East Bristol Bakery is opening its second site this week to bring fresh bread, pastries and cakes to the Wapping Wharf shopping quarter. It has moved into a unit in the Cargo 2 development left empty by Bakers & Co after the company closed up in September.
The small craft bakery - which has been operating from St Marks Road in Easton for the past five years - is famed for its freshly baked Challah and cinnamon swirls. It has collaborated with The Public Market and Brockley Stores for the city centre site to serve up locally sourced produce including sourdough loaves made with Shipton Mill flour and sausage rolls using locally reared free-range pork.
Speaking on the new opening, East Bristol Bakery Managing Director Rob Hagen said: “Wapping Wharf is an incredible community which already hosts some of the best food around. We love the other retailers already there (Meatbox, Bristol Cheesemonger, Herbivore to name just a few) and some of our favourite restaurants!
