From a farmers market table to seeing our story in Community Impact. 💛
Burén started with a simple idea: bringing a little piece of Puerto Rico to our community through the bread, flavors, and traditions we grew up with. 🇵🇷
Today, we’re proud to be the only Puerto Rican bakery in the Houston area and even prouder of the community that has grown around us.
Two years later, Burén has become more than we could have imagined because of every person who has walked through our doors, told a friend about us, came back the next weekend, and made Burén part of their own traditions.
Thank you, Community Impact, for sharing our story and capturing not only what we make, but why we make it.
We’re grateful for how far we’ve come and excited to keep growing together. 💛
Located in the heart of Old Town Spring, Burén Bakery was founded by Puerto Rican native Alexandra Astacio in June 2024 to celebrate Puerto Rican heritage with authentic baked goods and coffee imported straight from the island. 🇵🇷
After two years serving the Spring area, Astacio said the bakery is expanding with an additional location within the same shopping center. The new location will offer an indoor dining area where locals can continue making memories while enjoying authentic Puerto Rican pastries.
