What to order
Hackney Wild Sourdough
The bakery's signature loaf since 2010, made using heritage cereals grown on their own off-grid farm and stoneground on-site.
Sourdough Toastie
A substantial and 'rustic lunch' option recommended by critics for those looking for something more filling than a pastry.
Croissants
The baking is considered exceptional, specifically these croissants which use three types of heritage flour and are laminated with raw cultured butter.
Rye Cookie
A 'constant' on the ever-changing menu that has earned a reputation as a reliable and essential order.
