About Us
Sweet creations made fresh, with love, in the heart of Chicago.
Our Story
Every recipe has a story — ours began in 2011.
At Azúcar y Canela, we believe every treat tells a story, and ours began in 2011. What started as time spent baking together and building memories in the kitchen quickly became something more. Life took us in different directions, but we always found our way back to baking — it became the thread that tied everything together.
In recent years, we decided it was time to take our passion seriously. With unwavering family support, we started as a licensed cottage bakery, crafting every cake and pastry from our home kitchen. As our community grew, we outgrew our space and made the leap to open a bakery we could share with everyone.
Azúcar y Canela is built on family, perseverance, and the joy of sharing good food. Thank you for being part of our journey — we can't wait to make you something special!
