Mokoko is opening its first store in North Bristol at The Hangar, the new local social hub in the historic Hangar 16U at Brabazon. 

Serving its delicious freshly baked viennoiserie along with sourdough bread, handmade sandwiches and cakes, the bakery will be the go-to spot for residents and visitors to enjoy incredible food and drink in the heart of Brabazon.   

It will spill out onto a terrace overlooking Brabazon Park, making it the perfect place for catching up with friends over coffee or enjoying a family lunch. It is expected to open around the New Year. 

Mokoko has already been a hit with residents and visitors, with its pop-up serving hungry visitors to ‘The Birds’, the Gromit sculpture being hosted at Brabazon as part of Gromit Unleashed 3.

Sarah Ballinger, Managing Director of Mokoko Bakery, said: “We’re incredibly excited to be part of what’s happening at Brabazon. It is a bold new neighbourhood, centred around people and community, which is the perfect fit for us at Mokoko. 

“Our bakeries are built for connection, a place where people meet up to enjoy time together, whether it's enjoying a freshly baked pastry and coffee with friends, or simply watching our bakers at work, surrounded by the irresistible aroma of Viennoiserie and Sourdough.  

“The Hangar at Brabazon feels like the ideal place to bring our crafted products, whilst creating cherished community moments. We can't wait to share our handcrafted baking with the community at Brabazon and be part of this special journey”. 

As well as Mokoko, The Hangar will also feature a fitness centre and a wide range of activity rooms hosting a dynamic calendar of clubs, meetings, events and children’s parties. A spacious hall will provide the ideal setting for larger gatherings, from live music to comedy shows, public meetings, or family get-togethers. 

Sarah McBride, Partnerships Director at YTL Arena, said: “Our team has long admired everything that Mokoko stands for: A Bristol independent that’s proud to be different, serving quality, local food at the heart of the community. That’s what The Hangar at Brabazon is all about, so we can’t wait to welcome them to this beautiful historic building in just a few short months.
