The Story
I started Hans and René in 2010, and since then it’s been an unexpected epic ride. I get asked all the time if Hans and René is a foreign company- after all, those names are foreign to Nigeria. Hans and René is actually a funny derivative of my twin sons’ names…. During a challenging time in my life, I found it incredibly cathartic to bake, and I still do. I began baking for my husband, siblings and friends. Thanks to their encouragement, and after several name changes, Hans and René was born.

The orders came in, and soon my home kitchen became our first bakery and my dining table, my first icing station. “I” became a “We” and our tiny team of “just me” became a team of three, then four. By year 3, we were out of my kitchen and into our current bakery in Victoria Island.

The idea for a Gelataria was a no brainer from inception; it just took 5 years to execute. Our passion for all things sweet meant that we just had to create a space where people could come and enjoy the best of our baked goods and Gelato: A place that people could feast both their eyes and their palates. In May 2015, we opened the first Gelataria in Lagos. Just like our baked goods, our Gelato is freshly made in small batches. And in December 2015, we added two more locations; produced from our flagship, and delivered closer to you.

In 2017, we opened two more outlets in Lekki. First was our mini outlet at IMAX filmhouse just for our movie lovers and in December 2017, we opened an outlet at the Upbeat Recreational Centre. In 2017, I also perfected my art at the prestigious Le Cordon Bleu Culinary Academy in London and I am now a qualified Pastry Chef.
