The story, the people and the suppliers behind every loaf at Crumb & Co..
Since 2018
One oven, one starter and a very early alarm
Hannah opened Crumb & Co. after ten years baking in London kitchens, with a second-hand deck oven and the sourdough starter she had kept alive since culinary school. The oven is new now, the café has doubled in size, and the starter is still going strong.
We are a neighbourhood café first: a place for school-run coffees, laptop mornings, birthday cakes and Saturday queues. Everyone is welcome, including your dog.
What we believe
Three things we never compromise on
Real ingredients
Stone-ground flour, free-range eggs, real butter. No mixes, no premixes, nothing frozen.
Less waste
We bake in small batches through the day, and what is left at closing goes to a local food charity.
Everyone welcome
Vegan and gluten-free bakes every day, high chairs, step-free access and water bowls for dogs.
The team
The people behind the counter
