Protocols and Procedures:

We offer both same-day/walk-up sales and online pre-order contactless pick-up outside of the store.  Our retail store is open Wednesday through Friday, 7 am-5 pm; Saturday & Sunday, 7 am-3 pm. Follow the guidelines posted outside of the store to enter.  Online pre-orders can be picked up between 8 am – 5 pm Tuesday through Friday and 8am-3pm Saturday and Sunday.  If you would like to place a pre-order, visit our online store.  Once we receive your order, you will be invoiced through Square.  Online orders can be picked up at the east door of the bakery.  Walk-in customers should enter at the west door.

Online Pre-Orders must be placed two days ahead of time.  So, if you place your order Thursday, it will be ready for you on Saturday.  We are no longer accepting phone orders.

Special holiday items can be ordered through TOCK.

We are not accepting Wildcard discounts at this time. Also, we have discontinued our frequent bread buyer cards until further notice.

Thank you for your patience as we continue to navigate through these challenging times.
