Sourdough

Our handcrafted sourdough is made using long, traditional processes. A day in advance, our dough is left to ferment overnight for around 16 hours. This slow fermentation process gives our bread a depth of flavour and texture that builds up naturally. The following day, once fermentation is complete, each loaf is proved, shaped and stone-baked. So, the bread you see on our shelves each morning truly is as fresh as it comes.

Whether you fancy our German inspired Five Seed Sourdough, Mark’s signature Pain au Levain or our stone-baked Pain de Campagne baguettes, our Sourdough range means there’s something for everyone. Dunk it in a gooey baked camembert, layer it up for a toasted sandwich, or top it with a generous helping of salted butter and jam. We really do have bread for every occasion.

Coffee

The coffee in our coffee shops comes from our longstanding suppliers, Clifton Coffee Roasters. Their single-origin beans are sustainably farmed in Brazil, and naturally pulped, with the flavour profile changing depending on the roast. This gives the coffee a rich, easy-drinking flavour with notes of rum raisin, dark chocolate and marmalade. Not only is it the best coffee we’ve tried, but Clifton Coffee’s ethos is a match made in heaven with ours.

Whatever you fancy, our specialist team of baristas will make sure you get the very best flavour in every cup. Whether you prefer dairy milk, oat, coconut, soya or almond, we have a selection of milks to suit you.

Whether you’re looking for an artisan bakery, patisserie or coffee shop, look no further. You can find us at various locations in Poole, Broadstone & Christchurch.
