Full menu

Breakfast Pastries & Muffins

  • 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.
  • Apple TurnoverPuff pastry folded over cinnamon-spiced apple filling into a triangle, baked until shatteringly crisp and finished with a light vanilla drizzle.

Breads & Rolls

  • Cinnamon Raisin SwirlA white pan loaf rolled with a ribbon of cinnamon sugar and plump raisins, made for thick slices of toast or French toast.
  • 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.

Cookies & Bars

  • 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.
  • Lemon BarA shortbread base topped with a sharp, silky lemon curd and a snowfall of powdered sugar; bright, citrusy, and cleanly sliced.
