Questions we get asked a lot

Do you make custom cakes?

Yes. Call us with your date, serving count and a few ideas. More notice gives us the best chance to make exactly what you have in mind.

Can I reserve bread or pastries?

Yes. Daily quantities are limited, so calling ahead is the best way to make sure your favorite is waiting.

Do you serve breakfast and lunch?

We do. The cafe serves breakfast, lunch, coffee and bakery treats. Call before a special trip to confirm today’s hours and menu.

Do you have gluten-free options?

Our selection changes. Please call before visiting so the team can explain what is available and discuss ingredient or cross-contact concerns.
