During our recent trip to Mexico City, we finally explored the Condesa neighborhood and stopped at Ficelle, a bakery I had seen recommended on TikTok. The pastries and service were delicious. While they do not have indoor seating, it was very pleasant to sit outside on the sidewalk and people-watch. We tried three different pastries: a plantain pudding pastry, a fruity meringue pastry, and a very unique peanut butter and chapulines cruffin. All were excellent. My only piece of constructive feedback is regarding the payment process. We had to pay for the pastries separately from the coffee, which made the experience less smooth. It would be much more convenient if everything could be paid for on a single check. Overall, it was a wonderful spot! read more

My friends and I visited Ficelle several mornings for breakfast and pastries, and each time was a delight. The service was attentive and friendly--occasionally a little slow, but that's part of the relaxed rhythm of being in Mexico. The outdoor seating is charming, surrounded by greenery and decorated with natural plants, which creates such a pleasant atmosphere to start the day. I especially enjoyed the Betty juice made with beets--it was fresh, vibrant, and absolutely delicious. The pastry selection feels endless, unlike anything I've experienced elsewhere in Mexico. During our visit, they were offering pan de muerto for Día de los Muertos, with a creative twist: a rich chocolate filling. It was outstanding! Overall, my friends and I had a wonderful experience here--delicious food, a beautiful setting, and a bakery that truly makes you want to come back again and again. read more

Great selection of pastries. Very fresh and beautifully displayed. Their baked goods were very good. Their coffee, however, was not good at all. Their latte had zero coffee flavor and just tasted like steamed milk. Come for the pasties but avoid the latte. read more

The pastry scene in CDMX need not apologize to anyone - some of the best and most innovative patisserie I've tasted in years was at the various bakeries we sampled in Roma Norte and Condesa over the past few days, and Ficelle was probably the best among them. We loved everything we tried, but the star of the show was the tarta de higos (fig tart), with large pieces of fig that still tasted sweet even after switching off bites with a decadent chocolate cookie they also have an offer. read more

This cafe is true to itself the real deal. What made the cafe super interesting to me was the fact that they sell great pastries, various forms of cafes, and an equally diverse selection of wine. This block was already teaming with people dining on the sidewalk, and this cafe took it a step further with real awnings and plenty of light. The only things missing were the outdoor heat lamps. Obviously they don't use those in this part of the world, although it was a little nippy when I walked over here. I came on a complete whim, and I ordered a pastry with fruit and a cold Topo Chiko agua in the plastic bottle. I could tell the pastry had not been sitting on the counter all day, because it was still soft. I liked this cafe as well as this trendy little neighborhood. read more

Wow! Danishes are excellent and well-filled. There's a little of everything here. There are full cakes available, there's wine to buy, there are pastries, baguettes, muffins, small pastries, and larger pastries as well. Some things, I've never seen before, like the crunchy guava lemon tart. I ordered it to go, so I'll update once it's tried. We had a chocolate danish and a cream & fruit danish and they were well-filled and super flaky. I would definitely return here. read more

A tiny space full of delicious baked goods. We picked up some scrumptious breakfast treats. Staff friendly and helpful.

Last week we were in the wonderful area of Condesa, and looking for a cash exchange house, when we stumbled upon this gem. I marveled at the wonderful display of goodies they had and couldn't wait to get in and try one. It was a side trip from our mission, but well worth stopping by and tasting their pastries. My husband had a fig pastry and I had a wonderful apple Danish (image provided). These pastries are the fluffy, flaky kind, and am curious for the secret recipe. I wanted to return, naively believing there is all sorts of time. Mexico City has an even shorter minute than a New York minute. Asides the wonderful pastries, the girls behind the counter were very informed and friendly. I have made a future bookmark to return. read more

Twice in two days. You'll look in this vitrine and want every last thing in it. Absolutely gorgeous pastries. Very friendly staff who indulged me in my attempts to speak Spanish. And the food...well, I wouldn't have gone twice in two days if it wasn't incredible. Peach tart one day, cherry tart the next. Textured just as hard as I would like them to be. Not overly sweet. You really could taste the different fruits and not just butter and sugar. read more

Ficelle is quite cute. It was recommended to me by a friend so I went out of my way to come here, and I will say the selection of pastries was smaller than some of the other pastelerías I had been to. That said, I got a couple individual petite fours here (appreciate they sell them separately so you don't have to buy a bunch - I just bought 2) and they were lovely! One was passion fruit and the other fig. The workers were really sweet and spoke English fairly well so they were able to give me some recommendations. The area is cute and fairly safe, near several parks (so also nice to people watch in the area). Overall I wouldn't go out of my way to come here again but i was glad to visit it the once! read more

Ficelle was the first cafe I visited and spent time in during my first visit to Ciudad Mexico. As a matter of fact, I had breakfast there every day during my week-long visit. The pastries, breakfast food, and drinks were all delicious! Also, the entire staff was incredibly friendly, warm, and very attentive. I miss my time there and greatly look forward to returning on my next visit to CDMX. Highly recommend Ficelle! read more

