One of London's most acclaimed bakeries is expanding with a second location this summer. TOAD Bakery has announced plans to open a larger site at the entrance of Deptford Market Yard in June, joining a growing collection of independent restaurants, bars, and shops in the area.
From Camberwell to Deptford
The move comes as no surprise to regulars at the original Camberwell bakery, which is famous for drawing long queues. Founded in 2022, TOAD specializes in bread, pastries, and a rotating menu of sandwiches. It won London's Bakery of the Year at the National Bakery Awards 2025 and has built a strong online following. Even Mayor of London Sadiq Khan has praised it as his favorite bakery in the capital.
What to Expect at the New Branch
Owners Rebecca Spaven and Oliver Costello promise the new branch will feature customer favorites like the Everything Bagel Croissant and Yuzu Orange Jaffa Cake, along with espresso-based coffees. They stated: "Having outgrown our tiny bakery in Camberwell, we are so excited to build on all that we’ve learnt there and open a second site in the heart of Deptford. Moving most of our production to this new site will give the whole team more space to create, develop and bake for a new crowd."
TOAD's Camberwell neighbor Mondo Sando recently opened a takeaway spot, Mondo to Go, in Deptford as well.
