ABOUT
OUR STORY
From a farmers' market stand to a restaurant...
We began selling our homemade croissants at farmers' markets in 2019, and the demand exploded. Our idea began when breakfast sandwiches were our most requested item. During quarantine in 2020, we designed our food truck, and it was ready to hit the road in November, after an eight-month wait. As the world started to open back up after COVID-19, we opened our window and were able to serve our Flakey Friends once again!
Quickly growing out of the truck, we found ourselves needing more hands and moved into our first brick-and-mortar in late 2021. In early 2026, we will move into a much larger brick-and-mortar, with TWO full kitchens just minutes from our current West Little Rock location!
