Why we start before dawn

We bake in the dark so the bread is ready when the neighborhood wakes. We start every morning before dawn, mix our own starter and bake in small batches, so each loaf and bun is made that day.

Baked by hand, one morning at a time

Larkspur is a neighborhood bakehouse in Portland, Maine, that bakes by hand every morning.

We bake naturally leavened sourdough, cardamom buns and morning buns. Our starter is kept alive every day, and the dough is shaped by hand.

The seasonal galettes change with the fruit we buy from local growers. Each batch is small, so the best of it goes early.
