The name
A name is chosen for what it commits you to, not for what it decorates. This one speaks of a house built with care, one that takes the time it needs and leaves nothing to chance. It is a standard we hold ourselves to before promising it to anyone.
The craft
Everything is made on site. Doughs are worked in the morning and the ovens run through the day rather than once and for all: an eleven o'clock baguette is not a six o'clock baguette reheated. Pastries come out in small batches, and order cakes are discussed one at a time.
The idea
A neighbourhood house run like a grand one. The daily bread and a wedding cake leave the same kitchen, made by the same hands, from the same flour. It is the only way we know to hold both.
