Meet Your Pan de Agua

A Puerto Rican classic, baked fresh with tradition in every loaf.

Pan de Agua is one of Puerto Rico’s most beloved breads—known for its crisp, golden crust and light, airy interior. Simple, flavorful, and incredibly versatile, it has been part of the Puerto Rican table for generations.

At Panadería Don Cola’o, we’re proud to continue that tradition, baking our Pan de Agua with care and bringing the familiar taste and texture of Puerto Rico to our community here in Connecticut.

Enjoy it warm with butter and a cup of café con leche, alongside your favorite meal, or turn it into an unforgettable sandwich.

The bread in your hands is a little taste of Puerto Rico, baked right here at Don Cola’o.
