Engineered by bakers who measure twice
We're a family of food engineers who ended up in patisserie. Every recipe here gets developed, tested and written down properly, the way you would in a lab. Then it gets piped by hand, the way you would at home. Thirty years in food, in Kazakhstan, Istanbul and now Edinburgh, taught us that much: precision keeps it consistent, care makes it yours.
Before the aprons there were factories. Years in the food industry, on production floors, in quality control, in R&D. In 2004 we opened our first coffee bistro and patisserie in Kazakhstan. After that, ten years running our own small patisserie in Istanbul: thousands of customers, hundreds of celebration cakes, recipes and teams built from nothing. All of that came with us to Morningside Road.
Same cake, every time — except the one we design just for you.
