…Chocolate. These popular heart-shaped gems – our version of the oreo – are hard to resist. Vanilla bean butter cream is sandwiched between two chocolate butter cookies… then dipped in dark chocolate ganache and dusted with crystal sugar.

So, if chocolate is the key to your honey’s heart, these homemade “oreos” are sure to open the door… We are selling them individually, or by the 4-pack. Available now at the bakery.

Also available are Lovejoy’s “forget-them-not” shortbread cookies. These whimsical cookies are edible works of art. Make sure to *remember* your sweetie this Valentine’s Day, and bring them heart-shaped cookies from Lovejoy Bakers!

Decadent with a capital “D” is the best way to describe this salty + sweet + buttery beauty. Notice the three distinct layers, starting with a dense shortbread crust, a soft caramel center and dark chocolate ganache topping.

The crowning glory is a sprinkling of delicately-flavored sea salt. These (magic) crystals intensify the dark chocolate and rich caramel flavors. Be prepared for every bite to elicit a silent reverie — or for some, an audible moan of delight. Hmmmm… Valentine’s day is just around the corner. Click here to pre-order.

For many, the first sip of coffee is a treasured ritual. Some sip this hot drink delicately to not burn their tongues, while others add cream and drink deeply. However it goes, there are few things quite so satisfying. All particulars regarding foam, sugar, caf/decaf/half-caf, cream/no cream, rich/skinny milk, are of utmost importance to us. Because… we get it, we cherish our coffee too. From our creamy lattes to dark Americanos, all made with Stumptown beans, your treasured sip will not be disappointing.
*Also, if you’re in the mood for something new, we now serve Stumptown’s Cold-brewed Coffee Stubbies.*

For the perfect accompaniment, look amidst the bountiful array of puffy croissants, exquisite danishes and bursting muffins to the quiet scone in our pastry cabinet. Featured here is the peanut butter & jelly scone inspired by the classic sandwich. But (!) this is so much better than the gooey, stick-to-the-roof-of-your-mouth sandwich from your lunch box. The consistency of the scone — somewhere between cookie and biscuit — is the perfect companion to peanut butter, and neatly holds the berry jam center.
We invite you to make Lovejoy a habit — to start your morning with perfection. That g-o-o-d feeling will last throughout the day.
