Popular Glasgow vegan bakery to bring French favourites and coffee to city centre spot

A French former chef turned baker who previously won over fans baking from her home kitchen has announced she is to open a bakery and café in town.

Marlène Mamia's TheDorkyFrench (all one word) gathered a huge following after she began making bakes due to missing the quality and freshness of the pastries she enjoyed in her home country.

The kitchen bakery, which became known for its plant-based croissants and pain au chocolat, is now set to open as a city centre café for people to enjoy her creations as well as some great coffee.

Posting on Instagram, Marlène recently revealed the TheDorkyFrench Bakery would be opening on Parnie Street, posting: "Sorry for the absence if you’ve missed our croissants those past few months. We certainly missed you but TheDorkyFrench vegan bakery is coming back! Yes, there will be coffee."

Marlène, who uses traditional French flours and premium ingredients for her bakes, previously told Glasgow Live her goal was to bring the quality and freshness of French bakery items to Glasgow, starting with those two traditional items: the croissant and the pain au chocolat.

She said: "The idea is to sell the experience of enjoying a quality viennoiserie for breakfast. My favourite thing to do in the morning is to dip a fresh pain au chocolat in a hot cup of black coffee.

And it now appears her oui bakery (sorry we couldn't resist) is set to open on Parnie Street later this month giving old fans and new fans alike the chance to come and try her delicious plant-based baking.
