Kemp Town is buzzing with excitement as Open Bakery, a beloved family-owned establishment, has been crowned the best bakery in the South East at the prestigious National Bakery Awards. Nestled in the heart of St George’s Road and West Drive in Queen’s Park, this local gem has captured the hearts and taste buds of many with its delectable range of fresh breads, pastries, and patisserie delights.
The bakery, which opened its doors in 2011 after branching off from Real Patisserie, has become a staple in the community, known not just for its mouth-watering creations but also for its commitment to sustainability. By sourcing ingredients locally and supporting Brighton and Sussex’s local growers and producers, Open Bakery ensures that every bite is not only delicious but also environmentally conscious.
Expressing their gratitude, the bakery took to social media to thank their loyal customers, who they credit for making the early mornings worthwhile. “A big thank you to all our wonderful customers,” they shared, adding that they are “over the moon” with the recognition and are setting their sights on the national award in 2025.
Earlier this year, Open Bakery was also named the best in East Sussex, further solidifying its reputation as a top contender in the baking world. With its rich history of creating unique items and hosting engaging baking workshops, Open Bakery continues to be a cherished part of Kemp Town’s vibrant community.
So, whether you’re a local or just passing through, a visit to Open Bakery promises a delightful experience filled with the aroma of freshly baked goods and the warm spirit of a community favourite.
