Placing an Order

Can I call and put pastries on hold?

We can not hold pastries for a pickup order over the phone during our busiest days, Fri-Sun. On the weekends, it is first-come first-serve for all walk-in customers. You are encouraged to call the day before and place a pre-paid order for pastries of a dozen or more!

Can I get a cake or quiche for tomorrow?

We have a very limited number of 6” cakes in stock daily. These are first come first serve. We do not have extra quiches available for same-day orders. Please call to check on our inventory. We will try our best to accommodate an order, but due to limited space and a large amount of orders it is not always possible. Please place your order at least 72 hours in advance for guaranteed pickup.

How should I store my cake?

To keep cake the freshest, cakes are best stored in the fridge, air tight. When serving, unless instructed other wise, all cakes should be fully room-temperature when eating. If the cake is not at room temperature, the buttercream and cake will be solid as we use 100% European Butter in our products. Give the cake 4-6 hours at room temp before enjoying.

Will you mail pastries to me?

At this time we do not ship our products.

I have a restaurant or coffee shop of my own. Do you offer wholesale?

Yes! Please shoot us an email at [email protected] for more information.

Absolutely! We hare happy to host cake-tasting consultations for occasions of 50 guests or more. Our cake-tasting fee is $25.00, which can be put towards cake orders of $300.oo or more. We schedule consultations Wednesday–Sunday between 2:00 pm and 3:00 pm. Please email [email protected] to schedule your consultation and for more information.
