For 30 years, La Spiga Bakery has been a staple in Addison, serving up fresh breads, pastries and Italian-inspired dishes. The café was established in 1995 by Donato and Carolyn Milano near Addison Airport, and quickly became a favorite spot for breakfast and lunch, offering sandwiches, soups, breakfast items, and artisanal baked goods.
At the heart of La Spiga’s enduring success is Donato Milano’s deep culinary passion, rooted in his Italian upbringing. Every loaf of bread, every pastry, and every made-from-scratch dish is crafted with a commitment to quality and authenticity. Carolyn Milano handles the operational side of the business, ensuring that the café, catering services, and wholesale operations run seamlessly.
Over the years, La Spiga has flourished, expanding its original 7,000-square-foot café into a bustling 15,000-square-foot space to meet the growing demand for its wholesale business.
