Full menu

Breakfast Pastries & Muffins

Bear ClawA slashed, claw-shaped Danish filled with sweet almond paste and topped with sliced almonds and a thin glaze; layered and buttery throughout.
Apple TurnoverPuff pastry folded over cinnamon-spiced apple filling into a triangle, baked until shatteringly crisp and finished with a light vanilla drizzle.
Cheese DanishLaminated dough cradling a lightly sweet cream cheese center with a hint of lemon; golden edges give way to a rich, custardy middle.
Morning Glory MuffinA hearty muffin packed with shredded carrot, apple, raisins, coconut, and walnuts, warmly spiced and substantial enough to stand in for breakfast.

Breads & Rolls

Honey Wheat Sandwich LoafA soft-crumbed pan loaf made with whole wheat flour and a touch of honey, sliceable for toast, lunchbox sandwiches, and grilled cheese.
Jewish RyeA deli-style rye speckled with caraway seeds, with a thin crackly crust and a dense, slightly sour crumb suited to pastrami or Reuben sandwiches.
ChallahBraided egg bread enriched with oil and a little honey, glazed for a lacquered shine; the crumb is fluffy, pull-apart, and faintly sweet.
Cinnamon Raisin SwirlA white pan loaf rolled with a ribbon of cinnamon sugar and plump raisins, made for thick slices of toast or French toast.

Cookies & Bars

Black and White CookieA large, cakey drop cookie iced half in vanilla fondant and half in chocolate, a New York deli-counter staple with a lemony crumb.
Chocolate Chip CookieBrown-butter dough loaded with semisweet chocolate chunks, baked to crisp golden edges and a chewy center with a sprinkle of sea salt.
Oatmeal Raisin CookieA rustic cookie made with rolled oats, plump raisins, and warm cinnamon, with crinkly edges and a molasses-tinged sweetness.
SnickerdoodleRolled in cinnamon sugar before baking, this crackle-topped butter cookie has a pleasant tang from cream of tartar and a puffy interior.
