🥐✨ Start Your Friday Off Right! ✨🥐

There’s no better way to welcome the weekend CIB cinnamon roll made from our signature flaky croissant dough. 💛

Buttery layers, a perfect swirl of cinnamon sugar, and that melt-in-your-mouth texture make this the ultimate Friday morning treat. Freshly baked and irresistibly soft, it’s the kind of pastry that turns an ordinary morning into something special.

Pair it with your favorite coffee and take a moment to slow down before the weekend rush — you’ve earned it. ☕️

Stop by your Pekara Bakery and Bistro, Martinelli's Market Bakery & Deli, or Espresso Royale Cafes and grab one while they last!

🍅 Tomato Toast
Thick-cut toasted sourdough topped with mayo or ricotta, fresh garden tomatoes, flaky salt, and basil. Simple summer perfection.

🥪 Picnic Sandwiches
Layer sourdough with turkey, fresh mozzarella, pesto, greens, and veggies for the ultimate park or poolside lunch.

🥗 Panzanella Salad
Cube up day-old sourdough and toss with tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olive oil, and herbs for a bright and refreshing bread salad.

🍔 Grilled Burger Bread
Swap standard buns for toasted sourdough slices and instantly upgrade burger night.

🧄 Summer Bruschetta
Top toasted slices with tomatoes, peaches, whipped feta, or burrata for an easy appetizer everyone loves.

🔥 Grilled Bread
Brush slices with olive oil and throw them on the grill for a smoky, crispy side perfect with BBQ and summer dinners.
