To everyone who placed an order, shared Copain with family and friends, or discovered us and decided to follow along on our journey, thank you! Without you, this dream would not have become a reality.

We also want to thank Cairnspring Mills ,Fairhaven Mill and Puget Sound Food Hub Co-op for supplying our key ingredient: Washington-grown flours that provide character, depth and unmatched flavor to our breads and baked treats.

Introducing our Pain au Levain, an everyday sourdough loaf with a crisp crust and tender crumb. Made with locally sourced, Washington-grown wheat, it's a versatile loaf to enjoy from morning toast to an accompaniment at the evening table.

Pain au Levain will be part of our final preview bake before Copain officially launches, alongside familiar favorites and a few new bakes to discover.

Orders are now open.

Why Copain?

The answer is simple: a love of baking and what bread represents in my life.

Bread brings people together. It's shared with friends over drinks and charcuterie, enjoyed at gatherings big and small. Some of my favorite memories began with nothing more than a loaf of bread and good company.

I spent seven years living in France, where the culture of bread and the boulangerie are woven into la vie française. Bread isn't just something to eat; it's a part of everyday life. When I moved back to the US, I realized that this daily ritual was one of the things I missed most.

I've always hoped to recreate a small part of that experience here at home: real, honest bread made with simple ingredients, time, and tradition.

This Saturday, August 29, we'll be opening the ovens again for Copain's second Preview Bake. I hope you'll join us, bring home some good bread, and make a few memories of your own.

Orders are now open at copainseattle.com.

Un petit goûter pour l'après-midi.

A small, tender cake with crisp edges, our Financiers are rich and buttery with a delicate nuttiness from brown butter and almonds. They're the perfect accompaniment to an afternoon coffee or tea break.

An icon of French boulangerie.

With a crisp, golden crust and light, aerated crumb, the baguette finds its place alongside a charcuterie board, passed around the dinner table or just enjoyed on its own.

Did you know that the baguette de tradition, along with other traditional French breads, is protected under French law through the Décret Pain (Bread Decree)? Its ingredients are limited to flour, water, salt and a leavener such as levain or yeast.

At Copain, our Baguette au Levain is made in the traditional French way with just these four simple ingredients. Nothing more.

A tradition for a reason.

Meet the Pink Cookie.

A Copain specialty featuring a tender, cardamom-scented cookie topped with a generous layer of almond buttercream. Fragrant, rich, and indulgent, it's a delightfully sweet moment all its own.

We can't wait to share one with you.
