta smelled like seafood/fish. Hard and rubbery. Whole meal was disgusting.

I was starving and decided to go here today for lunch after reading the reviews. There was one guy running back and forth from... the kitchen to the cash register. That should have been my sign to leave but I like to give new businesses a chance. I ordered achicken quasadilla (sp) and a chicken taco to go. I was his only customer that ordered food and it took over 30 minutes for myorder to come out b/c he kept running back and forth from the kitchen to the cash register when customers came in. I was on mylunch break plus I had my 2 year old, who was also hungry. If I would have known it was going to take that long, I would havewent somewhere else. Then when I got home, the chicken was so dry that we couldn't eat it so I ended up throwing everythingaway and making sandwiches . I will never recommend this place or come back. Read more

I got some of the alfajor cookies. They were generously filled with the dulce de leche!! Definitely buying again!! Update: Sad... to say that my latest visit for more Alfajores was dissapointing. The cookies were dry and barely filled with dulce de leche(the other breads were ok though) Read more

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 inthe Stafford area, possibly the Virginia are or entire east coast. We also enjoyed their Emmanuel?s Breakfast. The waffles arefluffy and filling. Potatoes are wonderful! Amazing food!! The only thing that caught me off guard was the haphazard nature oftheir indoor dining options. I wish I had the time/money to help them clean the area up a little so it didn?t look underconstruction. It is clean, to be clear, but just needs a little love. Hole in the wall delight. We?re sad that we are leavingin the summer for Arlington. We?ll make the trip, though. It?s worth it!!! Read more

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 extremelypatient and understood I needed a delivery made the next day. He presented me with options and within a short amount of time wehad solidified a cake flavor as well as a day and time of delivery. Prices were very reasonable, especially when asked to do inless than a 24 hour time frame. I highly recommend ordering from this establishment. There is extreme professionalism, amazingattentiveness and exceptional customer service. Not to mention, according to the birthday boy who received the cake the nextday, the cake was incredibly delicious!! Thanks soooo much Giovanni!!! You were awesome and I will definitely keep your contactinformation and recommend you to others who face a similar circumstance of having to order from an out of statelocation. Muchas Gracias Giovanni. !!!?.Oscar Read more

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 Read more

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. Read more

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 birthdaycake. ***Updated 16 September 2019 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.
