Daily Menu
Fourteen things
Everything with a price. The loaves are marked pre-order — that is not a policy to be difficult, it is on the pre-order page and it takes a minute.

Morning pastry
Laminated the day before, baked from six. Out at 7:30 and mostly gone by eleven on a Saturday.
Butter CroissantV
$4.75Three folds, proofed overnight, baked at six. The one everything else is judged against.
Pain au ChocolatV
$5.25Two batons of dark couverture. Ask for it warm before ten and it will be.
Almond CroissantV
$5.75Yesterday’s croissant, syrup, frangipane, baked again. The shop is half named after it.
Cinnamon Morning BunV
$5Laminated and rolled in cinnamon sugar. Twenty a day, weekends only.
Seasonal DanishV
$5.50Whatever the fruit is doing. Rhubarb in May, plum in September, apple when it is neither.
Bread
One starter, kept since the shop opened. Loaves are pre-order — see below for why.
Country LoafVG
$8.50Ontario hard red wheat, 20% whole grain, a 24-hour cold ferment. Pre-order by 4:00 pm the day before.
Pre-order only
Dark RyeVG
$9.50Caraway, molasses, a dense crumb that keeps a week. Better on day three than day one.
Pre-order only
Seeded SourdoughVG
$9.75Sunflower, flax and sesame through the dough and on the crust.
Pre-order only
BaguetteVG
$4.50Poolish, shaped by hand, baked twice a day. Walk in for this one — it does not keep.
Sweet things
Made in small numbers in the afternoon for the next morning. When the tray is empty that is the day.
CaneléV
$4.50Copper moulds and beeswax, two days of rest before baking. Twelve at a time.
Cake by the SliceV
$7Cut from whatever cake is on. Which one depends on the day and on us.
Rye Chocolate CookieV
$4.25Dark rye flour and 70% chocolate, salt on top. Sold warm at three most afternoons.
Pantry
The things people ask for at the till, on a shelf by the door.
Starter, Fed and ReadyVG
$6A jar of the culture with a page of instructions. Come back and tell us how it went.
Small-Batch JamVG
$11Made in the afternoon from whatever the market had. Usually three or four kinds.
Three of the four loaves are pre-order. The baguette is not, because it does not keep and we bake it twice a day anyway.
When it is gone
It is gone. We do not bake a second batch of croissants at noon to catch the people who missed the first, because a croissant baked at noon is a worse croissant. Pre-ordering is how you stop losing that race.
