Loaves of bread cooling on a rack

Menu · prices, ferment hours, allergens

Everything on the shelf, and how long it took.

Sourdough, morning pastries and made-to-order cakes. Prices are per item. Each loaf lists its ferment time and where its flour comes from.

Local flour, milled fresh

Heirloom Sonora, durum and Cappelli wheat from Central Coast farms, bought in small lots.

A slow levain

Our starter is fed cool the night before, so the dough ferments slowly and develops more flavor.

A cold night

Shaped loaves rest overnight at 38°F. That is where the tang and blistered crust come from.

Baked at 5am

The deck oven starts before dawn, so loaves are cool enough to slice when we open at 8.
