Bakery restaurants in Mexico

    Pastelería Ideal

    Mexico’s most glorious array of wedding cakes is on offer at this old-fashioned bakery: this is the place if you need a 70kg, multistory gâteau for your nuptials. Otherwise, there’s a huge variety of breads and pastries with odd names like ‘railroads’ and ‘dark rocks’, whose allusions can only be guessed at. Grab a pair of tongs and stack up your steel tray, then get rung up by one of the scores of girls in blue aprons.

  2. Mama’s Bakery

    At Mama’s try the kiwi-raisin muffins, great carrot cake or the signature sticky buns. Yum! It also offers egg dishes and wonderful smoothies. This intimate, friendly place is a bit hard to find, but don’t give up. Heading north along Gómez, go about four blocks and look on your left for the bamboo wind chimes under the palapa. The small sign is easy to overlook.

    La Espiga Dorada

    Doña Betty Pompa has operated this bakery for nearly 50 years from her home in a grand old building built in 1837. Try the fluffy sweet bread called concheta or a perfect meringue cookie. There's no sign; just follow your nose.

    D' Pancake House

    This is the place for breakfast in San José. Huge portions, reasonable prices and over fifty items to choose from (including waffles, egg dishes, fruit, granola and, of course, pancakes) make it a sure shot. At press time, the owner was firing up a new dinner feature: a buffet featuring sushi, salads and Mexican food.

    Los Buenos Tiempos

    Head here for the best pastries in the state – the smell drifting over the zócalo alone will probably bring you on autopilot. There’s also good coffee and a lively social scene, and it’s a great place to buy a pastry breakfast to take up to the Pirámide de Tepozteco with you.

    El Buen Café

    This simple place does excellent healthy breakfasts, Mexican specialties and sweet home-baked gourmet-style goodies. Think French toast with blackberry sauce, or thick oatmeal topped with blackberries and crème brûlée.

    Pop in to Super Pan Garcia for a slice of pastel de tres leches (three-milk cake) - it's legendary in Loreto. The other baked goods are delicious too.
