The Borealis Bakery, renowned for its Draenei-inspired sweet and savoury baked goods, has recently struck a deal with Goldman's Café in Boralus to operate out of their location. Starting a few weeks ago, the bakery will open its doors to Boralus residents every Monday, offering a taste of its unique creations right in the heart of the city, in Upton Borough.
Viiumi, the mastermind behind Borealis Bakery, has been running her travelling bakery for over a decade. Originally from Azuremyst, she began baking as a way to support her fellow survivors after the crash of the Exodar.
"Baking is one of the cornerstones of society," she stated during an interview with The Lion's Roar.
"It was such vital work—baking simple bread for my peers—but it was also incredibly fulfilling. That's when I knew this was my calling."
Over the years, Viiumi has refined her craft, incorporating a variety of ingredients and recipes from different cultures across Azeroth. The bakery’s menu is diverse, ranging from Draenei staples like the Ammen loaf to the more adventurous galaxy-glazed doughnuts. Recently, items such as gingerbread Draenei and sand pear pie have become customer favourites.
Viiumi's dedication to authenticity and inclusivity is clear.
"I want to be inclusive but stay true to the cultures from which the recipes originate," she said. This approach has made Borealis Bakery a beloved vendor in markets across the continent, from Stormwind to Ashenvale.

Operating mostly on her own, with occasional help from a friend, Viiumi manages the busy schedule of her travelling bakery. She sets up shop regularly at various locations, with Mondays now dedicated to Boralus.
"It's a busy time, but I love what I do," she shared, adding that she’s currently developing new recipes for more traditional bread and survival hardtack, catering to adventurers on the go.
The partnership with Goldman's Café is a significant step for Borealis Bakery, allowing it to reach a broader audience in Boralus. As Viiumi continues to explore new flavours and refine her offerings, it’s clear that her passion for baking will keep Borealis Bakery at the forefront of Boralus' culinary scene.
Boralus residents can look forward to sampling Borealis Bakery’s delights every Monday at Goldman's Café. Whether you’re craving a crescent croissant filled with moonberries or a loaf of traditional Draenei bread, Viiumi's creations are sure to impress.
