Who we are
A small family bakery with one oven, three bakers and a counter full of bread, pastries and maamoul every morning. We bake in small batches so everything is fresh when you buy it.

Reviews
Our happy customers
Teta Widad's maamoul tastes exactly like my grandmother's at Eid. I order three boxes every year.
I bring my laptop and a croissant to the window table every Saturday. The best start to the weekend.
They baked a birthday tart for my son with his name piped in chocolate. Beautiful and delicious.
