Sourdough · Pastries · Coffee

Come in from the cold. The coffee’s on and the first bake is out.

Bread, pastries and coffee, made and poured a few feet from where you’re standing. Take a loaf home, or take a seat by the glass and stay for the morning.

The counter

Everything on the counter came out of the room behind it.

Three things, done every morning: bread, pastry, coffee. Nothing is made anywhere else.

Custom cakes

For the birthdays, the weddings, and the Tuesdays that needed a cake.

Cakes are made in the same room as the bread, to order. Tell us the occasion, the date you need it and how many it should serve — everything else we work out together.
