In Yucatán, the purchase of something sweet is synonymous with a reunion, a visit to Grandma, or spending the afternoon with friends. After a rainy day, or to enjoy at breakfast with coffee, baked goods take us home and bring us together with family or friends. Mérida’s bakeries are places where you can get the best goodies, perfect for sharing. Here are a few of the places you should investigate.
Panadería Escargot
Entering the front door, you’ll immediately feel the French-style atmosphere. The recipes are a mixture of two cultures (Mexican and French), just like the traditional croissant and the delicious “pain au chocolat”. They use butter in their recipes and have a unique style to their baking; with a Mexican Maya team working with the heart. Don’t forget to try this amazing mix of flavors, also available in their Itzimná store. In Santiago, Escargot Rústico offers baked goods, coffee, and breakfast.
