As a pastry chef I am always trying new recipes, and sometimes the ingredients asked for are not…read moreeasy to find. I've been to almost every store in Oaxaca selling materials & ingredients. I believe pastigel is the one that has the biggest variety, anything from butter, sugar, flour, parchment paper, chocolate, silicone molds, baking trays and everything in between. There's also classes availables, depending on the season. I am seriously thinking about signing up for the lace sugar decoration class, it looks so interesting and the prices are very accesible. For the products sold there, there's different brands available, from Wilton to Alegria, also the prices vary depending on the brand, personally I do love Wilton, cookie cutters, piping bags, paper cups, etc. So whenever you feel like being creative visit this store, is by far the best baking & pastry supply store in Oaxaca.

I usually get flour,sugar and oil, and also dog food, there's a 25kg bag for $360. Which when you have a big dog comes very useful plus it's a good quality product. Also when we have family reunions we buy all our meat, condiments & bread here. There's a baking section with lots of yummy baked goods at good prices. I did prefer when there was a variety of bagels to choose from but now they come in 1 flavour already packed. Sometimes you can also find good deals on clothes & shoes. You'll find less people if you go early morning during weekdays, weekends tend to be really busy and there big lineups but you don't have to wait for too long.

When you pay I love the old lady packing your stuff gives you a candy, it just makes my day.
