A Sunday favorite, back for a limited time!
Our Cranberry Walnut Bread brings together the tartness of cranberries, the richness of walnuts, and the beautiful crust of a handcrafted loaf using Meadowlark Mill and Farm flour.
Freshly baked every Sunday, now through the end of the year only.
Stop by Verzenay and pick up a loaf while it’s in season!

Our last chef collaboration is with Arshiya from Verzenay Chicago and being a pastry chef, she went all out. We designed the Saffron Milk and Pistachio Praline truffle, a two-layer beauty with a saffron milk ganache atop a pistachio praline, dipped in bittersweet chocolate with roasted pistachios. Verzenay has some of the most delicious pastries this city has to offer, with unique flavor combinations such as raspberry rose, so we leaned on Arshiya’s favorite flavors to create this bonbon.
We have 7 boxes left among both stores! You can also snag some of the truffles from our case this week, in advance of our 20th anniversary party on Saturday.

An extraordinary experience to be part of the first culinary event at the Obama Presidential Center, in partnership with Chicago Chefs Cook, and to share our Thandai Shortbread with guests that evening.
Being in this remarkable space, hearing the personal histories of the panelists, and reflecting on Black history in America was deeply moving. It brought a renewed sense of awe and respect for the people whose courage, leadership, creativity, and perseverance have played such a significant role in shaping this country and the culture we share today.
Grateful to have been present for a moment that brought together food, history, community, and legacy in a place built to carry those stories forward.
