"A gem in a quiet street"
— Local Guide
Our story
A little bakery with a very big heart.
Tucked into a quiet corner of Grant Avenue inside Tarquin House, Baked on Grant isn't the flashiest bakery in Johannesburg — and that's exactly why regulars love it. It's the kind of neighbourhood spot where you pop in for a loaf and leave twenty minutes later having caught up on the whole street's news.
Our team — led by the wonderful Zainub behind the counter — bakes everything in-house from scratch, every single morning. Cream doughnuts, coconut cookies, crusty rolls still warm from the oven: no shortcuts, no pre-mixes, just honest baking with butter, flour, and a whole lot of care.
