Desserts, Sweets
Hi! I’m Monica. I’m best known for chuckling at my own jokes and bringing sweets to bars. I believe we were put here to create, to inspire, and to bring a meaningful difference to others’ lives. Sharing a smile is one of the most simple yet profound acts in life, and I’ve always considered making others smile my purpose. Food just happens to be my medium.

Kendall Bajek
Pastry, Vegan/Vegetarian
In 2013, Kendall Bajek introduced Argentine empanadas to the Bucks County food scene by opening her tiny tienda called Empanada Mama. For the past five years, she has remained focused on creating innovative and unique pastries that encompass fillings inspired by cuisines from around the world. However, while serving the community, she noticed an increasing demand for more vegan & vegetarian food options. She recently expanded her empanada menu to include soups & salads and the positive customer response has compelled her to open a second restaurant concept focused solely on the preparation of healthy, plant- based foods—meet Nourish by MAMA.
