About Corner Bakery

Our story

I'm Priya. I started baking sourdough at home in 2019, mostly to stop buying sad supermarket loaves. Friends kept asking for one, then their friends did, and in 2022 I took the lease on the old shoe repair shop at 14 Alder Street and put a deck oven in the back.

There's no big secret. The starter is seven years old, the flour comes from a mill an hour up the road, and every loaf gets two days to prove. We bake what we can bake well in one morning, and when it's gone, it's gone.

You'll usually find me at the counter with flour on my forearms. Say hello, tell me how yesterday's loaf toasted, and have a look at what's still warm.
