Everything below is baked or pulled here at 221 1st Ave S. Boxes and trays are easier if you call ahead, especially on a weekend.
La panadería
The Argentine bakery counter
Never had Argentine baking before? Tap anything and we will tell you exactly what it is and how it eats. There are no wrong answers here.
The cookie every Argentine grew up on
Alfajores
An alfajor is two soft cookies with something pressed between them, almost always dulce de leche. It is a national obsession. If you only try one thing here, make it this.

Cordobés
$4.50Glazed on the outside, filled with dulce de leche or quince paste. This is the one from Córdoba, which is where our family is from.
Read moreMaicena
$4.50Made with cornstarch instead of wheat flour, which makes the cookie incredibly delicate and light. Dulce de leche in the middle, coconut around the edge.
Read more
Marplatense
$5.50The Mar del Plata style. Coated in a smooth white glaze with chocolate drizzled over the top.
Read more
Noir
$6.00Sealed completely in a smooth, even coat of dark chocolate so no part of the cookie is exposed.
Read moreChocolate Blanco
The same idea as the Noir but sealed in white chocolate instead of dark.
Read moreDubai
Pistachio cream in the middle instead of dulce de leche. The newest one on the shelf.
Read moreThe pastry counter, baked before we open
Facturas
Facturas are the sweet pastries at the front counter. The dough gets folded, buttered and rested the night before, then shaped one at a time and baked at dawn. That is where the layers come from, and it is why a tray that sells out stays empty until tomorrow.

Factura
$4.00Sweet yeast risen pastry with vanilla pastry cream inside.

Medialuna Rellena
$4.25The filled medialuna
Rellena just means filled. The same buttery medialuna, split open and loaded with crema pastelera before it goes out.
Read more
Medialuna de Manteca
$3.75Half moon, made with butter
Crescent shaped, soft and fluffy, made with butter and generously glazed. Smaller and sweeter than a croissant, and we would argue better. Have it plain, or ask for it split open and filled.
Read moreFull size tarts, sold whole
Tartas
Argentine tarts are shortcrust based and generous with the dulce de leche. They come whole, not by the slice. Order ahead if you need a specific one for a party.
