Full menu

Breakfast Pastries & Muffins

  • Cheese DanishLaminated dough cradling a lightly sweet cream cheese center with a hint of lemon; golden edges give way to a rich, custardy middle.
  • Morning Glory MuffinA hearty muffin packed with shredded carrot, apple, raisins, coconut, and walnuts, warmly spiced and substantial enough to stand in for breakfast.
  • 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.

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

  • 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.
  • Black and White CookieA large, cakey drop cookie iced half in vanilla fondant and half in chocolate, a New York deli-counter staple with a lemony crumb.
