"Co-owned by Alex Henderson and Maricsa Trejo, this bakery offers an Anti-Valentine’s Day dinner with a dessert-focused tasting menu. The couple has a history of meaningful trips and moments shared, including a proposal in New Orleans." - Didi Paterno
"Don’t just reheat store rolls — get all your Thanksgiving breads fresh from La Casita. It’s got orders open for dinner rolls, baguettes, cinnamon raison loaves, multigrain loaves, sourdough loaves, and white bread loaves. It’s also got desserts covered with brown butter and apple pie, pecan pie, and pumpkin pie, plus loads of holiday pastries for breakfast. We’re loving the look of the pumpkin-shaped sourdough with traditional stuffing spice. Order online, and pre-orders close on November 23. Pickup is November 27." - Courtney E. Smith
"The team at this James Beard-recognized bakery are know for being big Halloween people. The baked goods here during spooky season are incredible, under the leadership of head pastry chef Maricsa Trejo. Look for murder cruffins, witches fingers, and the Oogie Boogie — brown butter chocolate chip cookie butter, hazelnut praline, dark chocolate ganache, chocolate tart shell, Oreo crumb, and a green oogie boogie meringue." - Courtney E. Smith
