Los Claveles Bakery
800 W Newport Pike, Wilmington, DE
Crema's Take
“This beloved neighborhood bakery specializes in authentic Mexican pan dulce and breads, with loyal customers raving about consistently fresh conchas, pan de muerto, and crusty bolillos that never disappoint. While their decorated cakes occasionally miss the mark on flavor and texture, the real draw is the parade of golden pastries in the cases and the genuine, family-run warmth of the operation. It's the kind of place where you pop in for a quick morning grab of something warm and genuinely delicious, even if the language barrier occasionally adds to the charm.”

A small local Mexican bakery with a good variety of freshly baked breads, cakes and gelatinas. I’ve only ever purchased the bread and it’s always been very good and never stale.
Terrible, i had a cake ordered here for my birthday and when i finally got to taste it, it had absolutely no flavor or a trace of sugar everything (bread,cream,whip) had little to no flavor. I am assuming they use coolwhip and its not handmade, As the birthday girl this made me devastated the cake also stained.
Great selection of Mexican pastries!, everything looks delicious, I bought two packs of conchas, they were delicious, didn’t last too long!, some sweets seem to be a bit high priced.
The cake was beautiful, but it was wet on the inside. I'm not sure what was going on. The lady that was working didn't speak English, so I have to take some responsibility for not knowing what I was buying.
Stopped in yesterday for pan de muerto, I have zero negative comments about it. The bread was perfectly delicious. I decided to get some for work, I asked if they could put em in the clear cake tray, and she made it clear it would be an extra $3. I said ok, it makes sense.. I also asked if they would put a sticker with the bakerys' name on it, I work with white people and wanted to make sure they knew where it came from. I paid for my order and walked away. I got home, checked my receipt, and realized I was charged $1 for that sticker. I would have never imagined one day I would pay to promote someone else's business. It is what it is, I guess. I'll take it as leaving tip🤷♀️
