Onion bhajis are made using gram flour, which is derived from chickpeas; Joe’s bhajis are vegan and contain no declarable allergens.
They are best enjoyed on the day of purchase, or refrigerated and eaten the next day.

We’re happy to announce that we’ve had another win!
Our City Loaf was awarded White Loaf 2019 at the national Britain’s Best Loaf awards, hosted by British Baker.
The City Loaf is a soft white loaf enriched with milk, butter, and extra virgin olive oil – it’s delicious!
Our softly baked Easter Biscuits are made with Greek currants and oil of Cassia – the traditional spice used in Bristol baked Easter biscuits.
Tsoureki is a Greek Easter sweet-bread characterised by two particular ingredients – the spice Mahlab which is obtained from the stone of the St Lucie Cherry, originating in the eastern Mediterranean region; and Mastika which comes only from the Greek Island of Chios.
These products are now available in our shops.
Last year our Easter Bread won the Innovation Award in the national Britain’s Best Loaf Competition. It is a delicious wheat and rye bread containing cherries, mixed citrus peel, hazelnuts, walnuts, and fresh lemon zest.
The Bread Store will be carrying all of Joe’s Bakery Easter products, as well as our shop at the top of Gloucester Road.
Our Easter opening hours are as follows:
Simnel Cake is traditionally associated with both Mothering Sunday and Easter. The 11 marzipan balls around the top represent the 12 Apostles minus Judas.
A traditional lightly spiced English fruit cake made with fresh butter, Simnel Cake also contains candied cherries and citrus peel, currants, sultanas, fresh lemon zest and, of course, a layer of marzipan in the middle and on top.
Available from both our shops by the slice or whole cake, our Simnel Cake is suitable for vegetarians, and will keep in a cake tin for up to 3 months.
