El Bolillo is a Mexican panadería where you grab a tray and tongs and shop the shelves yourself, which is how a quick errand turns into a dozen pastries. The conchas show up in unicorn colors, the bolillos are the namesake, and the tres leches cakes keep the birthday-party crowd loyal. It's cheap, it's fast, and the line moves with the confidence of people who've done this since long before you arrived.