A French Bakery in the middle of Condesa? Let's try this! Walking in... its average size with two huge pastry cases and a view of chefs at work in back. They have probably 100 different items so be patient with the people & staff! Everything is amazing I thought... with the Vanilla Eclair & Flan being a stand out. Also the Lemon Tart is amazing! Didn't get a chance to try and of the breads but I will next time. Great place to grab a box of stuff to keep at the hotel/airbnb for LATER if you know what I mean! Prices average/ talk later read more

Perfect French pastries in a busy section of La Condesa between partc Mexico and parcels espagne. Great breakfast and coffee spot. There seems to be an endless supply of great coffee and pastries in this town. I've not had anything to prove otherwise. Great ambiance for people watching with mix of locals and tourists read more

I had the pleasure of visiting Ficelle several times over the course of a month-long stay, and was mostly impressed with their offerings. I tried a variety of desserts, breads, and quiches, and found them all to be quite tasty. The cashiers were always polite and helpful, and made the ordering process a breeze. Admittedly, the prices were a little high, but still very reasonable for the neighborhood. The croissants were excellent, with just the right amount of buttery goodness. Other standouts were the bollo, pain au chocolat, boule, chouqettes, macarons. I really wanted to love the flan since it felt like such a treat to order a big slice, but I didn't; it was good, but missing that little extra that could have made it stand out. Overall, Ficelle is a great bakery with a lot to offer. While there were a few items that didn't quite hit the mark for me, I was mostly pleased with everything I tried and will go again next time I visit. read more

I got a chocolate flan here one day which was very good. Very clean and bright. The staff seemed a little uninterested but maybe it was just an off day. read more

These were the best pastries we had in Mexico City. We love this place so much that we went twice during our three day stay in Mexico City. All the pastries we had were absolutely delicious. We had a chocolate almond croissant, sticky bun, and a braided puff pastry with chocolate. We also enjoyed a coffee at the coffee shop right next door while we ate our pastries. The staff was very nice too. Highly recommend! read more

Yummy and well-priced desserts! We stayed close by so stopped by often to get croissants and mini tarts. They have a bunch of tarts with different fruits on top - the world is your oyster! We tried kiwi, lemon, raspberry, blueberry, pineapple, all good! Their croissants are also delicious. read more

When you're carving for something sweet, this is a solid choice, the variety of desserts and artisanal bread it's honestly great, even if among them there's some that are better than others. A big plus is that you can also order food or drinks from the bistro next door. If they have: Flan, Banana bread or Canele, buy as many as you can, you don't want to regret it later read more

Wonderful French bakery in Condessa. Great croissant, pan au chocolate, ....bread looked incredible but I was having pastries for breakfast. Lots of savory options as well. Beautiful pastries and tarts beyond the breakfast fare. Meringues and cookies as well. No beverage service but there are great coffee and tea options at the cafe that is directly next door. They seem to share outdoor seating. read more

Nice location, terrible service. Mediocre food. My wife ordered an egg croissant sandwich. She lifted the upper crust and the egg whites poured out onto her plate. I ordered a salmon bagel and asked for the bagel to be toasted dark. Bagel arrived completely untoasted. They just cut the cold bagel in half, spread the cream cheese as lightly as one would spread butter. Prices are what we'd pay back in the States. BTW, we speak enough Spanish to get by. This was just poor all the way around. read more

There is a pastry here that has some kind of cream and a raspberry on one side and another red fruit on the other side and omg it is heavenly. I wish I could give a better description of it - I'll have to go back and take a photo. But it's dreamy and you must get it. read more

Shu wee! Delicious treato's ! Tried a handful of macarons, crème pastries, and some sort of lemon biscuits Good selection and service! read more

Heaven. We had time for just one bite each - petit fours. But that is all it took to fall in love. One perfect bite.

I got a quick croissant from here for breakfast one day. It was a bit on the crunchy side.

I highly recommend this bakery. They have the best croissants I've found in Condesa/Roma area.

I purchased the raspberry macaron and the macaron tasted stale. The lemon curd filling and raspberries were fine. We also ordered the passion fruit tart and it was mostly cake and not much filling read more

Charming bakery, unfortunate experience! Ficelle is a charming bakery with a beautiful selection of pastries. My boyfriend and I visited a couple of days ago, and we really wanted to love it. We ordered the meat pie (de res) and a of couple pastries, which we were able to enjoy at the cafe next door. The chocolate croissant was absolutely amazing. We loved it so much that we got a slice of quiche and chicken pot hand pie to go. When we got back to our apartment, we heated the pot pie only to find mold all over the inside! Not a little, but a lot. Improperly stored chicken could have easily given us salmonella. I understand people make mistakes, but this one was very big. I really hope Ficelle reads this review and starts better storage practices. For now I would stick to the croissants. read more

If ever in La Condesa CDMX this place is a must visit. I felt like making authentic French Toast with Brioche in the morning and this tiny little French bakery is the only place I could find a freshly baked loaf. I couldn't resist and also picked up several sweet treats for the kids. Covid compliant and super clean. Everything was delicious. read more
