Good news / Bad news

Hello Everyone,
We have some devastating news, make sure you’re sitting down, or surrounded by pillows. As of Tuesday the 15th of January we’ll be making doughnuts only on Thursdays, special orders for larger quantities are still welcome. I know this seems crazy, but it’s for good reasons! We’re in the process of changing some things around on the bakery front, new recipes, some more gluten free options, and some more grab and go healthier goods. Basically, we need a breath of air and some time to bring more of the best baked goods you’ve ever had, to our counter.

On the bright side you can look forward to the following:
-Our brand new menu
-New bakery items
-Downtown’s Winterlicious Menu
-Valentines Tasting Menu

I think I’ll stop there before you flip your lid with excitement. Looking forward to seeing you soon.
