Workers of famed Castro bakery, Hot Cookie, went public last week via Instagram to accuse the shop’s owners of a pattern of sexual harassment and racial discrimination.
According to the social media post, co-owner Paul Perretta was accused of a pattern of using the “hard N-word” among other unsavory racial discriminatory language at the workplace, while co-owner Tony Roug was admonished for allegedly sexually harassing workers.

LGBTQ+ Gators who frequent the shop were saddened to learn that another chapter in the Castro neighborhood’s long history of hostility to its own community was being written, but not surprised.

“It’s frustrating because people in the Castro are not completely woke about the issues that affect racial minorities, women and the [transgender] community,” De Labra said. “Clients of color I work with routinely describe not feeling welcome. They feel there are not enough spaces dedicated to them, and the spaces that do exist are commonly mired in controversy.
