La Panaderia La Espiga in Raleigh, NC

Picture

I’ve been to some great bakeries during my time on En La Cocina.Deleon’s Mexican Bakery in Spokane, Washington has some of the sweetest treats in the Northwest. Owner Sergio Deleon prides himself on having the freshest pastries in Eastern Washington. The Salvadorean Bakery is a testament to the American Dream. Ana Castro has built a great following with an amazing work ethic and great food to match. But in Raleigh North Carolina there is a Mexican Bakery tucked away in a little strip mall in a predominately Hispanic neighborhood called La Panaderia La Espiga. It features everything Mexicana and more. I just happened to be in the strip mall off New Hope Road and Atlantic when the fresh smell filled the air and my nose took me right inside. I shot some video and a few pictures. If you’re ever in Southeast Raleigh check it out. Raleigh is the fastest growing area to Hispanics in the nation!
