The Patisserie Inc

What The Patisserie Inc does

The Patisserie Inc. is a wholesale bakery headquartered in Pearl City, Hawaii, producing fresh baked goods, pastries, breads, donuts, cakes, and specialty items including the trademarked Rolf's Lavosh™ line for B2B customers statewide. Founded in 1968 by Rolf Winkler and Michel Martin and acquired by the Paparelli family in 2004, the company operates 24/7 from a 27,000-square foot facility in the Pearl City Industrial Park with approximately 50 employees.

The business serves five primary customer segments: restaurants and cafes (including Five Guys, Teddy's Bigger Burgers, Morton's The Steakhouse, Popeyes); grocery retail (Sam's Club, Foodland, 7-Eleven); hotels and resorts (Hilton, Marriott, Sheraton); U.S. military installations in Hawaii; and private label/co-packing customers (including Da Kine Donuts). Underlying technology consists of standard commercial baking, extrusion, depositing, and die cutting equipment, augmented by an FDA-approved HACCP food safety program, GMP certification (95% audit score from Mérieux NutriSciences), and a trademarked Lavosh recipe using an authentic Armenian formulation.

The revenue model is built on daily wholesale B2B delivery across Hawaii (transactional pricing with tiered delivery fees: $15 for orders $40-$59, $10 for $60-$99, free over $100), plus contract co-packing/private label manufacturing services and military supply contracts. Distribution operates seven days a week including holidays, with products sold under The Patisserie's own brands (Da Kine Donuts, Paradise, Harvest Hawaii, Rolf's Lavosh) and customer private labels. The company holds HACCP and GMP certifications and operates with multi-generational family leadership, with Marc Paparelli assuming the presidency in 2024.
