Our Story

Three generations of women, one confectionery, and a passion for sweetness

From Home Kitchen to Sweet Shop

Woman Kitchen started in 2019 when our friend Ana Vuković opened a small confectionery on Ul. Maršala Tita in Bar. Her mother Milena had spent decades baking kiflice, krempita, and wedding cakes for neighbors — Ana wanted the whole town to taste them.

What began as a counter display of daily pastries grew into Bar's favorite sweet shop. Today we craft custom celebration cakes, hand-dip chocolates, and preserve traditional Montenegrin dessert recipes that Ana's grandmother wrote by hand.

Every cake is baked to order. Every truffle is rolled by hand. Whether you need a birthday surprise or a box of baklava for a guest, you are family here.
