Bakery & coffee · Oat Lane, Bristol
Bread before
sunrise.
Sourdough out of the oven at 6:40. Coffee poured until seven at night. A window seat, if you’re quick.
Your morning deserves better than a vending machine.
A croissant in crinkly plastic, a coffee from a button, eaten at a desk. You were going to buy breakfast anyway. It might as well be worth getting up for.
Listen for
the shatter.
French butter · folded over three days
Out of the oven at 6:40, torn open by 7. That’s the whole point of coming early.
It tastes like someone got up at four.
Because someone did. The loaves go in before the street lights go off, the milk is steamed to order, and nothing on the counter was made anywhere else.

No. 1 · the classic
Butter croissant.
French butter, laminated over three days, baked until it shatters.
Seven till seven.
Sun on the wall, bread on the shelves, and a table by the window for the early ones.
Out the door
by 7:15.
Order ahead, pick it up from the end of the counter, keep walking. No queue, no waiting, still warm.
Questions, answered.
Do you have oat milk?
Oat, soy and whole milk, all at the same price. Decaf is made with the same beans as everything else.
Can I order a whole tart or a cake?
Yes. Give us 48 hours and pick it up any morning. Order at the counter or add a note to your collection order.
Is there somewhere to sit?
Twenty-two seats and a window bench. Laptops are welcome until noon; after that the tables are for lunch.
Are dogs allowed?
Always. There’s water by the door and a biscuit behind the counter if you ask nicely.
What happens to leftover bread?
Sourdough goes half price after five, and anything left at close goes to a local shelter the same evening.
