The Menu

From the oven, every morning.

Everything is made from scratch in small batches — real butter, unbleached flour, and a two-day sourdough starter we've kept alive for years.

Custom Cakes

Birthdays, weddings, and celebrations — designed with you and baked to order.

Sourdough & Breads

Naturally leavened loaves, baguettes, and focaccia with a crackling golden crust.

Morning Pastries

Croissants, morning buns, and Danishes laminated by hand and baked fresh daily.

Holiday Pies

Seasonal pies and tarts for the table — order ahead for the busy weeks.

Coffee Bar

Locally roasted espresso and pour-over to go with whatever just came out of the oven.

Catering & Boxes

Pastry boxes and bread baskets for meetings, brunches, and events of any size.

Our Story

A little bakery with a long starter.

Golden Crust began as a weekend market stall and grew into the Short North corner shop it is today. We still bake everything by hand, in small batches, the slow way.

  • Slow-fermented sourdough from a decade-old starter
  • Real butter, unbleached flour, no shortcuts
  • Custom cakes designed with you, start to finish
  • Order-ahead pies and pastry boxes for any event
