  • Simple pleasures. Every day.
    A good cup of coffee. A real butter croissant.
    Perfectly poached eggs. Soup.

    wildly decadent directions. Our elevated comfort food is
    dedicated to one thing: making you happy. Every day.
    BREADS BAGUETTES PASTRIES
  • Breads.
    Exquisite loaves, made from scratch.
    It’s where it all began.
    Dense delicious naturally leavened breads with a very
    delicate tang. It is the heart and soul of what we do.
    It’s who we are.
    BREADS BAGUETTES PASTRIES
  • Baguettes
    Beneath the crackly, bronzed blistered crust
    lies an explosion of air pockets.
    It’s these open holes that gives the signature Art-Is-In
    baguette its name: Dynamite.
    BREADS BAGUETTES PASTRIES
  • Pastries.
    Our pastries are our babies; we love them all.
    The essence of great pastry is the art of combining flour
    and fat. We believe there are few pleasures more sincere
    than the act of tearing into the buttery layers of paper-
    thin sheets of pastry that have bloomed into light, flakey
    golden treasures.
