Brief History

Samantha's Bakery was started by Samantha Hernandez, a long time resident of Pleasant Port. With her training as a pastry chef at the French Culinary Institute in New York, her small bakery soon became the place to buy not only pastries and cakes, but breads and other baked good as well. The bakery is now in the hands of Brady Hernandez, keeping this much loved institution in the family.
