We visited El Maque on a Sunday morning after we finished an appointment in the area. Some friends…read morehad previously recommended it to us. We arrived at just before 9:30 am. From the moment you walk in, a wonderful buttery and sugary smell of baking envelopes you. There is a bakery workstation at the entry so you can see the pastries and sweet breads being made by hand. There are several indoor dining rooms, outdoor terraces, a greenhouse area, and a patio. The atmosphere is lovely. It feels completely peaceful and well tended. The service is wonderful. The waitresses wear retro ruffled and starched uniforms. They were very attentive. The foot was completely fresh, simple, yet beautifully prepared. They had a special chipotle chilaquiles that were delicious. The omelette was delicious as well. Not in a Julia Childs kind of way. More of in a traditional Mexican kind of way. The baskets of pan dulces that they brought for us were fresh and delicious. The orange and mandarin juice tasted like it had been squeezed on the spot. The teas were wonderful. Overall, a completely satisfying breakfast experience. We got there at 9:30 am on a Sunday and the place was half empty and we were seated immediately. by 10am, the last tables were filling up and after that point I'm sure there was a wait. I would highly recommend this restaurant. I'm already looking forward to going back.

Environment was absolutely very rich with culture. The…read moreladies and gents wore colonial style attire and all had a very clean appearance. There was indoor/outdoor seating that was enchanting because of the trees and birds frolicking about. I immediately became an addict of the oreaja pastries. I went basic today and asked for a fajita which isn't really a Mexican dish. It's a Tex-mex meal. Never the less, I was very satisfied! Oh yeah and the tea was delicious too. Looked like an alcoholic beverage but it wasn't. Check out the pics I added.

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.

Get a tray and try to decide, I dare you. Everything smells and looks great, and a HUGE variety!read more

If you come in the morning you can fresh pastries, if you come at night an hour or 2 before they…read moreclose, you will ask your self. Was the place ransacked? Shelves were empty, they do not sell hot beverages, how can i eat my breakfast pastry with my coffee, that should be illegal. No seating to consume your pastry, that's insane? Why they been around for 90 years and nobody ever thought about these things. Honestly, thats - 2 stars already. Plus food or pastry dont have labels so you have to guest at what you buy unless you find a employer nearby and that was next to impossible. After you selected pastry, you take it to packaging area, then you have to get on another line to pay. Once you oay you present the ticket to the lady that packaged your items and get out. No seating and we had to go find coffee at 8am because they dont sell beverages, dis i say that??

The coffee had a great blend off mocha and coffee despite it was a decaf (knowing it has less flavour), it delivered a great taste. Attention of the waiter Enrique was great and non intrusive. Cutlery was not pristine, the same as the glass which showed a sign deterioration and lack of luxury, I hope the utensils match the flavour in the near future.

It's pretty good. 125 pesos though. ($10cdn) They no longer seem to have the 50% discount after 8pm though. But I guess it has been 6 years. Good for people with a bit of a sweet tooth.
