Meet Summer Tarango
Summer is the creative force behind Mercado. She’s a Laguna Beach native with a passion for bringing people together, whether it’s a dinner party or a business venture. Enjoy her curated selection of vibrant, seasonal produce, local provisions, and balanced, flavorful meals—both ready-to-eat and ready-to-cook—all crafted in the Summer’s Table Kitchen in Laguna Canyon. She loves feeding you the rainbow, supporting the community + enjoying the occasional treat!
Summer’s Table was created after her walk through breast cancer in 2018 when meal kits were a life saver. She loved getting to choose what would be delivered and having it be easy enough for anyone to prepare. Once she was done with treatment, she set out to hand deliver meals in a more earth-friendly way.
In 2022 Mercado Laguna was born bringing the community high-quality food + personalized service.
Meet Molly Rossettie
Meet Molly Rossettie…Since 2010, she has been creating bright, joyful spaces filled with unique gifts, greetings, and party supplies.
She is an Orange County native whose small business journey began in Philadelphia, where armed with a copy of “Retail for Dummies” and a hardworking, creative spirit, she opened The Little Apple, an award-winning gift & vintage housewares boutique.
In 2014, Molly returned to California & opened Hi Sweetheart Gift Boutique in the heart of La Jolla. Her brick and mortar space was filled with fun and functional products, artwork and jewelry from local makers, party supplies & stationery.
In 2022, after a successful eight year run behind the counter in La Jolla, Molly pivoted to online sales, custom gifting & had the opportunity to join forces with her longtime friend, Summer & the Mercado Laguna team.
