Quality, Freshness, and Tradition: The Breadwinner Bakery Promise
At The Breadwinner Bakery, we're passionate about baking. Since 1973, our master craftsmen bakers have been kneading and shaping dough by hand in Edinburgh. We prefer to use traditional, simple methods and allow time to naturally enhance our products, rather than adding anything that would change the quality or flavour of our breads. We're proud of our heritage and work hard to supply breads, cakes and pastries that are locally made, freshly baked and full of flavour.
Our Values
At The Breadwinner, we value the art of craftsmanship and the importance of human touch in every step of the baking process. We believe that the quality of our products is second to none, and that's why we've built long-standing relationships with our customers, many of whom have been with us for decades.
Our Craftsmanship
We have a team of master bakers who have been trained in the craft of baking. These bakers show a love of the art of baking and use their skill to create our products. We produce visually attractive items that are healthy and wholesome. We are not reliant on machinery, so using the experience and adaptability of our bakers, we can change products to influence market trends and respond to client needs.
Our Service
We are committed to providing baked products of the highest standard. We are also committed to honest and close relationships with our customers, building their trust over time through great service. Our team of office staff is dedicated to providing excellent customer service, and we invest heavily in our IT systems to ensure we can meet our customers' needs.
Food Safety Standards
In order to ensure our food safety procedures are up to date, we are given a weekly audit by an external food hygiene consultant. We also go beyond the basic Environmental Health Department standards by being audited and accredited yearly to the SALSA food safety standard. We take food safety extremely seriously and are proud of our high standards.
Our Range
We have an extensive range of products for our customers to choose from, including artisan breads, pastries, cakes, and traybakes. We are proud to be one of the only bakeries that still use and teach the traditional Scottish artisan method. We also love to innovate and are always looking to improve on what we already do, so please don't hesitate to ask if there is anything you would like.
Our History
We have been a part of the Edinburgh community for nearly 50 years, and we have had the pleasure of supplying our products to many of Edinburgh's residents and visitors, including 2 Popes, Queen Elizabeth II twice, and Queen of Hollywood Liz Taylor, to name a few. We are proud of our heritage and are committed to continuing to supply the highest quality products to our customers.
