At first glance, you might take Medialunas Calentitas for just another pastry shop. Enter inside and you’ll be pleasantly surprised to find a cozy little café in the back, great for reading the paper or relaxing and watching the bakers at work in the open kitchen. As with many popular spots in Montevideo, this bakery builds its reputation on its artisanal methods, promising fresh ingredients and delivering only the highest quality pastries. The breakfast menu is the best part: you get an assortment of little sweet delights along with your soft and squishy medialunas (croissants), orange juice, and customary cortado. The chain, which has four locations in Montevideo, as well as branches in Buenos Aires, Punta del Este, and Asunción, also offers a full tea menu for $100 a person, or tea for two for $180. Mothers and socialites flock here to pick up cakes, masitas, quiche and alfajores to serve at parties. Weekends are busy, so come early or make a reservation for larger parties. Open for breakfast, lunch, and tea. Daily, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Great Medialunas Calentitas

Rating: 100%

Best Medialunas in town ('warm croissants' just in case). Simple, or with ham and cheese, plus cakes, coffee, etc. Found in many neighborhoods, all through Montevideo.
