COMPANY DESCRIPTION

There is something beautiful in the way community forms around coffee, and good food inspires good conversation. We opened our bakery in Essex, MA with the intention of offering our neighbors a place to get a simple but beautifully made cup of coffee, a delicious treat to nibble on, and a space to come together. We believe in purposeful consumption, and hope to provide our customers a product and business approach they can feel good about supporting. We are female-owned, source local and organic, and a Surfrider Foundation Ocean Friendly Restaurant.
