Hackney Bread Kitchen

Lawrence shared his love and knowledge of sourdough breads with three of us students on a Saturday. His enthusiasm is contagious! As a baker who’s not baked in many years, my learning curve was quite steep and I found the day extremely interesting with lots of new information. I imagine if you’re a longtime experienced baker you’d find new and forgotten knowledge return to you and the day will inspire you again. If a second class was available I’d surely sign up. Lawrence has a perfect baking kitchen and served us breakfast and lunch which were delicious! Attend and enjoy! 5 stars!

I attended a sourdough baking workshop with Lawrence at his micro bakery and I LOVED it. I joined the class with no sourdough baking experience and I left with ample information and tips on how to bake the perfect loaf. We learned how to bake 3 different types of bread (focaccia, rye and countryside sourdough) and I am now baking all three on my own. Lawrence was kind, informative and helpful even after the workshop. I highly recommend this bakery for its tasty bread and for the bread making workshop.
Thank you Lawrence !!

I picked the right spot for a comprehensive sourdough class! Lawrence is so knowledgeable and an incredibly kind host and teacher. The small group setting was really great to make sure we all had our questions answered. We spent the whole day laughing, baking, and snacking, and I feel much more competent in regards to sourdough baking. If you are considering taking a course, this is the one!

I had a great day learning from an experienced, enthusiastic teacher. Lawrence was also a very accommodating host. I basically spent the whole day baking and eating delicious food in his back garden. If you're curious about bread making then I can't recommend high enough!

Had a wonderful day yesterday on the beginners sourdough baking course with Lawrence. A special place, very knowledgeable baker who is passionate about his craft. I have my first loaf in the oven at home this morning. I wouldn't hesitate to book a course, invaluable and enjoyable time to spend a day

I attended the sourdough workshop. We made rye, country, focaccia, and crackers. We also tasted Lawrence’s danish seeded rye and cinnamon buns. All delicious. It’s a great class to get started. I had made sourdough 15-20 years ago before it was trendy, but I now realise where I had been going wrong. I’ll make my first loaf without supervision next week.
Hackney is now easy to get to for me using the Elizabeth line.

My partner and I were surprised with a sourdough class as a gift from our family. Lawrence came highly recommended and had a breadth (mind the pun) of experience. Lawrence was very accommodating taking on people of all experiences including ourselves as complete beginners.The day was organised well so that we had time to make four different types of bread, have a quick lunch and a good natter! The best part of the day was that we could take all of our bread home!

I have had bread, focaccia as well as buns from Lawrence on a weekly basis for a long time. All the products are very delicious, and often warm on arrival, which l love. The customer service is brilliant and reliable. l highly recommend Hackney Bread Kitchen to all the bread lovers.

Superb fresh sourdough bread delivered to your door every week made locally by a lovely bloke who loves bread too much. Classic Sourdough is up there with the best in London. Fantastic rye bread that even my 91 year old German granny said was great and she knows rye bread. She’s not said anything nice about anything since the 1980’s so that’s a compliment in itself. I always look forward to Friday delivery.

I've met Lawrence 3 years ago at a local market in Hackney and I was literally blown away by his amazing sourdough bread, but what really blew my mind was the FOCACCIA. Simply the best focaccia you'll ever get in the UK (I'm not kidding, I'm Italian and I know quite a lot about focaccias!). The texture is perfect, flavours enhanced by the rosemary and red onion slices that perfectly matches with the yeasty-ness of the bread, a real masterpiece!!! I've seen his business growing and he's now microbaking from the back oh his house, bike delivering all over East London, so if you want to eat some amazing bread and support a local business, do yourself a favour and subscrivbe to his weekly bread delivery, you won't be disappointed. Keep going Lawrence!

Honestly the best sourdough bread out there! The focaccia is also incredible, topped with onions and rosemary - irresistible! Hyper local, made with care in a micro bakery, and excellent service. I’ve been ordering for 3 years now and can’t recommend enough.

I’ve had the pleasure of having HBK bread delivered to me since the start, and rarely have I bought any other bread since. It is a delight to receive HBK fresh and often warm whole meal sourdough with seeds for my lunch, and delicious cinnamon or turmeric rolls for tea. The focaccia, porridge, and Danish rye also delicious. A great weekly treat baked with love and delivered by bike.
Popular throughout the neighbourhood!

Excellent bread, excellent service. We have had the weekly delivery service for two years and have no complaints. Indeed, we recommend it to people who live in our area. The bread is reliably delicious and the subscription is (in my view) great value for money. The consistency and convenience of the service have been especially helpful during the 'lockdown era.' Many thanks to the team at HBK for helping to make our lives just a little bit easier.

We’ve been having HBK bread delivered to our home for nearly 2 years - it’s amazing! Delicious bread and excellent service. Lawrence is lovely and I can’t rate this highly enough. I can recommend the Danish Rugbrod bread 👌🏼 And the focaccia 😋

We are regular customers of Lawrence at Hackney bread company. His sourdough loaf is the best in Hackney and there is lots of competition!
I recommend his cinnamon buns too- delicious!

Hackney Bread Kitchen is the epitome of "craft" baking as it is done on a very small scale by just one person with great dedication and almost completely by hand. Of course not all people who practise a craft are good at it - but lawrence actually is a real master and his bread is (I reckon) as good as you'd get around here, even taking into account the many other wonderful local establishments such as E5

Our weekly order of sourdough loaf and a magnificent slab of focaccia, topped with onion and rosemary, is always a delight. The loaf makes great toast or just fresh and crusty with soup or cheese. The focaccia is perfect with bruschetta, as good as its Genoese origins.

I signed up for bread delivery when we moved to the area & I couldn’t be happier with the service. Delicious warm loaves delivered to your door in time for the weekend. What’s not to love? There’s a good choice of cake & buns. I’ve tried most of them & they’re all fantastic.

HBK loaves will leave you crave for more. Truly authentic and organic. The best bread in the vicinity and far beyond. The loaves are rolled with passion of real roots blues.

Every week we cannot wait for Lawrence’s bread. Homemade & bicycle-delivered to your door, it’s the very best and totally delicious.
