Medialunas Calentitas, the chain that bills itself as "the originals from Punta del Este", has an outlet on the road into José Ignacio, at km 183.5 of Route 10. By the chain's own account it is one of its three stops on the eastern coast, alongside La Barra and Solanas.

It sells what the name says: medialunas, the crescent pastries Uruguayans eat for breakfast, fresh from the oven, made with lard or butter, with coffee for the road or by the dozen to take away. The portal does not publish hours or prices: ask through the contact on this listing.
