Our lead times vary depending on the product, order quantity, shipping destination and if your products are Made to Stock or Made to Order. We will work with our Partners to put together a program that meets everyone’s needs.

Our MOQs vary depending on the product type, equipment used and annual forecast. Please contact us to discuss your specific needs.

We can partner with International Customers but at this time, we don’t offer international shipping directly. International Customers can use freight-forwarder companies, such as Shipitto.com or MyUS.com, to get products shipped to them. Please note, however, that as we do not ship internationally, you will be responsible for ensuring that the product complies with local regulations. You also will be responsible for any import taxes that may be incurred.

We always love to meet with our current and potential Customers and give them tours of our Pastry and Bar plants! We are proud that all of the Production Plant photos on this website are of our own facilities, and showcase our own awesome Team. Please note that tours need to be arranged in advance (and are only available at certain times) because we have established NDAs with many of our Customers and because of the proprietary processes we utilize.

We are located in the Los Angeles, California area. We have two manufacturing facilities. One focuses on non-baked products, such as slab bars, extruded bars, crispy rice treats and nut-butter filled balls and bites. The other is our “Protein Bakery,” and this focuses on baked products such as high protein toaster pastries, cinnamon rolls, donuts, cookies, brownie and cake squares.
