At Chef & the Baker, we’re all about butter! Butter isn’t a garnish here, it’s the whole point. Watch it melt into a warm croissant, straight out of the case. Some things don’t need a trend to be worth obsessing over. 🧈

Chef Rosana’s French toast, straight from her brunch class: thick-cut brioche dipped in a cinnamon-egg batter, pan-fried to a golden crust in butter. 🍞✨

Whisk. Dip. Sizzle. Flip. Finish with strawberry sauce and a cloud of chantilly cream, or go strawberry-shortcake style and stack it all together.

From our kitchen to your table. 🥞

Our cinnamon bun got into the apple fritters again. Warm spice, soft swirl, apple in every bite. The kind of fall pastry worth fighting over the last one for.
