Our story

From Ormes in 1908 to Jennifer and John today.

This bakery has been part of Wakefield since 1908, when it opened its doors as Ormes. For generations, neighbours have walked in for warm loaves, conversation, and the simple comfort of a place that has been here longer than most of us can remember.

Jennifer and John took the keys in 1996. They kept what mattered most. The scratch recipes. The early mornings. The unhurried care that turns flour, butter, and time into something worth the trip. Everything is still made by hand, each day, with ingredients chosen with attention.

More than a century in, we are still a village bakery. The kind your grandparents knew, and the kind we hope your grandchildren will know too.

What we bake.

A village bakery in the truest sense. Breads and pastries from scratch, breakfast and lunch from the counter, freezer meals for the week ahead, and good coffee while you wait.

Artisan Breads

Loaves that have anchored Saturday mornings in Wakefield for more than a century. Pulled fresh from the oven each day.

Pastries

Croissants, sweet things from the case, and the small handmade treats that turn a coffee stop into a moment worth keeping.

Breakfast

Start the day with a fresh croissant, something warm from the case, and a strong cup of coffee at the counter.

Lunch

A daily lunch menu built around what is best that morning. Simple, generous, made by hand right here.

Freezer Meals

Take-away meals made from scratch, ready for the freezer. A help for busy weeks, made the way you would make them yourself if you had the time.

Coffee & Retail

Espresso, drip, and a small shelf of carefully chosen pantry pieces. Stop in, sit down, take a moment.

Grassroots Farm Meats

Meat products from Grassroots Farm, raised nearby. A local partnership we are proud to put on our shelves.

Made by Hand, Daily

The thread that ties it all together. Hand made each day, with the freshest ingredients we can find, the way it has been done here since 1908.

Rooted in Wakefield

Three generations of village. We are part of the rhythm of Wakefield, and Wakefield is part of every loaf we make.
