Cooper's Bakehouse started in the back garden of founder Francis Cooper in 2012. Building a wood fired oven the bakery began delivering to homes, shops and cafes. To meet demand Cooper's Bakehouse moved into Dragonfly Place in 2014. We have always delivered all of our bread to homes by bicycle and we now deliver all of our wholesale bread by cargo bike as well; in 2022 we delivered more than 100,000 loaves of bread by bike. (Here’s the Cross River Partnership case study into our transport choices.)
Cooper's Bakehouse uses organic flour, water, organic salt and fresh yeast in our bread. We make real, slow-fermented, breads that are healthy and full of flavour. In line with our environmental ethos, our power is all sourced from Ecotricity.
In 2017 we ran a successful Crowdfunder campaign to support the purchase of a new oven; we’re so grateful for the powerful community support that made this possible. This is the film we made to support our campaign:
In 2012 Cooper’s Bakehouse began by delivering in Brockley, we now deliver to homes in a wide area of South East London and our wholesale bread travels by bike to Central London.
