Our Story
Christine’s Mikate was born from a desire to honour my mother´s traditional welcoming treat while adding a modern twist. Mikate—also known as Beignet, puff-puffs or African doughnuts —are a cherished part of our culture, often found at family gatherings, street markets, and celebrations throughout the occasions. We’ve taken her timeless recipe and carried it down through our generation and given it a delicious new twist, while still holding true to its roots.
Christine’s Mikate is handmade with love, care, and a deep respect for tradition. Soft on the inside with a golden, delicate crust, each piece is crafted to bring comfort and joy—like a warm hug in every bite. At its heart, Christine’s Mikate is more than just a treat—it’s a way to share culture, create memories, and celebrate the feeling of home. Whether you’re discovering mikate for the first time or reconnecting with a nostalgic favourite, we invite you to experience the warmth and heart baked into every batch.
​
We offer a variety of flavours—from classic vanilla and banana to warm cinnamon, zingy ginger, and more—each one crafted to compliment our traditional mikate with a fresh twist. We also have gluten-free options that are just as fluffy and flavourful, so everyone can enjoy a sweet, comforting bite made with heart. However you like it, there’s a mikate here to make your day a little warmer and a lot more delicious.
