01 In the case

What we counted
on the shelves

There's no menu online, so we read the case off their own photographs. The labels in it are handwritten on index cards.

02 The case

Trays, not stock photos

Every picture below was taken inside 3813 English Ave.

A detail we liked

The labels in the case aren't printed. They're index cards propped against the glass, in somebody's handwriting.

03 Cakes

The cakes are in the same case

Katie bought one for her brother's birthday without asking what kind it was: the outside was so beautiful. It was a soaked cake with a strawberry layer- so delicious! A great summertime cake.

Call the bakery (317) 351-1175

Sizes, lead times, and whether they'll do a custom one aren't written down anywhere online — there's no website to write them on yet. So call and ask. Somebody is there from 7am to 8pm, every day of the week.

Holiday hours aren't posted anywhere. Before Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve — the two days a bakery's whole year turns on — call first.

Gerardo LemusThe business card behind the counter says propietario under his name, and above it, Panadería y Pastelería. That is the whole description this place has ever needed.

The Bakery Lemus storefront: LEMUS BAKERY PANADERIA sign, a neon OPEN sign, and 3813 on the door

The sign reads LEMUS BAKERY · PANADERIA. 3813 is on the glass door, and the windows are hand-painted.
