Lawza Morrocan Bakery Teaming Up with Yummy Future Coffee

Lawza Bakery’s owner began baking beloved family recipes after moving to California, hoping to recreate the fragrant taste of orange blossom, honey, and almonds from childhood. Today, Lawza offers handmade, small-batch Moroccan pastries, like sesame-and-honey chebakia, delicate ghriba shortbread cookies, and almond-filled briwats, all crafted using carefully sourced ingredients such as California almonds, pure orange-blossom water, and natural honey. Each item delivers an authentic taste of Moroccan dessert culture. Whether you’re nostalgic for North-African flavors, curious about different types of pastry traditions, or just love artisanal baked goods, Lawza Bakery offers a warm, welcoming way to experience a slice of Moroccan culinary heritage in the heart of the Bay Area. Later this week, they’re hosting a pop up with Yummy Future, a robot coffee cafe. Check out the details below:
