Frequently Asked Questions

Are your savory egg tarts the same as quiches?

Close, but waaay better!

These tasty little savory tarts are chock full of ingredients — with just a bit of egg & cream to bind it all together. Not the bland eggy quiches you may have tasted in the past. Take some home, or ask us to heat them here for you — it only takes a couple of minutes.

What’s with the dinosaurs?

Our owners, Michael & Brian, began their business at the local farmers' markets. They wanted an item that would appeal to the kids at the market, so they developed the dinosaur donut ... a baked, cinnamon donut flavored muffins made with a touch of nutmeg (don't tell the kids!) — think cider doughnut in the shape of a dinosaur -- buttery, cinnamony goodness. When we opened our retail shop at 3 Liberty Street in Newburyport, the dinosaurs kind of took on a life of their own.

​

What’s a morning bun?

Morning buns are made with croissant dough that’s light, flaky, and buttery, and filled with cinnamon and a touch of orange zest. They are sprinkled with sugar, and peel apart in delicate, fluffy layers. It’s what would happen if a croissant and a cinnamon bun had a torrid affair.
