our first farmers market stall
 

Pastry. Reinvented.

Belén began in April 2021 with a certified home kitchen, a farmers market, and a vision – to prove there are no limits to what can be created with plants. Passionate about the planet, people and pastry, owners Mica and Chris soon quit their day-jobs and set out to build a new breed of bakery.

The blueprint:

  1. Take your traditional and beloved baked-goods, find the best plant-based alternatives, and reinvent them to create the most impressive of items.

  2. Build adventurous, dynamic monthly menus with innovative products and unique, captivating flavours.

  3. Spread joy and kindness!

Embodying the beliefs in which we live by

Impact

We aspire to have as little environmental impact as possible.

This means doing our best to choose products and companies that are local, organic, and have a low carbon footprint.

It’s also the little things like composting our food scraps, donating excess food and managing our recyclables correctly - including milk cartons, which are recycled into building materials. Pretty cool huh!

Care

We aspire to be a kind and compassionate community.

This means showing love and respect to all beings that walk among us. It’s why we work with cruelty-free, fair-trade products and companies. It’s why we will never pay our staff less than the living wage. And it’s why we will always look out for each and every one of you!

Joy

We aspire to bring you great happiness!

What brings us the most joy, is putting a smile on our customer’s faces. It gives us the warmest of fuzzies to see and hear the delight that we can bring to people that walk into our shop.

From the bottom of our heart and belly, thank you for supporting our business.
