After Circus Bread
The Romans called it Bread and Circus.
For me, it was Circus first… then Bread.
Small-batch naturally fermented sourdough taking bread out of empire one loaf at a time.
All organic / non-GMO flours.
This Friday’s sourdough drop from Xena’s Cafe:
🥖 6 Norwegian Heritage Loaves — $12 / each
🌾 4 Gluten-Free Wild Sourdough Loaves — $14 full / $7 half
(Optional almonds, sunflower & pumpkin seeds)
First come, first served.
Text to reserve (860.575.1166)

The starter for my traditional sourdough came from my uncle’s friend’s Norwegian aunt — and her mother before that. My gluten-free starter was passed on by my BBBFL (Best Baking Buddy For Life) three years ago.
“Jen’s gluten-free sourdough breaks the GF bread code.”
— Carlitos Suarez, Colombian Chef
“Jen’s got the best rise in town without fancy tricks like ice cubes in the Dutch oven.”
— Sean Scannell, Rhode Island Chef & Restaurateur
Every loaf helps build a future forest sourdough bakehouse & cottage bakery license.
Bread is elemental:
Earth (flour & salt), Air (wild yeast), Water & Fire (oven) + Time
Let’s Toast to That.
