A scratch-made bakery in Charlottesville, VA, specializing in eclectic, European-inspired pastries made with seasonal, local ingredients.
Our mission is to produce beautiful, creative, and deliciously accessible pastries for the public and to curate our space into a food destination and an anchor in the community. We seek to share the magic of the beauty and benefit that is local and seasonal ingredients.
Bowerbirds are an exceptional breed of bird from southeast Asia and Australia that are renowned for their bright blue eyes and their sculptural nests, which are decorated with arrangements of natural and man-made objects collected and assembled by the male bird.
As with the bowerbird, it is our goal to create and curate a collection of fine handmade pastries that are interesting to the foodie, yet accessible to everyone. Our shop will seek to supplement these delicious pastries with a side of locally-produced products, interesting artifacts, and, frankly, whatever catches our eye.
