Our Story

1224 bakery lab Canberra logo

Inspired by John 12:24.

1224 Bakery, a kernel of wheat, a testament to a dream rooted in John 12:24. This verse, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit," is the cornerstone of our philosophy.

The inception of 1224 Bakery was not just about creating bread; it was about sowing seeds of community, quality, and care.

Our founder, inspired by the transformative journey of a single grain of wheat, envisioned a bakery that would embody this metamorphosis, providing sustenance and bringing people together.Every loaf of bread and every pastry that comes out of our ovens is a narrative of passion and precision.

We pride ourselves on using house-milled flour and local ingredients, ensuring that with each bite, you’re not only tasting the freshness but also feeling the heart of our community. Our traditional long fermentation techniques are a nod to the past, marrying the time-honored methods with the pulse of the city's vibrant life.

Our journey, like our bread, has risen from humble beginnings. The initial demand for our baked goods was a sign that our small space in the city center was just the starting point of something extraordinary. When the time came to expand, it was our community and customers who fueled our growth, guiding us to our new home right here in the city's heart. 1224 Bakery is more than a name; it’s a reflection of our mission to provide the best, from our grains to your table. We’ve evolved, but our essence remains unchanged: crafting exceptional sourdough and pastries while nurturing the community that walks through our doors each day.Today, as we knead and shape each loaf, we’re reminded of the journey of growth and renewal, just like the wheat kernel that falls and rises anew.

Our bakery is a place where each crumb tells a story of care, quality, and a relentless pursuit of excellence.
As we look to the future, we remain committed to our core values, baking not just bread, but memories, forging connections, and continuing to ask the big questions about sustainability, quality, and community in the food industry.

Step into 1224 Bakery, where every slice is a piece of our story, and every customer is part of our ever-growing family. Here, in the heart of the city, we're not just baking bread; we're planting seeds for a better tomorrow.
