# Balthazar Bakery

## Overview

Artisan Baking Done Right in Englewood

Freshly baked breads and pastries from a beloved neighborhood bakery serving Bergen County since before you knew you needed it.

Walk through the door at **Balthazar Bakery** on South Dean Street and the smell alone tells you something serious is happening here. Hundreds of customers have given it a 4.6-star rating across nearly 660 reviews, and the kind of loyalty that earns that score doesn't come from average loaves. This is a place where the staff will teach you how to pronounce what you're ordering, where the craft shows in every item on the shelf, and where regulars consider themselves genuinely lucky to have it in their neighborhood.

**Archetype:** `brochure`  ·  **Voice:** `warm`  ·  **Pace:** `steady`  ·  **Density:** `medium`

## Colors

The palette is designed to reflect Balthazar Bakery's character — every token below is a deliberate direction, not extracted noise.

- **Primary** (`{colors.primary}`) — `#a35a44` — dominant identity color, used for headers, primary buttons, link emphasis, brand marks.
- **Secondary** (`{colors.secondary}`) — `#5a7a7a` — supporting tone, used for soft backgrounds, dividers, and quiet emphasis.
- **Accent** (`{colors.accent}`) — `#cc5514` — high-contrast attention color, used sparingly for CTAs, badges, and editorial moments.

Neutral scale: `#e8dcc0`, `#2a261c` — body text, surfaces, borders, low-emphasis chrome.

## Typography

- **Body** (`{typography.body}`) — `slab`, `bold`. Used for paragraph text, lists, captions.
- **Display** (`{typography.display}`) — `slab` in `vintage` mode. Used for hero headlines, section titles, and editorial pull-outs.

Set generous line-height (1.6+) for body. Display can run tight (-0.01em letter-spacing) for graphic impact.

## Layout

Default rendering uses the Doozer Muse v3 section pipeline. Sections are addressable units — each one selectable by variant (e.g. `about/alternating`, `services/alternating`, `events/upcoming-list`). The container pattern is:

- Outer: `.container` (max-width 1400px)
- Body prose: `.container-narrow` (max-width 900px) — readability is non-negotiable
- Mobile collapse at 880px and 640px breakpoints

## Shapes

- Cards: `{rounded.card}` (14px) — gentle, signals warmth without softness
- Buttons: `{rounded.button}` (999px / pill) — directional, never timid
- Images: `{rounded.image}` (18px) — generous, frames content as artifact

## Components

Doozer ships a fixed component vocabulary that every business site shares. Each component honors the tokens above. Operators don't choose components — the Muse v3 pipeline composes them per section.

- **Hero** — full-bleed photo, brand-tinted overlay, trust pill (rating + today's hours), large display headline
- **About / Services** — `classic` text-only OR `alternating` (image+text rhythm). Smart photo selection via vision metadata.
- **Why Choose Us** — modern numbered cards (01 / 02 / 03), or icon cards, or photo cards — variant per Muse
- **Events** (`upcoming-list`) — chronological event list with affiliate-wrapped tickets
- **Reviews** — letter-on-gradient avatars (or Google profile photos when available), show-more for long reviews
- **FAQ** — native `<details>` accordion, brand-tinted accent on open
- **Hours of Operation** — live open/closed banner + weekly grid with today highlighted
- **Contact** — embedded map + action cards + Save-to-Contacts vCard + Share button
- **Network footer** — every page declares its position in the Doozer / BerrySmart network

## Do's and Don'ts

### Do
- Treat color tokens as inviolable — `{colors.primary}` is **the** brand color, not a starting suggestion.
- Pair `brochure` archetype with the matching decorative hints: `torn-edge`, `ghost-print`, `stamped-postmark`.
- Use `{colors.accent}` only for high-intent surfaces (CTAs, urgency, editorial pull-outs). It should feel rare.
- Preserve readability — body line-length never exceeds ~75 characters.
- Honor the `warm` voice in every line of generated copy. The Muse defines this; don't drift.

### Don't
- Don't introduce colors not in the palette. If a new color is needed, add it via the Muse, not ad-hoc.
- Don't replace Doozer components with custom HTML — the pipeline handles structural variants; new structures belong as variants under `includes/sections/`.
- Don't run banner ads, popups, or interstitials. Per the Mission Charter, affiliate revenue is a side-effect of usefulness, never the primary surface.
- Don't generate content that contradicts verified facts (address, hours, phone, rating). The AI generates voice + emphasis; verified data is sacred.
