hen we came to live
on Guam many years
ago, we were Filipino
contract workers who
dreamed of becoming
business owners. Never did we imagine we would be celebrating the grand
opening of our second bakery and water
station, or opening our irst café. We
have much to be thankful for.
We are thankful for the support of the
island community. Many of our customers are familiar faces we see everyday in our bakeshops and it’s been a
pleasure getting to know our customers
over the years and seeing their children
grow up and expand their families.
We’re also thankful for the support of
the business community, and we pledge
to continue providing the island with
our best product and service offerings.
We are especially thankful for our hardworking staff, who we consider to be
our family. Many of our employees have
been working with us since we irst
opened our doors in 1999 and they are
the backbone of our operations. We are
deeply grateful for their commitment
and support.
From our family to yours, thank you for
your support over the past 17 years. We
are proud to call Guam home and we
will continue to contribute to the prosperity of our great island community.
Sincerely,
Arthur and Zenaida Zantua

Hafa Adai and Mabuhay,
I congratulate the management and staff of New Fresh Bread Bake Shop, Café Panadero, and Nature’s Fresh Water Station and Mini Mart on the opening of
their newest location in Yigo. New Fresh Bread Bake Shop opened its first location in the village of Dededo in 1999 serving Filipino breads and pastries. New Fresh
Bread Bake Shop and accompanying stores have experienced steady growth over the last 15 years and now have expanded their services to meet the growing needs of
our community.
The successful growth of these businesses can be attributed to the determination and hard work of Mr. Arthur and Mrs. Zenaida Zantua. Today, the Zantua
family celebrates the grand opening of a second bakery and their first coffee shop. The Zantuas worked diligently from very humble beginnings as contract workers to
become business owners and provide quality products and service to every customer. I commend them for their years of business and significant contributions to our
local economy.
I extend my sincere congratulations to the Zantua family, staff and management of New Fresh Bread Bake Shop, Café Panadero, and Nature’s Fresh Water
Station and Mini Mart on this exciting milestone. I look forward to their continued success in the years ahead. On behalf the people of Guam, thank you and
congratulations!
Sincerely,

t the age of 10,
Arthur Zantua
got an early
start in the
bakery business by selling
pandesal on the streets of Manila.
Every morning on his way
to school, Zantua would
pick up a box of pandesal from a neighborhood bakeshop, divvy
up the rolls and deliver
them to the doors of his
customers.
“I’d put the bread into
plastic bags and I would
hang the bags on the
front door or on the gate
and just leave it there,”
Zantua recalls. “Then,
at the end of the week, I
would collect payment.”
a master baker and pastry
chef, securing positions with
high-proile clients in the Philippines, Singapore and Brunei. In 2003, Zantua accepted
an offer to work for American
Bakery in Guam. A year later,
he met the woman who would
become his wife and business
partner.
I thought I
was just going to be a baker.
I just worked and
helped my parents, and that
was my life. Even
though I had a
dream, I never
imagined all of
this would be
possible.”
Zantua also peddled
sweet rice cakes and other items and earned additional money by shining shoes for Japanese
tourists. “Japanese tourists would take off their
shoes at the restaurant,
so I would ask if anyone would
like me to clean and shine their
shoes while they were eating,”
Zantua says. “Back then, I just
did whatever I could to earn
money to help support my parents.”
Years later, Zantua’s father
would secure a job for him at
a bakery, which led to a position in the bakery’s creative
department where Zantua irst
honed his skill as a pasty chef.
When it was time to attend college, Zantua applied for a job
as a part-time baker and asked
that, instead of receiving a salary, the bakery pay the cost of
his school tuition. The bakery
agreed to his terms.
“Basically, I bargained for
my education,” Zantua laughs.
Zantua went on to become
By 2003, Zenaida Zantua was already an established business owner
in Guam. She had purchased a bakery in Yigo
in 1997 and two years
later relocated it to Dededo under the name New Fresh
Bread Bakeshop.
“I came to Guam as a contract worker,” Zenaida says.
“But I had a dream of owning my own business one day.
When I received my green
card, I was given the chance to
achieve that goal.”
Over the past decade, the
Zantuas grew their bakery
business by baking breads
and specialty items for local
restaurants and hotels. They
also expanded into the drinking water business by opening

