About the Baker

Welcome to Breadhead Bakery!

I’m Lucy(she/her). I’ve been a baker and pastry chef for over 13 years, working in some of Canada’s top restaurants and bakeries. I started baking because I like eating sugar and gluten. I wanted to show my friends and family I love them by creating something sweet for them (hello acts of service girlie over here), so when the pandemic hit, I figured now was my chance to really go for it. That's when Breadhead was born. Five years in, we've expanded thrice, and have created a home base in the Artisan Factory on Geary Ave. in Toronto. We have a large commissary kitchen that produces fresh baked sourdough pastries daily, delivered to 10 partners in Toronto's west end and the downtown core. We cater corporate events, weddings and any kind of party you could imagine. We source as much local and seasonal product as we can, prioritize employing women and the lgbtq+ community, and promote 4 day work weeks all while getting up way before the rest of the world so everyone else can start their day with a coffee and pastry. I love to connect and support my community, and find that clients of mine are the places I frequent regularly. I live in the beautiful neighbourhood of Roncesvalles, with my res dog Ruby and you can catch me in High Park on my weekends or strolling down Roncy, hitting up Reunion Coffee for a flat white and Cherry Bomb for a cheese croissant.
