WELCOME TO OUR WORLD

Abbot Kinney was an ambitious American real estate developer who spent his vast fortune on creating a replica of his favourite city, Venice, Italy. Called “Venice of America,” this resort town’s principal attraction is Abbot Kinney Boulevard, with a thriving restaurant, bar, and art scene. Inspired by Abbot’s drive and passion, Jonny Pisanelli was instantly drawn to his story and channels that tenacity into the development of his own business – Abbots and Kinney. Each of the stores are a fusion of wood and modern materials, a hommage to the artform of baking while also showing the modern creativity of the Abbots and Kinney brand.

Jonny opened the first Abbots and Kinney store in June 2015 in the CBD of Adelaide on Pirie St, where he baked every morning from the small on-site kitchen. He established a workforce of four employees including himself. Given Jonny’s well-established reputation in the pastry-game from From Scratch Patisserie (2010-2013), production very quickly outgrew the small kitchen at Pirie St, and all pastry, cake and bread production was moved to a larger premises in Albert Park in December 2016. This also enabled Abbots and Kinney to support a wholesale business, supplying cafés around Adelaide.

The vision of Abbots and Kinney is to make people happy through shared experiences of food, coffee and human connection. The quality of our coffee and pastries is as equally as important to us as the customer experience in our shops.

The commitment to this vision has been reflected in the on-going recognition that Abbots and Kinney receives through various peer-reviewed and customer-driven acknowledgments. We have been named in the QANTAS Travel Insider as one of the top 23 bakeries in the world and our customer reviews on Google and Facebook are outstanding.
