"Located in South Park, this little bakery boasts a pan dulce assortment large enough to leave me momentarily mesmerized by a surplus of choice. For sweets try the niño envuelto — a bright strawberry Swiss roll sprinkled with shredded coconut — and for something more mellow the bigote (mustache) is like a silly sugar-topped croissant but significantly more bready. The bakery leans into playful forms and names: orejas dipped in chocolate become “elephant feet,” “volcanoes” use the same dough as conchas but are shaped with cracks that resemble glutinous eruptions, and “little pigs” are gingerbread cookies cut to look like piggies." - Charlie Lahud-Zahner
