Pumpkin tastes and treats

Adecade ago, owner Owedia Alvarado and her husband took over Stein’s Bakery after working there since 1989. The recipes she uses are the same as the founders used in 1863. “We stay pretty traditional to what historically worked,” Alvarado says. Though the bakery is famous for its cheese pockets, petit fours, and cinnamon and cream cheese coffee cakes, around this time of the year they bake their pumpkin bread. The spiced bread looks like a pound cake and comes topped with a cream cheese frosting, if that’s your thing. It’s available through the end of Thanksgiving. “I love what I do,” Alvarado says. “I try to make people happy.”
