A Rare Look Inside La Monarca’s Factory, LA’s Busiest Mexican Bakery | Eater LA
"Opened in 1949 in East Los Angeles, this longtime bakery has baked multi-tiered quinceañera cakes, pan dulces, and fresh bolillos for generations. It functions as a cherished community gathering place for Mexican Angelenos, where the ritual of piling pan dulce high atop aluminum trays with metal tongs and eating the baked goods for breakfast—often dunked in coffee—'often transports immigrants back to their pueblo.'" - Bill Esparza
