You’ll find all sorts of new and exciting pastry items to sample here.

Like the Rocsa de Reyes.

Lilibeth Serrano/Google This special oval-shaped bread is used to celebrate Ephiphany (January 6). Traditional cakes include a number of Baby Jesus figures within the bread. It’s a tradition in Mexico for only those who find a Baby Jesus figurine in their piece of cake to throw another gathering for everyone else (who didn’t find one) a few weeks later on Candlemas Day (February 2).

It’s worthy to note that the bakery is also part Mexican market.
