Handmade French pastries with Kiwi flavours take centre stage at this Tory Street pâtisserie, founded by Michelin-trained pastry chef Shuchi Bhardwaj. Alongside morning coffees and buttery croissants, the kitchen specialises in gluten-free, vegan and refined-sugar-free desserts, cakes, and delicate sweets. Beyond the pastry counter, they host themed high teas, hands-on macaron masterclasses, and vintage cake workshops, bringing technical fine-dining pâtisserie into an approachable neighbourhood setting.
Tucked along Tory Street in Te Aro, it sits in a competitive corner of Wellington with seven other bakeries within a kilometre, holding its own against neighbours like Shelly Bay Baker and Good Grief. Our pick in Te Aro for intricate, allergy-conscious French sweets and afternoon tea.
