Let me just say, I was on a trek to find authentic Mexican bread or "Pan Dulce" for my entire trip to the Yakima and Columbia Valley. Having grown up in California, I remember walking in to the bakery with my parents only to be greeted by the sweet aroma of fresh baked bread. I would always choose my favorite piece and watch it closely in the bag all the way home. In an attempt to find some authentic bread, we were headed to a chain store that would surely sell less than suitable bread to spark memories. By chance we found La Petunia. We were greeted by Don Rosas and quickly and eagerly I went on a rampage picking out my own bread. As a side note, it is quite common for there to be a butcher shop within a small bodega store, as was the case here. We din't buy meat so I will ignore it. Regardless. With the ovens that cook the bread in the background still whirring and having chosen and tasted some churros and a small piece of bread here and there we were off. The bread is the freshest and closest thing to my childhood market bread that I have ever tasted in Washington State and in California. 10/10 would highly recommend and will even consider driving all the way to Yakima just for this bread. As a side note, the taco truck outside is equally delicious! read more
