The Bristol Loaf Bedminster

Head down to Bedminster Parade and you'll spot the queues before you spot the sign. This is what happens when people actually care about their craft — The Bristol Loaf does the basics brilliantly, which somehow feels radical these days. You're after naturally fermented loaves with proper crust and crumb, and pastries that taste like butter and air rather than industrial shortcuts. The sort of place where regulars know the bakers by name, and you'll find yourself planning your week around their specials.
