Pastelería Ideal

Centro Histórico · Old-school bakery · $

This is how pan dulce is meant to be bought — tray, tongs, no romance, dirt cheap. I fill a bag here every time I'm downtown.

A cavernous 1920s bakery where you grab a tray and tongs and load up on pan dulce by the piece. Upstairs, wedding cakes the size of furniture.
