baked it first.

Vovo Telo started here in Port Elizabeth in 2006. Today the Walmer bakery is the only one in the Bay, still baking fresh every morning.

Our story

Born in a settler cottage. At home in Walmer.

In 2006, Vovo Telo opened its doors in a restored settler cottage in Richmond Hill, Port Elizabeth. The name came home from a surfing trip to Madagascar and a small hotel called Vo Vo Telo. The bread came from a simpler idea: bake it properly, from scratch, every day.

That idea grew into bakeries across South Africa, from the V&A Waterfront to Sandton. And every one of them traces back to this city. The Walmer bakery keeps the original flame burning: artisan loaves, golden pastries and honest coffee, twenty years on.
