BREAD
A bakery is a living metaphor: a hearth, a place to "break bread." But metaphors don't change the world and nor rebuild a city. We wanted to make bread. But not just any bread; bread that would nourish bodies and delight the senses. In the hands of a skilled baker (of which we now employ many), the simplest of ingredients - flour, water and salt - can be transformed into food that is delicious, nutritious, affordable and universally loved.

BREAKFAST SWEETS
It began with butter! We started at the source: Julia Child. Her light, buttery brioche was Avalon's first breakfast sweets, evolving into our signature sticky buns and later our scones and biscuits.
STICKY BUN
Our classic brioche with more cinnamon butter rolled into it, baked on yet another layer of brown sugar butter until perfectly caramelized.
Plain$4.00
Pecan$4.00
SCONE
Whole cream vs. half and half: the age old scone question. We've handled it with equanimity-both, of course. Still cutting in the sweet cream butter in by hand every night on the wooden tables. We'll go to any lengths to get the light and flakey scone that would make the Irish proud.

COOKIES
Our cookies are made with the best of the best ingredients, whether they are vegan or not.
SEA SALT CHOCOLATE CHIP
It's that far-away look in the eye when customers stop us on the street; It's the moment of reverent silence when they are handed across the counter. A smaller, chewier chocolate chunk cookie with course sea salt sprinkled on top. Overall Avalon staff favorite.

VEGAN DEQUINDRE CUT TRAIL MIX

(each)$1.75
(3 cookies)$4.75
(8 pack)$8.00
VEGAN PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE CHUNK
This cookie brings out the best in both organic peanut butter and Callebaut chocolate. Sort of a fancy way to eat peanut butter out of the jar with chocolate chips sprinkled on top. We're not the only ones who do that late at night, are we?
(each)$1.75
(3 cookies)$4.75
(8 pack)$8.00
JAN'S OATMEAL RAISIN
6' tall men have been known to getting misty-eyed when we run out of these Avalon favorites. Our trademark cookies are big, soft and chewy, made with plump raisins, rolled organic oats and real butter. Don't worry, we bake extra now, so we there's always plenty. Well, almost always…

The narrative of Avalon has been told often, yet time and time again people tell us that our story has inspired them in countless ways. In the hopes that it might inspire others, we offer not only how we got here ("Our Story") and what we aspire to accomplish ("Triple Bottom Lines") but who keeps us going ("Meet Our Staff"). We consider ourselves "midwives" who have had the privilege being part of the creation of Avalon. Although it has grueling in ways we could not have imagined, Avalon continues to bless us in ways we could never have imagined as well.
May our paths be of use....
