Their recipes are rooted in traditional techniques and natural ingredients, with a focus on using locally-sourced organic flour. What started as a passion for sourdough bread-making quickly transformed into a thriving business. The founder, Ben, turned his home in Hackney into a bustling bakery, complete with a clay oven fueled by off-cuts from local carpenters.

With a small group of bakers eager to learn and share their knowledge, e5 Bakehouse began its journey. Local chefs and the community rallied behind e5 Bakehouse, supporting them as wholesale customers and embracing their evolving offerings. What began with bread soon expanded to include lunches, coffee, hot drinks, and cakes, all made with care and delivered by locals.

At e5 Bakehouse, ethical and sustainable practices are of utmost importance. They source local ingredients that promote ecological health, working closely with farmers who share their vision of an Agrarian Renaissance. Their goal is to create healthy food for both people and the planet while inviting as many people as possible to join them on this journey.
