Someone asked me yesterday what Mom’s really want for Mother’s Day. Most of the time, it’s not naps and snacks. 🤩 it’s connection, time with her favorite people, and celebration of the moment.

We’re hosting Mother’s Day Afternoon Tea! Saturday, May 9th & 16th from 2 PM to 4 PM. This is a ticketed event with limited slots available. Each reservation will be for two people. Bring your mom, your mom bestie, your co-parent, your sister, or whoever you want to celebrate the moment with!

I bet you have an idea of what gluten free should look and taste like.

We’re here to challenge those ideas & assumptions.

Some friends came to visit the bistro & brought us a welcome rock! Ahhh, I love it so much.

We are open 11:30-5 Tuesday through Saturday. Pastries, lunch, all of your favorite breads, friends, coffee, and maybe some reggae this week.

We are still in soft opening mode (so so close though! We are still waiting on our rad wall mounted menus, a POS system, and a few other things to arrive) thanks for being awesome, and as always thanks for your patience & support as we work through some things 🎉

See you sooooon!

It’s a dark and stormy Saturday night. You’ve got a fresh loaf of brown bread, a bushel of market onions, and the best kind of plans for a cozy evening.

What’s next?

French onion soup with a brown bread crouton covered in gruyère.

Now, this is my style of Halloween desserts. Cute, delicious, and more of a treat than a trick.

A set of vanilla sugar cookies with Pac & his ghosty buddies made it to the market this week. But the speed of our bakery these days is on 11, so I never got a picture of Mr Pac! He was so cute. If you got a set, I hope they were well enjoyed!

I don’t want to brag, but our customers are among the best home chefs I know.

Here’s a peek at our focaccia rounds that was brushed with olive oil, grilled & topped with goat cheese & figs, tomatoes, pine nuts …. I’m drooling just looking at it!

You can pick up your own focaccia round this Saturday on the west side, but ordering ahead will guarantee you get what you want (we always sell out of focaccia by 11am)

I *love* to see what you do with our bread.
