panificadora

Okay, just back home so I can tell you...the bakery whose name I forgot is "Panaficadora."

I'm a fan of the rather plain pastry roll called a "concha," or shell. The top is sugared in a shell pattern. :P

The bakeries are self-serve, so unfortunately I rarely notice what I'm buying. Sometimes the bins are marked, sometimes not. But it makes it easy for us tourists to select what we want without having to point.

I do love the "bolillo" hard rolls. They make excellent sandwiches, but I eat them plain.

I also like the danishes with whole pineapple slices or peach halves in the center. :P

There are a couple of new cake and coffee shops (Italian?) in town; one on 10th and one on the "north side" (32nd?) - never got around to trying them this time.
