Frequently asked questions.
Frequently Asked Questions for our Storefront
Please note - we will try to update these as we grow our storefront. All of these are up to date as of 7/28/26.
1.
What days are you open/do you plan to open up more days?
6.
7.
We are currently open Fridays and Saturdays as of the end of July. We do plan to expand and also offer Sundays by mid August and hopefully also Thursdays soon, along with earlier open hours on Thursdays and Fridays. We have no plans to expand beyond 4 days a week at the moment.
What is your menu?
As we are training our staff up, our menu has been changing more than usual. We are trying every week to keep our base menu that you see here on our website, but will be occasionally missing items such as scones and hand pies. We will soon be back to offering the base at both the market and shop. Aa a note, all cold items have been storefront only at the moment but we hope to get them back to the market soon. Also, our much loved ham & cheese croissants will be a store only item.
In addition to the base menu, we have been offering a few specials every bake day and are working on getting them posted the day before on Instagram again.
2.
Do you serve coffee/drinks?
We do! We are still expanding our menu but we currently are grinding beans from DayDrink for both our drip coffee and espresso. As of 7/25 - we are only offering cold options as we train our FOH on drinks. We now offer:
Coffee: Drip Coffee (Hot or cold), Iced Latte, Iced Americano, Espresso
Tea: Housemade Iced Tea - Using tea from Gong Fu in Des Moines, Coming 7/31 - Chai Tea
Coming soon: Tea from Gong Fu, hot drink options
3.
Are you hiring?
4.
As of 7/28 - we are considering ourselves fully hired for bakers and FOH staff. We will reassess in a few weeks if we need more FOH staff but we do not anticipate having room for more bakers at the moment.
We are currently only seeking a part time dishwasher to assist us on Fridays-Sundays in the AM in the shop (potential hours of 7AM-noon but some flexibility). Ability to grow hours or join other parts of our team if desired. Pay starting at $15/hour.
Do you plan to serve bread?
5.
Will you open up catering/Can I order…?
We were incredibly excited for our expansion into our storefront and the plan to add bread into our menu. Unfortunately during our construction, the large walk-in cooler that we were excited about and planning to help us expand had to be demolished and we did not have the budge to replace it. Without it, we are currently struggling to handle expanding to 4 days a week with the menu that our long time customers are expecting. We are hoping to be able to rebuild another large walk in again for our space when we have the funds! But we are planning to try and get English muffins and maybe some bread going just to be able to offer sandwiches for lunch time at our shop.
Will you offer savory options?
At the moment, we have no plans to open up catering. My first and foremost goal is to keep growing the days of the week we are open and make sure that we have the ability to support and supply enough baked goods for us to do that. As mentioned above, our biggest concern is our lack of refrigeration space, along with us having enough time in the day to be able to do so in a way that makes sense for us to be spending the time on smaller orders. My plan is eventually when we do our daily/weekly specials, is to leave some cakes or pieces as “whole” so that you would have the option to pick up some larger items for gatherings if desired. As mentioned on this website, we won’t reply to email request for us to do orders.
At the moment we plan to always offer fresh Ham & Cheese croissants everyday and are working on bringing back savory scones every day (right now just Saturdays). Once we get our new AM bakers in and trained up, we plan to do another savory croissant option and are hoping to offer some grab and go croissant sandwiches for lunch time. Many things in the works - just need to get more employees trained to expand! But at this time we do not plan to offer a “cafe style” menu with items made to order. Our focus is on savory baked goods and croissants, and some smaller sandwiches later.
Wholesale Partner
You can still find our goods over at our partner DayDrink on Fridays and Saturday. We are planning to add back in Sundays soon!
We are not planning to take on any more wholesale accounts until we have trained more staff and can then access our needs.
Notes about allegies:
If you have any allergen concerns - please let us our front of house know so that we can better assist you.
Please note that while we do list each individual products allergen and ingredients lists here on our website and on their labels at the farmers market, we use wheat, dairy, soy, eggs, and nuts on a daily basis in our kitchen and cannot guarantee that cross contamination has not occurred. We absolutely do not recommend consuming any of our products if you have a severe allergy to any one of those items (especially wheat as it is impossible) as cross contamination will occur in our kitchen and especially in our shared glass pastry case at the market.
Gluten:
We only recommend our ‘gluten friendly’ products to those who are avoiding gluten due to dietary reasons and not for anyone who has a gluten allergy or especially celiac disease. Even with thorough cleaning, wheat can never be eliminated from our kitchen as a contaminate.
Vegan Items:
In 2025 we introduced a whole new line of vegan items for our customers to shop. We do make an effort to keep these items separate from any of our other items at the market and during our home bakes to lessen any chance of cross contamination but risks can still exist.
Nuts:
Beyond the items that we produce that physically contain nuts, you will notice that we list nuts as a possible allergy concern for any of our items made with chocolate as all of the chocolate that we use (Valrhona, Callebaut, Cacao Barry) always comes with 'possible trace nut contact allergen' listed on their packaging (as they are produced in the same facilities that also make their nut products such as nut pastes and pralines). This is why nuts are listed for both the chocolate croissant and all of our cookies when there is no physical nuts in the recipe. If you have a nut allergy, especially during the summer when we have all of our products in the same case together, we do not recommend consuming any of the products from our bakery.
Note on pan sprays: If soy is listed as an allergen in the recipe, we use PAM spray which is a mix of vegetable and soy oils. If there is not soy in the recipe, we use either olive oil or pure avocado oil.
