This location of Monterrey classic breAd is in one end of bicycle shop domestique. It has just a…read morefew tables, and while it doesn't carry the whole breAd menu, it carries a good selection of iced and hot coffee drinks, some canned and bottled beverages, and solid variety of their fresh baked goods (though I think all the baking is done at a different location).
I've been to this location a couple of times a week for the last couple of years. It generally has a fairly steady stream of customers, except when it's really hot out. The staff is generally efficient and friendly, but sometimes they're processes get in the way of efficient service.
Coffee drinks are hit and miss of quality, temperature, and flavor. I've had excellent lattes and americanos, and ones that are so off that I've dumped them. I haven't really figured out what causes it as it can be weeks or even months of good ones, and then ... their off. I love lattes, lavender lattes, and they have one that used to be great. Now it's generally so-so and sometimes just bad, sometimes it doesn't even taste or smell like lavender, and even with this, I still keep coming back for it, so .... go figure?!
The star of the show here is the bread. You can purchase fresh loaves of baguette or brioche. They often have a light brioche that is excellent for sandwiches. They'll even slice it there. They generally have a good selection of muffins, too. The banana-nutella and triple chocolate are both delicious. The muffin batter is a good density and not too sweet, and the mix-ins are well distributed and rich, velvety. Their croissants are solid (regular, almond, chocolate), and they generally also have fruit-filled baked goods, cookies, biscotti (good texture, but flavor is only so-so), scones, and some more traditional Mexican baked goods.
They added pre-made sandwiches (BLT, caprese, tuna, etc.) which are good in a pinch, and in the last few months, they sometimes have pre-made salads.
Sometimes they have a freezerful of Bola (same owner) ice cream, usually in single serving sizes. These creative flavors rotate, so it's worth checking them out to see what's new or interesting. Ice cream in Mexico tends to have a lower fat content so the consistency isn't as creamy as I'm used to, but this is very good, and the flavors are well-done.
Lately they've also had their famous pizza crust. The crusts are thin and frozen. Get a jar of the sauce they carry, find some cheese, and bake them up at home. They are very good.
