Our History
A bakery that outlasted every trend in Cincinnati
La Antigua opened its doors on East Kemper Road when Cincinnati's Cuban community was finding its footing — and we were part of that foundation. Not a restaurant. Not a café concept. A bakery, plain and honest, where the smell of pan de agua hits you before you cross the threshold.
Three generations later, the ovens still fire at 4 a.m., the recipes are still the same handwritten cards in the back office, and the regulars still know exactly what they want before they step inside. That's not marketing. That's habit — the good kind.
