As a fairly new small business, we are constantly learning. The second Sunday popups have become so special to us, and we really want to bring you a better experience than last time, every time!

So, in order to bring you all the lovely things we planned, we will be there tomorrow.

This week was a tough one! We’ve probably learned more about time management in the last week than we have the entirety of the business. I’m not sure I’ve ever spent so much time with Google Sheets. And somehow, we still ran out of time(and I am NOT bringing underproofed donuts 😤)!

But, like my mom always says: tomorrow is a new day. Tomorrow, this batch of croissant dough will be ready to fulfill its destiny. Tomorrow, we’ll be slinging pastries!

Long story short, come see us at the pub tomorrow (and if you really need a croissant donut fix there are some at The Ground Market AND Duffy’s 💛

If you went to Duffy’s today, you may have noticed a new gnome (iykyk). It’s us! Stop by for delicious coffee & sandwiches, leave with a bonus pastry 😌 Baked fresh with love, seven days a week!

And, as always, find us:
Flag & Wire Coffee
The Ground Market (formerly Source Farms)
And ✨second Sunday✨ popups at The Pub

Posting this lovely slab wedding cake(the sweetest couple!) but it’s all under the guise of shameless promotion for ✨Second Sunday✨

Tomorrow is custom cupcake day and there’s…a lot of options. To be exact, 768 combinations (yes, I absolutely relied on google to tell me how many). Or, if you’re indecisive like me, we’ll have curated 12 packs available. PLUS all the other goodies! Join tomorrow us at The Pub from 11-5ish 💛

08/09/2026

It’s that time! Join us for Second Sunday, today at The Pub 💛 11-4 or sellout!

It’s almost second Sunday again! Join us on the 9th for 🥨hot pretzels🥨, grab-and go goodies🧁, and ambiance. YES we fully take over the library nook. (And yes, everything is pink. Sometimes we need to embrace what our inner child wants.)

Happy Fat Tuesday! Or, if you are like me and have decided you need as much joy as possible in these times, happy Fat 2026! King cakes are available until my heart says stop. It may be never! 🤷🏾‍♀️

I’ve had such a hard time posting because the world feels like it’s on fire some days, and I’m supposed to post seasonal baked goods. 🫠 So, if you’d like to buy some cookies, consider buying these. $35 of each $45 box (one dozen cookies) goes to Unidos Bridging Community. Eat something good and do something good! Available until we don’t need cookies like this anymore 🙃

Hanukkah may be over, but the warm feeling we have from breaking bread with friends will keep us toasty for a while!

In her beautiful prayer over the menorah, our dear friend and host asked for peace and a home for the people of Palestine. I’m taking that with me to 2026 for sure.💛
