FAQ

No. We are allergen-friendly, albeit 80% of our menu is vegan.

Any label with a “V” in store stands for vegan.

Yes! We use chicken that is free-range and halal. Our Angus beef and lamb are grass fed and halal as well.

Rarely, we use halal beef gelatine in desserts (just one item).

Our supplier is Shipton Mill. All the flours used are organic and whole-grain gluten-free. We create all our flour blends from scratch using whole grains: brown rice, millet, sorghum, and buckwheat.

We use sources like Egyptian Medjool dates, organic maple, organic coconut, organic agave and organic unrefined demerara – minimally, simply to accentuate the natural produce already present.

While our founder believes that not all calories are created equal - she accounts sugar varieties as one and the same. Insisting they should be minimal in our diet regardless of source. For example, while different types of unrefined sweeteners can retain minor micronutrient content - it is a matter of quantity, bio-individuality, personal activity levels and mental/emotional states when consuming. We should be focused on whole foods to get our nutrition, and not desserts. Likewise, common sugar alcohols used in Keto baked goods that don't necessarily affect blood sugar as much can cause digestive distress and encourage sugar addiction thus, even when used in our products it is with care and minimally.

Our primary source of sweetness is derived from fruits and root vegetables, which we aim to honour as nature intended without much added sugar.

We are passionate about keeping every baked good nutrient dense thus, keeping sugar low - regardless of sweetener used - is a cornerstone of our ethos. 

For anyone that is struggling with blood sugar and/or insulin issues, we recommend stick to our savouries, keto loaves and tarts. Kindly refer to questions below concerning details on cakes.

For our cakes, we use minimal organic unrefined demerara as our primarily choice because it takes less amount of sugar overall, provides the best texture and is neutral in taste and colour. For example, our Shortcake is sweetened with maple syrup yet, tastes much sweeter than the options with unrefined demerara. 

We also created our cakes for celebrations and not every day meals as the rest of our pastry.

We are low sugar regardless of sweetener used and put the minimum required for structure and texture (as sugar is not merely for sweetening).

In particular, all our buttercreams require unrefined demerara to be stable or else they melt.

An idea of how much sugar is used: a 3 layer cake 8-inch cake (fits up to 16-18 people) takes no more than 3/4 cup of sugar. 

We do not substitute sugar in any of our cakes unless for large catering orders. Substitutes also come at a higher price point.

We do not customise cakes unless for big celebrations and weddings with a minimum serving required.

Our smallest cake size is a 6" and can be ordered through the web shop.

For wedding cakes, kindly refer to our tab concerning in the webshop. If you wish for a custom cake that is larger than our 3-tier listed, click here to fill out our inquiry form and a team member will respond within 24 hours. Please note all custom orders need 1 month advance notice.

The completely nut-free options are:

1. Salted Tahini Brownies

2. Toasted Coconut & Berries Keto Loaves

3. Victoria Sponge Cake, White Chocolate Ganache, Figs & Rose Jam

We use a vegan butter that is based on coconut, shea, and a bit of almond cream as we refuse to use margarine being dairy-free. Therefore, very little is free of almonds (albeit it is traces).

We can also easily make our Chocolate Cake varieties nut-free, however, the filling will be fruit compotes or jam and no curds. Same applies for the Chiffon Cake varieties - we can substitute with a white chocolate ganache rather than buttercreams (it will be sweeter). You can leave a note mentioning nut-free in the 'Optional Cake Message' section under the cakes upon ordering.

Please note we cannot guarantee against cross contamination of or between nuts. Baked goods can be made without any nuts but could contain traces as nuts are used in the kitchen. 

If you want our savoury specials or any other item it would have to be a custom order in advance (at least 10 days) – we only accept large catering orders for custom as they would have to be made specifically. 

We like to believe we have something for everyone being completely gluten, dairy and refined sugar free with plenty of vegan options, as well as, paleo and keto.

If you have specific allergens, kindly check our ingredient list online to see what is safe for you to eat and/or ask our Barista’s/Servers. We cannot remove ingredients from our baked goods. 

We do not take bookings, rather operate on a first come, first served basis as many people come from far to try our food. 

Our bakery space is intentionally small and intimate to enable connection and also, discourage the cafe and lounging on screens culture. 

The space features two coffee tables able to seat up to 3 people each and two stools facing our display counter. 

If the weather permits, we highly encourage grabbing a takeaway and taking a 5-minute walk to Kensington Palace Gardens or Hyde Park!

Custom orders are only available for large catering numbers and events, and must be ordered at least a month in advance with a deposit paid to confirm. Click here to fill out our inquiry form and a team member will respond within 24 hours.

Our Pastry Chefs solely follow our Founders recipe to the word and cannot adapt. Thus, custom orders are prepared by our Founder exclusively and require earlier notice and will vary in price according to request, ingredients, number of servings, and hours required to fulfil – to name a few variables. 

We do offer catering for private and corporate events. There are many options on our menu perfect for banquets or buffets. All of our tarts can be made as canapes and we also offer a wonderful selection of seasonal and best selling vegan salads. Click here to fill out our inquiry form and a team member will respond within 24 hours. Please note all custom orders need 1 month advance notice.

Yes, however, we only deliver orders with £200 as a minimum amount plus a £35 delivery charge, on Thursdays and Saturdays from 12-4 pm, and exclusively to London Zone 1 areas.

Our team is small (we’d have to send out a member personally) and we do not currently have our own transportation, therefore, the cost to deliver is higher. 

We need a minimum of 3 days in advance for orders.

Custom catering orders for events or corporate require a minimum month in advance. 

We are a micro, independent bakery focused on hand crafting our baked goods in small batches and reducing waste. Therefore, we do not have any whole cakes or tarts for last minute. Very rarely, on occasions, we will prepare one and announce it online. 

For orders requested a day before, kindly call the bakery for them to check with the kitchen if anything can be available for the following day - busy periods (holidays and summer) we are not able to fulfil last minute orders. Please note, if and when we can - we only cater to the flavours and sizes we serve upstairs in the bakery that is only 8 inch tarts and cakes, we cannot cater to smaller or bigger.
