Bred co Sourdough Bakery

Gluten free bread, I like that. Coffee was really nice. Also got some lil rolls that I think will go very well with some cheese.

Bred Co has a vibe all its own — warm, welcoming, and always buzzing with locals in the know. I’ve been buying and enjoying their incredible bread for over 10 years — first at the Albany Markets, then at their bakehouse in the Business Centre, and now at their buzzing, artisan bakery at the top of town. There is truly no other bakery in the region like it. I just had to hop on and give them a shoutout because I’ve seen a few negative posts recently and honestly — they feel fake or completely off the mark. This place is the real deal. This is true farm-to-table food. They source local organic grain, mill it in-house, and craft the most delicious sourdough loaves you’ll find anywhere. There’s so much to choose from: wholemeal, rye, fruit loaf, baguette, high-top, even a gluten-free option. And then — the croissants. Their viennoiserie (croissants, danishes, and other pastries) are made entirely from scratch, right here in Albany — something most people don’t realise. Everyone else buys them in frozen or freighted down, unless they’re smart enough to get them wholesale from Bred Co. These are next level — buttery, flaky, and always seasonal. No tinned fruit in sight! My darling 82-year-old mother lives for her delivery of almond croissants and the latest sweet (or savoury) Danish, always paired with a perfect extra-hot latte. If you’re after lunch, their sandwiches, quiches, sausage rolls and pies are also made fresh and follow the seasons — simple, thoughtful, and full of flavour. The coffee is consistently excellent, and the vibe is always relaxed and inviting. The only downside? If you turn up too late, your favourites might already be sold out. But honestly, that’s just proof of how loved this place is.
