Richmond’s famed food street is getting another addition this fall.
Signage has gone up for a new bakery called Savor Hill, spotted undergoing renovations beside Tang Vietnamese Restaurant on Alexandra Road.
The new storefront completely took over a former wedding shop and has been gutted from the inside out, now showing signs of life as a future café-bakery concept.
But what exactly is Savor Hill?
That’s still mostly a mystery.
When we walked by, the staff inside weren’t keen to share many details, only saying that the bakery would be offering Asian-style cakes.
The window signage does offer a tiny peek into what’s coming.
Printed across the glass are Chinese characters that roughly translate to “freshly baked daily,” suggesting that this will be a spot for warm, out-of-the-oven goods on the regular.
A sharp-eyed Noms Magazine community member (alannnblu) dug a little deeper and found the brand identity agency linked to Savor Hill.
According to the agency’s portfolio, Savor Hill is described as a milk tea and Asian bakery store, signalling the spot may include drinks alongside their baked offerings.
While there’s still no official online presence or launch announcement, the staff shared that they’re aiming for an opening sometime in September.
Savor Hill will be joining the wave of upcoming food spots arriving in Richmond soon, like Swiss chocolate brand Läderach, Hong Phat, and Max’s To Go.
