If you can’t help yourself when it comes to baked goods, it’s fairly likely you’re already well familiar with The Bread Social. After eight years baking from The Farm Byron Bay, mates Tom Scott, Sammy Saulwick and Paul Giddings have embarked upon their most ambitious project to date – an enormous 1259-sqm space in Currumbin Waters that has become the new headquarters and primary production facility with onsite cafe. With a scattering of seats inside and out, the space features a chic industrial vibe complete with wooden barn doors and a matte-black exterior. The display cabinet is jammed with a selection of The Bread Social faves including custard tarts, fruit-topped danishes, almond croissants, pies, sandwiches and, of course, its famous sourdough. There will also be weekend specials popping up from time to time. The space has been intentionally kept open so you can watch the team working away, whether it’s finishing brulee tarts, searing the meat that will fill the pies or restocking the cabinet goods. At the other end, you’ll find the coffee counter churning out Single O’s specialty coffee with espressos and batch brews to cure your caffeine craving. Oh, there’s parking out the front too!
