Hello neighbors and happy holiday week!

So excited to finally share my conversation with Rachael Strickler of the DELICIOUS Ovinloven - a Bay Area pop-up specializing in some of our favorite sweet + savory pies in California!

Rachael was kind enough to open up about the good, the great, and the very real challenges associated with launching a pop-up concept in the Bay. I so appreciate her vulnerability and community-first values, and am grateful she's trusted Dolores Deluxe as a regular host location for her pop-up over the last two years!

As luck would have it, Rachael will be dropping off Thanksgiving pies this Thursday at DD (preorders are closed, but follow @ovinloven on Instagram for updates)!

We are so looking forward to getting back to a regular release schedule with the pod, too! DD is going through so many exciting changes and the growth has been a lot to manage (great problems + learning opportunities!) but know that this platform and community are near and dear to our hearts. So in honor of the holiday, WE THANK YOU for your love, support and patience. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Hello neighbors!

So excited to share my conversation with entrepreneur, neighbor, and talented food scientist Caroline Lafleur!

Like many of my new friends and podcast guests, Caroline and I met in the middle of a transaction at DD, and I was immediately drawn to her positive energy and can-do spirit (indeed, she agreed to host a coffee pop up on the sidewalk after talking to me for only 15 minutes)!

We get into her history as a food scientist in Canada and California, and how her intense on quality and consistency working for other brands offered the ultimate training ground that eventually led her to create her own product!

Enter Bouquet infusions - the newest addition to our shelves at DD and one of the most balanced sugar syrups I've ever tasted! Come try some for yourself, and get to know Caroline before she and her company go stratospheric!

Love you all and see you next week,

Hi neighbors! So excited to share my chat with neighbor, designer, and fellow podcaster Tyson Fok!

Tyson recently released the first few episodes of Mixtape Memories, a collection of conversations with creatives about the songs that have shaped their lives. Tyson even designed a cool card game featuring all the prompts on the show which we just merchandised at Dolores Deluxe!

Tyson is such a kind and thoughtful soul - the kind of person that take genuine interest in others and cares about his community. I'm so grateful to have him in our neighborhood!

Love you all!
