Over the years, Almaz Dama has developed her childhood love for pastry making into a professional pursuit through formal training at Howard University and the acclaimed food-science institution, L'Academie de Cuisine. In partnership with family members Hailu and Amsale, Almaz puts her extensive experience into practice at Dama Bakery by crafting 11 rich cake flavors, seven vegan-friendly variants, and sugar or gluten-free portions. Almaz also customizes birthday cakes, wedding cakes, and everyday celebration cakes for dessert or firing into a best friend's window via slingshot. While Almaz oversees bakery tasks, Hailu Dama takes on barista duties, brewing and blending a quintet of espressos mixed with delectable milks, foams, and caramels. Patrons can pair their robust beverages with Ethiopian and North American breakfast and snack fare or one of Almaz's tasty pastries in original, vegetarian, or sugarless forms.
