Archipelago Artisan Bakery Archipelago Artisan Bakery is an artisan bakery and cafe. We make fresh organic bread, cakes, salads, soups every day. Open Monday to Saturday 9am-5pm.

Caroline Walsh has worked in the food industry professionally for 10 years and has cooked all her life. She has excellent knowledge of baking and artisan bread-making and has undertaken numerous bakery courses including one with local artisan baker Andrew Whitley of Bread Matters. Most recently, she has worked as head chef at the Fruitmarket Café. Prior to this she helped to set up Loudons Bakery in Edinburgh in January 2011 and was Head Baker there for just under two years. She has also worked in Paris for the well-known Rose Bakery. She has also spent time cooking in Greece, Sweden and Norway. Much of her bread and cakes are inspired by her work and travels abroad. Caroline believes that what you put into baking is reflected in the end product and she works hard to create recipes and flavours which are just a little bit different. Caroline also has a keen interest in the ingredients she uses. At Archipelago she aims to use local produce where possible such as carrots, parsnips and beetroots in her cakes, or produce picked from the garden or from one of her many foraging trips! Blackberries are picked locally for the jam and elderflowers in June to make cordial for the cakes!

Lovely new jars of Autumnal Jam freshly made and on the shelves! Local organic apples and blackberries and a sprinkle of cardamom. It's really not very sweet so if you like a full on sugar hit then this might not be for you!

New to the shelves every Friday...sourdough baguettes!
I tried some for lunch without anything on it, which I always think is the best way to work out if a new bread recipe tastes good and I can definitely say hands down that these hit the spot! Lovely crust and soft on the inside and they taste really delicious! I would happily eat one of these with nothing on it, but go ahead and add butter/jam/cheese/your filling of choice!
Now on the shelves every Friday and handmade by Erik.

Monday is the day for our Sodabread! I always forget to take a picture and then it sells out, but today I actually remembered!

It's made with our organic wholemeal malthouse flour, tangy buttermilk, seeds and a few other secret ingredients! It's nutty and wholesome, soft on the inside with a lovely golden, crunchy exterior. It's still one of my favourite loaves that we make and i have been making it for 30 years now! It's delicious with butter, avocado, hummus or jam! Serve with soups, stews, chilli etc. Naturally leavened with buttermilk and bicarbonate of soda, no additives/preservatives/sugars.

Your perfect Sunday morning cosy Autumn slice of cake! Devonshire Apple cake made with apples freshly picked from the garden by Dad yesterday morning (Thanks Dad!)plus wholemeal organic spelt flour, some warming spices and a crunchy caramelised topping.

On the counter today, but if you can pick up a slice or two to take home for puds then warm it up and serve with cold vanilla ice-cream and it would be even more delicious!
