Why people cross the green for it

  • Baked at five

    The first buns come out of the oven at 5:40. We bake until they're gone, which is usually around noon.

  • Coffee from down the shore

    Roasted in small batches in Madison, ten minutes away, and brewed within two weeks of roasting.

  • On the shelf when you arrive

    Order ahead and walk straight past the Saturday line. Your name is on the bag and your coffee is still hot.

I order from the parking lot and it's on the shelf before I've found my wallet. The morning bun is why I leave the house.

We come every Saturday with the kids. They know all three names and which one wants extra glaze.
Tom W., Madison
I ordered three dozen buns for a client meeting with a day's notice. They were still warm when I picked them up.

Before you come in

Where do I park?

There's free two-hour parking all around the green and a small lot behind us on Foundry Lane. The two spots by the door are kept for pickup orders.

How long does an order take?

Most orders are on the shelf in about 10 minutes. On Saturday mornings, allow 15.

What if I'm late picking up?

We hold your order until we close. If your coffee has gone cold, tell us at the counter and we'll make it again for free.

Can I bring my dog?

Yes, on the patio, and there's a water bowl by the door. Inside, we can only welcome service dogs.

Is there wifi?

Yes, it's free and the password is on the chalkboard. On weekends we ask laptops to share the big table.

What about allergies?

Our kitchen uses nuts, wheat, dairy and eggs, so we can't promise anything is allergen free. We make dairy-free and gluten-free options every day. Ask at the counter and we'll show you the ingredients.

Can you do large orders?

Yes. For a dozen buns or more, or a box of coffee for ten, call us by 2pm the day before. For thirty people or more, give us two days.
