Our Story

Three Generations of Baking Excellence

In 1987, our grandmother Maria opened a small bakery on Maple Street with a single wood-fired oven and a dream. Armed with nothing but her mother's sourdough starter and an unwavering commitment to quality, she began a tradition that continues to this day.

Today, we still use that same sourdough starter—now over 70 years old—and honor Maria's philosophy: real bread takes time. No shortcuts, no preservatives, just flour, water, salt, and patience.

From Our Community

The sourdough here has completely ruined me for any other bread. I drive 30 minutes just to get my Saturday loaf.

Their croissants remind me of my grandmother's kitchen in Lyon. Absolutely authentic and made with such care.
