The goods: Homemade breads: white, sourdough, whole wheat and rye. Some unusual options include the Cuban shallot boule (B145) and the cranberry dark rye sourdough (B160). They also do pantry-stocking items like six-ounce jars of all-natural nut butters like peanut and cashew, a range of pickles and exciting flavors of cream cheese like red pepper, basil and almond (B125 for six ounces). Exact offerings change every week, with new products often introduced.
The seller: Started by a financial consultant, the operation initially worked out of a residential kitchen. But the folks behind Urban Pantry have finally gotten big enough to rent out their own industrial space to keep up with demand: their weekly offerings tend to sell out within a couple of days so order quick.
The deal:
1. “Like” them on Facebook (here) to keep up with with what new products they’re doing and when they become available.
2. Email them to receive their weekly pricelists and product descriptions and to place your order.
3. They’ll write you back to confirm and set up a delivery. There’s usually a small delivery fee.
4. Pay on delivery.
