Cream scones and fresh-baked pies

As the weather warms, our bakers churn out a fresh variety of options to savor al fresco at your potlucks, picnics and parties. Our cream scones make the perfect base for a delightful strawberry shortcake or an ideal vessel for summertime fruit compote and Devonshire cream. They’re baked fresh and crafted from organic flour and sugar for pure satisfaction. You’ll also find a trio of 9-inch fresh-baked pies to try this summer: sweet and tangy Strawberry Rhubarb Pie, a light and lovely, crumb-topped Pear Cream Pie, and our classic Apple Pie, each baked with organic flour and sugar.

Local energy beverages

We’re pleased to add two new local beverages to our line-up in time for summer. Stay revved up for warm weather fun with Golazo, a Seattle-based line of non-GMO sports drinks formulated to hydrate or energize. Look for zesty flavors including Mango-Limon, Jamaica Punch and Mandarina.
