Flour & Chocolate
This cult favourite bakery began with a twist when one-half of the husband and wife duo answered the phone with “I wake up with Today”.

The Scotts are never one to back down from a challenge, and this shines through in their experimental baked creations. They were one of the first to try out the viral cronut sensation, which helped to put Flour & Chocolate on the map.
