ABOUT

Hamblin Bread is a neighbourhood bakery and cafe in East Oxford.

They make bread from stone ground British flour, water and salt, and use locally grown grain wherever possible. They also sell house-made preserves, cheese from Neal’s Yard, provisions and a small selection of natural wines, ciders and beer. Their cafe serves breakfast, lunch and filter coffee. The open space allows you to observe all the action of the on-site bakery.

On Saturdays and Sundays Kate & Hugo make pizza to order. They also run baking workshops and host regular evening events. They love talking about baking, so please get in touch or stop by the shop.
