WELCOME

In 1993, we opened our bakery with the goal of bringing to Philadelphia the amazing breads we had tasted in Europe. And after 15 years, our bread is still hand shaped and baked using centuries-old techniques. Most of the products in our stores are made by local farmers, cheesemakers and chefs also trying to preserve artisan traditions.

Please feel free to contact us at any time. We love hearing from you... your suggestions continue to shape what you see on our shelves.

Thank you for your interest, and enjoy.
