Erica Hartig Dubreuil

Crème Bakery is the creation of Erica Hartig Dubreuil, who has been at the center of leadership in the retail food industry for over thirty years. With responsibilities including sourcing and developing unique artisan foods, setting the standard for financially efficient store operations, and curating the ever-evolving customer retail experience through innovative customer-centered store design, Erica has brought forth Crème Bakery, weaving her depth of experience and passions together in one beautiful location in the historic Claremont Village.

As a national executive at a leading organic and natural foods retailer, Erica led the Purchasing, Operations, and Store Development and Design teams before retiring at the end of 2016 to focus on the creation of her Crème Bakery. Previously, Ms. Dubreuil was an executive at Marvelous Market, a chain of exquisite retail bakeries in Washington, DC, and later The Breadline restaurant, also in DC. Prior to working with delicious food, she worked on Capitol Hill experiencing dynamic, unforgettable aspects of our government’s legislative process.

A third-generation Southern Californian raised in Alta Loma, Erica received a Bachelor's degree in Political Science from the University of California, Los Angeles, in 1988. Currently residing in Upland, she is the proud mother of two of the finest young men in the galaxy, an avid cultivator of delicate succulents, a music lover, and is a fearless baker.
