Holiday Specials & Schedule
The ice has been slick for skating and the lights in everyone’s windows are twinkling — thank you all for being here and helping to make this time of year sweet. Difficulty, darkness, and uncertainty abound, but being here with you is a gift. Thank you.
Tinder Hearth is up to all kinds of things over the next couple of weeks, as well as taking a bit of time off, so here is a little run down for anyone who would like to know!
FIRSTLY — We will be entirely CLOSED Dec 24th-31st. Plan accordingly! Stick some bread in your freezer! Come to pizza tomorrow!
SECONDLY — We are leaving our bakery preorder website open until 8PM tonight for orders for pick up on Saturday! Order up! Orders for pick up on TUESDAY Dec 23rd are also open right now, and will be open until 8PM on Sunday— just choose your date when selecting an item. Some specials are available for both days, others are only one or the other.
We have some very special items that we are making for the holidays — a holiday cookie box (with Ginger Molasses Rye Cookies, Salted Oat Thumbprint Cookies filled with last summer’s roasted Maine strawberries, Vanilla and Chocolate Butter Cookies with Orange Glaze, Rosemary Shortbread, and Bittersweet Chocolate Raspberry Truffles), yuletide buns (6 pack of soft buns with candied ginger, currants, cherries and holiday spices with a crackly sugar glaze on top. Packaged in a tin for easy reheating), and on Saturday a whole wheat chocolate cherry loaf, and on Tuesday an anadama loaf.
Preorder bread and pastry here.
Tuesday the 23rd will be out LAST BAKE OF 2025, and we will be baking for preorders and for the shelves out at our store locations only. The cafe will not be open that day.
THIRDLY - we are making pizza this weekend—Friday and Saturday nights, 4:30-8:00 PM—and the menu is wonderful, and there are lots of seats open for both nights still! Grab reservations here or just call us the night of—I bet we’ll have space for you! LAST PIZZA OF 2025!
FOURTHLY — brunch this Saturday, 9AM-12PM is extremely holiday-festive and full of tremendously exciting locally-sourced items! We don’t accept reservations for our normal brunches—it’s counter-service seat-yourself. So come on down!
FIFTHLY — are you still with me? We’re making it along the timeline here… after we are closed for a week (ORDER YOUR BREAD TO STOCK UP, TRUST ME) we will be REOPENING with a special NEW YEAR’S DAY BRUNCH that is reservation only. Those reservations are up on our Tock website — but I think it’s fairly well booked already, gasp! The thing is, we will also be hosting brunch two days later, on January 3rd! And that will be big and bodacious, but it’s open to everyone, no reservations as per usual. So if you’re not able to score a table for the 1st, come see us on the 3rd!
Saturday Jan 3rd will also be the day that we’re back at it with our regular bread and pastry! And we’ll be baking pizza again on Friday the 2nd and Saturday the 3rd.
We hope to see you soon. Much love to you and yours, may your hearths be warm, and your hearts warmer.
Lydia and Tim, and the crew at Tinder Hearth
