Why Copper Whisk

Real butter. Slow dough. No shortcuts.

We bake the way our grandparents did, with a few more ovens and a lot more coffee.

  • Sourdough fermented for 36 hours for deeper flavor
  • All-butter pie crusts rolled by hand every morning
  • Fruit from farms within 50 miles when it’s in season
  • Whatever doesn’t sell goes to a local food pantry
