Gringos Guide to Mexico City

By the time you wake up in Mexico City, everyone is already setting up shop on the corners. Tortas and tlacoyos are being prepared as early as nine in the morning and the city is filled with over twenty million hungry people. 
Created by Mexico City native Elena Reygadas, Rosetta Panaderia is loved by those near and far. Regadas started her foundation in an Italian restaurant but the breads there became so popular that she opened the panaderia. The bakery is located in the heart of the neighborhood Roma Norte, where the streets are lined with beautiful old row houses and leafy trees.
Every morning, employees run back and forth between the restaurant and bakery carrying trays of freshly baked bread on their heads. The small bakery has an indoor bar-like seating area and benches outside but the best place to eat fresh bread is in the Plaza Rio de Janeiro park. ​ 


​

The bakery’s menu ranges from sweet cinnamon or canela rolls to savory bread rolls. Some of the must orders at the bakery are ricotta and guava bread, cinnamon rolls, and the cheese and tomato quiche. The breads are flaky and filled with flavor in every crook like croissants with unique flavors. The ricotta and guava bread combined sweet and savory into one soft-centered, crunchy-outside roll. The quiche was a surprise stand out made with fresh tomatoes and gooey goat cheese.
To truly experience the bakery at its best you have to sit on a bench in the park. If you’re lucky you might even get to meet Floppy, the small golden lab who soaks up the sun by the replica of the David statue amongst many other dogs. The bakery is the perfect place for your early morning outing before a trip to Frida Kahlo's Casa Azul or the Zocalo.

I would love to have a taste of bread in this panaderia. We call bakery in the Philippines the same name. Lola, you amaze me with your adventures. Keep them coming.
