Our story

Since 1988,
made by hand.

The best-kept secret in Delray Beach started with one woman, one shop on George Bush Boulevard, and a belief that homemade food shouldn’t require a reservation.

1988

A simple dream

Marianne opened her gourmet shop with a dream of providing homemade, simple foods to go. She wanted people to enjoy real, scratch-made food without having to sit down at a restaurant. The dream became a reality — and it’s still going strong.

Sara takes the kitchen

When Marianne passed in 2007, her daughter Sara took over. The quality has remained exactly the same; the menu has grown to reflect the way we eat now — gluten-free, vegan and more.
