Masa Madre

Mexican and Latin American bakery · 1 location · Queens: Woodside

It reads as a neighborhood panadería, but the man behind the counter is a fine-dining pastry chef who published a Latin American dessert cookbook. Jose Luis Flores owns his one Queens storefront outright; four years passed between taking the space and opening the doors.

Founder-run

The Big Picture

Genuinely Independent

Masa Madre is a single Woodside storefront that Jose Luis Flores owns outright and works himself, with no investor, parent company, or franchise structure on record. Open at one location since October 2024, it has little public labor or environmental track record to weigh in either direction. There is no outside owner to answer to; the business is his.
