With the mural-covered neighborhood of Santa Teresita is a corner bakery that may be the best in…read moreGuadalajara. My daughter and I walked over on a Monday around 8:30 a.m. Here's our experience: 1) Food: Warm pastries from around the world are displayed behind glass the moment you enter the bakery. Scones for Great Britain, cardamom buns for Sweden, and chocolate chip cookies for the USA. We ordered a cardamom bun, chocolate glazed donut and a chocolate chip cookie. All three were delicious, but the winners were the donut and chocolate chip cookie. You know the baker is talented when he makes a chocolate chip cookie that outshines any in the country of its origin. 2) Drinks: They brew a full coffee menu and my latte was excellent. There are sweetener options on the counter from stevia to brown sugar. They also have cold bottles of water for $10 pesos. 3) Space: It's small, but the walls are decorated with fun murals. A few small tables are throughout and there's even a corner with a stuffed animal and molding sand for kids. (My daughter LOVED that corner.) 4) Service: The man behind the register was kind and clearly passionate about his bakery. There was a consistent flow of customers and he seemed to know most.

This is one of my favorite bakeries in Guadalajara. Since I live nearby, I usually go at least once…read morea week. This hole-in-the-wall place looks like every other local bakery from the outside, except for the line of in-the-know folks constantly present in the morning. They offer a combination of typical pastries (conches, berlinesas, donas) and European style pastries (croissants, cardammon rolls etc). The almond croissant is wonderful and almost always runs out before noon. The cinnamon roll (which honestly, looks pretty humble in the case) is one of the best I've ever had. Their rolls are always filled with something like guava or strawberry, but not in an overly sweet way. It just gives a nice softness/moistness to the roll when so many fall victim to severe dryness. This is also my place for sourdough bread, which I buy on a weekly basis. It's very small and has only 2-3 tables inside, so ordering to go is the best option. I suggest bringing a Tupperware container if you're going to take anything with icing on it home!

I had a version of mango without milk more like a sorbet and someone else had the one with milk which was creamier but heavier. Mine was refreshing.

Toh Haa Alta Chocolatería is a Guadalajara-based local fine chocolate factory store. They have…read moreseveral locations around the Guadalajara metroplex. This one is located inside Plaza Universidad. I came across the one in Andares Mall first by chance, and tried a sample they offered passersby. I knew this was something my wife would love. I was right. Now I cannot return from Guadalajara without some Toh Haa sugar free truffles. My wife says they are the best she has ever had. Toh Haa offers a variety of fine chocolates and other products such as skin cream, and other chocolate based products. They have milk chocolate, dark chocolate, dark chocolate in bars, truffles, chocolate covered nuts and fruits (including coffee beans), smaller pieces to serve on a candy dish, and more. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality. The service is also very attentive and friendly. Toh Haa's chocolates are not cheap, but they are the best and worth the price. They can compete with any American or European chocolatier. Excellent.
