About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. Every morning around sunrise, a delivery driver noticed an unusual sound coming from Puerto Rico Market & Bakery. It was like someone humming softly in Spanish, but no one seemed to be there. One day, curious about the mysterious singing, the delivery driver peeked inside and saw only empty shelves. But then he heard the voice again—coming from the old cash register drawer! Turns out, it was just an old tape of tropical music playing since the bakery opened years ago. From that moment on, everyone called the place ‘El Marketo con la Grabación.’
2. A neighborhood baker, working late one night, heard something strange behind the counter. Each time he turned around, he saw a shadowy figure rolling past loaves of freshly baked bread. Finally, the baker summoned his courage and followed the shadow. It led him to an old, dusty corner where a delivery driver was dozing off after finishing his shift. The baker laughed it off, realizing that the mysterious figure was just a stray cat who loved the scent of fresh bread. From then on, whenever anyone asked about the ‘ghost,’ the baker would wink and say, 'Just our feline friend with a sweet tooth.'
3. A regular customer at Puerto Rico Market & Bakery kept noticing something peculiar every morning after closing. ‘Who’s been sneaking past the back door?’ he asked aloud, puzzled. One day, a delivery driver arrived with an extra large box. As he was unloading it, our curious customer noticed that the box had a hole just big enough for a small animal. Turns out, someone had been feeding pigeons from behind the market! Everyone laughed when they saw the little bird sanctuary hidden there.
4. Late one afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to Puerto Rico Market & Bakery and noticed a curious aroma wafting through the air. It smelled like freshly baked pastries mixed with something… tropical? Curious, he got out of his truck, only to see a small bird perched on top of the sign, chirping insistently. As he approached closer, the little bird suddenly flapped its wings and flew off, leaving behind a tiny piece of paper stuck to the sign. The delivery driver picked it up—it was an old receipt for a coconut cake from ‘a regular.’ With a smile, he realized that maybe the market’s secret recipe had been passed down by winged messengers after all.
