Austrian bakery Franzi expands in Mexico's State of Mexico

A unique Austrian bakery, Franzi, Panes y Pasteles, is drawing attention for its authentic Austrian breads in Mexico's State of Mexico, a region not typically associated with such European culinary offerings. The bakery, established by Austrian baker Franzi, has seen significant success since its opening.

Franzi announced on Instagram on August 8, 2026, the upcoming opening of a second branch. This expansion will increase Franzi's presence, though specific details about the new location and opening date are yet to be revealed. The bakery's offerings include traditional Austrian items like apricot jam-filled "Berlinesas," cinnamon or coconut "Roles," and apple strudel.

Beyond pastries, Franzi also serves keto bread made with almond and chia flour, cookies with flavors such as apple-cinnamon and oatmeal with white chocolate, and a walnut and hazelnut "Hojaldre" with rum glaze. They also offer sourdough breads and sandwiches. The availability of items can vary, so customers are advised to check Franzi's Instagram for updates.

Despite its specialized European offerings, Franzi maintains prices similar to those of local Mexican bakeries, with most items ranging between $30.00 and $60.00. The bakery is located at Av. Pantitlán 270, colonia Las Fuentes, in Ciudad Nezahualcóyotl, State of Mexico, and operates from Tuesday to Saturday, 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM. Due to its popularity, items often sell out before closing.
