The Best Restaurants in the Heights
"Pastries are taken very seriously at this James Beard Award-nominated bakery, where the flaky creations are made fresh every morning. It’s no wonder that the conchas, which have earned a reputation as some of the softest in the city, often sell out fast. Get there early to snag a seat and savor popular dishes like the French Toast, featuring brioche soaked in a Hoja Santa custard and served with whipped cream and berries. For a savory option, consider the huaraches — tender masa cakes topped with black beans, grilled chicken, salsa paloma, cabbage, and a dollop of sour cream, and don’t forget to take something from the pastry case home. The masa cornbread and blue corn conchas won’t disappoint." - Brianna Griff, Brittany Britto Garley
