About

First-time visitors can expect a bakery counter in the village of Paje. Guests rate it 4.5 out of 5 from 92 reviews, a score built on steady feedback from the area. Paje sits on the east coast, reachable from Stone Town, Nungwi, Kendwa, Jambiani, Bwejuu, Kiwayu and Matemwe along the island's roads. That spread of nearby places means the bakery draws both guests based in Paje and travellers moving between the northern and southern stretches of the coast.
The bakery occupies a spot in Paje village itself, where the main road runs through the settlement. Zanzibar and Pemba have a tropical climate, hot and humid all year with sea breezes along the coast. Those coastal breezes temper the heat for anyone walking or cycling the short distance from the beachside guesthouses to the main road.
Pilau, biryani, urojo soup and octopus stew are common dishes on both islands. The coolest, driest months are June to October, when the kusi wind blows from the southeast. The Zanzibar red colobus monkey is found only on Zanzibar, and the Pemba flying fox only on Pemba. With 92 reviews and a 4.5 out of 5 score, the bakery has built a following among visitors and residents in Paje.
