It was a blistering Saturday morning over on Piedras, and there I sat comfortably in the cool air, surrounded by friends and the smells of fresh pastries from Azucar Morena.
A little bakery with the word “Bakery” sitting in bold red letters, waiting to let people know she is there. If you haven’t already heard of this budding new bakery from some of their viral social media videos or local magazine articles, please allow me to introduce you to a welcoming and wonderful place in Central El Paso called Azucar Morena Bakery.
I live fairly close to Azucar Morena, so I was actually surprised that I had never seen it! I was even at Kiki’s Mexican Restaurant recently, which just so happens to be right across the street from this bakery, and I STILL didn’t see it! In a sense though, I am kinda stoked I didn’t see it, because my first time inside wound up being a better impression than any random visit ever could have been. Saturday I found myself in Azucar Morena because the owner, Naomi, had opened the space to a songwriting workshop for local musicians! I showed up early and joined a homie inside this wonderful little space…
