Bread worth getting up for

Walk Bakery is a small neighbourhood sourdough bakery at 12 Mill Lane, Walkerton. Every morning from five we mix, shape and bake naturally leavened loaves, croissants and seasonal cakes, and we open the door at seven with the first trays still warm.

We bake in small batches and we close when we sell out, so what you find on the counter is always that morning's work. The cafe counter pours coffee from a roaster two streets away, and there is a bench outside for the regulars who like to eat their croissant in the sun.

We take orders for celebration cakes with three days notice, and on weekend afternoons we run small baking classes for anyone who wants to take a loaf home that they shaped themselves.
