The Breadwinner Bakery

The breadwinner is full of untidy unproffesional bakers and i have been waiting 1 month for my last wage and it is ridicoulos the breadwinner is a joke

When they’re not serving customers croissants and french sticks, the bakers at the Breadwinner are usually kneading, rolling and stretching fresh dough.
An Edinburgh institution that supplies over a hundred different cafes and restaurants in the city, they produce everything from, wholemeal and granary loaves to baguettes, bloomers, brioche, sourdough, soda bread and rye bread. They also make lovely fruit tarts and cakes. I popped in recently to try their chocolate and beetroot cake but as there wasn’t a slice left, had to settle for an almond croissant and mini spinach quiche. The former was deliciously flaky and sweet and the latter was wholesome and nutty.

Oh. My. God. If you’re attempting the Atkins diet then stay well away from this place. The smell alone will lure you in before you can stop yourself!
A few years ago I lived on this edge of Marchmont and my nearest bus stop was almost slap bang outside this little place, and I can safely say I could count on one hand the number of times I didn’t buy something from here whilst waiting for the bus. Being a small place, the service is really riendly and personal, and the staff recognise you after your first few visits. Or first few dozen, in my case.
The quality of the things they make speaks for itself: local restaurants buy their bread instead of baking their own. But my personal favourites are their cakes — the Apple Bramble cake is so good you’ll forget that calories even exist, and the Chocolate Chilli cheesecake isn’t far behind.
Yum.
