Torres Family Bakery: Keeping Culture Alive, One Pastry at a Time

Partners like M&T Bank make it possible for ASSETS to support small businesses like Torres Family Bakery.
Jose Rivera didn’t start a bakery just to sell bread and pastries. He started it to carry on a family tradition, and to create something meaningful for his community.
Torres Family Bakery is all about sharing the delicious Puerto Rican baked goods Jose grew up with. Every item on the menu is made with care, inspired by heritage, and family. For Jose, it’s more than just baking, it’s about keeping culture alive and building a business that gives back.
Baking with Purpose
Running a business isn’t easy, especially when you’re trying to grow and stay true to your roots. With support from ASSETS, Jose has been able to strengthen his financial footing, having recently received a grant to help cover things like inventory and utility bills, giving him space to focus on what matters most: making high-quality products and serving his customers well.

A Place for Everyone
Whether you’re stopping in for a treat or ordering for a special event, Torres Family Bakery wants you to feel at home. Jose is working on creating a more inviting in-store atmosphere, one that reflects the warmth and care that goes into every recipe.
What’s Next
Looking ahead, Jose is focused on three things: continuing to serve great food, offering excellent customer service, and creating a space where people feel welcome.
