"With a storefront so discreet you’ll probably smell it before you spot it, Las Delicias sets the standard for traditional pan dulce. Exploring the shelves you’ll find jelly-filled empanaditas, swirling puff pastry barquillos stuffed with creamy custard, and a massive, sprawling pan de muerto perfect for an ofrenda or for breakfast, alongside other staples that might seem slightly out of place (yes, banana nut muffins too). To me Las Delicias exemplifies that “sweet bread” is a broad category — from conchas to raised brioche donuts — and it’s really about filling your tray with pan de elote, a strawberry smiley-face cookie, and the simple pleasure of cheap snacks." - Charlie Lahud-Zahner
