OUR NEWEST FLAVOR DROP
Wisconsin blue cheese + Californian walnuts = Addictive. Our newest sourdough flavor is here - the Blue Cheese & Walnut Sourdough.
Our sourdough team incorporates almost a 1/3 pound each of large chunks of blue cheese and walnut halves into our newest flavor drop. It's become a staff favorite as we've been churning out test loaves leading up to launch day. I can't tell you how many times I've heard "I don't even like blue cheese....but THIS IS GOOD!"
We use walnut halves so that you get big chunky bites of walnut. And we keep our blue cheese in large chunks so they melt and create flavor bombs with every bite.
Launches this Thursday, May 15th. Available for pre-order beginning Wednesday afternoon.
OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK
7a - 2p
In a rush and have a pre-order? Just call us at the bakery when you arrive, and we'll bring your order out to your car with a smile! We call it IZOLA Drive By.
THE IZOLA MARKET IS OPEN
We're heading into my favorite time of year, when our local farms are brimming with the sweetest, juiciest, most mouth watering produce. And so I wanted to share with you all the best of the best that we're tasting - you'll now find one time buys at the IZOLA counter, what I'm calling IZOLA Market. Available only while supplies last!
This week (beginning late Thursday morning) we will have STRAWBERRIES from Tamai Family Farms.
When people ask me if I like strawberries, I usually say "No." It's a bit like when I was thinking of opening a bakery (the future IZOLA) and Jenny asked me to try making croissants. I said, "No. I don't like croissants." The truth of the matter is, I just had never had a GOOD croissant before. Fortunately I wisened up, tried my hand at baking croissants and lo and behold, I love croissants! Croissants that are hot from the oven that is.
That brings me to the Tamai strawberries - I don't like strawberries because most of them were picked too soon, they are sour, they have too much of a bite. But, I LOVE the Tamai strawberries because they taste like what a strawberry should taste like - sweet, succulent, and that memorable smell just hits you as you bring it up to your mouth.
Top it with a little homemade whipped cream. YUM....
Available for walk-ins purchase only, and only while our very limited supply lasts!
IZOLA LAND
The uber talented Chef Lane is at it again!
For the holidays she brought us the adventures of Crispy the Croissant at Thanksgiving, then again a tear-jerker at Christmas. If you have not read these two stories, you must...but be ready to be taken on an emotional roller coaster ride!
This month she surprised Jenny and me with the most amazing gift - a one-of-a-kind board game called IZOLA Land. It is literally a work of art. Plus she has created details that just make me laugh out loud -
Instead of gingerbread men game pieces, they are little Jeffrey's with scarves tied on!
The cards we draw to determine how many steps back or forward are hysterical, personal and just allow us to laugh a little about everything it takes to run a bakery - like sourdough mixers going caput, accidentally overselling on product, making sure we ask if an order if for here or to go, does our macchiato come out beautifully, is our produce fresh?
We can't wait to have a game night with the team and see who comes out on top!
Thank you thank you thank you Chef Lane for gracing us with your beautiful talent...
