The Zurich-founded brand will open a site at Bicester Village later this month, followed by a flagship London site later in the year.
The Bicester Village site will serve Bear St. Bakery’s signature range of cookies, which include pistachio white chocolate and raspberry; roasted tahini chocolate chip; vegan triple chocolate; and brown butter miso salted caramel flavours. Seasonal options such as strawberry cheesecake; oatmeal walnut chocolate chip; and apple crumble will also be available.
It will offer a range of premium drinks such as speciality coffee, ceremonial-grade matcha, and hot chocolate.
Bear St. Bakery was founded by Max Friedrich, who built his career in fine dining and hospitality with groups including the Dorchester Collection, Zuma and Shangri-La.
“Bringing Bear to the UK means bringing a piece of what we’ve created in Switzerland with us,” he says. “We’ve shown that everyday products can carry the same care, craftsmanship, and ingredient quality typically reserved for special occasions.
“For me, dunking a cookie into milk or drinking hot chocolates whilst walking outside in the cold are nostalgic moments.
“From our dough to our use of exceptional Swiss chocolate, every detail reflects our commitment to quality that people can taste, trust, and return to daily.”
Bear St Bakery Bicester Village will open on 17 March.
