South Philadelphia's very own Cacia's Bakery!
PHILADELPHIA, Pa — South Philadelphia’s very own Cacia’s Bakery first opened in 1953. Now it has expanded to six locations and employs the fifth generation of Cacia bakers.
Joseph Cacia II started working when he was 12, selling rolls out of a push cart with his father.
Once they were able to, the Cacia family moved into an upstairs apartment that is located inside the bakery’s building.
Sam Cacia says how it was convenient for his grandfather because all he had to do to get to work was walk down the stairs.
