Customers can find a variety of sweet and savory pastries, according to manager Rocco Baez. The selection includes salt bread, butter croissants, dark chocolate cranberry scones, oatmeal raisin cookies, biscuits with honey butter and more. The bakery is also known for its focaccia loaves.

“The salt bread is the top seller, but the spinach puffs are my favorite,” Baez says. “We’re experimenting (with flavors) every day. People like our oatmeal raisin cookies and gluten-free pastries as well.”

The bakery’s salt bread ($4.50) is available in its original flavor for now, but additional flavors, like chocolate, may come in the future.

Pastries are available for grab-and-go, and the shop offers limited outdoor customer seating.
