About

Villa Nueva Bakery at 956 Orange Avenue in Coronado occupies a storefront with a baking history dating to 1911, when Anderson's Coronado Home Bakery first fired ovens at the same address on the island. The bakery's pastry case rotates through pan dulce, conchas, pistachio croissants, fruit tarts, and sourdough alongside a full breakfast and lunch menu of omelettes, Mexican-cuisine plates, and light-fare salads — an artisan food breadth that pairs with the imported olive oils and specialty vinegars at Coronado Taste of Oils further up Orange Avenue. The address passed from the Anderson family (81 years) to the Stavros family's Primavera Pastry Café (11 years), then to the Villa Nueva name in 2003 under new ownership, and is currently operated by the Serio, Lopez, and Name families in partnership. Custom cake orders cover celebration, wedding, and event tiers, an event dessert program that coordinates with vendors such as The Coronado Flower Lady on Orange Avenue for full ceremony and reception coverage. The kitchen still uses the building's original commercial ovens for bread production, and the cafe's indoor and patio seating faces Orange Avenue four blocks north of Hotel Del Coronado in the 92118.
