OUR BREAD: Our bread is hand-made daily from scratch using the highest quality seasonal and organic ingredients. Our dough uses a natural fermentation process and is allowed to rise slowly giving our breads their unique texture and taste. Flour, water, salt and yeast are the basic ingredients in each of our loaves that, combined with our passion and love for great bread, makes them truly special.
OUR PASTRIES: Our pastries celebrate the seasonal bounty of the Central Coast with locally sourced fruits, vegetables and other local ingredients. Made by hand daily, our pastries are rustic yet delicious in their simplicity and reflect the best the Santa Barbara region has to offer.
KITCHEN AND SHOP: Our kitchen offers a selection of delicious breakfast items like housemade egg and biscuit sandwiches, southern-style grits or poached eggs with quinoa and sauteed greens. For lunch, we offer a selection of gourmet sandwiches and seasonal salads made to order. Picnic selections include housemade hummus and babaganoush, olives, imported cheeses and other accoutrements to accompany our freshly baked breads. Housemade jams, picked vegetables and other retail specialities make a perfect gift to bring home or enjoy along the way.
