Six 96 Baker'S Caf

You can find our little cafe at 678/5 on Mall Road in Model Town. It’s a nice spot, though the parking can be a bit of a nightmare on the weekends. We started this place because we liked the idea of a local bakery where things feel real. It’s not a polished chain restaurant. The tables are a bit mismatched and sometimes the floor creaks when you walk over to the counter. We spend our mornings baking bread and getting the cakes ready. The smell of flour and yeast is pretty much everywhere. We have a small staff and we all do a bit of everything, from washing dishes to serving coffee. It gets pretty loud in here when the afternoon rush hits, but we try to keep up as best we can. Sometimes the oven doesn't heat up evenly and we have to rotate the trays more than usual. We don’t use any fancy descriptions for our food; it’s just sandwiches and pastries made by hand. Model Town is a good neighborhood, and we like seeing the same faces coming in for their morning roll. We don't have a big corporate strategy or anything like that. We just open the doors, turn on the coffee machine, and start the day. It’s a simple life running a bakery, and we wouldn't have it any other way, even with the long hours and early mornings.
