A golden butter croissant dusted with a cloud of icing sugar on a dark wooden board

Baked at dawn.
Gone by noon.

A tiny neighborhood bakehouse turning stone-milled flour, patient time and a wood-fired oven into the best morning of your day.

Our craft

Slow dough,
honest hands.

We keep it small on purpose. A single wild-yeast starter, flour milled from grain grown two counties over, and dough that's given the time it actually needs — up to three days. No shortcuts, no improver, nothing you can't pronounce.

Small batch

Baked in tiny runs so every loaf gets attention.

Wood-fired

A brick hearth for deep crust and real char.

Locally milled

Grain grown & stone-ground within 40 miles.

72-hour dough

Slow ferment for flavor that's worth the wait.

The Baker's Dozen box

Thirteen of the morning's best — croissants, danishes, buns and a surprise from the oven. Perfect for the office or a lazy Sunday. Order by 8pm for next-day pickup.
