Full menu

Sourdough loaves

Whole wheat sourdoughSourdough made with a high share of stone-milled whole wheat, giving a denser crumb and a sweet, toasty grain flavor.
Seeded sourdoughSourdough loaded with sesame, flax, sunflower and pumpkin seeds inside and out, so every slice toasts up crunchy.
Rye sourdoughTangy loaf made with a good portion of rye flour, darker and more aromatic, with a moist, slightly sticky crumb.
Kalamata olive sourdoughCountry sourdough studded with briny Kalamata olives and a hint of herbs; savory enough to eat with nothing but olive oil.

French & Italian breads

FougasseLeaf-shaped Provençal flatbread with cut-out openings, often flavored with herbs or olives, crusty all over.
BaguetteLong, slender French loaf with a crackling, deeply browned crust and a light, cream-colored crumb; best on the day it's baked.
CiabattaFlat, rustic Italian loaf from a very wet dough, with a thin, crisp crust and large irregular holes ideal for sandwiches.
Rosemary focacciaDimpled, olive oil–soaked flatbread topped with fresh rosemary and flaky salt; crisp underneath and pillowy inside.

Japanese milk breadUltra-soft, fluffy sandwich loaf made with a cooked flour paste, staying moist and springy for days.
