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

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

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.
Chocolate Chip CookieBrown-butter dough loaded with semisweet chocolate chunks, baked to crisp golden edges and a chewy center with a sprinkle of sea salt.
Oatmeal Raisin CookieA rustic cookie made with rolled oats, plump raisins, and warm cinnamon, with crinkly edges and a molasses-tinged sweetness.
