The three bakeries are no strangers to both regional and national recognitions.
Farro, based in Brunswick Square in St Paul’s with its entrance facing Bond Street near Cabot Circus, secured a place in the highly coveted Bakers’ Dozen, a list compiled by British Baker magazine, earlier this year.

It also made the Good Food Guide 2025 list of the top 50 bakeries in Britain.
Another Bristol artisan bakery on the Good Food Guide list is Hart’s Bakery, tucked beneath two Victorian railway arches near Bristol Temple Meads. Hart’s was also named one of the UK’s most creative coffee shops in 2024.
The Bristol Loaf, founded in 2017 in Redfield, has since expanded to two further sites – East Street in Bedminster and the resident cafe at Bristol Beacon.
