Back in January, we pegged Grain Culture for success this year in our Ones toWatch in 2019 feature – and it looks like we were on the money. After building a huge fan base through regular appearances on Ely market, this microbakery has opened the doors to a bricks and mortar shop on Fore Hill in Ely. The new enterprise sees owner Luca Fiorio creating small batches of exceptional bread plus irresistible sweet treats like cinnamon and salted caramel buns or Polish babka. There’ll be cheese fromHum-Closen too, plus natural and low intervention wines from Cambridge Wine Merchants, and an exclusive blend of filter coffee in collaboration with Brew Project. “The idea behind Bake Shop is simple,” explains Luca. “I want to put bread in the centre and offer, as well, some of the best produce that goes hand in hand with it. Therefore I’m collaborating with a bunch of cool people to bring the best experience possible!” Follow Luca on Instagram at @grainculturehq GRAIN CULTURE BAKE SHOP
