hi there, i’m robyn!
It all started in London, but probably sooner. (The long story)
The thing I love about a good bakery is the sense of belonging it gives.
You walk in and are immediately welcomed by the smell the fresh buns, butter, chocolate and coffee. Good bakeries buzz with a seamless, happy rhythm. You order, you sit, you usually wait for your hot bevy while enjoying a fresh pastry, crack open a book or engage in conversation and voila, it’s home away from home.
I first fell in love with bakeries while studying abroad in London. Homesick and hungry, I found myself sitting in local bakeries and cafes more than anywhere else, curled up with my university reading and sipping dark cocoa.
Even though foggy London was a far cry from sunny Southern California, a bakery made me feel at home. Maybe it was the fact that growing up mom usually made us cocoa or baked for us on rainy days…
So, I started the bakery-inspired website Sweetish Co in hopes to create a home away from home for you.
I wanted a place where you could settle in, read with a cup of something warm (or cold) and feel like you’re not alone; Just like I did so many years ago in those London bakeries.
Once you’ve stuck around a bit, I hope to inspire you to use whole ingredients and make something that’s never too sweet, but sweetish.
So welcome friend, I’m so glad you’re here. Let’s bake.
