About Loaf + Latte

Loaf and Latte began from a deep love for the science and craft of espresso, the slow ritual of making it, and the warmth that coffee brings to everyday moments.
What started as a passion for perfecting the balance of beans and crema soon intertwined with my love for baking, especially sourdough.
There’s something sacred about it..the rise, the patience required, the sharing at the table.
Sourdough, to me, reflects Jesus as the Bread of Life, a daily reminder of grace and provision.
It’s a truth I get to pass on to my kids as we bake together, hands dusted with flour, hearts full of gratitude.
Loaf and Latte is more than coffee and bread, it’s about slowing down, savoring creation, and sharing something good.
So, please, enjoy each bite + sip leisurely.

Sourdough Benefits
Sourdough Benefits
Anddddd because I'm a lover of science, here's some info I find fascinating:
• Easier to Digest – Natural fermentation breaks down gluten and starches, making sourdough gentler on the digestive system than conventional bread.
• Lower Glycemic Index – The long fermentation process slows carbohydrate absorption, helping stabilize blood sugar levels.
• Rich in Probiotics & Prebiotics – Live cultures and fiber feed healthy gut bacteria, supporting digestive health.
• More Nutrient Availability – Fermentation unlocks minerals like zinc, iron, and magnesium by reducing phytic acid, which can block nutrient absorption.
• Naturally Preserved – Lactic acid bacteria act as natural preservatives, keeping bread fresh longer without additives.
• Better Flavor & Texture – The slow rise develops a complex tang, chewy crumb, and crisp crust that commercial yeast can’t replicate.
• Less Processed – Made simply from flour, water, salt, and time—no artificial yeast or unnecessary ingredients.
• Rooted in Tradition – Crafted by hand, sourdough celebrates slow food, patience, and the art of baking as connection and care.
