Just like our coffee menu, our bakery case is handcrafted daily with care — combining the art of baking with the comfort of small-town café life.

Signature Pastries & Treats:

  • Muffins: Blueberry muffins baked to golden perfection — soft, buttery, and bursting with real fruit.

  • Breads: Moist banana bread with ripe bananas and a touch of cinnamon comfort.

  • Desserts: Classic affogato — creamy vanilla gelato poured over our bold Calico Blend espresso.

  • Seasonal Specials: Rotating pastries, cookies, and desserts inspired by East Tennessee flavors.

☕ Pro Tip: Ask about our limited seasonal bakes — they change weekly and sell out fast.
