Dominican Baking, Made From Scratch
Santia Bello brought her recipes from Baní to Boston — and every cake, empanada, and pastelito still carries that original care.
Empanadas and Pastelitos
Our beef and chicken empanadas are oversized on purpose. Flaky, well-seasoned, and made fresh — they're the reason regulars come back.
Something for Every Occasion
Boston and Lawrence Locations
Find us in Jamaica Plain and on Essex Street in Lawrence. Both spots feel like home — warm, welcoming, and worth the visit.
Handcrafted With Heart, Rooted in Dominican Tradition
Santia's Bakery began in the Dominican Republic in the early 1990s — handcrafted cakes, generational recipes, and a family's love of baking that was too good to stay in one city.
What our guests are saying
This is quickly becoming my new favorite cafe in Lawrence. The ladies who run the shop are kind and answer all questions. Come in and get double espresso and a package of Alfajores or a slice of the many cakes.
