About the bakery...
Our full range of breads, viennoserie and pastries is now available to take away from our Bakery shop at 6 New Bond Street Place, Bath (on the corner of Upper Borough Walls, just off Milsom Street). Try our signature 1.2kg sourdough loaves, rustic epis and fougasse, authentic french baguettes, trays of focaccia and much more. The shop is also bursting with tempting viennoiserie like our irresistable almond croissants, abricotines, brioche and the iconic Bath bun.
Upstairs is our brand new cafe where you can enjoy croques monsieur, tartines, soups, savouries and cakes with a vintage tea pot of boutique loose leaf tea or a bowl of coffee or hot chocolate.
All our breads, viennoiserie, pastries and savouries are made at our dedicated bakery in Bath with only the best ingredients.
Our usual opening hours are from 8.00am to 6pm Monday to Saturday.
The shop at the cookery school at St Andrews Terrace in Bath will continue to open on Saturday mornings.
