When we told Tess, who was recently promoted to Bakery Manager, that she could add a namesake to our menu, she immediately thought of strawberry shortcake. Tess wanted to show people what a true shortcake is all about. It is flaky and buttery and just a tad sweet. And it makes the perfect base to showcase our local and organic strawberries. Tess also added one distinct touch: she serves it with a homemade bourbon whipped cream.

We’ll be selling it at the Tuesday night market in Sonoma and the Wednesday pop-up cafe in San Rafael during peak spring strawberry season, so come by and try it!
