The Creative Kitchen also plans to serve as an incubator for rapid innovation with leading foodservice operators and iconic retailers who want to leverage the kitchen and team of pastry chefs.

As a learning centre, Creative Kitchen strives work with industry leaders. La Rocca’s Bakery team of over 300 bakers and students from renowned institutions as well as established chefs from Canada and abroad will continue their professional development within the La Rocca facility.

The concepts of playfulness and interactivity are central to La Rocca Creative Kitchen, from its architecture to its visual identity and packaging, created around the “tangram” theme: a puzzle that allows the creation of endless designs around a basic set of colourful geometric shapes.

In addition to La Rocca’s well-known cakes, the store will regularly features exclusive, limited-time premium desserts that are not available anywhere else and can be enjoyed on-site with a selection of coffees prepared by baristas.
