Amazing!! Truly a taste of Mexico, it felt just like home. I shared it with my friends here (which wasn't easy, because I could've eaten them all!), and they loved it too, so it has British approval as well!

As always, Sweet Nibble Bakery delivers! I order Pan de Muerto from them every year and they are always delicious. They arrive in a lovely pink box and are always well packaged. Thanks again!

Customer photo review of Pan de Muerto (Individual) - Minimum 5 per order

It was so good! I tried the original one first and it was good, but the one with cajeta, it was so amazing, the way you can feel the orange on the bread and the sweetness of the cajeta was heavenly. I really recommend it.

The taste was a bit bland and the texture not as soft and spongy as the real pan de muertos. It lacks of flavour, sweetness, orangy taste and sugar coating.

EDIT: The bakery has been kind enough to reach out and address the delivery issue. I’ve adjusted my rating to 4 to reflect the delay, but I value Sweet Nibble's response and willingness to help. We haven't received the order, it was supposed to be delivered on Friday and we waited for them the whole day at home. DHL notified us they'll deliver on Monday instead... considering these are fresh produce, I'm really disappointed we are going to receive our pan de muerto stale and past the actual celebrations! :( We've gone on a mad scramble trying to find a place where we can buy pan de muertos this weekend. Sweet Nibble, please don't use DHL! We've ordered from you before and delivery with Royal Mail was always reliable.

Store owner replied: Thank you for leaving this feedback. We are sincerely sorry and deeply regret that the delay with DHL has ruined your plans and affected the quality of your pan de muerto. That is absolutely unacceptable to us. We hear you clearly: The freshness of our pan dulce is our highest priority, and we apologise that the delivery service failed to meet the standards you expect from Sweet Nibble. We value you as a customer of many years. We cannot guarantee the freshness of the order arriving Monday, so we are taking action immediately to compensate for this disappointment: We are processing a 50% refund for the cost of your pan de muerto today as it will not be enjoyed at its peak freshness. We are giving you a £10 credit towards your next purchase. This credit guarantees that you can enjoy a new batch of fresh pan dulce when you choose to reorder. You should see the refund reflected in your account within 3-5 business days. Please check your email for a direct message from our team with the credit code. We also understand your concerns about carriers. After extensive review, we use DHL as they provide the best combination of price and reliability for our fresh products. This situation, while deeply frustrating, is an outlier we are addressing with DHL directly and we'll continue to explore Royal Mail and other carrier services as per your feedback. Finally, we strongly recommend placing orders to arrive one full day before your celebration date to ensure you have the buffer needed for any unforeseen carrier delays. We hope you will accept our sincere apology and compensation. We look forward to regaining your trust.
