How mornings work here

  1. Come early for laminated things

    Croissants and kouign-amann come out at 8:00 in finite trays — lamination is yesterday’s work, so there is no “baking more” at eleven. The Saturday line knows this; now you do too.

  2. We text the list when it’s gone

    Join the sold-out list free at the counter: one text when laminated runs out, nothing else, leave anytime. Nobody should cross town for a croissant that stopped existing at 9:40.

  3. Day-olds, half price at 1:00

    Whatever yesterday didn’t sell goes on the counter at half price, labeled day-old — because that’s what it is. Yesterday’s sourdough is tomorrow’s best toast.

July on the counter

This month, while it lasts

Apricot & thyme galette

$6.50 · the slice

Palisade apricots on rough puff with a little honey and a little thyme, sliced generous.

The special changes when the fruit does; this card gets edited the same morning.

2:00 PM · Lights off

See you at 6:30.

The coffee is on at 6:25, the sourdough lands at 6:30, and the whole morning is on the board. If the case empties early, that only means it was a good day — tomorrow starts on time.
