OUR STORY
During the height of the 2020 lockdowns, we didn’t just jump onto the sourdough trend – we pursued our passion for artisanal bread.
In true Lagom Bakery fashion, it started simply, launching from a hole-in-the-wall operation in Mollymook at Tallwood (now Gwylo). We first distributed slow-fermented sourdough to select local shops with customer pick-ups on particular days. The dough – with a fluffy crumb + crisp crust, a vehicle for breakfast, lunch + dinner deliciousness – became the stuff of local legends.
We hard-launched in December 2020, opening the roller doors of our community-minded coastal bakery in Burrill Lake.
MEET BRINLEY
Head Baker Brinley is our loaf of knowledge when it comes to all things grainy + fermented.
Locally raised, his first job was as a baker’s assistant, going on to roles at St Isidore, Milkhaus and Tallwood. An interest in cheese-making opened his mind to artisanal methods of food production, which eventually led him to sourdough – appreciating the nutritious staple of life.
You’ll catch him in the kitchen, trialling + testing, working methodically and always seeking the best for our community.
MEET JON
Jon is our larger-than-life Head of Sales.
Originally completing his chef apprenticeship in Newcastle, NSW, he has over 18 years of experience within the hospitality industry. It’s taken him around the country: Thredbo, Hayman Island + Emirates Resort Wolgan Valley, before eventually moving to Ulladulla at Tallwood.
With three kids + a passion for the local football club, he’s the zest + crunch of our operations.
OUR MISSION
Nourishment is at the core of our Burrill Lake bakery. We are committed to offering the best quality sourdough, viennoiseries + snacks, prioritising locally sourced + sustainable ingredients wherever possible. We like to say it's good for your guts (and the planet).
We're led by the meaning of lagom. A Swedish word loosely translated to 'just the right amount', our ethos is keeping it simple, slow + balanced. Stop by for the award-winners and family favourites; stay for the good company and stunning lakeside view.
