Mexican Pastry, the KiwiFav of the Week

Even though living in a culinary oasis like Mexico City can make it difficult to find good croissants and chocolatines, which should have a crispy texture, a delicious buttery flavor, and a good amount of filling, this task is not impossible. Bollería Mexicana, a small bakery located in the north of the city, is the perfect example. Bollería Mexicana opened its doors just over two years ago, becoming a favorite among the neighbors, as when they open their curtain, a long line of people is already waiting to buy the best sweet bread in the area. If you are a sweet bread lover, then you cannot miss the chocolatines, which are filled with a lot of semi-bitter chocolate, unlike the commercial versions. On the other hand, I also recommend trying the doughnuts covered in chocolate, conchas, muffins, scones, and puff pastry crowns with pastry cream and fresh fruits. On special occasions, Bollería Mexicana offers Rosca de Reyes and special desserts for Mother's Day, Father's Day, Children's Day, and even Christmas. They also offer savory bread made with rye flour, blueberries, and walnuts, which is perfect to accompany with an egg and avocado for breakfast. Their croissants can also be filled with cheese and ham, and at times you can also find crispy baguettes. If you're a fan of pizza, be sure to try theirs, but remember to order in advance. What characterizes this bakery is that the bread is fresh; so much so that most of the time you can see how they are preparing it on the spot. Therefore, it not only offers delicious, fresh, and high-quality bread, but it is also a local business that creates jobs, so don't hesitate to visit them.
