Good to know

When is the best time to visit?

Our busiest days are Saturdays and Sundays, with the longest queues between 9 and 11am. For the full selection of pastries and cakes we recommend arriving before 11am — and remember our Faversham shop tends to have a gentler pace with fewer queues.

Are you dog friendly?

Very! We just ask that dogs are kept on a short lead. We have dog bowls for your little friends inside and outside.

Can we book a table?

Both our shops are walk-in only. Even on our busiest days the kitchen operates efficiently and wait times are 30 minutes max.

Thank you so much for an amazing day baking but also to spend the day at your inspiring bakery. I can understand why there was a non stop queue through the doors and I've left wanting to move to Whitstable.
