About Co.Bake Space

Swan Street’s antidote to bakery routine—a Richmond storefront powered by rotating pastry residencies rather than a fixed menu. Founders Alisha and Alice built the space as an open stage for guest bakers and pastry artists swapping out weekly. Crowd regulars track the pop-up dates and line up with a BYO box to haul away dense, wedding-tier slabs sold by the slice. The counter pivots fast: one weekend brings a nostalgic tuck shop bake sale stacked with Milo cake, chewy Fantale cookies, and fairy bread sandwiches; the next delivers concert-themed cookies and seasonal flower drops before the trays clear.

  • Rotating Baker Residencies: Guest bakers and pastry artists take over the Richmond counter on short residencies, turning every drop into a limited-run event.
  • By-the-Slice Bakes: Rich, wedding-style cakes sold by the slice alongside nostalgic tuck shop treats like Milo cake and Fantale cookies in BYO boxes.
  • Swan Street Event Space: A bright Swan Street venue designed for collaborative retail takeovers, bespoke pop-culture releases, and seasonal pop-ups.

  • Artisanal Holiday Celebrations & Gifts

    Holiday activations pair boutique patisserie with curated floral arrangements, creating ready-made bespoke gifts for family occasions.

    Seriously the yummiest cakes, my mum loved it for Mother’s Day.
