Even the plain pan has a little touch of sugar…it is delightful.

We are simpatico on this tradition.

Ah! Veracruz coffee… one of the fine treats we have had to do without for six months!

Christine – I did not know they add sugar in their bollo’s.

Babs – yes a fine tradition – morning pan.

Croft – When do you get back down here?

I agree with everything you’ve said about Mexican pastries, and coffee. Cuernos pan dulce with Veracruz coffee is a real treat. However, healthwise you would be better off with a whole grain bread….

Lucky you! We don’t have peso pan. The cheapest pan dulce costs between 2.50 and 3 pesos. Even the bolillo! I make my own doughnuts because they run about 12 pesos each at the only panaderia that makes them.

Peso pan sounds lovely. I like 60 cent baguettes from the local panaderia near my house. And our coffee is cheaper per lb. Usually around 1.50 per lb and the premium touristy stuff from 3 to 5 per lb.

When we are in the states, I usually go to a Mexican store to get Orejas and Conchas. What is a peso down here, is 75cents each. But I guess when you add, the rent, the insurance, health insurance, overhead, more taxes, health department permits, on and on, they have to sell it at that to make a living…..

Andres – We do buy some lovely whole grain bread at the Saturday Market in Coatepec.

Leslie – Wow12 pesos for a doughnut – is this a Krispy Kreme offering? I think doughnut are about 3.5 pesos at our local Chedraui.

Laurie – 60 pesos per kilo is an average price for good coffee bean – about $2 US a pound.

Ken – Viva Mexico!

We are soo lucky because we had a Mexican bread store open in our area recently. We were very happy and give them tons of business. But yeah, the price is MUCH more! about .65-.75 each.
