This definitely inspires me to open my own cafe/ bakery…….I’ll comment again if I ever do. Thank you for posting this beautiful video about your bakery.
New viewer. This layout of your bakery is very very nice. So cozy and beautiful. I too was in baking before the pandemic, left it, now back at it in my home (for now). I really enjoy your content.
You should definitely do more videos about running the bakery. You can do Day in the life/behind the scenes of what were goes on and it’s really interesting and I would love to see some thing that
I’m craving your lemon pop tarts right now! So proud that everything you touch is a success! Such a hard working vanilla smelling French Pastry Chef! Nothing worthwhile comes easy! & you definitely put in the blood sweat & tears! I see a chain of these coming soon!
Yes please! I would love to see how you DIY’d the hutch into a fireplace. It looks fabulous! Also would love tutorials on food art. Love your quirky aesthetic!! I see some coffee table books in your future!
Getting ovens through doors is one of those behind the scenes challenges that nobody talks about. We are in the process of opening our third location and it’s always a problem.
I’m in NC now but this had me missing my hometown!!!! It has been 8 years since I’ve been home. I was watching shorts until I saw one of yours. I saw out the window as you said something about moving to the Central Valley so I thought maybe I’ve been to that area. Born and raised in Visalia. I even went to Redwood High School which is down the street from your bakery. I need to get home. I’m sure it has changed drastically the last time I was there.
@@brookedarwin oh no! Rivals! Lol. Well it’s always nice to see my hometown growing and developing. Congratulations on your business. It’s beautifully done.
I’m so PROUD of you my friend!!! You are such an amazing lady and to top it off just frickin talented! Keep up the amazing work. Live & miss you 😘 xoxox
A lovely story told very elegantly. The shop looks fabulous and i agree the flooring is a no...bamboo type flooring id say for a beach house .but hey....you will be a great success.
20:45 I can totally relate! I just celebrated my 8th anniversary at work. younger people are joining the company and it definitely feels weird! Congrats on your bakery by the way! I'd love to see a full tour of your bakery and a day in the life as well :)
BEAUTIFUL..1 thing I would love to see is the upholstery updated ..make it look more curated and uniform and less outdated thrift.. a blue lux velvet would elevate
thanks for this , I want to open a bakery in south florida. you gave me hope today. great video...please tell me how much you spent for the kitchen..the entire tools
Your video really inspire me to focus on my plan! Please keep posting other informative information about bakery. Talk about the equipments for a baker. Where to purchase items etcs. Thank you an advance.
your bakery turned out beautiful! cobgratulations! if you dont mind, i have a question in regards to the baking part. how well does the convection oven bake pies and breads? im planning on starting a bakery too but have been thinking of starting out with just a convection oven as its much affordable than deck ovens. 😊
I really enjoyed this video & learning how it all came together, you've created such a charming place & I look forward to seeing it in person someday , ( maybe closer to fall ) I'm sure you've got something really fun & unique planned for halloween decor ..Congratulations on your success!
Hi! New viewer here, loved the video! I am a dreamer and would love to open up my own cafe one day. Im curious what licensing and everything you had to go through to open up and own a bakery?
As far as I remember, I had to set up a business tax account, and an account with the health department. You’ll also need people to have their serve-safe certifications, schedule an inspection with the health department. Our attorney set up the business as a small corporation, so I’m not sure what was needed for that but you can also go llc or DBA if it will just be you. I’d ask an accountant what they think would be best for the business you plan on opening.
Every time I see someone say they had nothing to do over covid I get so jealous. I've always had a passion I've tried to make into a side hustle but covid was 50 hr work weeks here.... Never got the opportunity to truly focus on my own passions.
The title is How WE opened a bakery, not how TO open one. It’s a personal account, everyone’s experience is going to be different and the renovation/preparing the space was the biggest part of ours.
I DEFINITELY go to places for the ambience! It really does matter. I will choose an ambience place over something else every time
This definitely inspires me to open my own cafe/ bakery…….I’ll comment again if I ever do. Thank you for posting this beautiful video about your bakery.
How’s it going?

Thanks for watching! I actually did a day in the life, it's my second most recent video:)
My FYP of shorts sent me here. Watched all your stuff! Congratulations on the bakery!
Beautiful! I'm having same experience and it's good to hear that I'm not alone!
Hang in there! It’s a wild ride isn’t it? Always changing always something to be excited/stressed about at the same time 🫠
Best wishes!!!
Hi, I don’t know you personally, but I’ve enjoyed watching you build and create and bake!! Thank you for sharing and CONGRATULATIONS!!
That makes me so happy, thank you!

