INDIANAPOLIS — Artisan Bakery is a Mexican bakery that’s been serving up sweet treats on Indy’s west side since 2018.
You will find everything from traditional Mexican baked goods to American classics.
“Everything is fresh-baked every day,” according to assistant manager Jennifer Novelo-Willis. “Our most popular is the tres leches cake or the milhojas cake.”
The tres leches cake is a staple in Mexican and Latino culture.
“We make it with three different types of milk, so it's a very moist cake,” Novelo-Willis said. “We put a mixed berry filling inside of it and then decorate it with strawberries and white chocolate. The milhojas is a layer cake of puff pastry and mascarpone filling, and we've put almonds and pecans around the side and a mixture of fruit on top.”
If those sound a little too decadent, customers also have a wide variety of breads and rolls to choose from.
“The most iconic Mexican pastry is the one up top there that was a concha or seashell,” Novelo-Willis said. “It's kind of like a brioche bread and then we put sugar paste on top in the form of a shell.”
The customer’s at Artisan Bakery are just as diverse as its product lineup.
“We love having a diversity of people,” Novelo-Willis said. “This is a Mexican bakery, but we get such a variety of different people that come in and then it's always nice to see them. it's just it's just a really rewarding feeling to be able to serve our community.”
Artisan Bakery is located at 7341 Rockville Rd. in Indianapolis. It’s open 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Sundays.
