If you’re in Mexico City, you’ve probably noticed how popular pan dulce is. And how delicious it is to have with a coffee or a cup of hot chocolate.
Mexicans include sweet bread in their diets daily. Maybe it's for breakfast when leaving for the office, at midday as a snack or for dinner with a glass of milk before going to bed. Seriously, there’s nothing like walking to a local neighborhood bakery and eating a sugary concha or a chocolatín when you’re craving something sweet.
International gastronomical professionals have taken notice of this, which is why Food & Wine experts included Mexico City at number 7 of their 2024 top 10 best bakeries in the world, with cities like Paris, London, Lisbon and Tokyo.
According to their official website, their “readers continue to rank Mexico's capital as one of the best culinary hotspots in the world for everything from fine dining experiences to a casual cup of atole and conchas. Thousands of panaderías line Mexico City's streets, with some, like La Vasconia, dating back to the 19th century. Delve into traditional pastries like crunchy orejas and crumbly polvorones, as well as decadent bombas de dulce de leche, and perfectly flaky croissants”.
