Having started during lockdown in Crouch End and now with a fully fledged bakery there and in Islington, the North London baker Sophia Handschuh and her husband Jesse Sutton-jones are gearing up to open their third place.
The pair revealed the location of their next bakery in a cryptic post on Instagram, asking followers if they could work out where it was. And it took fans a few hours to track it down to Highgate. Specifically they're taking over the space that used to be The Creamery ice cream shop. It's a road that's becoming quite the foodie wayfare with a fishmongers from London Shell Co, a proper deli in Superette and a good butchers in Meat N6.
"This location is a pretty special one for Jesse and myself," said Sophia, "as this was our home turf when I first moved to London before we lived in Crouch End and we spent many a weekend strolling around here and enjoying the local park and beautiful views of London in our early 20s!"
If you haven't been to one of her other two bakeries, then the clue is in the name. You can expect fantastic sourdough, of course, but we're also big fans of their patisserie in particular their cereal milk cookies.
