Retire Early Lifestyle
Retirement; like your parents, but way cooler

In 1991 Billy and Akaisha Kaderli retired at the age of 38. Now, into their 4th decade of this financially independent lifestyle, they invite you to take advantage of their wisdom and experience.

Boulenc Bakery

Oaxaca, Mexico

Billy and Akaisha Kaderli

Oaxaca City is such a fun place to visit. The cultural variety is appealing, and whether you come to learn about the Colonial history and architectuure, the music scene or the cuisine and the making of mezcal, Oaxaca will capture your heart.

A friend of ours who knows the city well took us to this outstanding bakery, supposedly the best in town!

A Boulenc sign reading: handmade bread

Apparently bread and pastries aren't the only thing Boulenc is famous for. They offer homemade jam, katsup, local honey, and kefir too.

There is a restaurant attached to the bakery. Be sure to walk on back and have a meal.

Map with the location of Boulenc Bakery and Restaurant

This Google map shows you the location of Boulenc. Just below and to the right is the Origen, which we visited and had such a lovely meal.

Outside of Boulenc Bakery

Do not be fooled by the outside appearance!

It's almost like the owners are trying to make this place the best kept secret in town. We could easily have walked past without knowing the amazing offerings that were inside.

The restaurant is through the door on the right, towards the back.

Stacks of baguettes and a shelf of round loaves

Some customers brazenly say that Boulenc has the best bread in the city!

Utilizing ‘Masa madre’ Boulenc specializes in making sourdough bread. This Masa madre is a natural yeast fermentation formed with flour and water providing probiotics that give their bread its character and unique flavor.

Yummers!

Calabaza is a squash, tasting like pumpkin. A small individual pie is $2.50USD and a large one is almost $18USD.

Carrot cake muffins

These carrot cake muffins were the best. We purchased some other pastries as well. They have fruit tarts, apple turnovers, cookies, and cinnamon rolls.

Notice the home made jam in jars below.

Rounds, loaves and baguettes

The time of the day we arrived here was after our breakfast and coffee. So it didn't occur to us to have another cup of java or go to the restaurant in the back.

Our bad.

Next time we won't miss that opportunity as we hear the restaurant connected to Boulenc is fabulous.

Notice the jams and sauces lined up on the shelves at the right. Hot sandwiches are being made at the hot press in the center, and various crisps are on a tray at the end of the table.

If you make it to Boulenc before we get back to Oaxaca, and you visit the restaurant, tell us how you like it.

We hear it's a winner!
