Alex’s Bakery is a cake shop and cafe that has undoubtedly gone from strength to strength since they launched in 2014. And while they’ve been feeding hungry customers, the owners have been fighting food waste by partnering with the surplus food app, Too Good To Go.
Now, I know that Alex’s Bakery’s magic bags on the anti-food waste app are extremely difficult to get hold of. The venue is extremely popular with locals and tourists alike, and so they’re often snapped up within minutes of going live, with a limited number of cakes available.
But in June, while waiting for an Uber in town, I absent-mindedly checked the app and discovered one solitary Alex’s Bakery bag available to reserve - with a collection time of ‘right this blooming second’ - which happened to be 2.08pm.
