It all begins at 4am
when our wonderful Pastry team arrives to prove and bake the day’s pastries and cakes.
The bakers
They come in as we head to bed, working through the night. As the pastry team works, the bakers finish their shift, leaving the shelves filled with freshly baked bread.
Front of House
Meanwhile, the Front of House team prepares the shop for the day ahead, while the baristas dial in the coffee.
Our regulars
Before long, the first familiar faces, our regulars, begin to arrive, and the shop comes to life with conversation, the aroma of fresh coffee, and the warmth of the morning.
