"I was hesitant for a while whenever I see this store because of the photos represnting the items--the slices look super thin in the photos but they're actually not like that at all. Tonight I gave in and ordered 4 slices of the caramel cake because I didn't know how big or small they could be. When I got them, I was surprised at the size!! They're big enough to satisfy your craving without leaving you wanting more than you should have. They're not as sweet as the cakes I've had before from other bakeries, but they're super good!"

"Stay away from the right side pastries of doom. I have never had a donut taste like stale bread, dry stale need water bread. And this other bavarian cream cup thing. It was bad. The lady was spanish and she was very nice and even gave us these gift pops that were decent and the gesture was nice. Then we tried the sliced cake at the front counter and was shocked at how good it was. If that was all we ate it would be a easy 4 star. So again stay away from the pastries of doom wall to the right and get things from the counter. After meeting a person that nice it sucks that it wasn't better but I have to be honest."

"Awesome little bakery that includes breakfast and lunch items along with your typical Mexican sweet breads. The tamales are exceptional. I tried the chicken (pollo con papas y chili) and the corn tamale (elote). I was surprised to find out my chicken tamale was also stuffed with potatoes and green chilies since they simply tell you it's a pollo tamale. That was such an awesome deal! They were 2/$5 and they were available pretty early in the morning, I think around 10 am. The masa (flour) was beautifully well-done. Soft and moist on the inside while maintaining a firm texture. Salted perfectly. Chicken had awesome flavor. Potatoes were firm and the way they were cooked matched the texture of the chicken and chilies delightfully. I haven't tried the other offerings at Continental but I would gladly go back. The ladies behind the counter were so very kind to the customers, too! I loved it and hope to return soon."
