It's been quite the week for new bakeries opening around town and another interesting one that just caught our eye is Sablé. This is one of those businesses that originally started life as a delivery service, but demand has been such that they've now grown into a fully-fledged bakery.
The duo behind the opening are Ratika Arora, a self-taught baker who started baking during lockdown and Andrew Scott, alas not the Hot Priest but a pizza chef with over 10 years of experience working with dough. They'd originally planned to open a pizzeria, they told us, " but after the overwhelming response to our cookies, sold from a small dark kitchen, we realized this was the path we were meant to take".
At Sablé they're focusing on New York-style cookies, so they're thick, gooey in the middle, with a golden crisp edge. Signature flavours include chocolate chip, birthday cake, matcha matcha, coconut caramel, and pistachio kunafa. The idea came from the pair's regular trips to the Big Apple where they fell in love with the city's cookies and couldn't find anything in London that was similar.
With cookies comes coffee, naturally, and the menu here features coffee by Blending Room as well as a large selection of matcha options including blueberry matchs and a regularly changing seasonal matcha.
