Filos Bakery to Sell Mexican-German Pastries in La Cosecha Latin Market | Eater DC

"I learned that Filos Bakery has signed on for a tiny, 145-square-foot stall in La Cosecha; started last year by Francesca Arienzo, a former lawyer born and raised in Mexico City with German and Italian heritage, the Mexican-German bakery already sells sweets online, at Shop Made in DC, and at farmers markets in Petworth and Van Ness. The menu includes conchas in vanilla and chocolate, Vanillekipferl (German almond-butter crescent cookies), streuselkuchen (plain or stuffed with poppy seed or raspberry), and at La Cosecha she’ll be offering a true German–Mexican mash-up: guava-stuffed streuselkuchen; a sample menu also lists tres leches cake, cheesecake, cinnamon rolls, bolillo rolls, matchaconchas, and cerditos de piloncillo (little pig-shaped cookies made with unrefined brown sugar)." - Gabe Hiatt
