Learn About the Baker

baker-leiaMiss LEIA JACKSON BOWERS

This seemingly southern-bell, from Arkansas learned about La Manzanilla from Will’s Grandmother.  Her Gran, whom later hooked Will and Leia into running a vacation rental complex Brisa del Mar.  Although it was a fantastic place and situation, Leia wanted to follow her passion 😉 …BAKING

Leia decided to open up Pan Encantadoher bakery. Which did amazing business!  That is when I was introduced to her.  …And was I ever excited!

Then…. she and our mutual friend, Alex opened up Magnolia’s Restaurant  — a FANTASTIC SUCCESS!  However fantastic, Leia decided it was too much for her, so she decided to go back to baking.

She now has a shop, called Panaderia Leia, located just as you drive in on the main road heading to the square on the left.  Open most mornings until about 1pm or so.

But… the BEST thing is —she bakes for US😁 La Bruja.  …And, she is the baker behind many of the local coffee shops in the areas between here and La Manz.  We are very lucky and are fortunate, because she makes THE MOST AMAZING baked goods!

If you’ve swung by the shop last year, you would know…..  If you didn’t swing on in …shame on you, she makes the most comforting Cinnamon Rolls and Sticky Buns, perfect English Muffins, savory Sweet Breads, REAL home-made Pies, moist Muffins, delicious Cakes, and the sexiest Chocolate Desserts.

WE ALL THANK YOU -Leia!
