The cinnamon bun
Coiled tight. Glazed thin. Eaten with both hands. The one most people order on a first visit and again on a second.
today's batch out at 09:00
70 High Street · Sevenoaks · in the old bank
Buns.Coffee.Jazz.
We bake the bread. The bank used to print money.
The room
A vaulted skylight, wood panelling, jazz playing. A bank for ninety years, a bakery now.
The building is the same as it was. The vault door is still in the back. The teller windows are gone, but the wood around them is original. We kept the room and added an oven.
People walk past, look up at the skylight, and come in. Most of them stay longer than they planned.
Made this morning. Sold this morning. Gone this morning.
The mozzarella pesto bun
Savoury and pulled-apart. Mozzarella from the centre, pesto folded through the dough. Built for a Saturday lunch.
available all week
The morning loaf
Long ferment, dark crust, deep crumb. Goes home in a paper bag. Some people buy two.
best before midday
What we kept
- The vaulted skylight, exactly as the bank left it.
- The wood panels around the old teller windows.
- The vault door, still bolted into the back wall.
- What we added
- An oven. A coffee machine. A pair of speakers playing Coltrane.
Where to find us
