Café, Bakery & Store
A baker's paradise.
Café
We believe that good food starts with good ingredients, and we carefully select the best of the best. We support local farms. We search for creameries with the finest dairy. We source responsibly raised meat from nearby butchers. We bring unique, creative, small-batch specialty ingredients to Vermont. Our pasta is fresh. Our honey is local. Our sandwiches and salads are created to highlight the best of the region, from fresh Vermont basil in our pesto to sweet Vermont berry jam on our toast. We're excited to share a taste with you.
Bakery
The King Arthur Bakery offers premier artisan bread, pastries, cakes, cookies, pies, and creative seasonal specialties using local products from our Retail Store in Norwich, Vermont. We bake with a minimum amount of mechanization, preferring instead to rely on traditional methods; our hands, our skill, and top-quality ingredients.
Retail Store
Our inviting store is the destination to find ingredients and baking tools, sample recipes and mixes from our demo kitchen, curl up with a cookbook, or to just wander and get inspired. We have everything a baker could want or need. Whether you’re new to baking or a seasoned expert, our passionate and knowledgeable team of bakers can help you find what you’re looking for or provide answers and tips for any question you have.
