Hand-baked
Fresh every day
Run by Joe
And a small team
Methven
On Main Street
Bread worth the trip to Methven
Joe started this bakery to do one thing properly: real sourdough, given the time it needs. We're a small team on Main Street, shaping every loaf by hand and letting the dough prove slowly so the crust cracks and the crumb has a bit of character. Alongside the sourdough we bake baguettes, cracked rye and seeded loaves, cinnamon knots and our oatmeal cookies, fresh each morning. It's a wee shop, so we tend to remember your name and your usual order. Pop in, have a chat, and take home something proper.
What our customers say
“Wonderful small team creating great bread. Was in Methven on holidays in July. Apologies for my late review. Just went through our holiday photos and ran into photo’s of the wonderful breads. Had a nice chat with you guys. …”
via Google“Quaint but very personable little shop run by Joe himself, with obvious passion on display. Well worth a visit and if I lived locally would be there weekly. …”
via Google“Very friendly service , one of which was Joe himself. We tried the cracked rye and seeded loaf and we had to try the cinnamon knots, and what can I say they're bloody lovely. Thank you to the tik tokker who put a post up about this place and helped us find this amazing baker”
via Google“Absolute gem of a place! The oatmeal cookies are phenomenal as is everything else really. Our favourite place near Perth.”
via Google“What a lovely little place. The staff were really helpful when asked a question. We chose some baguettes, and a sourdough with cranberries and pecans. Both were so tasty. Cane back the next week, got more baguettes and a rye based sourdough, which is now my favourite. …”

A few quick answers before you visit.
Where are you and is there parking?
We're at 104 Main Street in Methven, just outside Perth. There's on-street parking along Main Street, and it's an easy stop if you're passing through the village.
Do I need to order ahead?
Not at all, just come in. We're a small bakery and bake fresh each day, so popular bakes like the cinnamon knots can sell out. If you want to be sure of something, give us a ring first.
Can I put in a larger or regular order?
Yes. If you'd like a standing loaf order or something for a special occasion, have a word with Joe or call us on 07530 694382 and we'll sort it.
Is it takeaway only?
Yes, we're a bakery shop for taking home. Choose your bread and bakes at the counter and we'll bag them up for you.
When are you open?
Our full opening hours are on the Find Us section below. We're open through the week, and it's always worth coming earlier in the day for the best pick of the shelves.
