The place where every bite feels like home.
The Chez Panise Story
I can remember the time when the dream started of opening my own bakery-café where people could enjoy the comfort of freshly baked goods. My love for food and baking is rooted in my childhood, in the cozy kitchen of my family home, where the sweet aroma of cookies and cakes filled the air.
My mother was the heart of our home, and the kitchen was where I wanted to be when it was time for baking. As one of seven children, there was always something happening in the kitchen. When I would return home from school, there were often freshly baked cookies waiting, delicious smells filled the air.
Sundays were special. The crown of the Sunday dinner was cake. Carrot cake, Chantilly cake, Chocolate cake were some of my favorites. Chocolate cake was beginning of my love for chocolate and chocolate desserts.
Holidays were even more extraordinary. There were those desserts we had once a year. Pies with flaky pastry crusts, traditional breads, Yule logs with meringue, containers filled with several kinds of holiday cookies decorated and beautiful. When I was old enough, I joined my older sisters in baking and decorating, and my love for baking bloomed. The joy of baking while Christmas music played in the background are treasured memories. I remember my mother telling me, “You’re quite good at this, you should have your own restaurant someday”. That’s where it started.
It was in those years that I learned not just the art of baking but the importance of using quality ingredients. It was later in life when I began to pay attention to nutrition and read food labels that I learned the value of low ingredient foods. My concept today is quality, minimal ingredients with no added preservatives and additives (except red velvet).
When I became a mother of two children with significant food allergies, I found further appreciation of low ingredient foods and my baking evolved again. I’ve learned that nutritious food is at the core of happiness and gathering people who share that love is my passion.
Today, I stand on the brink of turning my passion into the dream of owning my own bakery-cake and sharing delicious comforting food with my community. Chez Panise will not just be a place to buy delicious baked items and lunch boxes, it is a place to fall in love with quality food to be shared with your families and friends.
