Panadería Rosetta

Known forrol de guayaba (guava roll)conchachocolate conchapan de muerto
Elena Reygadas's tiny Roma Norte bakery, famous for guava-and-ricotta rolls and arguably the city's best concha. Open early to late daily at Colima 179. The pastries deserve the hype; the line and the near-total lack of seating are the honest catch — most people take theirs to a nearby park.

Frequently asked questions
- Does Panadería Rosetta have seating?
- Barely — a few stools at the Colima location, and they go fast. Treat it as takeaway: locals grab a box and walk to Plaza Río de Janeiro or eat standing on the sidewalk. Don't plan a sit-down breakfast here.
- Is Panadería Rosetta the same as Rosetta restaurant?
- Same chef, Elena Reygadas (named the world's best female chef in 2023), different experiences. Rosetta the restaurant, across the street at Colima 166, is a fine-dining tasting-menu affair requiring reservations. The panadería is the casual, affordable way into her cooking.
- How much do pastries cost at Panadería Rosetta?
- Individual pastries generally run about 40-90 pesos, so two people can eat very well with coffee for under 300 pesos. For pastries of this caliber, it's one of the better deals in Roma.
- Is Panadería Rosetta worth it if I only have one breakfast in Roma?
- If you want a sit-down breakfast, no — go to a café and swing by Rosetta after for pastries to go. If you're happy eating a warm guava roll on a park bench, absolutely yes. It's one of the city's genuinely great cheap pleasures.
- What time does Panadería Rosetta open?
- 7am Monday through Saturday and 7:30am on Sunday, staying open until around 10pm most nights. Early morning is your best shot at the full pastry selection before popular items sell out.
- How long is the line at Panadería Rosetta?
- Weekday mornings it moves in five to ten minutes. Weekend mid-mornings can stretch to twenty or thirty. It moves faster than it looks because most orders are takeaway.
- Are there other Panadería Rosetta locations?
- Yes, there's a second branch on Havre street in Juárez, which is usually less mobbed. The Colima original in Roma Norte remains the one with the atmosphere — and the line.
- What should I order at Panadería Rosetta?
- The rol de guayaba (guava and ricotta roll) is the icon and worth planning around. The concha, cardamom roll, and hojaldre pastries are all excellent too. Grab a coffee and take everything to Plaza Río de Janeiro, a short walk away.
