Overview:
In Gardena, My Panecito is earning buzz for its soft, fresh-from-the-oven conchas with creative twists. Author Maria Cornejo followed a reader’s tip to taste test four of their signature offerings—a mix of classic and inventive flavors. From churro-inspired sugar dusting to strawberry-infused sweetness, here’s her verdict on which ones stand out.
A Taste Test at My Panecito
When one of our readers suggested My Panecito in Gardena, I knew I had to give it a try. Fresh bread that crumbles like a cookie straight out of the oven? Count me in.
I ordered a box of four conchas, each with its own personality: a cinnamon roll, a concha, a churro, and a strawberry crush. Here’s how they stacked up.
The Conchas: Four Flavors, Four Experiences
1. The Churro Concha
This one leans sugary, topped with a blend of brown sugar and white sprinkles. It’s soft, messy in the best way, and a reminder of street churros you can’t help but crave.
2. The Cinnamon Roll Concha
Not overly sweet, this flavor balances light icing with warm cinnamon pieces on top. It even has bits of marzipan, adding a nutty depth.
3. The Strawberry Crush Concha
Bright and pink, this one comes topped with strawberry crumbs and little square pieces for texture. It’s the sweetest of the bunch—like a strawberry candy baked into bread.
4. The Classic Concha
Soft, buttery, and perfectly simple. Sometimes tradition really does win.
Final Bite
If you’re in the LA area and have a sweet tooth, My Panecito is worth the stop. Each concha has its own charm, but together, they make for a box of treats that’s messy, warm, and unforgettable.
