A village bakery, baked by hand.

Our story

From Ormes in 1908 to Jenifer and John today.

This bakery has been part of Wakefield since 1908, when it was known 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.

Jenifer and John bought the bakery in 1996 and gave it the name it carries today. They kept what mattered most. 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 the freshest ingredients they can find.

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.

From our oven

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

Fresh loaves pulled from the oven each day, from seeded breads to the everyday classics.

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. It is the promise the bakery is built on.

Rooted in Wakefield

Part of village life since 1908. We are part of the rhythm of Wakefield, and Wakefield is part of every loaf we make.
