Sweets, Sweets, & More Sweets!

I admit it, I have a real weakness for Mexican pastries! After a long day of sightseeing and trekking around the city, I like nothing better than to sit in a cafe, order a cup of coffee, and indulge in a sweet treat. It's the perfect way to end a perfect day in DF (or anywhere else).

As you can see from the price tags, even the fanciest of deserts is hardly more than $1.50 US. Some of my favorites are even less expensive! Best of all, as you can see from these photos, the selection is tremendous. And, day after day, the selection remains great! The biggest issue is deciding which treat best suites your mood on a particular visit. Although there are many choices in pastry shops or patisserias, my favorite tends to be L'Ideal with many locations around the city.

Many people worry about traveling around Mexico. I happen to love the Mexican bus system. It's efficient, safe, relatively inexpensive, and buses go everywhere in the country. Check out this article about busing around Mexico.

The Small Pleasures of Life Are Often The Sweetest

I believe that my brother Bob's favorite stop in Mexico City was the pastry shop (yes, mine too!). After several visits to the city, I've located some of the best sweets the city has to offer. From the fancy to the plain, nearly every taste and inclination can be easily satisfied.

How Can Anyone Just Pick One?

Of course we all have our favorites, if you see Bob, ask him about his daily affair with the famous "cinnamon log". Since I bought one to photograph, I guess it's my responsibility to make sure it doesn't go to waste.

Bob's Favorite, the Cinnamon Log! It Really Is Pretty Tasty
 

Goodie after goodie, it's sometimes hard to make a decision.
