Don Panchos Bakery — Restaurant in Saint Paul

Have come here multiple times and love the bread. Wonderful bolios with great crunchy exterior but oh so soft interior. Hands down the best bolios I’ve had in MN. Tried their conchas and they are the softest I’ve ever had. I love that I can buy the minis - not all bakeries have this size available! Also had these rolls called novia and they're soft with sugary goodness. All in all, I can recommend the bread 10/10.

Try this bakery for sweet rolls of all kinds. Don’t let the humble exterior fool you. This is the real deal.

Will definitely be back here soon. Simple and strong coffee also available from a pot on the counter. Breakfast for two under $9...
