Welcome to Aphra Bakes – a warm, family-run café nestled in the heart of Stirchley.
Founded by local baker Aphra Anderson, Aphra Bakes is the culmination of a lifelong love of baking, creativity, and community. After moving to Stirchley seven years ago, Aphra honed her skills working in a range of cafés – including her mum’s and the renowned Ottolenghi in London – before returning to her roots in the kitchen.
What started as a passion project from home quickly grew into a thriving baking business, thanks to Aphra’s distinctive artistic flair. She specialises in beautifully hand-painted cookies, intricate pie art, and whimsical gingerbread houses – each treat crafted with care and personality.
At Aphra Bakes, we offer more than just sweet creations. Our menu features a selection of traditional homemade cakes, bespoke biscuits, and savoury favourites like tarts and focaccia pizza. To pair with your treats, enjoy expertly brewed coffee made with beans roasted locally by Quarter Horse in the Jewellery Quarter.
Aphra created the café as a place to bring together her favourite things: good conversation, great coffee, and joyful baking. Whether you’re popping in for a quick slice or placing a custom order, we can’t wait to welcome you.
