The opportunity wasn't just reserved for family members, though. There weren't as many Cuban businesses in the area as there are now, and Three Little Bakers served as a gathering place for those new to the country."A lot of people coming from Cuba would make a stop at the bakery looking for work and trying to figure out how to make a life for themselves after arriving," Solis says.

I was doing good in my career, and I definitely didn't want to start a bakery by myself," he says. A few years later, his cousin called and asked if he was still interested in starting a shop. Solis enthusiastically agreed. He had never fully let go of the idea, and the reminder reignited his spark.
Since then, Café Tres has hit its stride as more people become familiar with it."It's been awesome. I think I've pretty much sold out every single weekend. I can't physically make any more, at least until I get help, so at least there's no food going to waste," he says. He still works as a graphic design contractor Monday through Thursday, and goes to his commissary kitchen in the evenings to prepare and laminate pastry dough for each week's market.
"Especially now that I'm doing it by myself, I'm trying to concentrate on something that's not going to overwhelm me, and make sure I'm creating very good products," he notes."I'd rather just do like ten pastelitos that I can interchange throughout the seasons." Once the farmers' market season ends, Solis plans to do pop-ups at least once a month. Other than visiting Café Tres at events, pastelito lovers can get their fix by messaging
