On Saturdays, long queues form outside Christiana Daaboul’s first bricks-and-mortar bakery in Stanmore, lured by beautiful Instagram photos of mango and white sesame sponge cake, miso caramel cookies and pistachio banoffee pie.
The small, light-filled space on Stafford Road sells 15 different plant-based products, some seasonal (such as the gingerbread bun with cinnamon cognac glaze) and some regular (including the baklava, which started it all). Coffee from Summer Hill roastery Headlands is available, along with specialty drinks such as malted maple matcha and brown sugar and lemon yensoon (anise) tea.
Outside, there are enough wood benches and stools to seat about 15 people.
