The Story of Latin Flavors
The story of Latin Flavors began a long time ago, in 1921, in Cuba. A man named Valentin Garcia and his brothers started their very first bakery there. Their bakery grew bigger and bigger over the years.
In 1956, they opened a brand new building and changed the bakery's name to La Gran Via. It became known as the best bakery in Havana, Cuba. However, in 1960, due to political changes in Cuba, the family had to leave their business behind.
