Launched as a cake hatch just after Covid - and now encompassing a full bakery operation and bistro, the Oldham business has blossomed, becoming a popular spot for locals and visitors alike
If you're not local to Oldham, you might initially find it a bit tricky to track down the new bakery and bistro that people are travelling from all over to visit. However, even though it is tucked away down a residential street just outside of Oldham town centre, you really can't miss the building that Wonderlust calls home.
"My mum is a massive inspiration to me, it's rare to come across Asian women fronting businesses. And especially after being widowed, most people would curl up and not want to carry on, but she hasn't give up." Adding an Instagrammable quality, the entrance features a seat adorned with flowers, while the bar and cake counter is lit up by a bright purple sign.
Then, when I was 21, I began doing custom cake orders like celebration cakes and cupcake orders. I did a patisserie course at college, but I didn't do more than two weeks, it wasn't for me and my hands are to shaky for the intricate pastry. And, while there's plenty of brunch spots in Manchester, Saarah feels that her unique selling point is the team's ability to provide high-quality Halal brunch, roasts and desserts in a beautiful café setting. "I don't think there's many places that stand out for Halal food where the design is nice and the food is really good," she says.
On the brunch menu - available Wednesday through Sunday - diners can treat themselves to everything from pancakes topped with honeycomb and more than a drizzle of chocolate sauce, to full English breakfasts and French toasts in varieties spanning Kinder, pistachio and s'mores.
