The region's only second-generation bakery
In 2016—after having lived in Paris for more than 14 years—Mo and Trudy’s son, Lorin, returned to Davis with his wife, Edith, and their two daughters, and took the baton.
Lorin, who trained with top bakers in the US and France, brought an expanded focus on authentic French baking traditions and sourcing local ingredients.
In 2019, we opened our flagship bakery-café-boutique next to the Davis Food Co-op, in a location that many locals remember as the former Radio Shack. Then, in 2022, we opened our second location in historic downtown Winters, at the start of California's scenic "Wine to Waves" route 128.
Upper Crust Baking is honored to serve these two amazing communities in the heart of America's Farm-to-Fork Capital region.

CASTELLO BANFI
TITO'S HANDMADE VODKA
TITO'S HANDMADE VODKA
Banfi begins in 1978, as the result of an ambitious and at the same time visionary project: to create a pole of excellence for the production of quality wines in Montalcino and Italy. An environment open to research, study and hospitality which, only a few years later, will be defined as the most important and forward-thinking project ever executed in the wine industry in Italy.
The two Mariani brothers, John and Harry, creators of this new American dream, arrive in Montalcino in the mid-1970s, initially looking for a Brunello to add to their portfolio as respected and already successful importers in the United States
