Kafejnica, maizes ceptuve ReMaize

Maizes un konditorejas izstrādājumu ceptuve “Re:Maize” gatavo kvalitatīvus produktus, kas ir ne tikai vizuāli pievilcīgi un garšīgi, bet arī ilgtspējīgi un organismam veselīgi. Nosaukums “Re:Maize” ietver sevī ilgtspējības filozofijas principus un to var definēt kā renovāciju kulinārijā. Tas saskan ar cirkulāras ekonomikas principu definīciju - “Raw to recycling”, kas šajā gadījumā pamatā attiecināms uz maizes un mīklas izstrādājumu ražošanu un patēriņu. Latviskojot šo filozofiju, izvēlēts sauklis, kuru izmanto uzrakstā uz izkārtnes un citos materiālos – «Rūpēs par ēdienu», kas pēc saimnieces domām pilnībā atbilst uzņēmuma principiem un ir saprotams arī viesiem.

Re:Maize piedāvā katru dienu svaigi ceptu maizi un konditorejas izstrādājumus līdzņemšanai vai baudīšanai uz vietas, kafiju, vīnus un Straupes piena produkciju. Tiek piedāvātas arī meistarklases - praktiskas klientu apmācības par Zero waste principiem.
