What inspired your business?
“The Buttery was born from a passion for bringing together high-quality ingredients and a welcoming environment. Our partner, Ivy Nguyen, was inspired by a love for baking and a desire to share comforting, flavorful pastries with the community. After years of perfecting recipes and studying the craft, we saw an opportunity to open a bakery that not only served delicious baked goods but also became a gathering place for locals. We officially opened our doors in August 2024, and it’s been an incredible journey ever since.”
What do you love about your business?
“What we love most about The Buttery is the joy we get from seeing our customers smile when they try our pastries. Every day we are able to combine creativity, passion and skill to create something that makes people’s day a little bit sweeter. There’s something truly magical about sharing a moment of happiness over a delicious pastry. It’s also incredibly rewarding to build lasting relationships with our customers and be part of the community.”
What’s the most interesting thing to happen to your business?
“One of the most interesting milestones in our journey was the day we received our first viral video on social media, and the response was overwhelming. That was a pivotal moment, as it helped spread the word about The Buttery and introduced us to a broader audience. Since then, we’ve had the pleasure of welcoming visitors from all over Southern California!”
What is the biggest challenge you’ve had to overcome?
“The biggest challenge we’ve faced was navigating the difficulties posed by inflation after Covid. Like many businesses, we had to adapt quickly to changing circumstances, adjusting our operations and finding new ways to connect with customers. It was a tough period, but it also brought out a lot of creativity in our team, and we were able to pivot successfully by offering delivery options and building a stronger online presence.”
Which Cambro products help make your business work?
“We rely on several Cambro products to keep our operations running smoothly. The Cambro containers, food pans and storage are essential in maintaining the freshness and organization of our ingredients. They are durable, easy to clean and perfect for our high-volume kitchen environment. We also love Cambro for keeping items organized and easy to transport.”
