Before you head over

Helpful pointers on parking, bakery stock, and dietary requests for a smooth visit.

  • Plan for Peak Parking

    Parking can be tight during peak morning and lunch hours, but you will find a small park with bike racks right alongside and a playground across the street.

  • Come Early or Reserve Ahead

    Popular savory pies and fresh pastries sell down quickly by the afternoon, so call ahead if you need a specific whole cake or arrive early for the full pie selection.

  • Ask Staff About Dietary Swaps

    The kitchen and counter staff readily accommodate vegetarian, vegan, and milk requests, and will promptly fix any ordering mix-ups on savory plates.
