FineBake by Suzy

Maafushi


This lovely little locally run bakery is the brainchild of Suzy, who learned how to bake in Sri Lanka and has brought her love of baked goods back to her native island. It's a simple, cheap and unfussy place on Maafushi's main street, and is a great spot to get a simple lunch or afternoon snack.
