What a surprise when we walked by a coffee shop and the showcase was filled with dozens of french pastries.All beautifully decorated. Quite the eye candy. The chocolate mousse, the lemon or strawberry tarts, the eclairs, and regular dough pastry to go with your morning coffee. They offer a variety of coffees as well. A good place to start the... More

The pastries here are SO good. They rival any I ever had in France. Like others here I have become addicted!

Cute cafe with delicious pastries - pain au chocolat and the Mayan pyramid dessert (chocolate and chilli). Coffee is not so bad either.

I developed an unhealthy obsession with this place while living in San Cristobal and working in a nearby hostel. Managed to try just about everything and was never dissappointed. Particularly fond of the chocolate mousse cake (not sure of the name) the chocolate chili pyramid dessert, and the maracuya tart-- also the pepitas are amazing, and the coffee is great... More

Chocolate de pan is just like in Paris! And great coffee......only downside is the prices are about the same as at home!

The pastries here are absolutely delicious. I particularly recommend trying the strawberry tart and almond croissant. Stay somewhere that doesn't include breakfast so you can eat here every day!

Located at Calle Real de Guadalupe, just next to a pharmacy is this little patisserie. I've tasted bread in France and can tell you this one is just as good. Owner is French and Bread is crazy good. Try the chocolatines, the croissants, coffee is superb.

I gotta say I was pleasantly surprised with this place as it's on the main drag, looking a bit too catered to the tourist crowd but I was dead wrong. Pastries are very, very nice and always tasted fresh which was a welcome relief from some of the other places in town. Coffee was both hot and strong, complementing the... More
