Baked here, before sunrise
Flaky, buttery, cinnamon-y. Our bakers start at 5am so the case is full by the time you walk in.
The morning case
Our pastry case changes a little every day, but some things are always there. The croissant is the backbone of the bakery: a three-day process of mixing, resting, folding cold butter into dough, and shaping by hand. It comes out tall and shatteringly crisp with a soft, honeycombed center. From the same dough we make pain au chocolat, almond croissants, and whatever savory special the bakers dream up, from ham and gruyère to spinach and feta.
Then there are the buns. Cinnamon rolls swirled with brown butter and topped with cream cheese icing; Scandinavian-style cardamom knots; sticky pecan buns on the weekend. We also bake chewy brown butter chocolate chip cookies, oat and raisin cookies, banana bread, olive oil cake with citrus, and a seasonal fruit galette.
Bread
Our country sourdough is made with a starter we have been feeding since before we opened, a blend of bread flour and stone-ground whole wheat, and a long, cold overnight rise. It has a deep, caramelized crust and a tangy, open crumb, and it is the bread we use for all our toasts. We also bake a seeded multigrain, soft milk buns for sandwiches, and a braided brioche on Fridays. Whole loaves are available to take home until they sell out, which on Saturdays is usually around noon.

Cakes & orders
We bake celebration cakes to order with at least 48 hours’ notice. Our signature is a soft vanilla sponge layered with seasonal fruit and a cloud of whipped mascarpone, finished in pastel buttercream and decorated with fresh flowers. Chocolate fudge, carrot, lemon-blueberry and a dairy-free chocolate cake are also available, in six-inch (serves 8–10) and eight-inch (serves 14–18) sizes.
For offices and parties, we make pastry boxes of a dozen mixed pastries, cookie trays, sandwich platters and coffee to go in boxes that serve ten. To order, send us the date, the number of guests and any dietary needs through the contact form, and we will reply within a day to confirm.
