The slogan is bread and butter is forever. What began in the railway arches next to Hoxton station with a reluctant few tables and chairs inside the bakery has now morphed into half adozen shops around town. Bread is sold by the thirds. It is a long loaf.
There is a slushy modern fairy tale about how David and Charlotta met working in a bakery and fell in love. Fortunately for them they had second jobs in finance and within four months of opening their bakery in 2008 in Stockholm they had a second and now they are in London and New York. All very Scandi cliché cool. The original London bakery is in the arches by Hoxton station with a few chairs squeezed in among the baking trays but you have a sense of being at the source of something good. And it is very good. You cannot argue with the quality of the bread. The cinnamon rolls are popular and no surprise to find kambucha rather than coke.
