As Hispanic Heritage Month comes to a close, a family-owned Colombian bakery in North Philadelphia is celebrating its roots and sharing its culture with the community. When you step inside Café Tinto on Wyoming Avenue, you'll be transported to a place full of vibrant colors, live plants and traditional Colombian music.

"Everything in here has a purpose," said Giselle Poveda, the kitchen manager at Café Tinto. "We want people to think and feel like they're walking through Cartagena, Colombia – it's the beach area of our country."

The heart of Café Tinto's cultural experience lies in the kitchen, where family recipes are passed down through generations. The bakery's empanadas, freshly baked bread and other treats are a source of pride for the Poveda, whose mother owns the business.
