We Are Pancito
Pancito is an Artisanal Mexican pop-up bakery brought to you by Ana Rodriguez.
Ana grew up enjoying all sorts of sweet bread from a small, hole-in-the-wall, neighborhood bakery. One of her favorite memories is waking up early to get conchas before the bakery ran out of them and enjoying them straight out of the oven.
After college, she decided to use her Culinary Arts degree to see the world. She started doing fine dinning in Maine, traveled around the world while working with Oceania Cruises, to finally make it to Philly to work with Starr Restaurants, Philadelphia quickly became her home away from home. However, the traditional neighborhood bakeries she was so used to were not easy to find, and that joy was hard to relive. That is when the idea came— why not make our own bread, and share it in our neighborhood?
​
And so, Pancito was born.
