A Little Bit About Bread

We are grateful for the wonderful feedback we receive from visitors to the cafe' from distant places. Simple things get noticed: the homemade hot cocoa, the light fluffy crust~less cheesecake, the local ground beef.

At almost ten months into the business, we grow into forgetfulness about what is different about the food we serve at Rock River Cafe'. We forget to mention that we use only butter and olive oil to prepare your food. We forget that people actually are unaware of those other products that may show up in a #10 can and be used to paint corporate toast in most dining choices. Then something jars our memory.

We currently feature local bread baked in three locations within about a half hour of the cafe. The bakers use quality ingredients, local employees, and create breads unique to this area. Lake Superior Wild Sourdough from Huron Mountain Bread Company rises with yeast airborne on the southern shore of Lake Superior. It's a local ingredient one wouldn't expect. We also serve "Limpu", a traditional local bread loved by Finns and Swedes alike, crafted with rye meal in the Trenary Toast bakery just down the road. Our kid friendly bread is the Amish White, baked with care from high quality Sir Galahad Flour at Sweet Dreams Bakery. Toast for breakfast? It will be painted with pure butter, and served with preserves cooked on our stove with a low sugar recipe, soft, with no pectin. We also have a beautiful marble rye, 7 grain, and Italian to choose from.

In the evening, we package those breads into one very special place, using loads of pure vanilla, and then douse it with a sweet buttery whiskey sauce...
