    A perfect cafe experience for me consists of outdoor seating, a solid selection of sweet and savory laminated pastries, and coffee that is served in proper glassware. For that in and of itself, Pan con Madre is a winner. This is the first cafe we stopped by on our week in Oaxaca and it was so good we went back later in the week. Staff is very friendly and helpful, offering recommendations if you have trouble making up your mind. There is a sense of leisure in the outdoor seating area and just sitting there in silence was quite peaceful to me. Iced lattes were very solid and they have oat milk as well! I wouldn't come here expecting a croissant in the traditional French style, it definitely has a Oaxacan twist, but that is what makes it so special and worthwhile :)

    best concha i've ever had. the vanilla shell was sweet and actually tasted like vanilla (not just sweet like many conchas). unlike many other conchas i've had where the bread is more dry, the bread was as soft as a croissant. i fear that i won't able to have concha as amazing again i didn't get to take a photo because my bf and i scarfed it down. service was good and the bakery had a very warm ambiance

    The panque de plátano (rebanada) was moist and full of flavor and the iced Américano excellent. They speak English.

    Artisanal bakery on the higher end. The bread is made from scratch daily and there is a variety of breads to choose from. We tried the maracuya tarta, almond croissant, ham croissant, dulce de leche croissant and plain croissant. There is no wrong option. Everything is delicious. Our favorite was the dulce de leche and almond croissant. For drinks we tried the americano and cardamom latte. Americano was a bit on the basic side and the cardamon latte had an earthy taste. Def recommend checking this place if you're in Oaxaca.

    We stayed down the street from here and ate hot pastries every morning. They have a list of baking times for various pastries and serve coffee too. I suggest the chocolate bun.

    Wow it's like being back in Paris the croissant amazing that's all I can say. If you ever visite Oaxaca you need to come and have coffee and there pastries. At Pan de Madre

    I tried the pizza during my first visit…read more This time, I opted for the pasta. My boyfriend ordered the four cheese pasta and I got the arrabiata. The four cheese was extremely bland. The only flavor that it had was "stinky feet." The arrabiata was also bland. It just tasted like tomatoes. It was supposed to have onions and chiles too, but it didn't really taste like it. When I've had arrabiata at other restaurants it's usually a little spicy. I was extremely disappointed. Also, the bread that they served us before the meal tasted like it was stale and freezer burned (at the same time). Additionally, there was mold in the bowl of parmesan that they gave me for my pasta. I didn't notice until after I was almost finished (and I had used a lot of parmesan to try to add flavor). I'm really underwhelmed. The pasta ranged from mediocre to bad and the service was extremely slow. Even though this place is very close to my apartment, I will not be back. I will go to the other Italian place (a block away) or I will dump some Prego on some noodles and it'll be more flavorful.

    My partner and I stopped at La Rústica for dinner on a night when we just felt like having pizza…read moreand salad instead of a big Mexican dinner. We were not disappointed. We ordered two glasses of wine, a Mista salad and a medium size pizza with mushrooms and chorizo. We were told the small pizza wasn't enough for 2 people. The salad was served with fresh from the oven bread and two salsas, one was a not too spicy pesto, the other fiery hot red chilies. The vegetables in the salad were fresh as could be and the bread was tasty, but we only took a bite as we were waiting for a pizza after all. The pizza, which was larger than we anticipated, was bubbling hot, the crust was tasty, thin and crisp. The cheese, sauce and toppings made for a delicious pie, but with the addition of some of the pesto salsa it was a home run. It just proved to be too much pizza for us and we were able to finish only half of it. We suspect the small pizza would have been just right. Bottom line, we highly recommend this cozy place if you're looking for a great pizza and fresh salad.

The service was slow, which we forgave because we showed up right after a big family, but that didn't really excuse the dirty plates. Also, our food came out in this order: my husband's dinner, appetizers, my dinner, forks. We had to put an extra plate over his food to keep it warm while we waited for him to get a fork to eat it with. I love the food in Oaxaca, but after more than a week of mole and cheese, I thought it might be nice to take a little break. I came here because I saw the delicious-looking shrimp pasta in someone else's yelp review. Attached is a picture of my shrimp pasta. There was about a quarter-inch of tomato water at the bottom of what I thought was going to be a garlic and oil-based sauce. Very bland and watery. But I probably would have let all of that slide (kind of my fault for trying to get Italian food in Oaxaca) if my husband and I both hadn't woken up around midnight after our meal to struggle in the bathroom. I'll spare you the details, but it was no fun. I'm kicking myself--the first time I got sick visiting Mexico, and it was because I tried to find some American-style comfort food. Whoops! The rooftop was nice, and the wine was good, but I won't make this mistake again.

    Came here a few times while I visited Oaxaca. I have to say that this is genuinely a great bakery…read more Everything I got there was delicious. The English muffin in particular is to die for! I kid you not, best English muffin I have ever had . If you're wondering what to order you should grab their breakfast sandwich with the English muffin. 10/10! Add a little salsa macha and you got yourself gourmet meal. Everyone here was super helpful and nice. The cashier in the bakery recommended some sweets that I ended up loving. And the servers in the restaurant were also kind. This is the spot to get a wonderful breakfast! You can't go wrong with what you order.

We went a little before open and there was already a small line forming. We ordered the ham and cheese croissant ($145 MXN) and the shakshuka ($135). The croissant was soft and I liked the cheesiness and creaminess. The shakshuka had a bit of spice and I liked dipping the bread into the sauce. The eggs were a little hard though and not runny at all. Both of these dishes were delicious and I still think about the shakshuka even today. For drinks we had the flat white ($58) and iced latte ($63) which were also good. We usually don't go to the same place more than once during our travels but this place was just so good we had to. This was my favorite brunch spot and I can see why it's such a popular spot.
