Welcome to Lemon & Brioche: The Next Chapter of Our Family Bakery
Updated: Oct 5
If you’ve been following us as Baked by Olivia, you may have noticed a new name beginning to appear. We’re excited to officially welcome you to Lemon & Brioche; the next chapter of our family bakery.
Baked by Olivia started with a teenager who loved to bake and a family willing to help her turn that love into something real. In the beginning, it was mostly cookies, cinnamon rolls and a small family pop-up. We really didn’t know how much it would grow or how many people in our community would show up to support us.
Over time, our menu grew, the orders got bigger and more members of our family found themselves in the kitchen. What began as Olivia’s baking project gradually became something all of us were working on together. On any given week, you may find us mixing cookie dough, rolling cinnamon rolls, feeding our sourdough starter, laminating croissants, packaging orders or setting up the bakery stand.
Baked by Olivia will always be part of our story. Olivia is still the reason all of this began. We simply reached a point where we needed a name that reflected what the bakery had become; and gave us room for everything we hope it can become in the future.
That is where Lemon & Brioche came from.
The name feels bright, warm and welcoming, with just a touch of something special. It represents the bakery we are building: familiar homemade treats alongside beautiful breads and pastries, all made with care. We want our food to remind you of something your mom or grandma may have made, while still giving you the opportunity to try flavors and treats that feel new and exciting.
What Is Staying the Same?
Although the name is changing, the heart of the bakery is not.
We are still the same family behind the stand. We’re still baking in small batches and making our products from scratch. You’ll still find the oversized cookies, soft cinnamon rolls and other customer favorites that helped us grow.
We will continue focusing on generous portions, quality ingredients and baked goods that feel homemade; because they are. We want every order to feel like something made especially for you, whether you’re picking up one cookie or ordering treats for an entire celebration.
What Is New?
Lemon & Brioche gives us room to continue expanding beyond the treats that started it all.
Along with our signature cookies and cinnamon rolls, you’ll see more fresh sourdough, flavored loaves, focaccia, bagels, croissants, brioche pastries, hand pies, brownies and seasonal desserts. Some products will be available every week, while others will rotate depending on the season and what we’re excited to make.
We’re also working on making ordering easier. Our new website will allow customers to see what’s available, preorder their favorites and select a pickup time. We’re also preparing to add local delivery options in the future.
Come Visit Us
You can visit our home bakery pop-up in Lodi:
Wednesday: 4:30–8:00 PM, Friday: 4:00–8:00 PM, Saturday: Beginning at 9:00 AM while supplies last
Our selection changes throughout the week, and some of our most popular items sell out quickly. Preordering is the best way to make sure your favorites are waiting for you.
Thank You for Growing With Us
We would not be moving into this next chapter without the customers who have supported Baked by Olivia from the beginning. Every order, recommendation, social-media share and visit to our stand has helped this little bakery become something much bigger than we originally imagined.
We’re excited to share more of the process with you here on the blog—from new flavors and seasonal menus to behind-the-scenes baking and the very real experience of building a family business.
Welcome to Lemon & Brioche. We’re so glad you’re here, and we can’t wait to show you what comes next.
The All-Time Favorite: Croissant
A Classic French Delight
The croissant is perhaps the most iconic pastry in the world. Originating from Austria and popularized in France, this buttery, flaky treat has become a staple in bakeries everywhere. The secret to a perfect croissant lies in the lamination process, where layers of dough and butter are folded together multiple times to create its signature texture.
Why Our Croissants Stand Out
At our bakery, we take pride in using high-quality ingredients and traditional techniques. Our croissants are made with organic flour, real butter, and a touch of sea salt, resulting in a rich flavor and a light, airy texture. We offer a variety of fillings, including:
Almond Cream: A sweet almond paste that adds a nutty flavor.
Chocolate: Rich dark chocolate that melts beautifully inside.
Ham and Cheese: A savory option for those who prefer something less sweet.
Perfect Pairings
Enjoy your croissant with a cup of freshly brewed coffee or tea. The combination of flavors enhances the experience, making it a perfect breakfast or afternoon snack.
The Sweet Sensation: Danish Pastry
A Treat with a Twist
Danish pastries are known for their intricate shapes and delightful fillings. Originating from Denmark, these pastries are made from a similar laminated dough as croissants but often include a sweet glaze or icing.
Our Signature Danish Varieties
We offer a range of Danish pastries that cater to different tastes. Some of our best sellers include:
Cream Cheese Danish: A rich cream cheese filling topped with a light glaze.
Fruit Danish: Seasonal fruits like strawberries and blueberries nestled in a buttery pastry.
Cinnamon Roll Danish: A twist on the classic cinnamon roll, with a flaky exterior and sweet cinnamon filling.
Enjoying Danish Pastries
Danish pastries are perfect for brunch gatherings or as a sweet treat during the day. Pair them with a fruit smoothie for a refreshing contrast.
The Comforting Choice: Cinnamon Roll
A Warm Classic
Cinnamon rolls are the epitome of comfort food. Soft, sweet, and filled with cinnamon sugar, they are perfect for breakfast or as an afternoon snack.
Our Unique Twist
Our cinnamon rolls are made from a rich dough that is allowed to rise slowly, resulting in a fluffy texture. We offer variations such as:
Classic Cinnamon Roll: Topped with cream cheese frosting.
Maple Pecan Roll: A delightful combination of maple syrup and crunchy pecans.
Chocolate Chip Cinnamon Roll: For those who can’t resist chocolate.
Enjoying Cinnamon Rolls
Serve warm, drizzled with icing, and enjoy with a cup of hot cocoa or coffee. They are perfect for cozy mornings or gatherings with friends.
The Seasonal Favorite: Pumpkin Spice Pastry
Embracing Fall Flavors
As the seasons change, so do our pastry offerings. The pumpkin spice pastry is a seasonal favorite that captures the essence of fall.
What to Expect
This pastry features a spiced pumpkin filling wrapped in a flaky crust, topped with a light glaze. It’s perfect for those who love the warm flavors of cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove.
Best Enjoyed With
Pair this pastry with a warm cup of chai tea or apple cider for a cozy autumn experience.
Conclusion
Pastries are more than just sweet treats; they are a celebration of flavors, textures, and traditions. From the classic croissant to the indulgent éclair, each pastry tells a story and offers a unique experience. We invite you to visit our bakery and explore our best sellers for yourself. Whether you are treating yourself or sharing with loved ones, our pastries are sure to delight.
