Full menu

Breakfast Pastries & Muffins

  • Cinnamon RollYeasted dough spiraled with brown sugar and cinnamon, baked snug in a pan so the sides stay pillowy, then spread with cream cheese icing.
  • 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.

Breads & Rolls

  • 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.
  • Parker House RollsFolded dinner rolls with a feathery crumb and golden tops brushed with melted butter and flaky salt, a fixture on holiday tables.

Cookies & Bars

  • Lemon BarA shortbread base topped with a sharp, silky lemon curd and a snowfall of powdered sugar; bright, citrusy, and cleanly sliced.
  • 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.
