This bakery is huge! I decided to stop by on my last day to pick up some sweets for my son and my…read morecoworkers. They have four sections: bakery, cookies, cakes, and gelatins. You select what you want, pay, and then pick up your order. Their cookie selection is immense, and they sell them by the pound. I ordered two boxes at half a pound each. The cookies are delicious (think Whole Foods cookies, but better). For sweet bread, I only chose six pieces since they don't travel well on a plane, but wow... the quality was outstanding and the variety is incredible. Service is quick and cordial. The place itself is an old bakery with amazing lighting and original floors from the 1930s. If you're in CDMX, this is a must stop.

3.5 stars When I arrived it was quite overwhelming, the…read moreplace is huge. You can't imagine how large a bakery could be. You're supposed to grab a tray and tongs then take what you want to the cashier. The place was so large that I didn't bother grabbing a tray because I just wanted to look at everything first. I ended up getting a corn muffin my friends grabbed a few things they didn't really know what they were, just grabbed what looked good. My corn muffin was ok., it was moist, dense, and had real pieces of corn in it. I tried some of my friend's raspberry baguette it was also pretty good. Dense baguette and tasty dried raspberry's and some nuts maybe walnuts? My other friend got some bread thing with sugar on top. It was a bit dry and not very buttery. I didn't care for that one. There was a whole gambit of baked goods to choose from, donuts, bread, cakes, pastries, even sandwiches. We tried asking what they were known for, no one seemed to know. So I guess there's no specialty. Prices were very reasonable around 15-22 pesos maybe some were more depending on what you chose. I found it to be a good Mexican bakery but not as refined as a French bakery. I guess you gotta find what's good and what you like. Unfortunately I didn't find that item yet.

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.

This is a lovely little upscale cafe. I had somewhat of a sweet tooth after work, and I was also…read morein the mood for a cappuccino. Even though I didn't really need the extra caffeine in the early evening, I still wanted to try it. This cafe seemed like it had a cool vibe so I came to check it out. I noticed something similar to a cinamon bun called the Rol de queso con Zarzanora. It wasn't exactly the same size as a cinamon bun, it was a little smaller but it actually tasted richer. The capuchino with vanilla flavoring was even better. There are plenty of tables and chairs outside, and that's where I pretty much stayed during my time at the cafe. This is a nice quiet spot!

I used to like this place, but I'm afraid it's gone a bit downhill. I want to throw it a rope and…read moretry and help it climb back up, but there's simply too many other good bakeries in Mexico City for it to be worthwhile. I don't mind all their pastries that don't require refrigeration being left out in the open, but at least cover them to keep the bugs off of them. But just when I thought it was only the open air pastries that were getting swarmed by bees, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the little fruit flies swarming inside the fridge. Normally, I would come here for a cheap sandwich, believe it or not, and grab a pastry while I was at it, but the quality of everything seems to have gone into decline, except the service, which has always been friendly and attentive.
