Elsa and Manuel Mendoza began their journey in Bogota, Colombia, where Manuel raised and trained the elegant Paso Fino horses in their famous classic fino "dances," while Elsa ran a bakery serving delicacies to the neighborhood. As a renowned trainer Manuel was brought to the United States to train Pasos stateside, where they're imported for their grace and legendary smooth ride. Life took a turn when the job fell through. With little prospects and two daughters Paola and Natalia, the Mendoza's did what any family does; they prayed to God and turned to Mamma. Elsa was already an established and gifted chef, baker and pastry maker. The family started to sell her pastries out of a van in the parking lot after church, and it quickly became a family affair. The delicacies were so well received a loyal following began to grow. Patisserie Cafe was opened soon after, supplying such high-end delicacies to lake Norman and surroundings.
