Proofroom is the little bakery on the corner of your street. Sourdough, buns and proper coffee, made overnight in small batches by people who would honestly rather be asleep. Come early, or order ahead and we'll hide one for you.
Every Thursday we push the tables together and the bakery becomes the neighbourhood's spare room. Bring a friend. Bring your nan.
Scissors, glue sticks and a photocopier that mostly works. Leave with a zine and a bun.
Little hands, big mess. Kids shape their own rolls, then take them home warm.
Five minutes each: songs, poems, a really good joke. Leftover pastries for the brave.
Three steps, no app, no account. Just tell us what you want before bedtime.
Order online or text us the night before. A loaf, a dozen buns, a birthday's worth of scrolls.
Your order goes on the board and onto its own tray, set aside before the doors open.
Walk past the line (smugly), say your name, and it's yours. Pay when you collect.
These are sample quotes that show the layout. Swap in real ones, with permission, once your regulars say something nice.
I time the dog walk around the cardamom knots. The dog has started timing it too.
Zine night is the one evening my teenager talks to me. I suspect it's the buns.
Pick a bundle and a day, then collect it from the shelf with your name on. Pause or cancel whenever you like.
Anything else, ask us in person. We're the floury ones.
We bake with wheat and rye all night, so we can't promise anything is free of gluten. We do keep a couple of naturally flourless bakes; ask what's on today.
Yes, with three days' notice. Tell us the name, the number of candles and how many sprinkles is too many (there is no such number).
Step-free entry from the side lane, a ramp to the counter and an accessible bathroom. Tell us if anything gets in your way and we'll fix it.
For neighbours within walking distance, yes. Drop in on a quiet afternoon and we'll talk bread.
On the bench out front, always. There's a water bowl and, occasionally, a crust.
Find us on the corner of Example Lane and Placeholder Street, under the striped awning. Doors open at seven; the first tray is out at five past.
