Order fresh sourdough, gluten-free cookies, and handmade scones from a local Altamonte Springs (32714) cottage bakery. Pickup available by appointment. Not everything we bake ends up here in our store. Sometimes we bake limited runs based on how much fruit or vegetable we harvested, or we might bake some experimental flavors or decorated loaves that might be for sale but don’t warrant a full time spot in the storefront. However, you can follow us on Facebook for the most up to date bakes, special offerings and more. Please check back here often as we will always be adding more new items including several Quick Breads, Scones, Cookies, T-shirts and who knows what else! You can also sign up to receive email updates that will keep you “in the knough”.
*Because our baked goods are made fresh and crafted with care, we do not offer shipping. The time and handling involved in transport can compromise both freshness and quality, and we never want your order to be anything less than perfect. All items are available for local pickup. T-shirts and artwork can be shipped and the pricing for standard ground shipping is included.
