“We created our Hillsdale bakery to be a warm, inviting and easy space to spend time enjoying delicious food. The kitchen is wide open by design: we want you to see who we are and be part of what we do. We’re proud that the materials we used in the renovation of the former Hillsdale Pastry Shop are largely recycled (and) sustainable… Our small batch philosophy and attention to quality are values shared by friends whose farms provide us with local, seasonal and mostly organic product.”

“Our products are made as much as possible from local and seasonal ingredients. Everything we bake is fabricated in-house. There are no shortcuts for best quality. We believe you can taste the difference attention to quality and respect for the work produces, and that it’s worth a few cents more. We do this because we can’t imagine doing anything else with the same passion. And we believe strongly in giving people alternatives to homogenized, mass produced foods that have no soul.”
