Flora is exactly what it sounds like. A custom tiered buttercream canvas dressed in botanical floral décor, gold leaf accents, and fresh blooms that feel like they were just gathered from a garden. Every detail intentional. Every petal placed with purpose.

Every ingredient has a reason to be there. Basil jalapeño pesto for heat and brightness. Smoked mozzarella for depth. Tarragon aioli to bring it all home. The Roasted Portobello Panini, served on Bread & Cie Levain, at both our Bankers Hill and Little Italy locations.

Candied Pistachios with the perfect salty sweet crunch.

Turns out vegan and irresistible aren't mutually exclusive, and the Mushroom Melt is all the evidence you need.
Creamy vegan provolone and a deeply savory roasted mushroom mix pressed into Bread & Cie sourdough, this is plant-based eating at its most extraordinary.

What's sweeter than the honeymoon? The cake that kicks it off.
Three tiers of cloud-soft buttercream finished in 23 ¾ kt. edible gold leaf, serving fifty guests in style, because your first night as newlyweds deserves a send-off this sweet.

Some things don't need to be complicated to be extraordinary. Mahon cheese on Bread & Cie sourdough, grilled until golden and melty and everything a lunch should be. Add what you love, leave out what you don't, with your choice of organic tomato, avocado, Diestel turkey, bacon, organic tofu, and more, swap in a gluten free baguette if you need it.
Lunch your way, made extraordinarily well. Come in today! 🧀

It started with three dips. It ended with everyone asking for the recipe.
Spoiler: it's ours and we don't share it. But we do sell the platter. Kettle chips included. Serves six to eight. Order before Memorial Day weekend gets here and be the hero nobody saw coming.

Gluten free guests deserve the showstopper cake too. This Thursday we're making sure of it.
Fraisier Triple Berry brings cherry pomegranate, fresh strawberries, raspberry-blackberry buttercream, and whipped cream together on a flourless almond sponge that absolutely nobody would guess is gluten free. That's the whole point. That's Thoughtful Thursday.
