Why Choose The Bread And Butter Project?

The Bread And Butter Project is known locally for sourdough and pastries that earn consistent praise, particularly the seeded loaves, rye, baguettes and brioche. Beyond the quality bread, there's genuine appeal in the social mission: it's a social enterprise that trains and employs people seeking refuge in Australia, reinvesting profits into employment pathways. You can find their loaves at local stockists including Harris Farm and independent cafes around Sydney, or order direct through their website for delivery and takeaway.

About The Bread And Butter Project

The Bread And Butter Project is a social enterprise bakery in Marrickville, and the story behind the loaves is a big part of why locals rate it. It trains and employs people seeking refuge in Australia in artisan baking, and puts all its profits back into training and employment pathways for its refugee trainees. So a loaf here supports something good, and the bread holds up on its own merits.

Sourdough is the heart of it, along with specialty loaves, brioche, rolls and pastries. We hear plenty of praise for the seeded loaf, the rye and the baguette, and one local called the Miche half loaf excellent, down-to-earth bread with a lovely texture. The brioche and croissants come up often too, and the savoury pastries get a good word for their dough, though one person found the eggplant and feta filling a touch vinegary. Staff come across as friendly and welcoming, and one visitor said a warm greeting turned a bad day around.

Much of the bread reaches people through cafes and grocers rather than a shopfront, so don't assume you can walk in and buy a loaf. Takeaway and delivery are listed, and as with anything that travels, freshness can vary, with one local disappointed by a pastry that arrived dry. Ring ahead to ask how to get your hands on the bread, and check the hours before you plan a visit.
