This is an absolutely stellar bakery, the best I've been to surely. I'm not a coffee or pastry…read moreperson at all, so it really says something when I think so highly of a place like this. It's one of those rare places that get really hyped up and turn out to actually be worth the hype. We stopped in here on three different occasions during our Mexico City trip, and despite how viral it is there was never a line. The staff was very friendly, prices very reasonable, and order always came out super quick. My favorite things were the rol de guayaba, cafe de olla, and the puerquito de piloncillo. The guava pastry and puerquito were very fresh, soft and not crummy at all. The guava pastry was specifically memorable as it had the most delicious creamy filling in it that tasted like real guava and not overly sweet. The cafe de olla was addicting with the spices being perfectly balanced. It sets the standard for cafe de olla... it's not clear if I'll ever get one as good as the one they make here. This is a must stop during any visit to Mexico City.

This is a place where you grab a tray, pick your bread, pay at the cashiers, and then it's bagged for you--or you pick up your items at the designated area by showing your paid receipt. There are no tables or chairs to sit, so we just are as we walk town.

It was OK not amazing like some people commented. If you ask me if this is the best bakery in Mexico City then I have to say NO. But it's definitely worth the visit just to smell and look at people who bought tray full of goodies.

It's the kind of place where you walk in planning to get one thing and leave with a few extras. I especially love going during Día de los Muertos for their pan de muerto it's seriously so good. This place has become a tradition for me whenever I visit CDMX.

I tried jello and several pan dulces. Their hours are great. The interior has a retro feel with the brown chairs. You grab a tray and grab your own pastries or go to the ordering counter on the right for savory foods. They had cakes and colorful jellos too. They're fast and efficient here. The bad: The pastries are all out and exposed so anyone can touch them. There aren't any cases or stuff to protect the pastries. This is more common here however. The interesting: They have a smaller shop nearby with coffee and some pastries that's open even earlier.

The hype is real! I'm a sucker for anything guava and this was no exception!…read more We decided to stop here before starting our day, and this location was the closest to our AirBnB, but it wasn't the original location. 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!
