.heim

Heim[at]. Noun. German. Feeling of home; not attached to a physical place but to a memory, a sensation, a longing.

Heim's creations hope to evoke familiarity. Enjoying a piece of cake your mother or grandma made for a special occasion. Like the sweet your parents gave you after a long day’s trip. An unexpected treat gifted to you by a friend.

Memory elevates the experience. Heim's sweets are based on a personal history.  Like yeast breads Jenn's Mama and Oma made that filled the house with a delicious scent and everyone's bellies with joy. That is something to hold dear, recreate and share. 
In Heim's brick & mortar you will find a cafe inspired by German roots and living room vibes - an inviting and warm community space.

Heim builds on locally-sourced and organic ingredients as much as possible. We also care about sustainability - omitting plastic cups and straws and being conscious of our impact with the packaging choices we make.
