Toklas Bakery
Toklas Bakery sits at street level at 9 Surrey Street. On entering you first encounter an Italian-style marble and wood counter, displaying the baked goods of the hour. In the morning, we serve viennoiserie – croissants, pain au chocolat, cinnamon and cardomom buns, and often a fruit Danish. Breakfast dishes include a yoghurt with granola and fruit compote, both made in house; and a chicken porridge, made with British farro and topped with a boiled egg. Coffee is from the excellent Assembly roasters in Brixton. We rotate the blends to keep things interesting. There is plenty of space to sit.
The offering changes through the day. From around 11, we serve delicious sandwiches, made on our own freshly baked breads – sourdough, baguette and focaccia. There is always a salad, and sometimes a tartine or a soup, as well as strecci – our own Roman-style pizza slice, with changing, seasonal toppings.
Our breads are available to purchase and are served in Toklas restaurant, as well as several excellent restaurants around London. The sourdoughs use a YQ grain that’s milled in house and grown just for us by Green Acres farm. We currently also sell seeded sourdough, baguette, porridge sourdough and wholewheat sourdough.
There are always sweet options too. Recent bakes include a basque cheesecake, a chocolate and hazelnut cake, and a marzipan and strawberry brioche. Our cookies have become staples – bitter chocolate and honey; tahini; and vegan oat crunchie.
We have a range of house-made jams as well as our granola and biscuits to take away.
The bakery is open
