Bakery

We bake fresh bread daily.

 Our White Rustic aka “Morning Bread”, hot out of the oven when we open at 9  am, is a cross between a baguette and a Ciabatta.  Enjoy this crusty loaf large, small and roll size.  

Our Sourdough was one of eight  breads pictured in the March 2015 issue of BON APPETIT Magazine “... and The Best Loaves Look LIke This.”  This naturally leavened batard uses a blend of Maine grown and milled wheat and rye and King Arthur white flour. 

Every Tuesday we bake fresh loaves of Sesame encrusted Semolina Bread and Semolina Cheese Bread.  

Savory Stuffed Rolls filled with a revolving selection of savory meats and cheeses are available Friday and Saturdays.

Friday brings Sourdough Rye and a dark and crusty Fruit & Nut loaded with apricots, figs and walnuts

WE BAKE BAGUETTES EVERY DAY!

Please try our House-made CHOCOLATE SALAMI. This dessert originated in Portugal and has been embraced by many other countries, especially those with a salami making tradition, such as Italy.

This faux salami confection is not made with meat! Instead it is made with a cocoa batter filled with crushed-up cookies and nuts. It is then rolled into a log to simulate both the shape and marbling of a meat based Salami. When served it is cut into disks that can be dressed-up on a plate with a dollop of whipped cream or served simply like a cookie.

Additional bakery items include:

Crackers & Whole Wheat Crackers

Fruit & Nut Granola

Dark Chocolate Olive Oil Cakes - Gluten Free 

Breadcrumbs

Olive Oil Toasts

Dog Biscuits 

COOKIES

Double Chocolate Chunk Pecan Cookies

Ginger Molasses Cookies

Lunch Specials

BAHN MI MONDAYS

Whats Banh Mi?  

The Banh Mi sandwich is a fusion of flavors and cultures that came about during the French Colonial period in Vietnam.  As the classic French baguette, pate and mayonnaise were introduced to the region they were paired with native flavors and ingredients.

On Monday's we bake fresh Vietnamese style baguette rolls (called Banh Mi). The roll is cut in half and features local farm fresh meat, such as, our house-made pate,  or Vietnamese style smoked pork, sausage, meatballs or beef. Then generously topped with fresh cucumber slices, cilantro, shredded pickled carrots and daikon, the roll is spread with just the right amount of mayo and Sriracha sauce. Ask for “spicy” and we will add sliced Serrano chiles. We also offer a vegetarian option using grilled locally produced organic and non-GMO tofu from Heiwa of Belfast, Maine. We recommend calling a head to place your order.

MUFFULETTA THURSDAYS

Pizza by the slice: Tuesday – Saturday

We offer fresh made pizza by the slice, using our house dough and a revolving selection of fresh and house-made toppings.
