What is a Concha?
A concha is a type of Mexican pan dulce, or sweet bread, that is instantly recognizable thanks to its signature sugar topping, which resembles a seashell (hence the name “concha”). The bread itself is a lightly sweetened, enriched dough similar to brioche, while the topping provides a satisfying crunch and added flavor.
Unlike many bakeries that only offer standard vanilla and chocolate conchas, La Panadería continuously introduces unique, seasonal flavors and creative hybrids that make La Panadería a destination for concha lovers.

How to Enjoy Conchas at La Panadería
If you want to experience a concha the right way, here are some perfect pairings to try on your next visit:
- For a traditional morning treat, enjoy a Vanilla or Chocolate Concha with Café de Olla, a spiced Mexican coffee brewed with cinnamon and piloncillo.
- For a rich, chocolatey indulgence, try a Velvet Concha with a Mexican Hot Chocolate, a creamy, spiced drink made with traditional Mexican chocolate.
If you love a warm, freshly baked concha, consider lightly toasting it and spreading a bit of butter on top for an extra comforting experience.
