New Mexican Bakery at 21st and Garnett

[RecycleMichael]

I just stumbled on to this place this morning. It is so hard to find a bakery open on a Sunday morning besides the big chain Panera Bread. This place is right across the street (north) of the Burger King.

I got some cherry turnovers and pastries, some small loaves of fresh bread, some cinnamon croussants and an oversized gingerbread cookie. Most items were incredibly inexpensive. The pastries were each 60 cents (one third the price of the big bakery).

I asked the owner how long he has been open and he said less than two months.

It was all yummy...try them out.

Mmmmm, sounds good.

You had me at "Mexican" [8D]

If it were New Mexican as in New Mexico I might be interested....but saying Mexican and 21st/Garnett is sorta redundant.

Kinda like saying S Tulsa and dumbasses might be redundant to some people.

Lucky for me I'm in the north edge of Bixby and not the SE edge of Tulsa or I might resemble that remark.

I don't think the chief of police will agree with you.

Last time I checked I wasn't asking for affirmation from the Chief of Police.

Your right about bakeries in Tulsa. That also goes to food stores, Tulsa does not have food super-market stores like other cities have. Tulsa's Warehouse-Mart stores and HomeLand Stores are like a stores from the 1960's old and out dated with high prices. Reasoners seem to be the most moddern stores in Tulsa with in store bakeries but the in store hot food has poor selections... In Omaha, NE they have huge moddern HyVee stores that have fresh in-store bakeries of cakes, pies, cookies, donuts and rolls and they also  have hot food for carry out such as  potatoes, rice, hot sliced pork and roast beef to name a few for $3.00 a pound.(Plus a salid bar) and hot chicken. Omaha also has stores like Bakers (Kroger stores)- "Food 4 Less"
- "Bag & Save"- "Save alot" and "Aldi" the last two stores are also in Tulsa. The best in-store bakery I have found in Tulsa is at the Pyrimid store at Harvard & 51st they have real good muffins and cookies, but the cookies in the case seem to be old most of time and have sat there in the case for many days, The donuts & muffins are real good at that store However,  selection is poor they only have a few items to select from... The local QT stores have better donut slections. On the flip side Omaha has no stand alone donut shops anymore most closed up when they started those smoking bans and then supermarkets opened up their bakeries. The stand alone donut shops could not compeat and closed up..

If you, being FROM OUT OF TOWN, are going to whine and complain about a store, at least know the store's name.

Here's the translation table for those interested.


Warehouse-Mart = Warehouse Market, and they're actually not bad on prices.  Their produce is cheaper than Wallyworld.

Reasoners = Reasors, and this store might as well be Albertson's.  They cost too much and I won't go there unless an ice storm forces me to.

HomeLand = no longer a factor in the Tulsa market since only one store remains.

OK- my bad. I am in Tulsa alot but at my ripe old age it's hard to remember all the little details. I guess you can call it a "senior moment"...  Anyhoo, I do find food prices higher in Tulsa than in other cities. I'm not whinning and complaining I just pointed out what stores in Omaha offer and When I'm in Tulsa I miss being able to get items from in-store bakeries or in-store hot foods. Homeland & WareHouse- market does not even have any store bakeries that I can re-call but I could be wrong I believe Their baked goods are made elsewhere and trucked in and put on a rack.

For once in my life, I agree with inteller.  I thought you meant "New Mexican" as in Santa Fe.  Darn.

That place has been there quite a while, no? I remember that place having a ton of traffic when Bicycles of Tulsa was next door. I visited the bakery a time or two while waiting on my bicycle to be fixed and always enjoyed the baked goods. So, while it is very good, I don't think it's new. Maybe a change of management or something, who knows.

I have seen TV ads for this bakery on Tulsa's new broadcast digital Hispanic station.  Comes in as station KXAP digital 51-1 through my converter box.  The ads look like they were made on a budget of $1.98, but the products do look mighty tasty.
