💜 Our Signature Ube Crinkle Cookie 💜
Soft, chewy, and beautifully purple — just the way nature intended.
Our Ube Crinkle Cookie gets its vibrant colour naturally from real ube, with no artificial food colouring added. We’ve also created a reduced-sugar recipe that lets the rich, earthy sweetness of ube shine through without being overly sweet.
Finished with its signature crinkled sugar coating and a soft, cake-like centre, it’s the perfect companion to your coffee or afternoon tea.
A customer favourite and one of our signature bakes for a reason.

As this year comes to a close, we’re feeling incredibly grateful. ❤️
It’s been a big year with its fair share of challenges—from health hurdles to the never-ending roadworks—but your trust and support kept us going, especially since reopening. Thank you for every visit, every smile, and every cup of coffee shared with us. You’re the reason we love what we do.
We’ll be taking a short break to recharge over Christmas, from 25th December until 4th January. We’ll reopen on Friday 5th January, ready to welcome you back with fresh coffee, delicious food, and plenty of warmth.
Wishing you all a peaceful holiday season filled with joy, good food, and great company. See you in the new year! ☕🍽️
With heartfelt thanks,

Introducing our exclusive Christmas Tree Croissant, made in store, buttery layers are carefully shaped by hand into a festive tree, then baked to golden perfection.
But the real magic is inside… where a divine dark chocolate cream filling awaits. Rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced, it flows like a hidden treasure with every single bite.
Hurry in! These enchanting croissants are available in-store only until Christmas Eve.
