Come sit with us —
the bread is warm
and there's always
a place for you.
Panaderia Ecuatoriana Charito brings the flavors of Ecuador to Northeast Minneapolis. Fresh-baked pan de bono, hand-folded empanadas, and hearty traditional meals — made the way Abuela would.
Fresh Every Morning
Our ovens fire up before dawn so you get bread that's still warm when you walk in.
Made with Love
Every recipe has been passed down through generations — nothing rushed, nothing artificial.
Community Table
We believe a meal tastes better shared. Pull up a chair — you're family here.

Our Story
A taste of home,
right here in Minneapolis
Panaderia Ecuatoriana Charito started as a dream to share the flavors of Ecuador with the Minneapolis community. What began as weekend gatherings and recipes passed down from family has grown into a neighborhood staple — a place where the smell of fresh bread greets you at the door and everyone knows your name.
Everything we make follows the same approach our family has used for generations: quality ingredients, patience, and the kind of care that comes from cooking for people you love. Our empanadas are folded by hand every morning. Our bread rises slowly. Our soups simmer all day.
Whether you're looking for a quick breakfast pan de bono with coffee, a hearty lunch plate, or something to take home for a family dinner — we're glad you're here.
Con cariño,
The Charito Family
