BRINGING BAKERIES

BACK TO THE ‘BURBS

Misty early morning in Parktown North reveals a queue of early birds, eagerly awaiting the doors to Dough & Co to swing open. At 6am sharp the smell of fresh French style pastries, light and flaky, mixed with fragrant coffee and friendly staff, invite patrons to step inside and get their daily dose of goodness.

Fortunately, you don’t have to be an early riser to enjoy a special treat from this neighbourhood bakery, open seven days a week from 6am till the afternoon. Situated on the corner of 7th and 3rd Avenues, you can’t live anywhere in The Parks and miss this hole in the wall of buttery goodness. Freshly baked all day long, trays of perfectly laminated croissants, donuts, muffins, éclairs and cookies come marching out of the tiny bakery, to tame our need for treats.

For a more substantial meal, the New York style bagels really hit the spot. With a variety of fillings to choose from it’s the perfect mid-morning or lunch grab-n-go option. While you’re at it, throw in some artisan sourdough boules or olive ciabatta to take home and share with family and friends.

Phone ahead to place your to-go order or linger over the displays. Visit Dough & Co. bring a little bakery bliss to your everyday..
