Visited this morning based on the urge to find a good local bakery for baked treats. First - it smells amazing when you walk in. Second- this is way more than a bakery but a grocery store as well with authentic Spanish cuisine and products. I don’t speak Spanish but the woman to help me called a coworker who speaks English to help me. Everyone was very kind and helpful and I chose a handful of bakery items though it was tough to choose because they all looked amazing. The best part for me is I chose a couple items for which I had no clue what to expect taste/flavor wise but they are amazing! It’s like a beautiful surprise. I’ve also found my nudge to learn some Spanish so I can come back again and engage in more conversation with these amazing people.
