From our humble beginnings as a cottage bakery in 2019 to opening our first storefront in 2021, it has been a privilege to serve the Savannah community our handcrafted scones, signature scuffins, and locally roasted coffee.

We invite you to share in our excitement as we officially cut the ribbon on our new space on Congress Street.