in Dededo.
Today, the Zantuas are celebrating the grand opening of
their second New Fresh Bread
Bakeshop and Nature’s Fresh
Water Station locations, as
well as the grand opening of
their irst coffee shop, Café
Panadero. All three businesses
are housed under one roof in
Yigo.
The new location offers hot
breakfast and lunch plates, a
dining area, and a mini mart
that stocks a variety of dry and
frozen Filipino goods. The Yigo
water station also features a
drive-thru service.
From their humble beginnings to becoming business
owners, the Zantuas hope their
story might inspire other Filipino contract workers to pursue their dreams.
“I thought I was just going
to be a baker,” says Arthur.
“I just worked and helped my
parents, and that was my life.
Even though I had a dream,
I never imagined all of this
would be possible.”
Zenaida nods in agreement.
“We are an example that there
is hope for contract workers.
You don’t have to be a contract
worker for the rest of your life,”
she says. “But you must have a
goal and you must have a plan.
So, dream and plan, and you
will achieve your goal.”

n 1999, New Fresh Bread
Bakeshop opened its doors
in Dededo and gained the attention of the local Filipino
community with its Filipino
breads and pastries.
“The most popular items at our Dededo bakery are the Filipino breads: pandesal, pan de coco, pan de ube,” says
Zenaida Zantua, owner of New Fresh
Bread Bakeshop. Zantua says the bakery produces 3,000 pieces of pandesal
every day.
Together with husband and business
partner Arthur Zantua, a master baker
and pastry chef, the Zantuas grew their
business by creating and baking exclusive recipes for hotels and restaurants
around the island. If you’ve ever eaten
a dinner roll on a United or Philippine
Air light, you’ve tasted bread from New
Fresh Bread Bakeshop. The bakery
also bakes bread for Sea Grill, Meskla,
Applebee’s, IHOP, Westin and others.
“We create a
recipe based on what
our
customer’s
wants
and needs are,” says Zenaida. “Once
we have created a bread recipe for a
restaurant, we don’t share that recipe
with anyone. That’s theirs exclusively.”
New Fresh Bread
Bakeshop is celebrating the grand opening of its
second location in Yigo, which is quite
different from its original location. For

no. In Yigo, Zantua says, it’s a mix.
“I can’t sell croissants or fancy macarons in the Dededo bakery, but here in Yigo
those items sell because our customers
are not just Filipino,” says Zantua. “We
see a lot of military and other members of
the community. We’re starting to see a lot
of regular customers, which is nice.”
The new location in Yigo features Café
Panadero, a coffee shop where patrons
can sit down to drink and dine on items
purchased from the bakery and café. For
irst time visitors to the New Fresh Bread
Bakeshop, Arthur recommends trying the
cream cheese rolls, French macaroons,
young coconut and taro-lavored cake
rolls, and Sans Rival.

with a bit of a crunch that’s made of layers

of buttercream, meringue and
chopped cashews. In French, its
name literally means “without
rival.”
The New Fresh Bread Bakeshop bakeries employ 52 workers, with the majority of them
working at the Dededo bakery.
Of the 52 employees, 21 have
been with the Zantuas since the
business opened in 1999. Arthur says some of the children
of those original workers are
now working in the bakery.
Zenaida believes the employees have remained with the
bakery throughout the years
because she and Arthur treat
them like family.
“Dealing with them personally, we consider them a part
of our family. We don’t consider them as employees,” says
Zenaida. “We eat together, we
shop together, we go to the
movies and the beach together
– you name it. We share what
we have.”

Located in Yigo, Café Panadero is
owned by Arthur and Zenaida Zantua, a husband
and wife team who designed and built the combination café and bakery with a vision to create a family-friendly space where people could eat, relax and
socialize.
“We have a lot of regular groups that come to
the café throughout the day,” says Zenaida. “In the

try it, they like it and come back again.”
The lunch and breakfast menus change daily and
an a la carte menu featuring a variety of pasta dishes is always available. The café also serves pandesal
sandwiches, soups, and Filipino desserts.
Tables and chairs are arranged in the center of the
café/bakery where customers eat, chat, linger and use
the free Wi-Fi.
“I love it here. They make great coffee and bread,
and it’s a comfortable place to hang out,” says Natassia Nave, a Café Panadero regular. “It’s really nice
to have a place like this in Yigo.”
