Every year around the holidays people start looking for the same things: something that feels special, something that shows you put thought into it, something that won't just sit on a shelf. A box of Penny Oven pastries checks all three. We might be biased, but we've also watched a lot of people's faces when they open one.
We offer half-dozen and full dozen pastry boxes, and during the holidays we build out special seasonal selections that go beyond what we carry day-to-day. This is the time of year when our bakers go a little deeper — trying things, adding flavors, making the boxes feel like something genuinely worth giving.
What Goes In the Box
It changes based on what we're making that week, but a typical holiday box might include: a couple of our signature croissants (laminated by hand, properly flaky), a pistachio bun or cinnamon roll, a seasonal fruit danish, a scone or two, and something we're testing — a new flavor, a holiday-specific item, something you won't find on the regular menu.
We also offer GF and vegan boxes for guests who need them. These aren't afterthoughts — they're built with the same care, using our gluten-free banana bread, vegan scones, and other items we actually like eating ourselves.
For Offices, Families, and Everything In Between
Pastry boxes work for almost any holiday occasion. They're popular as office gifts, as thank-you gestures, for holiday parties where you want to bring something that stands out, and as a treat for your own household during a busy season. A dozen pastries on the counter makes the whole house feel more festive.
If you're ordering for a larger event, reach out through our catering page — we can put together custom quantities and have a conversation about what works for your group.
