Have you tried our Clapton cafe yet? You can find it on Lower Clapton Road.

As with Walthamstow, expect our team to brew only the best specialty coffee. ☕

And while you're visiting, you can pick up freshly baked traditional, black sesame and rosemary & sea salt loaves, as well as a variety of cakes & pastries, filled focaccias, and toasted sandwiches.

Clapton is dog-friendly and laptop-friendly, with both dine-in and takeaway food options available.

We hope to see you there soon!

Not to be dramatic, but salads are having a moment at Today Bread. 🥗

We know when the weather heats up, there's nothing more refreshing for lunch than a crisp salad with fresh ingredients. Which is why we've introduced our summer salad menu.

Today's salad: The Greek Goddess

This Mediterranean lunch break in a bowl has pearl barley, crunchy veggies, baby spinach, creamy feta & Kalamata olives, dressed with a tangy honey, olive oil & red wine vinegar dressing.

Pop in and try it before we sell out! Available at our Walthamstow and Clapton cafes

Hey folks, I’m back in Mykolaiv, Ukraine, for this year’s visit to .for.ukraine ’s little bakery and team. 🇺🇦

This will be my fourth trip and I’m always grateful to see such enthusiasm, experience, and such a feeling of community, even in the most challenging circumstances. 

Sadly, the Swiss army truck we had as our Mobile Bakery is broken (it must be about 75 years old and I’m sure it has been well used), but we have a new bakery next to it in the DOF Centre with two small electric ovens. We’re using all the same traditional Ukrainian recipes to prepare breads, which are delivered twice weekly to the surrounding villages. 

We’ve baked about 250x breads over two days and are delivered them all to two villages about 1-2 hours away in the Kherson region. This is literally the bread basket of Ukraine, with miles and miles of wheat (and other) fields, with villages sprinkled between them. This area was initially invaded by Russia and then invaded again in the middle of the Ukrainian counter-offensive, so they have been very affected by the conflict (think power lines cut, fields full of mines, no water, etc).

When delivering, most of the people we meet are elderly and living in incredibly tough conditions (for example no shop at all and the next village is miles away on difficult roads). So to them, a loaf of bread isn’t just nourishment, but it reminds them that they haven’t been forgotten.

Thank you for supporting .for.ukraine charity and helping us get bread to those who need it most. “Changing the world one loaf at a time.”

Today Bread's Hackney Half marathon team is growing! Alex is running the Hackney Half for the 5th time and, this year, he's also joined by Karolina. 🏃‍♀️🏃

"Together, we're running to support Single Homeless Project () and the thousands of people they help every year on the journey from homelessness to hope. Every mile we run is for them, and every step is a reminder that everyone deserves a safe place to call home."

Single Homeless Project is London's leading homelessness charity operating in all 32 of London's Boroughs and supporting over 10,000 Londoners experiencing homelessness every year. The charity is there for Londoners, no matter where they are in their journey. They place each person at the centre of their support, building a trusted relationship and an environment where everyone can feel safe, heal, and thrive.

The Hackney Half is a great source of income for Single Homeless Project, as they have already raised over £50,000 from donates by runners, including Alex and Karolina!
