Let’s talk crust. 🥖

Did you know that our naturally leavened breads are fully baked on the inside after about 20 minutes? But that’s not when we take them out of the oven!

If we did, the outside would be almost creamy white. Nobody wants that!

The additional time in the oven is what develops the crust’s color, texture, and flavor. And that’s where personal preference comes into play.

Some like it golden and chewy. Others prefer it dark, crispy, and deeply caramelized. So, what’s the difference?

🍞 Golden & Chewy (La Croûte Blonde)

This lighter bake highlights the natural sweetness and delicate, nutty character of the wheat, complemented by a mild tang. The crust is gently caramelized, without the intense roasted flavors of a darker bake.

The result? A thick yet supple, chewy exterior that protects the tender crumb inside without an aggressive crunch. It’s exceptionally sliceable and ideal for everyday sandwiches, mild cheeses, and delicate spreads where you want the bread’s natural flavor to shine without overpowering the toppings.

🍞 Bold, Dark & Blistered (Bien Cuit)

For those who love a more robust crust, this deeper bake develops intense caramelization and controlled blistering, creating rich notes of roasted hazelnuts, dark cocoa, and subtle coffee undertones, balanced by a satisfying tang.

The exterior forms a thick, deeply blistered shell that delivers an audible, shattering crunch before giving way to the rich, open sourdough crumb inside!

It’s particularly well suited for salted butter, aged charcuterie, olive oils, hearty stews, and sharp farmhouse cheeses. As an added benefit, the thicker crust helps seal in moisture, keeping the interior fresh longer.

So, which one belongs on your table?

As we continue refining our bake profiles at Hermine, you may notice both lighter and darker loaves on our racks while we get a feel for what you prefer.

We know we can’t please everyone, but we’d certainly like to hear from you!

By the way… how do you like your crust? 🥖

Great pastries deserve great coffee. ☕🥐

My production manager and I know the quality of Hermine’s baked goods, and we were determined to find an artisan coffee that could do them justice.

One thing was certain: mass-produced, national chain coffee roasters were off the table. No Illy, La Colombe, Lavazza, or Melitta. That’s what you drink at the airport!

So, we set out to find something better.

Our search took us to four of Philadelphia’s top artisan coffee roasters, along with several highly regarded roasters in Brooklyn and New York City.

At each stop, we experienced something I didn’t even know existed before this journey: coffee “cupping.” Think of it as a tasting, but with a fascinating process behind it. Coffee is specially brewed, allowing a crust to form on the surface. The aroma is evaluated, the crust is broken, and small amounts are sampled using a spoon, allowing you to experience the full depth and complexity of each roast.

Wow! What an education.

We also sampled a variety of single-origin coffees, some of the finest beans available, and learned just how much goes into producing an exceptional cup of coffee.

But taste wasn’t our only consideration.

We toured roasting facilities, met the teams behind the beans, learned how to distinguish fresh coffee from stale coffee, and asked questions about sourcing and fair trade practices. Cleanliness, freshness, quality, and responsible sourcing all mattered to us.

The goal was simple: find the best-tasting, affordable artisan coffee to complement the best croissant in the universe.

And I think we nailed it!

Our selected artisan roaster will supply Hermine with freshly roasted whole-bean coffee, packaged whole-bean and ground coffee for retail purchase, and specialty single-origin selections for the true coffee aficionados.

Now, we’re an artisan bakery, not a coffee shop. But that doesn’t mean your coffee should be an afterthought.

Whether you’re ordering an espresso-based drink, drip coffee, cold brew, or another caffeinated favorite, we’re confident you’ll find something worth coming back for!

Great pastries. Great coffee. That’s what we’re after.

Stay caffeinated, my friends! ☕

Paris, merci beaucoup. 🇫🇷

An unforgettable chapter of learning, inspiration, and refinement. Every experience, every lesson, and every detail brings us one step closer to bringing the vision for Hermine to life.

The journey continues. 🥐

Paris, you gave me more than I came for. 🇫🇷🥐

Weeks of early mornings, long days in the kitchen, bike rides through the city, lessons from some of the best, and a deeper understanding of the craft I’ve chosen to pursue.

I came here to learn. I’m leaving with new techniques, new perspective, and even more respect for the time, precision, and intention behind every artisan loaf and pastry.

One last ride through Paris before bringing it all home to Moorestown.

Au revoir, Paris. The next chapter starts now. 🚲✨

And voilà! Two days, countless details, and one final complete. C’est fini! 🇫🇷

Day 1 of my two-day final is complete! Taking a much-needed breather along the Seine by my favorite bridge, Pont Alexandre III, with the Grand Palais in the background. 🇫🇷
