Our Story
Cakes By Rach began as a passion project, fueled by a love for baking and a desire to share that joy with others. Founded by Rachael, a self-taught baker with a deep-rooted love for creating beautiful, delicious treats, the café is an extension of her vision to create a place where people can connect over great food and drink. What started as a home-based baking operation quickly grew in popularity, and it wasn’t long before Rachael opened the doors to her café, turning her dreams into a reality.
Our Philosophy
At Cakes By Rach, we believe that food is more than just sustenance – it’s a way to bring people together. Whether you’re indulging in one of our signature cakes, enjoying a fresh sandwich, or savoring a well-made coffee, we want every bite and sip to be a memorable experience. Our café is built on the values of quality, creativity, and community. Every dish we serve is crafted with care, using only the finest ingredients, ensuring that each experience is as satisfying as it is comforting.
A Celebration of Cake
Cakes are at the heart of what we do. From elegant wedding cakes to whimsical birthday creations, our cakes are designed to not only taste amazing but also to capture the essence of your special moments. Every cake is custom-made and tailored to your specific tastes and preferences. Whether you’re after a classic vanilla sponge, a decadent chocolate masterpiece, or something more adventurous like a salted caramel drip cake, we’ve got you covered. Our cakes are crafted with the perfect balance of flavors, textures, and artistry, making them the star of any celebration.
We also offer an array of daily fresh cakes in-store, available by the slice for those who just want a sweet treat with their coffee. Our range includes timeless favorites like carrot cake, red velvet, and lemon drizzle, as well as seasonal creations that highlight the best produce available.

Whether you’re in the mood for a hearty sandwich, a fresh salad, or a warm pastry, you’ll find something to satisfy your cravings.
Our coffee is another reason our customers keep coming back. We take our coffee seriously, sourcing quality beans from local roasters and serving each cup with precision and care.
