Putting Soul In

Avenues | Issue 235 | June 2025

Sisters Rea and Taina Scur of Sweet Soul Pâtisserie have crafted a one-of-a-kind dessert to honour Matariki – a creation rooted in native flavours.

Since moving to their new prime location on Christchurch’s Cashel Mall, the Brazilian-born duo noticed a growing interest from both locals and tourists seeking desserts that taste distinctly of New Zealand.

“They love our concepts,” says Taina, “but they wanted something that truly speaks to this land – something more than marmite.”
