What We’re Known For
House-made Bread
The basic idea of fresh homemade bread is what got Nosh launched in the first place. We started selling bread at the local Farmer’s Market, and it quickly grew into an electic from-scratch restaurant.
Plant-Based Food
Wicked Whisk offers fresh handcrafted, nostalgia-driven plant-based food & handmade baked goods. (There are even gluten-free options!) I’m bringing back all the best of Gen X’s after-school snacks and treats but with a plant-based twist!
Custom Crafted Meats
Corsello Butcheria is an authentically modern Roman style old world butcher. Here you get high quality, locally sourced, pasture and humanly raised meat from small family farms with an authentic Italian twist!
From Scratch Bakery
Whipping Up Delectable Desserts, Cakes, and Cookies Made with Love and Artfully Crafted from Scratch.
Our confections are lovingly prepared using only the finest, freshest ingredients to guarantee exceptional quality.
Fresh Brewed Coffee
Monsoon is an environmentally-conscious community coffee roaster with the goal of helping people drink better coffee both at home and on the go.
Freeze-Dried Snacks
We provide the freshest freeze-dried fruits, vegetables, and meals possible so that 97% of nutrients stay intact. Our meals are made in-house and can be easily rehydrated.
