Denis is the artist behind the bread and pastry flavors and shapes and the warm and welcoming hospitality you feel upon entering the shop; where you can also take home a variety of olive oils (for bread dipping), toasted flatbreads, and full-bodied European coffee. The combined aromas will lure you in from the sidewalk! We look forward to serving you.
