this sounds like spam, but knowing all these bakeries I have to give props to Frank's Bakery on 30th ave and 36th street. More of an italian style bakery, walking past the open door at 3am will take you to another planet. delicious ciabatta and cookies and morning cinnamon rolls, spanakopita, yum. found corona to be ok, but maybe i need to rethink it. the idea of a "mexican bakery" is initially confusing, but perhaps rewarding? i think the real gold star goes to astoria for having so many great small bakeries.

@CD: Ditmars Blvd. is basically 22nd Ave, so it's more than 5 or 6 blocks from 31st Ave. It's two subway stops away on the N/W.

What makes the pan dulce so technicolor pink? Is it food coloring? I don't think it's necessarily "living in the past" to miss stuff. Think of Proust and his madelienes . . . Of course if you "miss" something that moved 5 blocks away, you're really just a bit lazy.

Keep up the good work. It is refreshing to read about these out of the way places serving out of the ordinary food.

I'm pretty sure Martha's country bakery is now on Ditmars around 35 or 36th street.

The name of the bakery is the same as the beer, right down to the typeface. That nonwithstanding, the bakery is really good! Although I miss the more conveniently located (for me!) Martha's. Of course, Corona Bakery is one of the few places in Astoria WITH power right now. I, unfortunately, remain one of ConNEd's victims. My poor dog.

You are aware that there is a Corona, Queens right? Maybe the owners are from there? I don't even know what this means: The name – Corona – seemed out of place in proud Astoria.

Is there anywhere in Manhattan that sells great pan dulce?
