La Dulce Bakery & Restaurant

Zoraida saw an opportunity to be her own boss, and she took the steps to make her dream come true. Working at a laundromat, she saw a sign that read, "Business for Sale." She convinced her husband—despite knowing that it would mean taking on debt—to call the owner and negotiate a deal. She opened her first location in 2001 and has since opened 2 additional locations.

La Dulce Bakery & Restaurant offers authentic flavors of Colombia with our diverse menu of traditional dishes, freshly baked goods and delectable sweets.

When Zoraida was expanding to her third location, the NYC Business Solutions Center connected her with Renaissance. Managing the costs of multiple locations at once, she needed financial support and expert guidance to keep her momentum going. With hands-on assistance from a Renaissance business advisor, she secured a $50,000 working capital loan from Renaissance.
