The City of Menifee is thrilled to announce “Anguiano’s Bakery” as the City’s November Business Spotlight, a program that is a part of the Economic Development Department’s B3 (Building Better Businesses) program.
Anguiano's Bakery is a family-owned business that opened in 2020, specializing in hand-crafting delectable Mexican Pan Dulce. Adrian Anguiano, along with his mother Maria Magdalena who is the mastermind behind the scrumptious pastries, manages the bakery. The term "Pan Dulce" translates to "sweet bread" and encompasses a variety of Mexican pastries. The bakery offers an array of sweet and savory options, including seasonal pastries, sweet empanadas, and breads. One of the most popular varieties are Conchas, a Mexican sweet bread with a crisp and delightful topping. This colorful bread is scored on top to create intricate patterns similar to seashells. It's a customary breakfast dish, paired with a cup of coffee, hot chocolate, or milk.
Seeking guidance from mentors, Magdalena and Anguiano learned the craft of creating Pan Dulce. Typically, Magdalena’s day begins at 2 a.m., when she and her sister create the delicacies from scratch. Anguiano, on the other hand, begins his day around 4 a.m., assisting in the bakery’s preparation to open. Anguiano said, “While the days are long and it’s hard work, it’s rewarding seeing these dreams come into fruition.” Since opening, Anguiano’s Bakery has been a resounding success and the bakery has experienced consistent sellouts daily, particularly on weekends.
Anguiano's Bakery prioritizes quality over quantity in its business model, utilizing only the freshest and most authentic ingredients in its products. Their commitment to maintaining the utmost quality in their offerings has led customers to inquire about their secrets, as they stand out from larger corporate bakeries that fail to deliver the same level of authenticity. Since making Menifee their home, Anguiano feels a sense of belonging with the community's diverse cultures, heritage, and family traditions. They express gratitude for the opportunity to serve the community, which has warmly embraced their bakery.
“Anguiano's Bakery serves as a unifying force for the diversity in Menifee’s business community,” said Mayor Pro Tem Bob Karwin. “They actively participate in cultural events held within the city and consistently seek means to give back in Menifee. It is with pride we are excited to recognize Anguiano’s Baker as this month’s spotlight!”
