Oh how far we’ve come 🥲
Looking forward to a time where I can start (responsibly) throwing tons of new flavors at you all!
But for now… Blueberry Lavender sits in my recipe book 🫐

One last time:
The last batch at WAVA kitchen. A place that has felt like home for the last 3 years with my ‘Ohana Waren Vaughn and Aurora Sellman and Carter.
The last batch with Alejandro Hernandez and Gloria Morales who have brought their expertise and their aloha to our batter since we started almost 5 years ago.
This post rates, tears to my eyes. Sad tears that I will miss having these people in my life on a regular basis, and excited tears for what’s to come with Fuel Kitchen as our co-packer.
I am so grateful to get to go on this growth journey with all of you! Mahalo for all of your support!

What are we making today for our last batch???
Athletes Superfood and Mango Lilikoi (I oversold the inventory I had left 😅)
And… 🥁
Pumpkin Spice (I couldn’t imagine going through fall without some 😂)

Aloha ‘Ohana 🌺🥞

Zen Stax is growing — and we’re officially raising capital to help us say YES to what’s in front of us.

Over the last few years, we’ve built this company with a whole lot of aloha, grit, pancakes, and an unwavering belief that breakfast can be better.

And now, the opportunity in front of us is bigger than I imagined.

We have incredible momentum, growing retailer interest, a new 18oz format with lower pricing coming to market, expanded production capabilities, and some very exciting conversations happening about where Zen Stax could be next.

So we’re raising $750K to lean into that opportunity and give Zen Stax the resources to grow into the demand we’re creating.

And while, yes, we’re raising money — I’m really looking for partners.

People who believe in what we’re building. People who bring experience, relationships, perspective, or just a genuine excitement about helping build something special.

Because that’s always been the Zen Stax way: good food, good people, and a whole lot of aloha. 🤙🌺

We were selected! 🌺

Zen Stax is one of the brands participating in Grocery Run by Startup CPG, hosted at Woodlands Market in Kentfield, CA on September 17th — a night where emerging CPG brands get in front of the retail buyers actually deciding what makes it onto shelves.

This one’s a big deal for us. Getting selected means Woodlands Market’s buying team will be tasting the Core 4 alongside dozens of other brands doing the same work we are: showing up, one retailer at a time.

Mahalo to Startup CPG for creating spaces like this for founders, and to Woodlands Market for the opportunity.

Five days. Three cities. One very tired water bottle.

Here’s what the road actually looked like:

3 cities — San Francisco, Denver, Pueblo
6 objectives — investors, buyers, founders, collabs, showcasing the product, and a test run at our new co-packer
375 pancake samples tasted
28 stores interested, adding up to 300+ doors
2 batches made at our new co-packer
23 samples home (I was ruthless about this)
14 new brand stickers earned
~45 friends I hadn’t hugged in far too long
3 real phone calls with my boys
1 sound bath
0 sleep debt — and that might be the number I’m proudest of

The 28 stores are conversations, not contracts. That distinction matters, and the follow-up that starts this week is where they either become real or they don’t.

But I got to stand behind our pouches and watch people taste ready-to-pour batter for the first time. That face — every single time — is the fastest product research I know of.

Mahalo to Startup CPG for building the room where half of this happened, to for showing up for us on the floor, and to the teams at wholefoodsmarket, Sprouts Farmers Market and Raley's for the time and the straight feedback. And to every founder who traded notes in a hotel lobby at 11pm — you’re the reason this is survivable.

Still counting one number: whatever the toll bill comes to for every road I drove without a pass. Worth it.

Mornings filled with aloha 🤙
