Breads
Our breads are made and baked daily using only the finest ingredients. Our ovens are imported from Italy and provide the perfect baking environment and temperature to create a delightful finished product.

The pastries that fill our showcases change daily and are the result of years of developing and revising old and new recipes. We are always striving to produce that delicious pastry that pairs perfectly with a hot cup of coffee.
Cakes
We are perhaps best known for our beautifully designed and decorated cakes. From weddings to special occasions, we work with you to provide the perfect centerpiece for your party or reception.

Coffee
Searching and tasting hundreds of coffees from local to New York, we have found a wonderful brand of coffee that will leave you wanting more!
