Pastry Menu

A Natural & Simple Approach to Use of Ingredients

We offer an eclectic selection of European and American Cookies, Tarts, Viennoiserie (croissants etc.) made in a shared kitchen in Gaithersburg Maryland.

We strive to use natural ingredients where possible, we use unconditionally unbleached and un-bromated flour, and our croissants and Vienoisserie are made with 82% Euro-style Butter made by Beaver Meadow Creamery from Dubois, Pennsylvania. Enjoy!!
