Ten years of dark crust

In 2016, we opened Baker Bleu with a pretty simple idea: make the kind of bread we wanted to eat. Deeply flavoured sourdough, with a dark crust and plenty of time. We didn’t know exactly where it would take us, but we knew we wanted to make great bread and share it with the people around us.

Ten years on, a lot has changed. There are more ovens, more bakers and more neighbourhoods, but the bread still starts with the same simple things, heritage grains, flour, water, salt and time.


And along the way, you’ve made Baker Bleu part of your lives. You’ve picked up your usual loaf, brought us into your weekend rituals, shared our bread around your dinner tables and introduced us to your friends and families. Those everyday moments mean more to us than you probably realise.

So, as we celebrate ten years, we really just want to say thank you. To our bakers, our customers, our suppliers, our restaurant partners, our dedicated staff, our neighbours and, most of all, everyone who has walked through our doors and made Baker Bleu part of their day.

We’re incredibly grateful for the last ten years, and we’re excited to celebrate it.

There’s plenty more to come over the next month, and we’d love to share it with you. Keep an eye out for what’s happening across the bakeries.
