Bread worth
rising for
Wild-yeast sourdough and absurdly rich pastries. Baked fresh every morning in Gardens.
This week's specials
Three limited-run bakes. Available Monday through Friday, until the trays are clear.

Almond Croissant
Double-baked butter croissant packed with frangipane and topped with toasted almonds and powdered sugar.

Country Sourdough
36-hour cold ferment with a deep caramelized crust, flour dusting, and open, tender crumb.

Fresh Berry Tart
Flaky pastry shell filled with vanilla bean custard and topped with fresh dark berries.

Proof bakery started with a simple rule: morning pastry should be an event, not a compromise. We build our menu around wild starter, real butter, and uncompromised technique. Every batch is shaped by hand and baked fresh before sunrise.
