What goes into your bread? 
Water, flour, a pinch of salt and a whole lot of patience and craftsmanship. 

 
Do you slice your bread? 
Our bread is different from most. It has an 80% hydration ratio — meaning we add 80g of water for every 100g of flour. This gives it its signature texture and flavour while keeping it fresh for longer. Even after a few days, a quick reheat in the oven brings it back to life. 

This high hydration makes our bread too delicate for slicing machines, as the dough would stick to the blades. Our loaves are best sliced at home!

 
What's the best way to keep bread fresh? 
Ideally, in a bread box. Alternatively, store in a paper bag or simply with the cut side of the loaf facing down on a cutting board, covered with a tea towel. Unsliced loaves last longer than sliced ones — several days for wheat loaves and almost a week for rye. 

For the longest shelf life, store your bread in the freezer. You can use one of our paper bags or pick up a reusable freezer bag, available in our stores. 

I have a food allergy: are your products safe for me to eat?
The ingredients that go into our bread and pastries contain many common allergens, from wheat and dairy products to eggs and nuts. While we always take steps to avoid cross-contamination, we cannot guarantee that any of our products are safe to consume for customers with allergies. If you have questions about ingredients and allergens, please ask our staff.

Do you have vegan and gluten-free options? 
Our morning buns – like our krentenbol – and our sourdough loaves are vegan, but we don’t bake gluten-free products. Our colleagues at Craft Coffee & Pastry have great gluten-free options! 

Do you have vegan croissants?
No, we use butter (a lot of butter) in our croissants. If you're looking for amazing vegan options, we highly recommend checking out Margo's or Saint-Jean. 

Do you serve coffee? 
Yes, we take coffee just as seriously as our bread. We offer a variety of exceptional filter coffees. Read more about our coffees here.

 
Do you sell pastries?
We focus on bread, but we do offer a great selection of viennoiserie, from croissants to cinnamon rolls. 

What does viennoiserie mean? 
Viennoiserie refers to a category of baked goods made with laminated dough, enriched with ingredients like butter, eggs and milk. These pastries sit between bread and pâtisserie in terms of richness and texture. Classic examples include croissants, pain au chocolat, danish pastries, and brioche. 

Fun fact: the term actually comes from Vienna, Austria, but the techniques were perfected and popularised in France. 

Are your products halal? 
We are almost halal! We're always looking for great alternatives to replace non-halal ingredients — such as turning our ham and cheese croissant into a halal and cheese croissant. Stay tuned!
