According to Elena Reygadas, chef at Rosetta, La Panadería de Rosetta, Lardo, and Café Nin: "I really enjoy visiting traditional panaderías, bakeries. In Mexico City there are still several. In the Centro Histórico you can find them easily. I love the Pastelería Ideal, with its extravagant and colorful cakes and jellies, and Pan Segura, where you can find a good selection of typical Mexican sweet breads—concha, ojo de buey, polvorón, cocol, vidrio."
