Amanda Sharp and Matthew Slotover, who are also co-founders of Frieze, will open Toklas Bakery on Chelsea’s Pavilion Road in early 2027.
The new bakery will build on the ethos of its Surrey Street location, bringing Toklas’ approach to seasonal baking to west London, with a focus on carefully sourced ingredients, modern twists on traditional bakes and exceptional craft.
Led by head baker Saffron Reid, the bakery will centre on bread, viennoiserie, pastries, sandwiches and coffee. Its counter will change with the seasons, with fruit, vegetables and other seasonal ingredients shaping the selection throughout the year.
The duo are working with Polonsky & Friends on the design of the new bakery. Split over two storeys, on the second floor there will a dedicated workshop and events space for classes, gatherings and events.
Sharp and Slotover opened the original Toklas in a brutalist 1970s building dating on London’s Surrey Street, located just off The Strand, in 2021.
