Thursday, 11th of July: We'll be closed for the day due to a planned power outage for an electrical cabinet replacement. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

See you soon!

**It's time for Gelato Festival! **

Our gelato machine is finally up and running, and after months of testing recipes, we're thrilled to be serving authentic Sicilian gelato!

To celebrate this exciting moment, we're hosting a Gelato Festival this Saturday at the bakery from 11am to 3pm. It's the perfect chance to stop by, try out our delicious gelato flavours, and let us know what you think!

For this special occasion, my two young nieces, Marta and Alessia, who are visiting from Sicily, will be lending a hand (and maybe whipping up some granita too!) They'll be serving gelato at the counter, and while they might be a bit shy, they have the biggest smiles! Please come out and show them your support!

We can't wait to celebrate summer with you all! ☀️

Attention coffee lovers! ☕️

Just a heads up that our beloved coffee machine will be taking a quick pit stop for a checkup today, between 9:30 AM and 10:00 AM. While it's getting its temperature taken and filters checked, we won't be able to serve up any of our coffee.

We know this might be a shock to your system, but we promise it's for the greater good (and even better coffee in the future!). We'll be back brewing as usual by 10:00 am, so come see us then for your caffeine fix.

In the meantime, feel free to browse our selection of pastries, or other goodies to keep your energy up. We appreciate your understanding!

Celebrating Christmas... in 2024?!

Let's just say December was a whirlwind of panettone, pastries, and bread galore! We barely had time to blink, let alone throw a Christmas party. So, what did we do? We decided to skip the line and jump straight to 2024!

Last night, our amazing team threw a Christmas bash for the ages, complete with festive cheer, delicious homemade pizza (of course!), and a dash of time travel magic (okay, maybe it was just Prosecco...). We even rang in the New Year a little early, showering each other with confetti and good wishes for 2025. ✨

It's moments like this that remind us why we love what we do. Creating joy through our baked goods is one thing, but seeing the happiness on our team's faces as they celebrate together… that's pure magic.

And it wouldn't be possible without YOU, our wonderful customers! Your support has helped us grow, and we couldn't ask for a better place to work, surrounded by such amazing people.
So, from our future-celebrating family to you, here's to a delicious and joyous 2024 (and a sneak peek at a fabulous 2025 too!).



Though this photo doesn't show everyone, we're all one big, happy bakery family

We're whipping up something extra special today and need to close our doors a little early for a private event.

Don't fret, you can still get your pastry fix until 2pm. Come grab your croissants, focaccia sandwich, and cravings before we batten down the hatches! ✨

See you soon, and be sure to check back on Monday for our regular hours.

𝐁𝐮𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐨 𝐏𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐛𝐮𝐫𝐲!

We can't believe it's already been 10 months since we brought a little slice of Sicily to your beautiful town! It's been a whirlwind journey, growing from just 2 passionate bakers to a bustling team of 17 (and still growing!). We've learned, we've laughed, we've kneaded (a LOT), and through it all, your unwavering support has fueled our love for sharing authentic Sicilian flavors with Dorset.

Of course, it hasn't all been sunshine and flour sacks. ☀️ Baking, as they say, is a science, and sometimes even the slightest tweak can throw off the whole equation. Like that high-temperature fiasco in the kitchen this New Year, or (ahem) today's... less-than-stellar focaccia attempt. Baking is a constant dance of adjustments and adaptations, and we wouldn't have it any other way! It keeps us on our toes, pushing boundaries, and always striving to perfect every crust, every crumb, every cannoli filling. 🇮🇹

But here's the thing: despite the occasional burnt batch or lopsided pastry, we wouldn't trade this journey for anything. You, our amazing Poundbury family, have welcomed us with open arms and hungry hearts. Your smiles with every bite, your stories shared over coffee, your patience during our inevitable hiccups – these are the true rewards that make all the sweat and flour dust worth it.

And we're just getting started! 2024 is brimming with plans and ideas: new pastries to tantalize your taste buds, workshops to unveil the secrets of Sicilian baking (check it here https://www.peppina.uk/cooking-classes/), and maybe even something really refreshing for the summer. ✨

So, from the bottom of our flour-dusted hearts, GRAZIE! Thank you for believing in us, for choosing us, for letting us bring a little bit of Sicily to your doorstep. We can't wait to continue this delectable journey together, one croissant at a time!



P.S. Feel free to share your favorite Sicilian memories or baking mishaps in the comments! We love hearing from you!

📢 Important Announcement: Temporary Stop of Aperitivo Evenings 🍹

Hello, dear friends and valued customers,

I hope this message finds you all well. I wanted to take a moment to share some important news with you regarding our Aperitivo Evenings.

As some of you may know, we recently made an attempt to reopen our doors in the evenings to provide you with those delightful Aperitivo moments we all love. It's been such a joy to see our wonderful patrons enjoy their evenings at our establishment.

However, life sometimes has other plans for us. I recently consulted with my doctor, who, in his infinite wisdom, has kindly advised me to take a step back and prioritize my health. It seems I've been running myself a bit ragged, and it's time to make some changes.

So, with a heavy heart, I must announce that I am temporarily suspending our Aperitivo Evenings until I am back in the pink of health. I know this may come as short notice, and I want to apologize from the bottom of my heart for any inconvenience this may cause. Your support and presence at these evenings mean the world to me, and I truly appreciate it.

Rest assured, I am already hard at work, exploring ways to find the help needed to continue offering you those enchanting Aperitivo Evenings in the near future. I promise to keep you updated as soon as we have some exciting news to share.

In the meantime, I want to express my deepest gratitude for your understanding, and for being a part of our wonderful community. Your support and well wishes mean everything to me, and I look forward to being back with you all soon.

Take care, stay well, and here's to a brighter and healthier future filled with Aperitivo evenings to remember! 🥂

Warmest regards,
Angelo

Auguri Alive Chiropractic !!! 🎂🥳
Congratulations to dott. Edo for being one year in business.

In the last couple of days someone could have noticed some differences with our filled croissants. We changed method to fill them and of course, as every change, we needed a little adjustment to make it right.
Today, we wanted to treat all our customers with the new version of our croissant 🥐

85 grams of buttery french croissant filled with 40grams of our NEW homemade white chocolate and hazelnut 🤤🤤🤤
This morning they went very fast but we are definitely making more ...

Are you planning your lunch or brunch or break next week?

We are open as usual!!!!

° Bank holiday Monday 1st of May - OPEN
° Coronation day Saturday 6th of May - OPEN
° Bank holiday Monday 8th of May - OPEN

We close only on Sundays, just to give time to our sourdough starter to take a break 😁

Tomorrow have a look into our display fridge. You could see one of our special all handmade tiramisu!
A very light and delicious version, following the recipe of the best Sicilian Pastry chefs.
It's also gluten-free, because we made our own Savoiardi biscuits that contain only eggs, sugar and corn flour.
Ready for a new experience?
