We found La Buena Vida at the TOSMA Saturday Farmers Market (behind Mecado Sano). We had been told by a friend "you must stop there and at least get an orange glazed donut". Well that donut was THE BEST DONUT I have ever had, and I was a baker for over 30 years. Not only was the donut GREAT!!! so were the apple empanada (the puff pastry version with house made apple filling), the gingersnap cookies (really crunchy and not too sweet), multigrain bread (SO good!), and the crackers (get more than you think you need... trust me on this, and they make a great snack on the flight home). Next trip I want to try one (at least) of everything.
If you are not able to go to the Saturday farmers market, they have a store front tucked into the back of Plaza Golondrinas (Hernández Macías #72-5 37700 San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, Mexico). Their hours are 8-3 Monday-Saturday. You can find them at https://www.facebook.com/labuenavidasma
