"La Sultana is a traditional Colombian bakery, though it makes all manner of Latino pastries and small bites. Amelia Sanchez, the owner of the 29-year-old bakery, is a pillar of the East Boston community. Sanchez gives back to her community by donating baked goods and ingredients, such as cassava, to schools and YMCAs, and helping the Latino community with making pastries such as flan, empanadas, pan de bono, and chicharrones for various communal and government-based events." - Marissa Cardenas
