Loaves shaped and ready for the oven

One oven, two bakers, no shortcuts.

We opened in 2019 with a secondhand deck oven and a levain carried over from a decade of home baking. The menu is short on purpose: fewer things, made properly, sold the day they're baked. Whatever doesn't sell by close goes to the shelter kitchen on 9th.

  • Flour from two mills within 200 miles
  • Everything laminated, shaped, and baked on site
  • Day-end loaves donated, never binned

Good to know

How do pre-orders work?+

Order by 6pm through the form (or by phone) and your bag is behind the counter from 8am the next day. We hold pre-orders until close.

When do you usually sell out?+

Pastries by 11, bread by early afternoon on weekdays. Saturdays can go faster — the miche is usually gone by 10.

How far ahead do custom cakes need?+

Five days for most cakes; three weeks for weddings so we can schedule a tasting. Short-notice requests are worth a call — sometimes we can.

Allergens + dietary?+

Everything is baked in one room that handles gluten, nuts, dairy, and eggs. Vegan and gluten-free cakes are available; truly allergen-free we cannot promise.

Do you wholesale?+

A short list of local cafés, capped so the counter never goes short. Email us — when a slot opens we go down the list.

The morning bake, fresh off the bench

The cake is the one thing you can't leave late.

Five days' notice for celebration cakes, three weeks for weddings. Tell us the date and we'll take it from there.
