During our recent trip to Mexico City, we finally explored the Condesa neighborhood and stopped at…read moreFicelle, 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!

My friends and I visited Ficelle several mornings for breakfast and pastries, and each time was a…read moredelight. 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.

I don't think you can go wrong here. the sandwiches and pastries are top notch. Not sure what else to say other than: visit Saint as fast as you can! Pro tip: Buy a large baguette and take it with you. They also have french butter in the cooler towards the front. They were making fun of me at first for carrying a large baguette through the city, but this bread came in clutch with my group of weary travelers even a few days later after a flight to Merida! It stayed soft in the middle (which is a sign of authenticity!)

But for now, a short walk from my Hotel Casa Corp along Benjamin Hill to Saint. Lovely place. And I opt for a dulce de keche roll and one of their special seasonal hojaldras. Two things come to mind. The first is that spellcheck changed the name of this pan de muerto to "himalaya ". The next is that the bakery borders Calle Tamaulipas which sounds a lot like Tamale Pass. Restaurant name idea? Maybe. Did I like it? It was fun. It was enjoyable. With so many choices in the city though, it may be a while before I return. Just too many places to try here.

Everything was amazing. Going to be hard to beat, pastry wise. Even my non-sweet loving bf, loved it. The staff are also so sweet and efficient, and the spot itself is super cute. Will be back.

Came here during rush hour, wait was about 25 mins, we roamed around the neighborhood before grabbing a table inside.

Decor is super and the staff in the back have a live bakery where they make fresh goods. We had breakfast which we really liked including our coffees, we wrecked not a big fan on pancake as it has coconut flavor and the guava pastry was the star of the show. Good spot to grab coffee/pastry or for a sit down meal.

The original location looks a lot prettier and bigger. Luckily we were able to get a seat alongside of the bar, but it was relatively packed. The guava pastry was so delicious! I usually don't like fillings in my pastries, but this was the perfect amount. The pastry itself was very flakey and buttery. Nothing to write home about the mocha, however. I definitely would want to check out the main location, but this location had some cute shops nearby to check out as well!

Pan Gabriel is a small, health-focused bakery in Condesa that specializes in organic and…read morealternative baked goods. It's more of a grab-and-go spot than a sit-down café, with a selection that caters to specific dietary preferences like gluten-free, vegan, or low-sugar. We tried a few items to sample the range -- the strawberry empanada, some bread, and their wheat tortillas. The empanada had a mild flavor and wasn't overly sweet, which may be a plus for some but felt a bit underwhelming. The tortillas had a great texture but an unusual aftertaste that stood out. The other bread items we picked up were similarly neutral in flavor -- nothing particularly memorable, but not bad either. Overall, Pan Gabriel seems to prioritize clean ingredients and health-conscious recipes, which is great if that's your focus. Just keep in mind that the taste and richness typical of more traditional baked goods might not be what you'll find here. Pan Gabriel es una pequeña panadería en Condesa enfocada en productos saludables, orgánicos y alternativos. Es más un lugar para llevar que una cafetería para sentarse, con una selección pensada para quienes siguen dietas especiales como sin gluten, vegana o baja en azúcar. Probamos varios productos para tener una idea general: la empanada de fresa, algunos panes y las tortillas de trigo. La empanada tenía un sabor suave y no era muy dulce, lo cual puede ser positivo para algunos, aunque nos pareció un poco insípida. Las tortillas tenían buena textura, pero con un retrogusto algo extraño. Los demás panes también tenían un sabor bastante neutro --nada destacable, pero tampoco desagradable. En general, Pan Gabriel parece priorizar ingredientes limpios y recetas más saludables, lo cual se agradece si eso es lo que buscas. Solo hay que tener en cuenta que el sabor y la riqueza típicos de una panadería tradicional no son lo que encontrarás aquí.

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??
