What’s Baking, Week of Feb 24th (Donut Day!)

Really?

Well, if that isn’t the most Massachusetts bait-and-switch ever. One minute it’s “40s all week,” the next it’s full-blown Blizzard. I believed my weather app last week when it said it was going to be in the 40s all week. I hate liars. Lol.

❄️ We Are Closed Today

If you stopped by, we were closed due to the ongoing Snow Emergency in Cambridge.

That means no parking on major streets — and frankly, the city hasn’t plowed many of the sidewalks they’re responsible for (as I discovered while walking my dogs and climbing several small mountains of snow).

But come on in this week and let us cheer your dimming enthusiasm for this winter slog.


🎭 Purim Is Coming!

We’ll have Hamantaschen starting Thursday:

• Chocolate
• Apricot
• Strawberry
• Poppy

We sold a lot last year — with many repeat customers (as in, coming back a few days later). Best to get your order in early! We’ll have some for walk-ins, but pre-orders always get priority if we’re running low.


💘 Saturday Special: DONUTS!

Don’t forget — our Dixie Donuts help save the lives of dogs and cats.
100% of the purchase price is donated to a rescue that is specifically saving an about-to-be-euthanized animal.

All flavors are available DF and Vegan.
The Dixie is also available in Dairy.

Flavors:
• Glazed
• Cinnamon Sugar
• Raspberry Rose Glazed
• Cookie Dough
• Dixie Donut: Chocolate Truffle Cream with Salted Caramel

✨ All but the cream-filled freeze beautifully — stock up!


🍞 Bread This Week

Challah (DF) — perfect for winter morning French toast or grilled cheese
Vegan Sourdough (Square, Boule & Rolls) — made with our 17-year-old starter

✨ All freeze beautifully.


🥧 Savory Subscription — Now Live!

One of the best ways to support us consistently.

How it works:
• One savory meal per full week of the month
• Each meal serves 2 people (or 2 meals)
• 6-week subscription, with 18 weeks to choose from

Perks:
✨ 20% off regular price
✨ Extra 10% off any in-store purchase on pickup day

Full details on our website under Order → Menu.


🥯 Bagels Are Now Weekly!

Bagels are available every Friday by preorder, with limited in-store quantities.

We’ll still host one dedicated Bagel Week each month (like Donut Thursdays). If demand keeps growing, we may add more days!
