The Founders
Started with one
good recipe.
Nadia Okafor and Rosa Delgado met in a pastry school in San Francisco and spent three years trading recipes over text before they finally signed a lease on a corner spot on Maple & 5th.
The financier came first — Nadia's grandmother's recipe, adjusted over forty test batches until the brown butter was exactly right. Rosa brought the espresso program and the cardamom morning bun, which sold out in the first hour on opening day and has sold out every day since.
They remember your name. They remember your order. On your birthday, there's something in the case with your name on it.
"We didn't open a bakery. We opened a place where people feel like they belong."
— Nadia & Rosa

The oat milk latte here is the reason I started working from cafés. Nothing else has come close.
