The story so far...
it's a way of living...
Traveling is our main source of inspiration and as a traveler you become curious and start having questions which makes you want to learn more about what, why & how.
This is what the journey of our shop is all about. Having the curiosity to question, learn and apply all of that in our own way and interpretation.
To create a space of openness that encourages people to coexist in the same place & let each celebrate their individual experiences and share it with the world through humble basic ingredients.

Where it all started
Curiosity started the journey of baking that lead to the birth of
" While I'm Baked" where a humble home kitchen & the curios hands of our owner & head baker Ahmed Al-Refai took on the challenge to start baking & eventually selling from home.
