An international bakery in the heart of Condesa

In the heart of Mexico City's vibrant Condesa neighborhood, Banú Bakery is making waves with its innovative fusion of Iranian and French baking traditions. Founded by Iranian-born pastry chef Kiana Bahadorzadeh and her partner, New Orleans native Peter Ostroske, Banú is redefining the local pastry scene with a menu that bridges continents and cultures.

A Taste of Iran in Every Flaky Layer

At the forefront of Banú's offerings are two standout croissants that have quickly become favorites among locals and visitors alike. The pistachio with rose water croissant is a delicate balance of nutty richness and floral sweetness, featuring a buttery, flaky exterior enveloping a luscious pistachio cream infused with aromatic rose water. This pastry pays homage to classic Iranian flavors while embracing the French technique of croissant-making.

Equally captivating is the baklava croissant, a delightful twist on the traditional Middle Eastern dessert. Layers of golden, flaky pastry are filled with a spiced nut mixture and drizzled with a honey syrup, creating a harmonious blend of textures and flavors that evoke the essence of baklava in every bite.

The Tastemakers Behind Banú

Kiana Bahadorzadeh brings her deep-rooted Iranian heritage and passion for baking to Banú, infusing each creation with authenticity and creativity. Her partner, Peter Ostroske, hailing from New Orleans, complements the team with his rich cultural background and culinary insights. Together, they have cultivated a bakery that not only offers exceptional pastries but also tells a story of cross-cultural collaboration and innovation.

Looking Ahead: A Fusion of Flavors

As Banú continues to flourish, Kiana and Peter have exciting plans to expand their menu by incorporating flavors inspired by New Orleans cuisine in the latter half of 2025. This upcoming fusion promises to introduce patrons to a unique blend of Iranian and Southern American tastes, further establishing Banú as a beacon of culinary creativity in Mexico City's dynamic food landscape.

For those seeking a distinctive and delectable pastry experience, Banú Bakery offers a journey through flavor that transcends borders, all within the charming streets of Condesa.
