San Martin Bakery and Restaurant

The Vibe

You've picked a good one with San Martin. It's a Guatemalan bakery and restaurant, and it really shines for breakfast and brunch, though you can certainly grab pastries all day. Expect a bustling, but not overwhelming, atmosphere inside, with a beautiful display of pan dulce and traditional Guatemalan breads like *champurradas* and *semitas* right as you walk in. If the weather's nice, try to snag one of their tables on the patio – it's a lovely spot to enjoy a coffee and a *shuko*, their loaded hot dog. The prices are a bit higher than your average bakery, but the quality and unique flavors make it worth it. Weekends get busy, especially for brunch, so aim for an earlier arrival if you want to avoid a wait, or just be prepared to browse the bakery case while you do.
