Artisan Brand Directory

This directory is a curated selection of artisan bakeries chosen by The Artisan Founder. Our favourite places to shop for cakes and artisan bread online.

Each bakery has been selected for the quality of its work, the care taken in process and ingredients, and a clear sense of purpose behind what it produces.

Baking rooted in time and technique

Good baking depends on patience, judgement, and repetition. Sourdough, cakes, and baked goods made well reflect an understanding of fermentation, balance, and timing, alongside respect for ingredients and method. These are products shaped as much by experience as by recipe.

The bakeries featured here work in small batches, producing sourdough loaves, cakes, and seasonal bakes for both local customers and delivery. Their work values slow fermentation, considered recipes, and consistency over scale. Rather than chasing volume or novelty, these bakeries focus on flavour, texture, and baked goods made to be enjoyed as part of everyday life.

I hope you love the businesses I’ve selected for our directory and discover something beautiful on their websites.
