Wild Goose Bakery

Wild Goose Bakery holds a unique distinction: it is the only artisan South African bakery in the United Kingdom, bringing the rich baking traditions of South Africa to Leytonstone High Road in a setting that the Leytonstone Guide describes as a place to "enjoy locally baked bread and cakes, organic tea and coffee with vegan and gluten free options." The bakery has become an important part of the Leytonstone independent food community, celebrated by the Leytonstoner newsletter as one of the positive developments on the High Road and by local estate agents who consistently mention it as a neighbourhood highlight.

The menu reflects South African baking traditions alongside the organic, artisan values of the best independent bakeries: freshly baked sourdough and rye loaves, South African specialities such as rusks (the traditional South African twice-baked biscuit for dunking in coffee) and melktert (milk tart), alongside cakes, pastries, organic tea and specialty coffee. Vegan and gluten-free options throughout. A genuinely unique baking destination in East London.
