A Taste To Remember, The Place You Love
WHAT DOES PANNA MEANS?
In many Latin American countries, a “pana” is a friend, someone you can trust, someone you like to share and spend time with. So, we just added an extra “n” to our name to make it “doubly friendly”

HISTORY
PANNA’s history began in 2000, when Mauricio and Beatriz Meneses opened a Latin bakery on Collins Avenue in Miami Beach, Fl. After a few years of operation, they discovered that PANNA was born to create not only America’s cheese stick “tequeños” and ham & cheese filled bread “cachitos” but exceptional arepas, sandwiches and salads as well. All served in inviting place for families and friends.
Today, PANNA is a vertically integrated organization, operating a food manufacturing plant, a distribution center and a chain of restaurants, to serve the best latin food for both PANNA Stores and third-party partners.
