Archipelago Artisan Bakery

Archipelago Artisan Bakery Archipelago Artisan Bakery is an artisan bakery and cafe. We make fresh organic bread, cakes, salads, soups every day. Open Monday to Saturday 9am-5pm.

Caroline Walsh has worked in the food industry professionally for 10 years and has cooked all her life. She has excellent knowledge of baking and artisan bread-making and has undertaken numerous bakery courses including one with local artisan baker Andrew Whitley of Bread Matters. Most recently, she has worked as head chef at the Fruitmarket Café. Prior to this she helped to set up Loudons Bakery in Edinburgh in January 2011 and was Head Baker there for just under two years. She has also worked in Paris for the well-known Rose Bakery. She has also spent time cooking in Greece, Sweden and Norway. Much of her bread and cakes are inspired by her work and travels abroad. Caroline believes that what you put into baking is reflected in the end product and she works hard to create recipes and flavours which are just a little bit different. Caroline also has a keen interest in the ingredients she uses. At Archipelago she aims to use local produce where possible such as carrots, parsnips and beetroots in her cakes, or produce picked from the garden or from one of her many foraging trips! Blackberries are picked locally for the jam and elderflowers in June to make cordial for the cakes!

Introducing our new flapjack on the counter today!
Forget your dry, crumbly oats and memories of flapjack that are so dry you need to drink a glass of water after each mouthful and say hello to our brand new Vegan Chunky Moist flapjack! Loaded with organic oats, blitzed nuts for crunch, cranberries for a bit of a tang, a layer of homemade naturally sweet date jam through the middle for extra moistness and then a thin layer of 72% dark chocolate on top and a sprinkle of coconut!
It's chunkier, it's dense, it's very substantial and it's packed with gooey goodness! No dairy, no compromise.
Whether you need a fuel-up for your hike in the hills or just a cosy slice to have with your coffee then this is the treat you've been waiting for!

Talented new chef, Dimitris, has completely transformed the salad menu bringing bold flavours with a Mediterranean/Greek influence using local, fresh ingredients. He's spent the last few weeks updating and improving our lunchtime soups and salads as well as introducing lunch time options such as stuffed peppers or stuffed tomatoes, Veggie moussaka, baked halloumi with lemon and thyme, Briam. We will also have platters of warm salads which can also be heated up as a lunch special and served with our freshly baked bread.
