Tampa, FL- Bakeries are an important part of towns all over the United States. In the 1800s and early 1900s, many families came to the United States from places like Italy, Holland, and Germany. They found their way to the American Dream by starting these small, independent bakeries.
Today, bakers are praised for their original, old-fashioned look and their fresh cookies, cakes, and other baked goods.
There are a lot of new and old restaurants in Florida. But only one made Taste of Home’s list of the best in the country. Another old-fashioned restaurant that made it into this piece is the wonderful La Segunda in Ybor City. It’s thought to be one of the tastiest bakeries in the state.
La Segunda is one of the oldest bakeries in the country. It was started by a Spanish soldier who wanted to share the tasty Cuban bread he had found while stationed there in the early 1900s.
The bakery has been in the same family for four generations and is now an important part of the Tampa neighborhood.
From fresh soups and burgers to over 20 kinds of cookies, donuts, pies, turnovers, and freshly baked bread, the bakery has almost every baked good you can think of.
The story says that you should try the Media Noche bread, the tres leches cake, and the famous Cuban sandwich.
