Frequently Asked Questions

  • Sourdough is a type of bread made using a live starter, which naturally ferments to create beneficial prebiotics and antioxidants. This fermentation process not only develops its signature flavor but also makes the bread easier to digest, improves nutrient absorption, and helps break down gluten.

  • Unfortunately, we are not able to offer gluten-free products. Because we work extensively with wheat flour, gluten is present in our bakery environment and can become airborne during the baking process. This makes it difficult to safely prevent cross-contamination without a completely separate facility.

  • Yes. Our kitchen uses nuts such as hazelnuts and almonds in some of our pastries, including items like Nutella buns, hazelnut croissants, and almond croissants. While we take great care in our baking process, we want guests with nut allergies to be aware that cross-contamination is possible. If you have questions about specific ingredients or allergens, our team is always happy to help.

  • Charnuchka, also known as black caraway seeds, has a complex, earthy flavor with notes of onion, oregano, and black pepper. It is commonly used in a variety of cuisines, and we incorporate it into our rye breads and other savory baked goods.

  • No. We use a minimal number of ingredients and avoid preservatives, stabilizers, and unnecessary additives. Our goal is to keep things simple and fresh, creating the best-tasting and highest-quality bread possible.

  • We recommend storing bread at room temperature in a paper bag or bread box for short-term use. Avoid refrigeration, as it can dry out the bread. For longer storage, freezing is the best option.

  • Because our bread is made without preservatives, it is best enjoyed within 3-4 days. After that, we recommend toasting or refreshing it in the oven.

  • To bring your bread back to life, lightly sprinkle it with water and warm it in a 350°F oven for 5–10 minutes. This helps restore the crust and enhances the flavor.

  • Yes! Most of our breads freeze and defrost very well. We recommend wrapping the loaf in plastic wrap or storing it in an airtight bag before freezing, and allowing it to thaw completely when ready to enjoy.
    Please note that baguettes and pastries are best enjoyed fresh and are not ideal for freezing.
