The background
Abuelita’s Bakery Spot began as a cottage baking venture in December 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic. In September of 2021, the at-home bakery opened a food truck before moving into its current brick-and-mortar space at the Kyle Windmill Center in June 2022.
Part of the bakery’s branding is “valley style,” because the owners are originally from Edinburg, located in the Rio Grande Valley region, and wanted to bring “valley style” of freshly made pastries to Kyle.
“When we moved over here, we were like, let’s bring that style of what we grew up on in the valley and bring it here and show people the bread that we grew up on and how it should taste,” Vanessa Rodriguez said.
Vanessa Rodriguez said they appreciated the support people have given to them.
“We hope that when people come in, they come in with an open mind that it is not a traditional Hispanic bakery where it’s an open case,” she said.
The details
The bakery specializes in fresh mini-pastries, such as mini-conchas, mini-empanadas, mini-bunuelos and mini-marranitos.
“The minis have really brought a good change to people’s perspective on traditional Mexican pastries,” Vanessa Rodriguez said.
Aside from its pastries, Abuelita’s Bakery Spot also sells hot and iced coffee, frappes and breakfast tacos.
Abuelita’s Bakery Spot offers catering for weddings, meetings, birthday parties and quinceaneras and now offers shipping services throughout the United States.
What’s special about it?
Abuelita’s Bakery Spot is known for its weekly “drops,” which incorporate different designs and themes into the conchas, such as Hello Kitty, Barbie, Spider-Man, and breast cancer awareness.
Stay tuned
Abuelita’s Bakery will be expanding to a second location in the surrounding area in 2024, according to Vanessa Rodriguez.
