Help Alebrijes Bakery open in Rancho Cucamonga CA

We're so close we can smell the pan dulce already...

We are a group of Inland Empire residents working towards opening a worker-oriented bakery in the IE region- Alebrijes Bakery. The idea began shortly after the onset of the pandemic. As a young couple, we were looking for ways to make some extra income to be able to pay bills. This goal led us to the first iteration of our business - a pan dulce delivery service, or Los Del Pan Dulce, as some of you may recall. Los Del Pan Dulce was strictly a delivery service that coordinated with local Mexican bakeries to bring your favorite pan directly to your door.

Fast-forward to 2.5 years later, and we are about a month away from the grand opening of our first physical location and full-operation bakery. While we cannot be more excited about finally getting to work, we require additional funding to finalize the tenant improvements and to purchase the final equipment and inventory.

Anything you can chip in to bring us closer to our dream would be greatly appreciated.

We want everyone to know that we are so grateful for this opportunity and that it has been a community effort from the beginning. To honor and reciprocate the community support we have felt throughout this journey, Alebrijes Bakery pledges to:
  • Create paid opportunities with livable wages as we grow and expand; we believe everyone deserves a dignified wage and fair compensation for their labor.
  • Never let a student leave our establishment hungry; as former struggling college students, we know the anxiety, discomfort, and sometimes even shame surrounding not having enough money to eat between classes.
  • Uphold the Mexican traditions and customs passed on to us; we wouldn't be here if not for the generations before us that left their lives and hearts behind in search of a better future.

The challenges faced by entrepreneurs who identify as immigrant, first-gen, and POC are tough, but our community is tougher - resilient and united. Let this effort be an example of our community's resilience and reassurance to other entrepreneurs that, even though we don't have access to traditional forms of funding or generational wealth, SI SE PUEDE.
