our story
A tiny bakery with a very big oven.
Brioche started as a Saturday market stall with one oven and a lot of butter. Fifteen years later we still bake everything on Mercer Lane, by hand, before the sun is up.

Worth the queue, every Saturday.
“The croissant ruined every other croissant for me. I now plan my Saturdays around the 7am batch.”

“They made our wedding cake and three people asked for the bakery’s name before the speeches.”

“Best flat white on the east side, and the staff remember my dog’s name. Possibly also mine.”
