From childhood flavours to Edinburgh favourites

At Krema, everything we do is rooted in a love for flavour, craft, and community. After nearly two years of searching for the perfect space, we opened our doors on Leith Walk in March 2022, just after the pandemic. We chose Leith Walk because of its vibrant, inclusive spirit and mix of cultures, a place that felt like the perfect backdrop for our vision. Inspired by our Greek roots and our family pastry shop in Greece, we’ve created a bakery where tradition meets modern patisserie. Since then, we’ve been overwhelmed by the support of locals, visitors from across Edinburgh and even people from around the world. With our new kitchen unit, we’re now able to expand what we do, offering more cake orders, wedding cakes, wholesale and an ever-growing variety of bakes. Above all, we love what we create, and we want everyone to taste the joy we pour into every bake.

Testimonials

  • “My go-to spot for sweet treats and bento cakes in Edinburgh! If the smell of the bakery doesn’t lure you in, then their excellent desserts should. And if you get anything, make sure it’s one of their buns. Tried a few different flavours now and they’re always insanely good”

  • “I had the most stunning and delicious birthday cake I’ve ever had! My boyfriend surprised me with a Lord of the Rings–themed cake, and Krema did an absolutely amazing job bringing it to life. It was a true work of art and tasted incredible. My friends and family were all blown away. Krema is definitely my favourite pastry shop!”

  • “We stopped by Krema Bakehouse and were blown away by the cinnamon bun, perfectly sweet with a lovely glaze and a soft, moist center. Paired with a rich hot chocolate, it was the perfect treat. The service was excellent; the staff were kind and even helped carry our order outside when our hands were full. We sat outside, it was a lovely sunny day and enjoyed every bite. Highly recommend for a cozy treat in the heart of Edinburgh!”
