  • At Heart Panaderia

    Pop-Up: At Heart Panaderia

    Drop by the Opo Training Lab from 10am-1pm (or until they sell out!) for treats from At Heart Panaderia, an Atlanta-based microbakery and pan dulce pop-up. Teresa focuses on her versions of classic panaderia staples such as conchas, cakes, and galletas; the menu is always expanding. All of her bakes are made with as many local to Atlanta and/or Georgia ingredients as possible. The butter she uses is from Banner Butter in Atlanta; the flour is from Dayspring Farms in Danielsville, GA, and she orders the majority of her bakery ingredients through her CSA, Fresh Harvest GA. Supporting the farmers and other local businesses in her own community is what it’s all about.
