Full menu

Breakfast Pastries & Muffins

Sticky BunBaked upside down in a caramel of brown sugar and butter, these yeast rolls emerge glossy and gooey, crowned with toasted pecans.
Blueberry MuffinA domed muffin studded with whole blueberries and finished with a crunchy sugar top; moist crumb with bright, jammy pockets of fruit.
Cinnamon RollYeasted dough spiraled with brown sugar and cinnamon, baked snug in a pan so the sides stay pillowy, then spread with cream cheese icing.
Bear ClawA slashed, claw-shaped Danish filled with sweet almond paste and topped with sliced almonds and a thin glaze; layered and buttery throughout.

Breads & Rolls

Parker House RollsFolded dinner rolls with a feathery crumb and golden tops brushed with melted butter and flaky salt, a fixture on holiday tables.
Multigrain LoafA hearty loaf combining whole wheat, oats, flax, and sunflower seeds, with a wholesome chew and a crust rolled in more seeds.
Sourdough BouleNaturally leavened round loaf with a blistered, deeply browned crust, an open chewy interior, and the gentle tang of a long fermentation.
Honey Wheat Sandwich LoafA soft-crumbed pan loaf made with whole wheat flour and a touch of honey, sliceable for toast, lunchbox sandwiches, and grilled cheese.

Cookies & Bars

Oatmeal Raisin CookieA rustic cookie made with rolled oats, plump raisins, and warm cinnamon, with crinkly edges and a molasses-tinged sweetness.
SnickerdoodleRolled in cinnamon sugar before baking, this crackle-topped butter cookie has a pleasant tang from cream of tartar and a puffy interior.
Peanut Butter CookieA classic crosshatched cookie made with creamy peanut butter, sandy at the edges and fudgy in the middle, with a salty-sweet finish.
Fudge BrownieDense dark chocolate squares with a shiny crackled top and a gooey, almost truffle-like center, cut generously from a full sheet pan.
