The French Pantry -Jacksonville

The French Pantry can trace its iconic Northeast Florida roots more than 20 years to 1995 when the original owners, Tim and Barbara Felver, moved across the country from California, leaving behind careers working alongside the likes of celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck (who became a close friend) and legendary pastry chef Mary Bergin. With a passion and knack for culinary arts, the couple set out to build their next venture -- a commercial baking business in a modest warehouse on Powers Avenue near Wolfson High School.
