THE TVK
Our Tahitian Vanilla Knots, also known by the team as the "TVK," is a favorite here at the bakeshop. Made with a croissant dough that has been infused with Tahitian vanilla beans, the sweet, perfumed scent wafts through the entire Dojo when the team is working with the dough. It is laminated with Beurre D'Isigny, the same butter from Normandy that we use in our croissants, creating super thin layers of butter and dough. The layers puff up in the hot oven to create a pillowy soft interior. The team hand cuts the dough into strips (5 cuts for each Tahitian Vanilla Knot!), they are then braided and knotted before being proofed and baked. The final step is our house-made Tahitian vanilla glaze, made with hand-scraped Tahitian vanilla bean caviar. As the knots make their way out of the oven, they are enrobed in this icing for an extra bump of sweetness and delightful vanilla flavor. Hungry?? Pre-orders for the week are open now.

OUR DEEPEST APOLOGIES For any folks who came in last weekend and had a difficult time picking up their pre-order, we struggled mightily to fulfill orders on time and we accept 100% responsibility for that failure. We have reached out to those we believe were affected, but if we missed you, please email us. If you were not delighted with your IZOLA experience for any reason, please let us know and we’ll make it right via our IZOLA Almighty Guarantee. On Saturday we had a power outage just before 10:30a, and it affected cloud based communication of all our POS ordering, inventory and packing technology. The same occurred on Sunday. At IZOLA we know that to err is human, but to recover well is IZOLA. And so that is why we've been dedicating the last several days to put immediate improvements in place - Backup power is now tested and up and running at the bakeshop. We're upgrading our main power supply. Additional team training is in work to improve our communication out to customers through both our "order ready" messaging and in person. We've adjusted our Expo screen settings to ensure closer tracking of all orders. Thank you for your grace and understanding. Regards, Jeffrey + the IZOLA Team
THANK YOU Thank you to the over 400 members of the IZOLA fam that have joined us and become owners in IZOLA this past year. Our Q2 rolling close ended with a bang, at almost $300k raised this year. We have now raised over $1.2M solely from the IZOLA community. Wow... But the hard work isn't over yet. We still have roughly $3.5M to go to fully execute on the IZOLA Main vision. So join Jenny and me next Wednesday, September 13th at 3p on Google Meet to learn more about where IZOLA has been, where we're going and why we're coming to you, our IZOLA community to help get us there.
