Inside 101 Bakery: Southside Sweet Fix with Rosanna

There’s usually a quiet queue at the door. A few people, hands in pockets, watching trays come out fresh from the kitchen. The sign above the entrance just says 101 Bakery, white on black, no decoration. If you show up late, you might find the shelves already cleared.

Inside, it’s straightforward. A small counter, handwritten labels, the smell of something just baked. The cinnamon buns are often gone first — soft, light, with just enough sweetness. Rosanna came up with the recipe before opening, not knowing it would become the most popular item. Her own favourite is the salted chocolate chip cookie. Chewy, fudgy, slightly crisp at the edges.
