Chocolate-covered strawberries and gourmet truffles are all made in-house and are served by adorable grandmothers in their Little Miss Muffet–like uniforms topped with lace bonnets.

Open daily 5 am–midnight, this popular bakery is a good spot to try one of the city's trademark delicacies: the brazo gitano (gypsy arm), a gigantic jelly roll filled with anything from guava to sweet cheese. There are also tasty pastries like flan, tres leches cake, mallorcas, and cheesecake, as well as freshly baked bread and a selection of sandwiches.
