About Us:
We’re a mountain town bakery focused on creating curated sourdough loaves and high-quality laminated pastries — think hybrid croissants (like our blueberry sumac cruffin from August menu filled with a cardamom chantilly and berry compote), pillowy focaccia sandwiches, and all the best pastries that require time, care, and innovation.
