From Dawn's First Light, We Bake.

Founded in the heart of Richmond, First Light Patisserie is born from a simple love for time-honoured techniques and the finest ingredients. Our name reflects our daily ritual: rising before dawn to bake everything fresh, ensuring each pastry, chocolate, and cake is perfect.

We believe in sourcing locally, from free-range eggs from Surrey farms to the rich cream from British dairies, creating an authentic taste of artisanal excellence in every single bite.
