Our Pan de Mu**to is back for a limited time. Come in and learn about this amazing tradition with us and enjoy.
For those who celebrate The Day of The Dead/Día de los Mu**tos, it is a time for us to remember those who have departed.
Traditionally, the Pan de Mu**to is placed onto ofrendas as a welcome for when we are visited by our loved ones.
It is a beautiful season and a delicious sweet bread.
Made with love always 🧡
