Akara Bakery

Akara Bakery on Dennistoun’s Duke Street is a glass-fronted takeaway bakery selling a changing menu of miniature baked goods that are almost Parisian in their delicateness. Vegan options, savoury pastries, donuts, layer cakes - there truly is nothing this place can’t do, and they do it all extremely well. Open until sell-out each day (which can often be very early indeed), it is worth taking the trip to Duke Street to join the excitable queue. Their vanilla, passionfruit and yuzu cheesecake lives long in the memory, as do all of their cheesecakes. With new flavours popping up to try each month, they have truly become the stuff of local legend.