I'll have to make you one of the lemon meringue cookies when you visit again!
The fireplace is absolutely beautiful! 😍😍
I love your video, it feels like you're having a chat with me and not some overly edited and manufactured video, all the best for your business!
Yes please! I would love to see how you DIY’d the hutch into a fireplace. It looks fabulous! Also would love tutorials on food art. Love your quirky aesthetic!! I see some coffee table books in your future!
Look at Chase carrying that 5000 dollar piece....keep it up guys and remember to enjoy all the blessings
Definitely trying to stay mindful and enjoy the blessings through the struggles. Thanks Chad:)
Went to the bakery! Everything was sooo good! ❤
Wow, I grew up in Porterville, once I come back down to visit, I will definitely need to make a stop there and try your pastries!
Getting ovens through doors is one of those behind the scenes challenges that nobody talks about. We are in the process of opening our third location and it’s always a problem.
Sounds like the word got out around town 😅 Visalia has that small town chatter. Congrats 🍾
Well done Brooke! 💚 The place is beautiful and your pastries look amazing! So glad you guys are doing so well! 🥰
Thanks so much Kari!

Oh wow! Yes, Redwood is so close! My husband was a Whitney boy.

What does the kitchen look like, how do you organize the spaces behind the "scenes"? How did you decide on the menu?
I envy you. Hope business is going well. Congrats!
It’s been so busy we are really lucky. Thank you❤️
Please make a video about the fireplace diy that is so dope!
Yes!
Congratulations 🎊🎉
How'd you paint the ceilings? They look great, but I have no idea how you did this with the black!? Please do tell/explain!
We hired someone to do that after we painted the walls. I think they also sprayed.
@@brookedarwin Ah, ok! Thank you!
We down at Simply Chic love your bakery! Thanks for being there Brooke and Chase!
Congratulations 🎉
I just discovered your videos. I live in your area and will definitely stop by for a yummy treat.
Best Wishes❤
Yay, see you soon!

I sure do! Thank you so much❤️❤️❤️
Wow you guys kicked butt. How incredible I just love it. What is the name of it ?
It’s Bread Savage 🖤
Hi there , How much was the start up cost? Considering opening a bakery out here in Florida
Your hair clip is so pretty! Where did you get it?
Thank you! It was from Marshall’s I think, came in a pack of two (got them around November)
so what are you selling? you bake everything there from scratch??
What things should I buy for a bakery
Hi! New viewer here, loved the video! I am a dreamer and would love to open up my own cafe one day. Im curious what licensing and everything you had to go through to open up and own a bakery?
As far as I remember, I had to set up a business tax account, and an account with the health department. You’ll also need people to have their serve-safe certifications, schedule an inspection with the health department. Our attorney set up the business as a small corporation, so I’m not sure what was needed for that but you can also go llc or DBA if it will just be you. I’d ask an accountant what they think would be best for the business you plan on opening.
😄 the days of being young is gone when are mentoring staff 😄
You are inspiring me! How do I get investors and also make income?
Where did you get the wallpaper in your Armoire ?
It’s from a company called Lick I think it’s waves 03
Thank so much for replying! Have just discovered your videos and really love your content. Best of Luck with your Bakery! 😊
Any job for your bakery shop
Every time I see someone say they had nothing to do over covid I get so jealous. I've always had a passion I've tried to make into a side hustle but covid was 50 hr work weeks here.... Never got the opportunity to truly focus on my own passions.
Is the bakery still going? We need videos 😅
It’s going strong and the biggest reason why I post so inconsistently 🙃 but I’ve been meaning to do a one year update soon!
@@brookedarwin yay! Yes plz do a 1 year update 😅
How'd you afford the minimum wage in California?
We had to get contractors and couldn’t do it ourselves
What’s the coffee shop and restaurant your brother in law owns?
Cellar door and mavericks
@@brookedarwineen there. Your danish btw 🤌🏽. Still need to come by for a focaccia. I forget what day they told me to go.
Am the 900th likkerrrrr
You could have mentioned in the description that this video is about renovation and not what you actually did to open the bakery!
