Our Story, Freshly Baked Daily

Raphaël Dequeker is originally from Brittany in France. He is the 3rd generation "pâtissier / boulanger" in his family.

His experience in the kitchen started at a very young age. His earliest memory in the kitchen was him cutting strawberries in the kitchen of his parents shop.

At the age of 16, he began an apprenticeship at a "Maitre Chocolatier" in Paris

He mastered his craft working with highly talented and world-renowned Chefs and Pastry Chefs (Alain Ducasse, Pierre Hermé...) in some of France’s most famous restaurants and pastry shops (Le Louis XV in Monaco, Ladurée in Paris...).

18 years ago, Raphaël, along with his wife Charlotte and their three children, moved to Greenwich and became the Head Pastry Chef at Valbella.

Raphaël has earned the reputation of being a hard worker and making delicious desserts. Also known for his outgoing personality, kindness, and French accent, Raphaël is excited for the opportunity to interact more with his clients.

What you will taste at Raphaël's Bakery is the product of passion, fine ingredients, hard work, and a lifetime of experience. Everything is baked on site.

Charlotte is helping behind the scene and you will likely see one of his three sons (Kelian, Bastian and Titouan) behind the counter, at one point or another.

Bon appétit!
