Our story

Two friends, one very small oven

Wren & Whisk opened in 2017 when a pastry chef and a barista took over a former print shop and decided the neighborhood deserved a proper breakfast.

We still bake everything in-house before sunrise, buy from farms we can drive to, and know most of our regulars by their coffee order.

See you soon — Nora & Ben

  • Local first

  • Options for everyone

  • Stay a while

What people are saying

The brown butter pancakes ruined all other pancakes for me. Worth the weekend wait.

I text my order from the bus and it is ready when I walk in. Every single time.

Warm staff, great coffee, and they remembered my daughter’s allergy on our second visit.
