Slice of Life in la CDMX: Soft Pretzels from De Encuentro (Del Valle)

De Encuentro is a place around the corner from us where we get our weekly loaf of fancy toastin' bread. It's located along the way between our condo and the grocery, so Judy passes it multple times each week. Usually it's busy with people on their laptops, chatting over coffee, hanging out with their dogs, etc. A solid little neighborhood cafe.
Most people seem to like it, including Daniela

Recently Judy noticed they had a new product offering: soft pretzels. Last week or maybe the week before we got one and I agreed it was indeed soft and tasty. Today we decided we were gonna get ourselves more pretzels. However, when we stepped up to the counter we saw a display case with zero pretzels.
Those dark loaves in the plastic bags are the fancy toastin' bread we get

They said they'd be coming later, so we asked if they could set a few aside for us and send us a whatsapp when they came in. De acuerdo.

I took a couple pics of the unusually empty little tables outside.
A little later they messaged us and we went to fetch the pretzels. 4 for $148 MXN.
The end.
