Fresh Conchas and Handmade Tacos on 108th Street in Corona

Stephanie's Bakery has grown from a Corona bakery into a casual neighborhood eatery on 108th Street, and the split personality is the appeal. The front still smells like fresh conchas, sweet breads, croissants, and muffins pulled through the morning.

Walk a little further and it becomes a kitchen, turning out tacos on tortillas pressed on the spot and a rotating list of daily hot specials. You can start with a pastry and end with a full plate without leaving. Tortillas made to order in a bakery are what make this more than a pastry run.

At 4.1 stars across 166 reviews, the crowd likes having both the sweet case and a real lunch under one roof. Come in the morning for conchas and a coffee, come back at lunch for the tacos, and check the board for whatever hot special is running that day.
