LA BRIOCHE DE PLAYA
Read moreA little piece of France in this artisanal bakery located in the heart of Quinta Avenida de Playa. Fresh and homemade products as we like them. It's a good place to have a French breakfast, with combos including fruit juice, bread and a crispy croissant or the house specialty, the brioche. You are served quickly, with a smile. Many pastries, pains au chocolat, quiches, croque-monsieur and various sandwiches are available. A good address to treat yourself in this busy street.

BELLEVILLE
Read moreBelleville is the new French bakery and pastry shop in Playa del Carmen. It offers French pastries, breakfasts, sandwiches, coffee and juices. It is certainly more out of the tourist area than others, but it offers quality products and lower prices. The bread is natural sourdough with a long period of growth and fermentation, which makes all the difference. Go there with your eyes closed to buy bread and pastries or to eat in the cafeteria.
