Margarita Constanti Salamakis is facing legal action in the NSW Supreme Court after issuing an eviction notice to Marrickville vegan bakery Miss Sina, which denies breaching its lease or missing rent payments.
The bakery’s co-owners, Jacques Dumont and Sina Klug, lodged an extended caveat on the title of 132 Illawarra Rd to prevent dealings while the matter is before the court.
The couple’s barrister, Doran Cook, told Judge Geoff Lindsay they hoped to resolve the issue with Salamakis before the next court date on June 24.
“We just want to get on with baking, your Honour. It’s a small business,” Cook said.
Since launching a GoFundMe campaign to cover legal fees, Miss Sina has raised nearly half of its $50,000 target. The business, which opened in September 2022, has become known for its vegan croissants, cinnamon scrolls, and cakes.
Describing the café as “our home” and “dream,” Klug has received an outpouring of community support.
“Owners Sina and Jacques repeatedly show up for the community and now it’s our turn to show up for them,” said customer and fundraiser organiser Tom Koski, citing the bakery’s support for causes like dog rescues, community classes, and food donations.
