ABOUT US

Chef/Owners Abdallah El Chami, Leah Christ, and Marysol Lopez work together to honor tradition while celebrating the occasional adaptation that comes from embracing and intertwining each other’s backgrounds. 

MISHMISH (مشمش), meaning “apricot” in Arabic, is a third-culture Middle Eastern Bakery & Café dedicated to serving food and drink inspired by the tastes and traditions that have been with our families for generations.

Designer/Owner
Shawn Rassekh of
RAAF Projects has masterfully crafted a space that harmoniously blends warmth and natural light with sleek, industrial elements. The design achieves a delicate balance, where soft, inviting tones and organic materials coexist seamlessly, creating a sophisticated, yet welcoming environment that feels both innovative and timeless.

These “loving marriages” (as we like to call them) are the reason creations like the Sfoof Tres Leches or the streusel-topped
Mishmish Bar have come to be.

We can’t wait to share what we’ve been working on with all of you!
