Full menu

Breakfast Pastries & Muffins

  • Sticky BunBaked upside down in a caramel of brown sugar and butter, these yeast rolls emerge glossy and gooey, crowned with toasted pecans.
  • Blueberry MuffinA domed muffin studded with whole blueberries and finished with a crunchy sugar top; moist crumb with bright, jammy pockets of fruit.
  • Cinnamon RollYeasted dough spiraled with brown sugar and cinnamon, baked snug in a pan so the sides stay pillowy, then spread with cream cheese icing.
  • Bear ClawA slashed, claw-shaped Danish filled with sweet almond paste and topped with sliced almonds and a thin glaze; layered and buttery throughout.

Breads & Rolls

  • Honey Wheat Sandwich LoafA soft-crumbed pan loaf made with whole wheat flour and a touch of honey, sliceable for toast, lunchbox sandwiches, and grilled cheese.
  • Jewish RyeA deli-style rye speckled with caraway seeds, with a thin crackly crust and a dense, slightly sour crumb suited to pastrami or Reuben sandwiches.
  • ChallahBraided egg bread enriched with oil and a little honey, glazed for a lacquered shine; the crumb is fluffy, pull-apart, and faintly sweet.
  • Cinnamon Raisin SwirlA white pan loaf rolled with a ribbon of cinnamon sugar and plump raisins, made for thick slices of toast or French toast.

Cookies & Bars

  • Fudge BrownieDense dark chocolate squares with a shiny crackled top and a gooey, almost truffle-like center, cut generously from a full sheet pan.
  • Lemon BarA shortbread base topped with a sharp, silky lemon curd and a snowfall of powdered sugar; bright, citrusy, and cleanly sliced.
  • Black and White CookieA large, cakey drop cookie iced half in vanilla fondant and half in chocolate, a New York deli-counter staple with a lemony crumb.
  • Chocolate Chip CookieBrown-butter dough loaded with semisweet chocolate chunks, baked to crisp golden edges and a chewy center with a sprinkle of sea salt.
