Pickup by arrangement in Manteca
Local pickup is available when it is offered at checkout or confirmed directly by us. Select pickup before paying; a shipping order does not automatically become a pickup order. Plan at least 12–24 hours in advance. This is a planning guideline, not a guaranteed ready time.
Wait for confirmation
We will confirm when your order is ready and provide the pickup location and agreed time. Do not travel to collect it until you receive that confirmation. Pickup is by arrangement; please do not arrive unannounced at a preparation or residential location.
Collecting your order
Bring your order confirmation or order number. If another person will collect it, tell us their name in advance and share the confirmation with them. We may verify the order to avoid releasing it to the wrong person. Check the cups and selections at handoff and bring food indoors promptly.
Late pickup, changes, and missed appointments
If you will be late or need to reschedule, contact emmalicious@theemmaalvarez.com promptly. Because food is prepared for your order, we cannot guarantee indefinite holding or freshness after a missed agreed time. We will contact you about safe pickup/rescheduling options and review the circumstances; there is no automatic penalty, forfeiture, or new fee stated by this policy. Preparation changes and cancellation requests follow our refund policy.
Questions or a problem
Report a missing, incorrect, damaged, or unsafe item as soon as practical using our refund policy. Pickup does not remove your rights for a legitimate product issue.
