You asked, we listened. We’re excited to officially announce our new reality TV series: The Real Small Business Owners of Seattle 🎬🤩 For the first time, we’re taking you behind the counters. Seattle small business owners were looking for a way to spend all the free time they have, so we’re thrilled to help fill that gap. Get ready to experience the most dramatic season ever on April 1st. #spendlikeitmatters #realitylikeitmatters #mostdramaticseasonever #realsmallbusinessownersofseattle #aprilfools

Mayra Sibrian, owner of Pan de La Selva, isn’t just here to sell you a really (really) good concha, she’s inviting you to learn more about Central American baking culture and challenge the assumptions about who gets to tell a food’s story. She and her wonderful baker Sam wake up before the rest of Seattle to bake beautifully colorful, Latin American-inspired pan dulce (with the background sounds of classical music and/or true crime podcasts). Mayra welcomes anyone who walks through the door into a world of flavors they may not have tried before. We chatted with Mayra about her panadería, her story, and why spending here really matters. 🫐🫚🌴 📍 Find Pan de La Selva Downtown at 600 4th Ave — Tuesday through Friday, 8 AM–3 PM 🌿 Full conversation on the blog, link in bio
