Flour, Passion, and Freshly Baked Joy Since 2000
Welcome to Coburn & Baker. We’re a thriving, fiercely independent artisan bakery nestled in Bevendean, Brighton, and we’ve been keeping Sussex happily fuelled by top-tier carbs for over two decades.
Whether you’re a bustling five-star hotel looking for the ultimate morning pastry, a quirky independent café in search of legendary sourdough, or a local foodie craving real bread delivered straight to your doorstep—we’re here to make your day a whole lot tastier.
From Brighton with Love: The Coburn & Baker Story
Our journey began back in 2000 with a simple, delicious dream: to bring authentic, high-quality baking to the heart of Brighton and beyond. Fast forward to today, and our talented team of bakers and pastry chefs are still hard at work in our Bevendean bakery, waking up before the birds to bake seven days a week.
We operate a little bit like the ultimate culinary backstage crew. Every single morning, while the rest of Sussex is still dreaming, we’re hand-shaping loaves, dusting flour, and packing up vans. Our mission? Delivering handcrafted artisan breads, exquisite patisserie, and show-stopping cakes to discerning restaurants, gourmet shops, and caterers all over Sussex and parts of Hampshire.
But we don’t just serve the wholesale world! We also bring that same bakery-fresh magic directly to local doorsteps in Brighton & Hove through our home delivery shop and convenient collection boxes.
We're also thrilled to announce that we've recently opened our very own bakery shop and cafe right here at our Bevendean site! Now you can pick up your favourite artisan loaves or enjoy our freshly baked treats straight from the oven in a cozy, welcoming space. Come say hello, watch the bakery in action, and treat yourself to the best coffee and carbs in town.
What Makes Our Dough Rise?
We don’t believe in boring baking. Our ovens are inspired by a rich tapestry of classical English, European, Mediterranean, and Middle Eastern baking traditions.
Kindly Baked
We have a dedicated vegetarian wholesale menu. We bake exclusively with free-range eggs and support fellow local businesses.
Baking for Everyone
Nobody should miss out. We've perfected a unique range of vegan, gluten-free, and vegan-gluten-free items. From red velvet cakes to artisan seeded rolls, our free-from ranges taste spectacular.
Artisan Innovation
From caraway sourdough to laminated almond croissants, we put care into every crumb. We collaborate with clients to develop unique, bespoke products and introduce seasonal limited-edition bakes.
The People Behind the Pastry
