Classic Croissants
Seven layers of French butter folded by hand each morning. Flaky, shattering, and deeply golden.

Our Process
The patience you can taste
Long Fermentation
Every sourdough rests for a minimum of twelve hours in our temperature-controlled proofing room. Shortcuts are the only ingredient we never use.
Local Partnerships
Our butter arrives daily from North Carolina creameries, our flour is stone-ground within fifty miles, and our eggs come from a single farm in Stokes County.
Small-Batch Discipline
We bake in batches small enough to control and large enough to serve the community. When the display case empties at two, it empties — that's by design.
What We Make
From the oven to your table
Every item is crafted in-house, daily. Our rotating selection reflects the season and what our bakers are proud of that morning.
Country Sourdough
Twelve-hour cold ferment, wild starter maintained since 2019, and a crust that sings when you tap it.
Pâtisserie
Éclairs, fruit tarts, and seasonal specialties made with the same discipline as our breads — because pastry is bread with ambitions.
Hearth Breads
Focaccia, ciabatta, baguettes, and seeded whole grains — each baked on the stone floor of our deck oven.
Curated Groceries
Small-batch olive oils, local honey, artisan cheeses, and pantry staples we'd actually keep in our own kitchen.
Coffee & Drinks
Single-origin pour-over and espresso from regional roasters, plus seasonal hot and cold beverages to pair with your selection.
Our Story
A bakery built on a simple conviction
Château de Lochurst began with a question most bakers stop asking too early: what would this look like if we didn't cut a single corner?
We opened our doors on Waterway Drive with a deck oven, a hand-maintained sourdough starter, and a commitment to the kind of bread that takes time — time to ferment, time to shape, time to bake slowly at high heat until the crust does what it's supposed to do.
Today we serve the Pfafftown community and surrounding towns with the same standard we set on day one. Nothing rushed. Nothing substituted. Just bread, pastry, and groceries we're willing to put our name on.

What Neighbors Say
Trusted locally, baked globally
The sourdough here changed how my family thinks about bread. We drove from Winston-Salem specifically for it, and we make the trip every weekend now.
I stopped in for coffee and stayed for the croissant. The layers actually flake apart like they're supposed to. I haven't found anything like this anywhere else in the area.
The grocery section alone is worth the visit — local honey, real butter, cheeses that actually taste like something. It's what a neighborhood shop should be.
