POP-UP RAIDS · NO FIXED ADDRESS
Here today. Gone by dessert.
Our pop-ups don't do advance notice. We show up, cause a small sweet riot and the trail goes cold the moment the last cup is licked clean. Informants on the WhatsApp tip-off line hear first. Everyone else hears about it afterwards.

George Sixes
Cricket, hockey, golf and padel, six-a-side, and we've staked out the sweetest spot on the sidelines. Spectators get in free, which makes you a very convenient witness. Come for the sixes, stay for the evidence.

Float Fest SA
One day, one river, one very sticky alibi. We're crashing the Garden Route's floating summer party — paddle over, grab a cup, float off with the evidence. No outside food allowed, so come hungry.
OUR CUPS · THE USUAL SUSPECTS
Meet the usual suspects.
Two cups. Countless witnesses. Made fresh on market day and gone before lunch — get there early.
EXHIBIT A · THE CLASSIC
Original Sin
Fresh strawberries buried under Belgian milk couverture chocolate. Simple, devastatingly effective — and usually the first thing to sell out at the stall.

EXHIBIT B · THINGS ESCALATED
Dubai Did It
Fresh strawberries, Belgian milk couverture chocolate, pistachio-kataifi filling and crushed pistachios. Crunchy, nutty, outrageous — the one people queue for and photograph before the first bite.
