The much-loved Dench Bakers of North Fitzroy are spreading their artisan soughdough and certified-organic-flour wings to open a new cafe, Bread and Jam for Frances (named after the classic children's book), at the Readings Hawthorn Cafe in late March.

Dench Bakers in Fitzroy North

They will be serving excellent coffee and organic juices and freshly baked croissants, pastries, bombolone, pies, cakes, tarts and biscuits, sandwiches and baguettes and their exceptionally good hot cross buns in time for Easter.

Dench Bakers have been baking artisan style bread since 2005, supplying the hospitality industry and public from our small shop located in North Fitzroy. During that time they have provided a number of successful and well-known cafes and restaurants with quality hand-made sourdough and specialty breads. Tony Dench, Judy Newman and John Dench, who each take on an active role in the business, own the bakery and café. For those of you who frequent our Carlton shop may also recognise Andrew Cornish, formerly Carlton store manager, who is now Operations Manager at Dench. We look forward to this wonderful new culinary addition to Readings Hawthorn.
