On High Street

A free-from café bakery with books on the walls.

We’re tired of gluten- and dairy-free cakes being known as dry, crumbly, and bland — so we bake the other kind. Soft crumb, proper flavour, and coffee worth lingering over in Navenby.

Call in for a slice and a browse, or ask about custom celebration cakes that don’t arrive bashed from the supermarket free-from aisle.

Our story

“Since being diagnosed with coeliac disease, the quest for cake that tastes and feels like ‘regular’ cake hadn’t been fruitful. So we began baking free-from cakes so good you wouldn’t know the difference.”
Rose, co-founder

Custom cakes

Birthdays, anniversaries, and stand-out celebrations

Need a celebration cake that holds its own? We create gluten-free and dairy-free tiered and single-tier cakes to order — flavours that travel well and taste like proper cake.
