From small beginnings to America’s favorite brioche brand, our story is one of passion, determination and entrepreneurial spirit. Our journey started in 2012, attending trade shows to learn about the market for two years, before launching in 2014. Since then, we have grown exponentially, becoming a national brand and bringing a taste of Paris to homes across America.
