Updated 21/4/25 with opening date and more details
A few weeks back, we wrote about how Filipino bakery Panadera was being forced to close in Kentish Town. Owner and co-founder Florence Mae talked then about "operational challenges" but now it transpires that she has now parted ways from the Maginhawa restaurant group entirely, taking with her Panadera and Donia. So the Kentish Town cafe has reopened as Filipino/Japanese bakery Café Mama and Sons and Florence is powering ahead with the opening of Panadera in Soho.
The Soho Panadera will be right in the middle of town (close to The Broadwick) in one of the newer developments that are popping up there. It will be larger than the original Kentish Town bakery (and the smaller Panadera in Marylebone), but you can expect the same winning combo of pandesal (Filipino bread rolls), Filipino pastries and excellent sandos to make an appearance here.
In addition, the new space has given Florence and her team more opportunity to play around with specials and for the launch you can expect the following:
- Longanisa sausage roll – filled with sweet Filipino sausage
- Ube pan Suisse – a soft laminated pastry filled with purple yam
The bakery/cafe will be open from breakfast through to lunch, but there are also plans to open in the evenings for special chef's table dinners.
