"Manolo’s Latin Bakery is a 26-year-old shopping plaza gem down Central Ave, led by baker, activist, entrepreneur, and immigrant Manolo Betancur. A pride for community and cultural identity is readily felt upon entering the bakery, which hosts Colombian and Mexican breads, chicken and beef empanadas, and importantly, eleven variations of tres leches. Betancur’s pastries and breads aren’t so much about showcasing something new or flashy, but instead letting the simple and familiar speak for themselves. The soft pan de muerto, the custard-filled fried bolas, and the sugar-dusted churros baked fresh throughout the day are displayed in the bakery’s center case in a tempting heap." - Kayleigh Ruller
