Mexico has a love for pastry shops, and the Ideal bakery is one of the best. Set in a beautiful old building, a visit here let's you admire some great colonial architecture while indulging your sweet tooth. This place is pretty much always busy, so the rotation on the product is fantastic - when we were in ther last, the poor guy working in the shop could barely put down a tray of "besos" before it was cleaned out. We usually go for a nice selection of pastries, but Ideal has great rolls and breads and can handle anything all the way up to elaborately themed wedding cakes. Even if you are just there for some pastries, give yourself some time - the selection is colossal, and if you see an empty spot, it probably belongs to something really good and will get replenished in a few minutes. And don't forget to admire the room and balance those calories with a little culture. Happy hunting!
