Pan de
Trensa.

$7.50 por trenza · 12 oz · daily 6 AM

Una trenza de masa dulce, doblada a mano cada madrugada. Por dentro: queso campesino y bocadillo de guayaba. Doramos despacio hasta que el azúcar del bocadillo se carameliza en los pliegues.

A hand-braided sweet dough, folded before sunrise. Inside: salty white cheese and guava paste. We bake it slow so the guava caramelizes into every fold of the braid.

Daily ~32 trenzas pulled from the oven at 6 AM. Most days, the last one walks out before 12.
From Cali, Valle del Cauca · adapted for a Bushwick oven and a family recipe four generations deep.

¿Qué es esto? A small dictionary for the curious.

Our menu reads half in Spanish, half in a vocabulary most of Bushwick is still learning. So here it is, before you order — the things behind the names.

Bocadillo
[ bo·ka·DEE·yo ] Guava paste, dense and ruby-red. Sweet-tart. Cut in small blocks. Lives inside the trenza, on top of the cheese, beside the coffee.
Trenza
[ TREN·sa ] Spanish for "braid." Sweet bread folded into a three-strand plait, baked until the surface turns a deep, blistered amber.
Almojábana
[ al·mo·HA·ba·na ] Soft cheese bread, leavened slightly, more bread than cake. Eaten with hot chocolate at breakfast in Colombia.
Ají picante
[ a·HEE pi·KAN·te ] A Colombian salsa: cilantro, scallion, vinegar, lime, a single chili. Light, sharp, not American hot-sauce hot.
Tinto
[ TEEN·to ] Colombian small black coffee. Sweetened with panela (raw cane sugar) by default — say "sin azúcar" for unsweetened.
Cali
[ KA·lee ] Santiago de Cali. A city in southwest Colombia where this bakery's recipes were first folded, four generations ago.

Mañanas de Bushwick.

Abrimos a las seis. La cola se forma antes de las siete — el guardia del turno de noche, las enfermeras que vuelven, las familias del bloque. La trenza sale del horno. La trenza desaparece.

We open at six. The line forms before seven — the overnight security walking home, nurses off-shift, families from the block. The trenza comes out of the oven. The trenza disappears.
