The Bristol Loaf

Helping an innovative bakery rise in a new location

The Bristol Loaf is a local, independent artisan bakery providing a community food hub in Bedminster, Bristol. The dynamic new space incorporates an organic sourdough bakery, Hugo’s Greengrocer, Two-Belly Cheesemonger and The Bristol Vine – an exciting, new organic & natural wine shop. Our aim was to create a unique shopping and eating experience with an emphasis on ethics and sustainability.

The interior look & feel of the 58-cover café and bakery blurs the lines between indoor and outdoor spaces through the use of beautiful bespoke wooden joinery and an abundance of plants. Soft glowing lanterns create a warm and welcoming ambience from early morning through to evening service. The materials palette is both natural and tactile whilst bi-folding windows along the glazed wall enable the site to have evening opening presence onto the street front. Part of our design brief was to refresh the brand’s identity and positioning, which was applied to the environmental design, digital design and packaging design.
