Picture this: Sunday rolls around, birds are chirping, sun is streaking through the blinds, the barbacoa is fresh, the guacamole is on the table, your glass is filled with Big Red. Missing something? Of course — pan dulce.

You can’t have the San Antonio Sunday breakfast without sweet bread, so we’re here to help with a roundup of six local panaderías.

My family has been coming to this spot since I was a child and it fills me with nostalgia and sweets. From conchas (the yellow sugar one is the best and I will die on that hill) to tortugas and pink cakes, this is your one-stop shop for all things sweet bread. The bakery also makes tortillas in house.
