1. In the early morning fog of San Francisco, when most bakeries were still closed, a delivery driver pulled up to La Abundancia. The door creaked open on its own, and a warm voice called out, ‘Welcome, friend.’ Inside, an old cat dozed on the counter, blinking sleepily as if it had been there forever. The delivery driver smiled and left his bag, muttering, 'Just another day at La Abundancia.' As he walked away, someone from behind the counter whispered, 'And don’t forget to come back tomorrow, friend!'

2. At dawn in New Orleans, as tourists slept off their Mardi Gras revelry, a strange humming noise filled the air near La Abundancia bakery.

A delivery driver joked that maybe La Abundancia had magical bread that attracted felines.

As he unloaded crates of pastries, something unusual caught his eye—a small wooden box wrapped in twine, sitting among the empty boxes and bags. Curious, he opened it to find only a single glazed donut inside. Smiling, he thought, ‘Someone’s being awfully kind tonight.’ He took a bite, sighed contentedly, and drove off into the night—leaving behind him a note on the bakery door: “Next time, bring two.”
