I like to think I’ve single-handedly kept lasagna on the breakfast menu at the original Panadería Rosetta, a beloved spot that is well-deservedly crowded. But if you’d like a calmer experience, head to Elena Reygadas’s Bella Aurora just a few blocks away. There, you can order the same menu of pastries without the scrum, and have breakfast tea, pan dulces, guava rolls, and fig leaf berlinesas [a local jelly-filled pastry] at a table in a leafy solarium. —Su Wu
