Uniting the inevitable forces of gelato, cornetto, maritozzo, piccola pasticceria, and caffè, chef Fabio Bardi is back in Hong Kong with a new bakery to flex his sweet expertise.

Of former Tozzo fame, the pastry chef sees Wan Chai as his new home for Italian pastries and other sweet treats, freshly made with low-sugar, natural ingredients.

Set to open this summer 2026, Sugar Daddy will be serving fruit-forward gelato and sorbetto cups, cornetto breakfast croissants filled with custard and cream, mini pastries called piccola pasticceria, and his signature maritozzo Roman-style cream bun, a staple of Tozzo. 

The bakery opens next door to the former location of the late Happy Cake Shop (currently Happy Bakery), now operating a few blocks west. Selected vegan, sugar-free, and dairy-free options will also be on offer at Sugar Daddy.
