Scratch Bakery

Anything offered on our standard menu (i.e. chocolate chip cookies, brownies & bakery pastries like muffins) can be ordered as late as the day before. For everything else, especially custom flavors, at least a one-week lead time is customary. Please give us as much advanced notice as possible!

We cater and deliver to events located in Essex, Ipswich, Hamilton, Gloucester, Rockport, Manchester-by-the-Sea, Beverly, Wenham, Rowley, Newburyport, Danvers and the greater Boston area! Planning something farther out? Reach out. We're flexible and will make every effort to help.

The short answer is yes. Our baker predominantly uses Bob’s Red Mill GF baking flour in all of our bakery products (see below for the ‘why!?). Production wise is it much easier to make everything with the same base - we are a small kitchen and to have two separate production times for GF and non-GF would make it very difficult for our one baker to split her schedule.

That being said, if a customer absolutely requires product to be made with regular non-GF flour we will try our best to accommodate in our schedule. Please reach out to discuss.

All catering orders must be paid no later than 24 hours prior to delivery or pick-up.

All orders are subject to local/state meals tax of 7% unless a tax exemption certificate is provided. In addition, a 15% service charge will be added to all orders.

For orders over $1,000 paid by credit card, a 3% convenience fee may also be applied. Checks may be mailed to PO Box 745, Essex, MA 01929.

We are committed to helping guests with dietary needs and restrictions. Please tell us about any allergies or sensitivities when you order so we can take extra care.

We offer a range of allergen-friendly options, including many gluten-free items in our bakery. However, we are not a dedicated gluten-free facility. Our kitchen and bakery handle shared equipment and ingredients, so cross-contamination is possible. For severe allergies or medically necessary gluten avoidance (such as celiac disease), please be cautious and consider whether our environment meets your safety needs.

If you have specific concerns, contact staff before ordering and we will explain how items are prepared and what precautions we can take. We aim to be helpful and transparent but cannot guarantee the absence of cross-contact.
