Jason Bakery has a bit of a cult following in the Mother City. Jason Lilley been the baker of choice for a generation of Capetonians - from his hole-in-the-wall bakery on Bree Street, laminating croissants by hand, to his current home in Green Point, with all the gear he needs to run a modern bakery/restaurant. I chatted to him about putting his name on the door and building an intensely personal and successful brand. It's all about his obsession with bread and pastry, his quirky sense of humour, creating spaces to enjoy with his friends, and being, at heart, a "motorcycle enthusiast". What a legend.
