Kyle Swift, owner of Swiftly Catered, a popular catering business on 30A, has recently partnered with Dallin Harris, former owner of Barbacoa Mexican Grill, to acquire La Loba’s Bakery and Café in Blue Mountain Beach. Together, they have a vision to expand the menu, by offering a wider selection of baked goods, lunch menu items, and of course, gourmet coffee. The new partners are committed to providing the best customer service and satisfaction possible. “The amazing pastries and baked goodies were already here. We just want to continue adding even more great options to an already working menu, make sure orders get out quickly and provide a friendly and inviting atmosphere so that our customers are happy,” says Swift.
The team has already begun to invest in a new and improved outdoor seating area to make the location a hot spot for both locals and tourists alike. The partners have added bar seating to the deck area as well as a shade sail and happy customers are already noticing the improvements. Kyle adds, “Eventually we would like to add onto the deck and have live music and other events here as well. It’s a great location right on 30A and we want to utilize it and make sure people know they are always welcome. That’s why we’ve also decided to rebrand the business, so it’s more accessible to everyone. Effective October 14, we will be the Blue Mountain Bakery.” The newly improved bakery will not only bring new energy and life into Blue Mountain Beach but will also allow Swift the ability to run a successful breakfast and lunch location, while simultaneously utilizing the kitchen in the evenings for the growing catering company.
Swiftly Catered is an impressive catering operation that provides high-end, in-home meals for many affluent locals and vacationers who travel to the Emerald Coast and was built from the ground up by the local private chef. Working as both a chef and in the food distribution industry for years has given Kyle a different insight into the food and restaurant industry. His main goal has always been to live a comfortable life while also supporting his family. He began his own catering company in 2014 to share his passion for food with as many people as possible and to bring in a little extra income. He found true happiness running his own business and has been searching for the right opportunity to help Swiftly Catered grow by investing in a catering kitchen. He found that opportunity right on 30A in Blue Mountain Beach.
Swiftly Catered and Chef Kyle are already well known on 30A as he has previously participated in Chef Emeril’s Taste of the Race and the South Walton Fire Department Pancake Breakfast. He was also heavily involved in Hurricane Michael recovery efforts and even started the Christmas for the Coast program with some of his close friends. Through hardworking volunteers and many generous donations, this program provided over 120 families with a real Christmas that they otherwise would not have been able to afford during such difficult times. “Bringing hope and happiness for better days to come to so many struggling children and families is one of the best decisions I ever made. I hope to be able to continue to give back to the community I know and love,” Swift says.
