Come Join Us January 17th For the

Re-Opening

Greetings Friends! I am so excited to be able to continue sharing our joy with you through desserts. After much reflection we have decided to transform the Cornwall space into a seated dessert and beverage shop, moving the baking offsite to a larger kitchen with more space to make all of the delicious things.

Your continued support over the years has made this possible, and we are so excited to share our new and improved space with you - TOMORROW January 17th opening at 11am!
