Est. Plainfield, New Jersey
Three generations of bakers. One unwavering commitment to craft. At La Union Bakery, every crust, every crumb, every morning's first bake carries the weight of tradition and the warmth of home.
Our Heritage
La Union Bakery was born from a simple conviction: that the best bread is made slowly, with intention, and with hands that know the difference between good enough and unforgettable.
Our recipes have been passed down through three generations — not written in notebooks, but held in muscle memory and tested through decades of early mornings. Every sourdough loaf, every empanada, every pastel de leche treats carries that same heritage to your table.

Our Offerings
Every item on our menu is crafted by hand, each morning, using the same techniques and ingredients our founders trusted decades ago.
Sourdough, ciabatta, bolillo, and specialty loaves — all leavened naturally and baked to a perfect crust, every single day.
Hand-folded empanadas filled with seasoned beef, chicken, cheese, or spinach — crispy, savory, and made fresh throughout the day.
Desde pasteles de leche until flaky tres leches cakes — our pastry case holds the desserts our community has cherished for years.
Rich café colado, smooth lattes, and freshly brewed coffee — the perfect companion to any of our baked goods.
Start your morning the way it should be — with fresh panadería, hot breakfast plates, and the warmth of a neighborhood café.
From birthdays to quinceañeras — we craft celebration cakes to order, with flavors and designs that make your moment special.
Our menu changes with the seasons and what's freshest. Stop in and discover today's specials.
