Trinity Leeds is set to welcome The Savvy Baker this autumn, bringing a permanent home for one of the city’s best-loved independent brands.
Founded by Leeds entrepreneur Savannah Roqaa, The Savvy Baker first took shape during the Covid lockdown, when she began baking for friends and family. Her brownies and blondies quickly gained a loyal following on social media and grew into pop-ups and cafés across the city. Now, the brand is preparing to open its first permanent store at the heart of Leeds.
A key feature of the new unit will be a dedicated matcha bar, serving the brand’s most popular drink. Customers will be able to watch baristas prepare each cup to order, alongside enjoying Savannah’s freshly baked brownies, cookies and other treats. The store will also include a seating area for those who want to stay and enjoy the menu in comfort.
Savannah Roqaa, founder and director, said: “I’m beyond excited to be opening at Trinity Leeds, it’s a dream come true. From working at Topshop in the centre, to now launching my very my own store here, it’s a real full-circle, pinch-me moment. Trinity Leeds feels like the perfect home for The Savvy Baker, and I couldn’t be more excited sharing this moment with our amazing community. We’ll soon be announcing our official opening date, and I can’t wait to welcome everyone through the doors to enjoy our brownies, cookies, matcha and more.”
Steven Foster, Centre Director at Trinity Leeds, commented: “We’re thrilled to be welcoming The Savvy Baker to Trinity Leeds. It’s always exciting to support a much-loved Leeds independent and give them the platform to continue to grow within a prominent city centre setting. Savannah’s journey is a real success story, and we know our guests will be just as excited as we are to see her brand take this next step. The Savvy Baker will be a fantastic addition to our food and drink line-up, and we can’t wait for the doors to open.”
