A culinary laboratory dedicated to the art of the perfect crumb.
From Tuesday to Thursday, our kitchen transforms into a laboratory. We experiment with hydration levels, flour blends, and fermentation times. We are not a factory line; we are a studio of bakers obsessed with the science behind the flavor.
Nestled in the creative hub of Milpark, we invite you to taste the results of our experiments every weekend.

Mohammed and Sadika Lavangee started their journey almost three decades ago on their honeymoon. Today, they bring that shared passion to every loaf.
"Sourdough is instinctual. You have to feel the dough to know when it's right. The result is a loaf that is flavourful and digestible."
"Precision is key. Every layer must be perfect—the sponge, ganache, buttercream. It's a labour of love."
Located at 5 Quince Street, Milpark. We believe in quality over quantity, which is why we limit our trading hours to weekends to ensure every product meets our exacting standards.
