Ottery St Mary is about to become even sweeter with the grand opening of Ella Rosina Patisserie, a brand-new patisserie shop offering an exquisite selection of pastries, cakes, cream teas, and deli light lunches. Founded by local entrepreneur Connie Reeves, a graduate of the prestigious Leiths School of Food and Wine, Ella Rosina Patisserie is not just about indulgent treats; it’s the culmination of a hard-fought personal journey. A single mum with a passion for culinary excellence, Connie has overcome numerous challenges to turn her dream of opening a beautiful patisserie into reality.
The patisserie is more than just a business; it’s a reflection of the owner's deep connection to her roots. Having grown up on a strawberry farm, she developed a love for fresh, locally sourced ingredients and the art of creating delectable treats. Naming the shop after her grandmother is a heartfelt gesture, honouring the woman who shaped her upbringing and her journey as both a chef and a mother.
Connie said: “I wanted to create a space where people could not only enjoy high-quality food but also feel immersed in beauty, comfort and creativity. This shop represents my journey, my passion for food, and the love I have for this town." The patisserie will offer a mouth-watering selection of freshly baked pastries, cakes, and Devonshire cream teas, as well as light lunches perfect for a leisurely afternoon.
Not only will the food entice visitors, but the interior design is sure to take you.
