I wanted to take a moment to give a huge shout-out to Paul Schuhmacher . He recently refinished all of our front tables with a level of care and craftsmanship that's truly rare to find. Beyond refinishing, he also creates incredible custom pieces, and we're so excited to have him working on some wine shelves for us next. You're awesome, Paul!

Scratch-made poptarts are wildly impractical. So obviously we do it anyway.

Hand-cut dough. Fillings made from local farm fruit. Seasonal flavors.

Because the best things are the things that take the most care.

Our current flavor features blueberry filling and streusel topping. Available daily in limited quantities until sold out.

What flavors are you hoping to see this summer?
