La Panadería Partners with UTSA to Celebrate Roadrunner Spirit

In a sweet and savory partnership, La Panadería, a beloved San Antonio bakery, is now officially linked with UTSA Athletics. This five-year collaboration has birthed the Official UTSA Concha, a delightful confection designed to showcase Roadrunner pride. The concha, a traditional Mexican pastry, has been given a vibrant UTSA-orange crust and a rich Nutella filling, making it an exciting offering at La Panadería's La Cantera location.

Celebrating Community Ties and Culinary Excellence

Founded by brothers José and David Cáceres, La Panadería opened its first brick-and-mortar shop in 2014, sharing their heritage through artisanal baked goods. The bakery has become an integral part of the San Antonio culinary landscape, embracing local flavors. With the newly announced UTSA partnership, it is clear that the bakery aims to further intertwine its identity with the community, creating more than just pastries but also fostering school spirit.

A Boost for UTSA Athletics

This partnership marks several firsts for UTSA's athletic programs. La Panadería is now the first-ever official sponsor of the UTSA Cheerleading team, allowing its branding to grace cheer uniforms, which helps elevate the spirit at game days. Their support also extends to providing meals for cheer members and the beloved mascot, Rowdy, ensuring the team is fueled for performance.

Future Prospects: More Than Just Pastries
