Review from Google · view on GoogleDelicious baked goods! I always pick them up at the University District Farmers Market but I'll have to go check out their physical store some time. The focaccia is awesome!

Review from Google · view on GoogleYou get what you pay for! Their bread is delicious and healthy and made from exceptional organic flour which is milled next door. Not inexpensive but if you care about what goes in your body nothing here will disappoint you!! Highly recommend!! This is not a restaurant. There's a walk up window and they fill your order from the beautiful baked goods you can see.

Review from Google · view on GoogleThe first thing that hit me was the smell of onion baking in bread. That, and the kind help from the young man behind the counter window, led me to order way more than planned. I asked his advice and he gave me every reason to trust that his suggestions would more than meet expectations, from the molasses and chocolate shortbread cookies, to the demi-baguette and fresh-out-of-the-oven, hearty double-rye loaf (usually cooled and available by 2 pm). They use Cairnspring Mills flours, which is a local company we use too.

Review from Google · view on GoogleWalk-up window for the most exquisite baked goods. I discovered them a few years ago when I took a baking class at King Arthur which is around the corner. I think I’ve tried everything (gasp!) and my favorites are the granola (seriously—I ship it to friends), chocolate shortbread cookies (omg), roasted onion bread, sour dough baguette, … well, it’s all freaking delicious! Sometimes there’s a specialty bake that you cannot go wrong with —cardamom cake, strudel, olive focaccia.
