Our story
Baked here, every morning, since 2016.
Juniper & Rye started as a weekend market stall with one stubborn sourdough starter named Doug. Today our bakers still fire the ovens at 4am, and everything on the counter is made from scratch in our open kitchen.

“The almond croissant alone is worth the drive. Staff remembered our order on the second visit and the kids loved the French toast.”
“Booked online for a Saturday brunch for eight - table was ready, coffee came out fast and nobody had to wait on a phone call. Brilliant.”
“We used them to cater our office morning tea. Everything arrived on time, labelled with dietaries, and it was all gone in twenty minutes.”
“Proper sourdough and a great flat white. Gets busy on weekends, so I just order ahead for pickup now.”
