Where the leftover bread goes

Every evening the leftovers are split three ways. Here's where they go, and why we bake a little less on Mondays.

Crates of leftover loaves and pastries by the door at closing time

Even on a good day, a bakery ends with something left. Here's what happens to ours.

The community fridge

Loaves and pastries go to the community fridge at the end of the street, usually within half an hour of closing.

Tomorrow's bake

Croissants become almond croissants. Sourdough becomes bread pudding and croutons for the soup.

Baking less

We track what's left every day. That's why the board is shorter on Mondays and why the cookies come out at three, not ten.

One short email every Friday with the weekend bake list.
