🥖 Boulangerie Karyna
Founded in 1960 by Buteau Moïse, Boulangerie Karyna is one of Haiti’s most recognized and longstanding family-owned bakery brands. Established with a vision to provide high-quality baked goods rooted in traditional Haitian and French baking craftsmanship, the company has grown into a major supplier of breads, pastries, cakes, and baked specialties distributed throughout the Port-au-Prince metropolitan region.
From humble beginnings, the bakery evolved into a large-scale operation serving over one million customers through a network of more than 100 supermarkets and retail distribution points across the capital region. Over the decades, Karyna has become synonymous with consistency, freshness, artisanal baking, and accessibility.
The company’s philosophy, “La qualité à votre portée” (“Quality within your reach”), reflects its commitment to offering premium bakery products at affordable prices for Haitian families and businesses alike.
Unlike many smaller local bakeries that focus solely on neighborhood retail operations, Karyna distinguishes itself through:
- Large-scale supermarket distribution
- Strong family leadership continuity
- Traditional baking methods combined with modern production
- Wide product diversification
- Consistent product quality standards
- Strong brand recognition in Haiti
Today, the company continues under the leadership of the Moïse family, with the second generation actively modernizing operations, introducing innovative recipes, and expanding customer reach while preserving the bakery’s traditional heritage.
