James Beard-nominated La Panadería, located in San Antonio, Texas, has just reached a major milestone – selling its 2 millionth concha. The bakery-café is most known for its conchas, both the traditional and the unique creations. Its latest artisanal creation gaining attention is the Dubai Chocolate Concha.
La Panadería has built a cult following by elevating the humble concha into a canvas for creativity. The Dubai Chocolate Concha continues that legacy with a show-stopping green and brown shell, inspired by the distinctive colors of the Dubai chocolate bar. It’s as stunning as it is flavorful — the green half bursts with rich, creamy vanilla, while the brown side offers deep, satisfying chocolate notes.
Inside, the experience gets even more indulgent. A luscious pistachio ganache blended with real pistachio bits and smooth Nutella provides an unexpectedly luxurious twist on the traditional pastry.
La Panadería’s unique conchas are part of a larger mission to honor tradition while pushing boundaries in the world of pan dulce. The next flavor, the Ferrero Rocher Concha, launches Monday, May 5.
