It's World Bread Day, and Pretoria is already at 18° heading for 31° so yes, carbs don't count today. We are the scientists.

Rate your bread situations:

Garage sliced white (the ex)

2 "One loaf for the house" (half eaten in

the car before you get home)

3 Actual German bread from people who bake bread for a living

We've put out a whole spread of our best breads, plus everything else that turns a "quick Friday coffee" into a personality: pretzels, pastries, pies, cookies, cakes, cake shakes, homemade ice cream and fruit flans.

Wednesday is the middle seat of the week. ✈️😩
No armrest. No window. Someone’s elbow in your ribs. Two days behind you, two days to go.

Pretoria’s sitting at 30°C with clouds that refuse to commit. Same, honestly. ☁️

Mon: “new week, new me” 💪
Tue: “okay… still trying” 😅
Wed: *staring at the pastry counter like it owes me money* 👀

Our in-flight service: ☕ cappuccino + 🐝 Bee Sting slice for R80. Honey-almond crunch on top, cream in the middle, zero turbulence.

Want business class? Add a pretzel. 🥨
First class? Take home German bread, a pie for later and a fruit flan “for the family” (the family is you). 🍞🥧🍓
Also boarding today: pastries, cookies, cakes, cake shakes and homemade ice cream. 🍰🍪🍦

Tag the friend who always says “just one bite” and leaves you the crust. 👇😤

Pretoria weather update: 🔥🔥🔥
The sun isn’t shining, it’s holding a grudge.

Your car steering wheel? Lava.
Your seatbelt buckle? A branding iron.
Your aircon? Making noises like it’s filing a complaint with HR.

Scientists say there’s only ONE place in Pretoria to keep cool… 🧊
(Scientists = us. We’re the scientists. Trust us.)

🥤 Thick milkshakes that need a gym membership to sip
🧊 Ice-cold crushers, basically a cold shower you can drink
🍸 Don Pedros: ice cream that’s had a very fun day (18+)
🍰 And cake. Because heat doesn’t cancel cake. Nothing cancels cake.

Watch till the end and pick your fighter 👇
Comment 🥤 for milkshake, 🧊 for crusher, 🍸 for Don Pedro.

Tag the friend who says “it’s not even that hot” while melting into the pavement. Share it with the group chat that keeps saying “let’s go somewhere with aircon” 🫠

📍 Der Zucker Bäcker, Shop 1, Menlyn Retail Park
📲 WhatsApp 074 052 6850
🍸 Don Pedros 18+ only. Please enjoy responsibly.

Every family has that uncle who “just pops in for one roll”… and walks out with a Black Forest cake, 6 pies, a German rye loaf and a cake shake “for the drive” 🎂🥧🍞🥤 Be the uncle. Nobody at the braai complains about the uncle.

Pastries, pretzels, German breads, pies, cookies, cakes, cake shakes, homemade ice cream and fruit flans, all waiting for your weekend excuse 😏

Pretoria East: still on the water rollercoaster.

Us: coffee machine clocked in. Cake clocked in. Toilets... taking a personal day.

We've got backup water for the

important stuff (espresso, washing up, staying open) - just not for toilets today. Honest heads-up before you race over mid-latte.

Meanwhile, midweek survival kit still stands:

Cappuccino + Bee Sting slice = R80 (Tue-Thu)

Come for the custard. Plan the bathroom stop strategically.
