Pain D'Avignon

To our valued customers and friends,

We have some very bad news. This past Wednesday, Nov. 7th, we had a mechanical fire in one our ovens which spread very quickly, and unfortunately our baking facility burned to the ground.

We were able to continue baking from our sister bakery in New York, but regretfully we had to make a very difficult decision to stop nearly all deliveries in order to devote all our time and energy in rebuilding and getting back on our feet as soon as possible.

We want to thank our bakers, packers and drivers for their devotion. Some of them are still working around the clock in order to supply everyone with bread. We were able to make our deliveries the morning after the fire because we know that our customers depended on us. This is thanks to remarkable efforts from our employees that without hesitation left our site and their families just a couple of hours after the incident, to get to the New York bakery. Our office staff has been working from homes talking to customers, taking orders and at the same time handling all other matters we are faced with after this devastating incident. We want to thank them and everyone else who helped and offered support, including our friends in New York.

This will be the first time in over 15 years that we will not make our rounds. Some of our customers have been with us since we opened in 1992 and some have joined us in the years to follow and we value their support and hope we'll continue our relationship in the shortest possible time.

Our dear Cape Cod customers will be able to buy our bread from our temporary location at "Amandine" located at 14 West Main Street on the West End Rotary in Hyannis.

Feel free to email or call us with your questions. In the meantime we'll post regular updates to our website. We thank you for your patience and understanding during this time.
