Surprise Saturday at Sigona’s Redwood City
Join us from 11 AM – 3 PM Saturday, May 21st, at our Redwood City store for a day if getting to know our local vendors.
We’ve invited a few local vendors to set up shop at our Redwood City store to demo and sample their products. It’s not every day you can meet face-to-face with the creator of your favorite fare! Come on down to Sigona’s this Saturday to hear first hand from some of our local vendors about how producing specialty foods came to be their craft.
From traditional Kürtős Kalács (Hungarian Chimney Cakes) to superfood snacks made from pulse seeds, here are the vendors and special guests you can meet this Saturday:

Watch Sandor of Enni Jo make Chimney Cakes on site this Saturday!

They are low in sugar, contain virtually no bad fats and are 100% preservative free.
The best time to eat this famous Hungarian street fare is when they’re fresh – and you can’t get much more fresh than having them made right before your very eyes!
