El Bolillo Bakery (2517 Airline Dr/ Houston, TX 77009)
El Bolillo Bakery started out in 1998 as a small Mexican bakery in the Greater Heights area of Houston. Over time the bakery became popular due to its hundreds of everyday fresh and traditional Latin pastries and great customer service.
With roots in France and Spain, pan dulce became a tradition in families across Latin America over the centuries. El Bolillo Bakery quickly became known for offering 150 varieties of traditional pan dulce, pan salado, pastries and desserts all handmade, fresh, daily.
Our stop at El Bolillo costs nothing but trip goers are responsible for paying for anything they choose to purchase at the bakery.
