Flour, Faith, and Sugar: Sweet Tooth 909 Bakery

Exclusive photos and article by Richard Sandoval | Hispanic Lifestyle

Sometimes the best stories begin with a scroll

After watching an Instagram post by Michelle Valles of NBC4 Los Angeles, curiosity and a serious sweet tooth led us east to Rialto, California, in the heart of the Inland Empire. What we discovered was more than a bakery. We found a family-owned business built on flour, faith, and sugar and a story that reflects the spirit of small business growth in the region.

Located on South Riverside Avenue, Sweet Tooth 909 Bakery has quickly become one of Rialto’s most talked-about local spots. Known for selling out early and drawing customers from across the Inland Empire, the bakery is the realization of a dream that began at home.

From Home Kitchen to Community Favorite

Founded in 2012 by Maribel Diaz, Sweet Tooth 909 started as a home-based baking operation. Word spread fast. What began with friends, neighbors, and social media posts soon turned into growing demand—and eventually the leap into a brick-and-mortar location.

Today, Maribel runs the bakery alongside her sister, Araceli Rodriguez, keeping the business rooted in family, culture, and community. Sweet Tooth 909 is often described as a Mexican family-owned bakery, a point of pride reflected in both its flavors and the way customers are welcomed through the door.

We arrived unannounced, cameras in hand, during the holiday season. Despite the busy pace, Maribel and Araceli took time to greet us, share their journey, and walk us through the space an interaction that says a lot about why customers keep coming back.

Faith in the Foundation

One of the most striking moments of our visit came during a conversation about the bakery’s construction. Maribel shared that while building out the space, she inscribed Bible quotations directly onto the wall studs placing her faith into the foundation long before the first pastry was sold.

Those words may be hidden behind drywall, but they remain central to the bakery’s purpose. It’s a reminder that for many small business owners, faith and perseverance are inseparable from entrepreneurship.

A Box Full of Favorites

Of course, no visit to Sweet Tooth 909 would be complete without tasting the offerings that have earned it a loyal following. We walked away with a box of treats that perfectly captured the bakery’s appeal:

  • Almond Croissant — flaky, buttery, and delicately sweet
  • Chocolate Chip Cookie — classic, comforting, and generously loaded
  • Strawberry Pastry — bright, balanced, and beautifully crafted
  • Cinnamon Roll — rich, warm, and perfect for the holiday season

Each item reflected care, consistency, and pride in craft qualities that define successful neighborhood bakeries.

A Growing Presence in the Inland Empire

Sweet Tooth 909’s popularity has been fueled not only by quality baking but also by strong community support and social media visibility. A viral moment in recent years helped expand its reach, drawing visitors from neighboring cities and reinforcing Rialto’s growing reputation as a destination for locally owned businesses.

Open limited days and often selling out by early afternoon, the bakery has become a reminder of what happens when preparation meets opportunity.

As the holiday season comes to a close, we extend our best wishes to Maribel Diaz, Araceli Rodriguez, and the entire Sweet Tooth 909 team for a prosperous and sweet 2026.

2026 Ford Mustang RTR

Ready to Rock the California Lifestyle

Exclusive coverage of Media Day at AutoMobility LA 2025

Photos by Richard Sandoval | Production by ReWork Media Group

For over six decades, the Mustang has embodied American performance, style, and freedom. According to Ryan Shaughnessy, Mustang Brand Manager at Ford Motor Company, the next chapter of that legacy takes inspiration directly from California.

“We like to say born in Detroit, but raised in California,” said Shaughnessy. “Mustang’s history stretches from surf culture and cruising down the Pacific Coast Highway to modern motorsports and performance innovation. With the all-new Mustang RTR, we’re building on that legacy.”

Unveiled before a captivated crowd at the Formula Drift Long Beach activation, and now showcased at the 2025 AutoMobility LA / LA Auto Show, the 2026 Mustang RTR represents a new era of performance design.

What RTR Stands For

RTR = Ready to Rock
A philosophy more than a badge, RTR reflects the mindset of drivers who expect excitement, capability, and confidence on the road, the track, and even the drift circuit. Ford partnered with Vaughn Gittin Jr. and RTR Racing to engineer a car that delivers all three.

Vehicle Highlights | 2026 Mustang RTR (EcoBoost Turbocharged I4)

Exterior

  • Color Shown: Avalanche Gray new for 2026

  • Signature LED-lit nostrils integrated into GT front fascia

  • Carbonized gray pony & RTR badging

  • Functional aerodynamic air inlets

  • 30mm wheel offset for aggressive road stance—internally debated, ultimately a “no-brainer”

  • Standard quad-tip active exhaust

  • GT Performance Pack raised wing spoiler

“Once we saw the vehicle with the wheel offset, we knew it had to go into production. The stance completely changes its presence.”

Brake & Wheel Package

  • 19-inch RTR alloy wheels

  • Front: 6-piston Brembo | 15.3″ rotor

  • Rear: 4-piston Brembo | 14″ rotor

  • Color highlight: Hyperlime accents

Interior Design

A dynamic, motorsport-inspired cockpit featuring:

  • Hyperlime seat belts (exclusive to RTR)

  • Matching stitching on seats, dash, doors, steering wheel

  • Powder-coated hyperlime drift brake

  • Tron-themed, drift-motion welcome animation on start-up

  • Optional Black Onyx interior for drivers who prefer refined stealth

Price & Availability

Pricing will be announced closer to the 2026 summer launch.

What we can confirm:

  • Built as an attainable performance vehicle

  • Entry-level pricing strategy supported via EcoBoost power platform

Fun Facts & Insider Notes

  • Uniquely tuned stability control allows increased yaw at low speeds (ideal for controlled drift maneuvers)

  • No “flame-spitting” (for now)

  • Anti-lag borrowed from Ford GT is considered “the cherry on top.”
