La Monarca Bakery, Pan Dulce y Que!
La Monarca Bakery x Boyle Heights
La Monarca Bakery now sits perfectly
in the Historic Boyle Hotel Cummings
building in Boyle Heights!
Boyle Heights was once a Jewish,
Italian & Japanese American
Community! It's known now as the
Heart of East L.A. & for its strong,
Mexican community. You'll find
amazing views of L.A.'s Skyline &
the infamous Mariachi Plaza!
La Monarca Bakery brings out the
sweetness that you can only find
on the Eastside! No matter how many
times I've been to Boyle Heights, I feel
like I'm home!
La Monarca Bakery & Cafe couldn't
have picked a better location than
Boyle Heights! Their right on the corner
Of 1st Street & Boyle Avenue!
The sweet delicious smell of Pan Dulce
& coffee great you at the door!
There's nothing like Mexican bread!
Makes you want to order everything!
I brought my friend, Darlene Tenes of
CasaQ, who I like to call the "Latina
Martha Stewart" from San Jose!
She has a sweet spot for Pan Dulce!
Can you blame her?
Besides the delicious pan dulce,
food, cakes, coffee etc. Boyle Heights
has strong Community ties! I ran into
Leah Rose, from Las Cafeteras &
her Co-Founder Laura from People's
Yoga! They recently opened the first
Yoga Space Ever in East L.A.!!
As I decided to give Darlene a Tour, I
forgot to mention to her you can't get
very far in Boyle Heights, without
Running into a Mariachi!
I Chola'd this Mariachi into taking
a picture! Next time I'm gonna ask
him to take a Selfie!:)
Besides the Mariachi's you'll see a
beautiful Statue of Lucha Reyes,
known for her influence on Mariachi
Music!
Next on our Mini Tour, I say
Mini because it's literally
across the street:)! Darlene being
The "Latina Martha Stewart" notices a
Mexican restaurant that has been
named after Mariachi's Musicians
Patron Saint, Santa Cecilia. If you
didn't know, now you know!
Mural of the Virgen de Guadalupe!
It's a symbol to respect the business
space & any community person can
tell you no one messes with the
Lady!
Mariachi Plaza is a sacred space!
La Monarca Bakery brings a sweetness
but the Boyle Heights Murals remind
you of the strong Mexican community
that lives within these streets!
Boyle Heights is a Gem! Whether you
live, run with the Boyle Heights
Bridge Runners like me or are visiting
don't forget to respect the space &
get your Pan Dulce y Cafe Oaxaca on!!!
Que Viva Mariachi Plaza!
Xoxo,
Chicana in the City
