They're one of the most popular bakeries in London, beloved as much for their idiosyncratic take on croissants to their innovative collab bakes. They even picked up London Bakery of the Year at the 2025 National Bakery Awards. So it stands to reason that queer-owned TOAD Bakery would be looking to expand.
All of this is good news for Deptford folks who are about to get a TOAD Bakery in their neck of the woods. For their second bakery, owners Rebecca Spaven and Oliver Costello have picked a former rectory on the high street at the entrance to Deptford Market Yards. It's a much bigger space than their OG bakery, but will also have an open-plan kitchen where you can see everything from their Everything Bagel croissants to saffron and vanilla teacakes being made.
The opening of the new bakery will give the team more room to develop new bakes, but it will also be able to create more opportunities for aspiring young bakers to learn the craft. "Having outgrown our tiny bakery in Camberwell," they say, "we are so excited to build on all that we’ve learnt there and open a second site in the heart of Deptford.
London's bakery scene is about to get a whole lot more interesting.
