2027 UPMC RESIDENCY
Wellness luxury, defined. 🕊️✨
Beginning January 2027, my mother (The Diabetic Pastry Chef) and I will embark on a permanent, multi-level residency within the UPMC Kamin Tower in Oakland.
Our presence is designed as a comprehensive wellness ecosystem. Across the Tower’s shops, we will offer our proprietary traditional and sugar-free pastries—marrying clinical integrity with artisanal craft—including our renowned handcrafted pastéis de nata and award-winning savory grab-and-go meals!
Additionally, my mother’s unique greeting card collections for every occasion will be featured on a dedicated level, creating a 360-degree touchpoint for connectivity and mindfulness. Comfort where and when it’s needed most.
We aren’t just preparing for a monumental opening; we are building a legacy of health equity and indulgence without sacrifice.
UPMC PRESBYTERIAN POP-UPS
The remainder of our 2026 UPMC pop-up dates before our January 2027 Kamin Tower multilevel residency:
- May 18th
- July 13th
- August 12th
We’ll also see you at the Juneteenth festival and for significant event and black-tie catering!
Our fresh lemon crinkles sell so quickly wherever they are, including at UPMC Presbyterian (Oakland)—as do our pastries—so we will be brightening up your February with our fresh lemon curd tartlets!
As ever, it is your choice—made traditionally or blissfully sugar-free.
We source our organic produce from Fresh Thyme®, so it is always a good time. 🍋🍓
We’re pleased to announce a strategic partnership with UPMC—a salient milestone in our mission to deliver both sugar-free and classic baked specialties where they’re needed most.
You’ll find our offerings at the hospital’s main cafeteria on October 8th, 13th, 27th and 30th from 9AM-3PM, presented as a weekly six-hour pop-up.
This inaugural concession is more than a point-of-sale; it’s an invitation for patients, staff and visitors to experience connoisseur-level baked goods that marry taste with wellness.
We embark on this venture with gratitude for our community’s support and confidence in our craft. Here’s to forging new avenues in healthcare hospitality, one extraordinary cookie at a time.
