IN THE KNOW

Saturday Morning Carton

Saturday Morning Carton makes your weekend fresh-baked pastry dreams an at-home reality. A collaborative endeavor of partners Andrew Gillian (the former head baker at now-closed Rise Coffee House) and Caitlin Metz (an illustrator and designer who “makes work about feelings”), each Saturday Morning Carton comes with your choice of two or four muffins in a rotating selection of flavor and a hand-drawn newspaper “with absolutely no actual news – just joy and poetry and feelings,” Metz said.

In late July, Gillian and Metz experimented with including cold brew from Living Room Coffee & Kitchen with their delivery, which Metz hopes will become a regular option. “My dream is that people wake up really sleepy, they run down to their door, grab their carton and coffee and then get back in bed with their pets or kids or partner or favorite book and just get a taste of a slow morning, and that the newspaper is just a pocket of delight,” they said.

Muffin flavors are announced on Mondays; place orders online by Thursday evening for delivery the following Saturday.
