Crumb & Co Bethnal Green · est. 2014

Slow bread, small bakery, Wilton Way

Fresh bread every morning

Baked fresh at 6 am daily

Crumb & Co is a two-person bakery on Wilton Way. We mill nothing we don't need to, mix by hand at four in the morning, and sell out before the second bake. Bring a bag — the sourdough rarely lasts past noon.

The oven comes on at five, the hatch opens at seven.
