The Best Panaderías & Pan Dulce Shops in LA - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Before you pull up and question whether you're in the right place: there's nothing French about this Arlington Heights bakery. It did sell baguettes in its previous life, but after quite the rebrand, came into its own as an excellent panadería. Expect long lines most days, which means time to stare at sugar-crusted pan dulce and debate which you'll eat on the drive home. Their selection is massive, but highlights include custard-filled pastelitos, gusano rolls with streusel, and fluffy tortas de azucar that are so airy they magically disappear in your morning coffee. Cash only." - sylvio martins
