Bread Arboleda

"The breads and pastries at Bread Panaderos are famous not just in Monterrey but all over the country. Alejandro Reyes and Bernardo Flores celebrate artisanal baking through natural ingredients and experimentation. The sourdough and butter croissants are the duo’s signatures, but they’ve also made bread using chapulin flour (from Mexican grasshoppers), among other experiments. The pastry menu features kouign amann, conchas (Mexican sweet breads), pain au chocolat, and muffins. The bakery serves breakfast, lunch, and even dinner, when cocktails are offered alongside pizzas and open-faced sandwiches. Inside the bakery you’ll also find Café Pistola, where expert baristas pour coffee and espresso made from specialty Mexican beans. [$-$$]" - Liliana López Sorzano
