La Colmena Panaderia — Restaurant in San Miguel de Allende

This really is a great bakery. Lots of locals which is always a good sign. I literally went every day for Six days straight. Grab a tray and some tongs and load er up. The empanadas are particularly good. They seem to run out so go earlier in the morning for the best selection. Everything else I tried was quite good also (I didn’t try the bread though - looked pretty standard). I kept hoping for the Mexican brownies but they never seemed to have them. I guess they sell out pretty quickly when they put a batch out. Very reasonable prices. Don’t be put off by the atmosphere - a few bees never killed anyone (unless you are allergic I suppose) I’ve seen worse at many Tim Hortons....

Delicious as always, we used to spent many new year's in San Miguel and couldn't remember the name, the tourist office knew right away! They stand with their quality. Everything is so cheap and super delicious, it doesn't matter what you buy, you can't go wrong. Also their hours might be different, they are open on Saturday with normal schedule (with a 2 hour break in the middle, from 12-2 I think it is) and Sunday...

I'm a pan dulce lover. I can always tell when the bread is fresh and when it's old. I was super excited to try this place since I was visiting all the way from Texas and a TikTok account made this place sound amazing. The bread is dry and covered in bees. The lady that seems to be the manager is super rude. Not pleasant/not welcoming at all. This place is not anything to be excited...
