Concha: The iconic Mexican sweet bread
The concha, one of Mexico’s famous pan dulces, is a traditional Mexican sweet bread roll with a round shape and a shell-like, sugary crust. The inside is soft and fluffy, making it a delightful treat for breakfast or as a snack. They come in various flavors, with vanilla and chocolate being the most popular.

A story of the concha
Conchas, a beloved Mexican sweet bread named after its seashell shape, have a rich history deeply rooted in Mexican culture. This iconic sweet treat dates to colonial Mexico, where bakers blended European baking techniques with native ingredients.
They are part of the pan dulce family (meaning: ‘sweet bread’), the name of a variety of Mexican pastries typically consumed at breakfast, in the afternoon, or at dinner.
What does concha taste like?
A concha has a delightful flavor that's a combination of a sweet, buttery, and slightly vanilla-infused bread with a crunchy, sugary topping. The bread itself is soft and fluffy, similar to a sweet roll or brioche, while the topping adds a satisfying contrast with its crisp texture and sweet taste. Depending on the variation, it can also carry additional flavors like chocolate, strawberry, or coffee.
