Our STory
The Beginning
La Joie (which means "joy" in French), started in our hearts many many years ago. Bryan and Kate have always sought to strengthen families and serve our community through food service. Our own families have rich heritage gathering around the tables at mealtime, creating memories together while enjoying international multi-cultural cuisine. Kate developed a love for creating pastries, while Bryan worked his craft on the grill and creating memorable sauces and dips. Together, with their six children, they dreamed of one day sharing their passion with others. From small events to large scale weddings and corporate events, they found their way into dreaming of a brick and mortar storefront in Redding, CA.
Growing the Business
As they grew, more and more people were experiencing pastries in a new way - such, that they began to notice a pattern of "joie" as people tasted food and pastry that was created with love. Now, they are embarking on fulfilling yet another dream - opening a storefront location in a city that they have come to love and call home - in Redding, CA.
"I believe that La Joie provides a place for people to experience love on a plate. For us, our food is an extension of our hearts - and we welcome each of our guests as family. You know, I think it's possible for food to not only bring connection, but also healing. Sometimes it's as simple as eating something glorious for us to be reminded that there are beautiful things in life - and in that, we find "la joie".
~ Kate Grennell, founder & owner
