A round Mexican sweet bread with a crunchy sugar shell on top that looks like a seashell. The concha is probably the most iconic and beloved pan dulce in Mexico, found in every bakery across the country. It comes in vanilla (white topping) or chocolate (brown topping) and is perfect for dunking into coffee or hot chocolate. Mexicans grow up eating conchas for breakfast or as a late night snack, and it is practically a national treasure.
