Our Story

Sunrise Bakehouse artisans baking sourdough

Who We Are

Artisan baking, shaped by skilled hands

We are a small, family-run artisan bakery. We make everything from scratch in our tiny shop. We use quality local and seasonal ingredients whenever possible and most of our flour comes from organic agriculture.

Our bread and pastries are shaped by skilled hands and they are baked fresh every morning — sometimes they are still warm when you come in. Our products are free from any additives, dough improvers, or preservatives.

"Our philosophy is simple: the best ingredients, slow fermentation process, and no shortcuts. Ever."

Our Journey

From Sourdough Spark to Sunrise Bakehouse

We baked our first loaf over 12 years ago when Liviu discovered sourdough at a permaculture workshop. We were both fascinated to see how only flour, water and salt can be transformed into a loaf with amazing flavour and nutrition.

After we shared a few loaves with family and friends, they were asking us to bake for them. Soon our kitchen was transformed into a micro-bakery and we found ourselves baking 100+ loaves weekly.

We decided to work at a few bakeries for the next 3 years to become more experienced, and we finally opened Sunrise Bakehouse in June 2020. Our shop is open 4 days a week, and we are genuinely grateful for every single person who chooses to buy our bread.
