Panaderia Rosetta simply gets 5 stars for their guayaba roll. Yes, be prepared to wait, and yes, it…read morecan be overrun with tourists, but I was prepared for all of this given the location. This is the 3rd time I've been back to Panaderia Rosetta for a guayaba roll (guava roll). I also tried the maíz concha and the pan de muerto this last time--both were delicious. I would easily order the concha de maíz and the guava roll next time around no questions asked. They are both delicious and very different from each other. For foreigners, especially coming from the US, the prices are very fair given the quality and notoriety of the bakery. We're so used to getting ripped off at coffee shops in the states. By Mexican standards, it's expensive and definitely a treat. Tourist trap or not, it's delicious and a must if you're visiting CDMX.

This place is a madhouse. Is it 'iconic'? Yes. Is it worth it? Probably. But there are a ton of…read moreplaces that create very similar items that may be just as good. But back to the iconic part is why we visited. Packed to the gills, line down the street, chaos completely. The line did go quickly though, but if you do not like crowds, yelling all around, no where to sit and eat/drink, and chaos in general this is not for you. We ordered: Guava roll, Cornbread, Rosemary bun, Mille-feuille of red fruits, Cream filled donut, Tomato and basil focaccia, Potato and provolone focaccia, coffees and lattes. My favorite was honestly the Tomato and basil focaccia. The guava roll was good but of the sweets the Cream filled donut was on par. Now I can say I've been there, not sure I'd do it again for just bakery items, granted it was an experience. For a proper meal at a table though, for sure.

Excellent location in Polanco; great treats; and unique drinks! That pretty much sums up Magnolia…read more You walk in to the bakery and you are greeted by a variety of sweets like cupcakes, cookies and their so very delicious plantain bread pudding. There is seating outside near the sidewalk, but opt to sit upstairs in their outdoor, second floor porch. The breezy cool air, lovely sights of Polanco and whimsical colors and decor of the porch area will keep you comfortable and never wanting to leave. They offer different mimosa flavors, such as the traditional orange juice and champ and the not so traditional red velvet mimosa. For me, the red velvet mimosa was not amazing, but a must try for its distinct taste. If you are craving a sweet alcoholic drink definitely try the chocolate martini, which contains three different types of chocolate. Magnolia's most famous dessert is the pudin de platano and it certainly lives up to its name. The combination of not too sweet mousse, slices of bananas and cake all piled into a little cup is literally heaven on earth. It comes in three different sizes and you can order it to go. The trip to this bakery is worth it for many reasons, but principally to try the pudin. Stop by when visiting the area.

The worst customer service of any company out there. The will ship food hap hazardly and don't…read morecare. Will not replace damaged goods. If your lucky enough to buy shipping insurance the will only refund food costs. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THEM. THEY ARE MORE CONCERNED ABOUT OPENING FRANCHISES THAN CUSTOMERS
