Small-batch pastries, sourdough breads, and seasonal sweets — made by hand before sunrise, every single morning.
We use stone-ground flour from a fourth-generation mill in Vermont, free-range eggs from a farm 12 miles away, and cultured butter imported from Normandy. Everything else is water, salt, time, and care.
Our sourdough starter — named "Margot" — has been going since the day we opened. She's the backbone of everything we bake.
48-hour lamination, 73 layers, impossible to eat just one

$12.00Brioche dough, cardamom sugar, honey glaze, candied orange
$5.50Our ovens run from 4 AM. Everything you buy was made that morning.
85% of our ingredients come from within 100 miles of our bakery.
Weddings, birthdays, corporate events — we bake for any occasion.
Our menu rotates with the seasons so there's always something new.
Founder Elise Bernard grew up watching her grandmother bake every Sunday morning in a farmhouse kitchen in Lyon, France. When Elise moved to the States in 2012, she brought those recipes with her — and spent four years perfecting them for a new audience.
Golden Crust opened in 2016 with six items on the menu, a single oven, and a line out the door on day one. Today the bakery serves over 400 customers on a busy Saturday, but every item is still mixed by hand.
We cold-ferment our sourdough for at least 36 hours. Good things take time.
No additives, no improvers, no shortcuts. Read our label — it's just food.
We donate 50+ loaves weekly to a local shelter. Every purchase helps.
Our bakers train for six months before leading their own station.
