The Spence Bakery

The Spence Bakery Bringing carbs to N16 since 2002. We are an independent bakery in Stoke Newington. Founded in 2002, we are proud to be an independently owned and run business.

Headed up by Katherine Lockwood and Liz Whitaker, and their team of talented bakers and baristas, we love being in the centre of a wonderful neighbourhood. We know there’s nothing quite like a freshly baked loaf, that’s why
we make all our breads and baked goods by hand, from scratch
each day in our bakery in the heart of Stoke Newington Church Street. We also know delicious bread takes time, so w

e slow down the process. letting our dough mature overnight. allowing a fuller flavour
& superior texture to develop. You won’t find any nasties in our breads, just simple ingredients handled with care and attention. A proper loaf from a proper bakery.

The art department has gone to the pub, and someone’s eaten all the hot cross buns… how the hell are we going to tell you about our Easter Weekend special?!

Well, if it’s good enough for Blue Peter, it’s good enough for me.

Bacon rolls are ON tomorrow (Good Friday) and Saturday. We’re closed on Sunday, so get ‘em, quite literally, while they are hot. If you ask nicely, we’ll even stick in an HXB, ya filthy animal.

Upgrade your bun, upgrade your life.

🎄Are you beginning to feel Christmassy?🎄

Only just a little bit? 🤏

Well then, our mini panettone are perfect for you.

Not too razzle dazzle, light up jumper, novelty Santa hat “It’s ChriiiiiiiistMAS!” vibe. More, oooh, that’d be nice with a cuppa, a light frost and some gently jingling sleigh bells.

Whether you or we’ve got you covered all the way through to the big (or little. You do you) day.

As the the late, great Louis Armstrong once posited…

ZAT YOU SANTA CLAUS?! 🎅 🥧

Y’know, it bloody well might be! MINCE PIES ARE BACK, BABY! And they are better than ever. The shortcrust pastry is *chef’s kiss* this year. Filled TO THE BRIM with our boozy mincemeat, they might just make your Christmas.

Hot out of the ovens every day until the 24th 🎄

🎶 I always feel like somebody’s watching me 🎶

Keep your eyes 👀 peeled today for some spooky treats at the bakery 🎃!

This Halloween we’re taking part in the Trick or Eat Trail between 4pm and 6pm - collecting vital supplies for Hackney Foodbank (remember, we close at 5pm, so do feel free to pop in earlier in the day!)

Lots of local homes and businesses are taking part in the trail. It’s a really fun way of celebrating Halloween while supporting people experiencing hardship. Check out the map at www.trickoreat.co.uk!

We’ve got some very special treat bags for the kids today, so do come and see us when you’re out trick or treating.

And please, do make a donation to Hackney Foodbank if you can. There’s loads of drop off points along the trail, or you can follow the link below:
