About the bakery
A neighbourhood bakery on Piccadilly
We opened in summer 2025 with a simple aim: bread worth walking for. Everything is baked fresh each morning — from our overnight-slow sourdough to seasonal sweet things.
We also bake a dedicated gluten-free range, because nobody should miss out on a good croissant.
