Um... YUM. This spot was originally on my CDMX itinerary as a post-dinner dessert, but since we…read morewere nearby and looking for a snack, we decided to stop in earlier (and honestly, I wish I had gone back again ). There was a small line, and after ordering it did take a bit to get our food, but that was totally fine. Perfection takes time! The ambiance is very casual and geared toward a quick stop. There's plenty of seating for an easy in-and-out, but it's not really a place meant to linger. It's more of an open-concept setup-covered, but still open to the outside air. We ordered the mini ice cream churro sandwiches (can't remember the exact name): two vanilla and one Fresca, which was basically strawberry. Maybe it was because we were hungry, but wow- they smacked. The vanilla paired with the churro was especially incredible. Since I felt like I still hadn't gotten the full churro experience I was craving in CDMX, I hopped back in line and ordered the classic churro. Let me tell you... this thing was HUGE. Basically three churros in one. It came out warm, perfectly crisp, and coated in the best cinnamon topping. You're asked if you want sugar or cinnamon sugar, and with a bit of a language barrier (they don't speak much English), I just said yes and ended up with half cinnamon, half sugar. No complaints here! The cashier and staff were all super friendly and smiley, which made the experience even better despite the communication gap. Overall, such a delicious stop and 100% worth it.

I just wanted one churro to try, so I ordered one. But I found three churros in the bag. It was $16…read moreMXP, so about $0.89 USD. The line was long, but it's worth the wait. The churro is so good. It's a sweet night cap after getting dinner in this area. I wish I got to try the hot chocolate. Credit card accepted. No bathroom here. Some indoor seating with high chairs.

Heard good things about this churro chain in Mexico City. My friend wanted to get churros here so I…read moreagreed. The churros on their own were perfect! However the dipping sauces left a bit to be desired. They were not fresh unfortunately but came in little packages. They were kind of thick and hard to "dip". We had to kind of scoop the sauce with the churro. It was easier to just dunk the churro in the hot chocolate we got. However the hot chocolate was very sweet and then became even more so with the sugar from the churros. The service was very friendly and the place was cute!

And they took my order w/ no problem. They were super nice. Place is super clean and they have good music. So atmosphere pretty cool, great spot to meet friends and hang out or just have a tea, latte, coffee whatever. Crêpe was good but not the best I've had, the dough was thick for my taste and apparently at this spot all the Crêpes have cream cheese. Make sure to tell them no cream cheese if you are lactose intolerant. I asked if they could please remake it because I was lactose intolerant and they fix it with no charge. I was so happy and the fact that they had an amazing attitude made the Crepe taste better. Other than this place is awesome Muchas gracias por sus atenciones y las delicias.

This small bakery is off on a side street and the only reason why I found it was because I just happened to be close to exchanging money. In fact there are at least five or six other small restaurants on the same street. I bought just a single Danish that had some type of pineapple filling. There were so many more like strawberry and orange that were equally tempting. I already knew I wasn't going to go for some heavy chocolate pastry or even a concha for that matter. Calories are important these days and I think I made the right choice with the pineapple danish. The first bite is awesome!

This is one of the very few boutique panaderías that I have ever discovered in Mexico City. They…read moredon't have a huge selection of pastry and cake selection here, but rather some carefully selected pastries that have been crafted into something special. I saw a lot of wonderful arrangements that were put together for the holidays. Finding this panadería came as sheer luck, because it reminded me about the fact that I needed to purchase some gifts for co-workers. I found two gift creations that were not that expensive and I went ahead and purchased those. They also sell a limited amount of regular pastries to take home, but I figured it was a little late in the evening to think about getting these for the house. Another thing to note that this panadería isn't set-up as a cafe so there are no real seating options.

These pastries are delicious! Got conchas, blueberry roll, almond croissant and chocolate donut and…read morethey were great. You get to select all your pastries and put them on a tray which is dangerously delicious idea. They have a little bit of seating and also offered premade sandwiches and full cakes. **Update** We went back the next morning with four friends for more pastries and coffee and we were incorrectly charged. Bought 1 yogurt and was charged for 2. Got two americanos and one with a splash of milk and was charged for two lattes with lactose free milk. Tried to argue the charge for lattes with the woman who worked there and she said it was two americanos and that the charge was correct. Didn't see the two yogurt charge until I got home. Would be wary if you're a tourist or don't speak Spanish. May be taken advantage of.

Picked the coco with dulce de leche. So besides being creative/cute and tasting great- they hand dip each pop in your choice of milk or dark chocolate AND can add nuts to the top! It was the best. Will return on my next trip to Mexico City!

It was such a great deal and the workers were very nice. I would surely return just for their popsicles as well.

I would say i been there when they ooen between 8am-9am and the bread are baked fresh. You can buy by the piece or wholesale. If you visit both bakeries after 7pm, you will run the risk of limited offerings and pastry that is may already have been funbeled, so i say buy in the morning. If you go at night, unless you know exactly what you want and you had it before-Dont Buy it. The breads and pastry were dry out and hard but on the other hand they do offer a small discount for buying right before they close. The concha from panaderia madrid was better for sure and they have a chocolate concha too. I didn't try tamales but they are available in the back in a big steamer. The way you buy bread is you go around with a tray, you fill up tour tray and bring to the packaging area, she gives you a ticket, you pay and come back to the same lady that package yiur food?? Weird and it took a while to understand, that applies for coffee as well. They have a seating area in the back, nice and clean and bathrooms. Bybthe way at the front you can order tostadas, flautas, juices, oaxacan tamales and hot food beginning 8am- I can live here all day and soo affordable!

This place has become a tradition for me whenever I visit CDMX.

This place was a dream! Had no idea it's one of the oldest bakeries in Mexico, and has been there…read moresince 1942. I had one of the best pastries, I've ever had here. It's located in Condesa, and is tucked away. When you walk in, you have to grab a tray/tongs and go about picking the pastries that you would like to buy. They have such a wide variety from empanadas, to buns, to cakes and even refrigerated sweets. The pastry we had that was out of the world: Mousse de guayaba con queso. It's in the refrigerated section, and wow - the texture melted in your mouth, and with the flavors of guava, cheese and truly was a treat!

The rose one, while pretty, was actually quite gelatinous outside so I wasn't a huge fan of that bit but the mousse inside was great. The whole fig tart was delicious! If I had been in Mexico for longer I would've tried some of the other fruit tarts too for sure. It's easy to pay as well, you just bring your tray to the ladies at the packing counter by the entrance and they give you a receipt which you take to the register in the back counter where they ring you up. Then you just pick up your packaged pastries on the way out. Super cute place, will definitely come back next time I'm in Mexico to try other treats!
