Bread Menu

The attention we pay to every step of the bread making process is what makes our hearth-baked breads so good. Every loaf is hand-rolled or braided and our steam-injected oven assures a perfect crust. Our French  breads have a creamy, open crumb and our sourdough breads, chewy and delicious, offer a pleasant tang. On Fridays, we bake traditional challah: hand braided, golden and sweet with egg and honey.

All of our bread is baked the day it’s sold. If warm bread is your weakness, stop by or call & ask about the daily production schedule.

Baking in small batches allows us a certain production flexibility, which means that on a day-to- day basis, there may be some inspired and spontaneous decision making and baking going on in our kitchen. So please feel free to ask us about things that may not be reflected on this menu.
