Artisan bakery in Nueva Andalucía.

Keki's story

From dream to Bakery

It was a sunny afternoon in April 2020, and we were confined to our country home in the outskirts of Amsterdam. Pablo hadn’t been to work for a few weeks because the hotel was closed, as so many other hospitality businesses were at the time.

As time stopped, dreamers and doers saw it as an opportunity to get back to all those ideas that had been packed away for far too long. Pablo was no different! The idea of returning to Spain, settling in Marbella, and opening up a bakery, had been in his “one-day” drawer for years.

But suddenly, it was time to bring that idea to light and dive into planning…

Fast-forward to the summer of 2022, we found ourselves deep into refurbishing the beautiful shop we had rented in La Campana. The dream was about to become reality and Pablo was as excited to dig his hands into the dough, as he was about meeting his new neighbors!

We finally opened our doors in October 2022, and we’ve had the most incredible journey ever since.

KEKI landed in Marbella to present residents and visitors with a new concept of bakery and pastry. With an international background and vast experience, Chef Pablo is himself a fellow Andalucian, on a mission to delight his neighborhood with timeless flavors for the quotidian.

We have been lucky enough to partner with extraordinary local businesses in and around Marbella, to be featured in both local and national press, and to feel loved and supported by those who have made us part of their routine.
