Pastries.
But Dolled Up.
A Few of our Favorite Treats
Strawberries & Cream Choux
Fluffy little choux clouds stuffed with dreamy cream and bursting with juicy local strawberry goodness.
Plumcot Hazelnut Crostata
Buttery, golden pastry cradling jammy, local plumcots and nutty hazelnut crunch.
Orange Blossom Brioche Bun
Pillowy, buttery brioche with a fragrant little swoon of orange blossom.
Key Lime Pavlova
Crisp-on-the-outside, marshmallowy-in-the-middle pavlova piled high with zingy key lime and creamy goodness.

The First Batch Story.
A home-grown Baker with roots in the Hudson Valley and a love for good food, good ingredients, and a little adventure, Sofia formed Pichona, a unique pop-up bakery.
Before calling Vermont home, Sofia lived in Washington, DC, where she once imagined a very different career: human rights law and a job at the United Nations. In 2022, she traded DC for Vermont and eventually found herself following a different kind of calling. One involving butter, flour, seasonal produce, and a very full oven.
Pichona grew from that shift: a bakery built around creativity, community, and the simple joy of making something delicious from scratch.
Meet Sofia Villalón.
Owner and Baker of Pichona
At Pichona, we believe good bakes can do more than make a great bite. We're all about celebrating the little and big moments, along with the people who grow our food to showcase what makes Vermont special, and ultimately bringing people together around the table.
By working with seasonal and locally sourced ingredients, Sofia creates pastries that reflect where we are and what's growing around us. The menu changes with the seasons, keeping the baking exciting and giving local ingredients their moment to shine.
The math is simple: bake the classics + celebrate the seasons = deliciously unique pastry moments.
What is "Pichona"?
Pichona is a little piece of home. My family has always called me "Pichona", a Spanish term of endearment meaning “darling.” It’s a nickname that has followed me through life, so a very fitting name for a bakery born from a lot of love, encouragement, and butter.
