The Story of Penny & Thyme

Every bite tells a story, and ours began with a simple dream: to create a warm, inviting space where the aroma of freshly baked goods fills the air and every customer feels like family.

Founder Penny baking fresh bread in a rustic kitchen.

Penny & Thyme Bakehouse was born from a deep-seated passion for the craft of baking and a desire to bring genuine, artisanal quality to the heart of London. Our founder, a dedicated baker with a love for traditional methods and a keen eye for flavor, envisioned a place where classic recipes meet modern creativity.

From the first loaf of sourdough to the intricate celebration cakes, our journey has been guided by a commitment to excellence and a belief in the power of good food to bring people together. We are more than just a bakery; we are a hub for community, a space for shared moments, and a testament to the joy of handcrafted deliciousness.

We pride ourselves on using the finest ingredients, often sourced from local London suppliers, ensuring freshness and supporting our neighbours. This allows us to craft pastries, cakes, and light lunches that not only taste incredible but also tell a story of provenance and care.
