Daily Bread Britomart is a bakery and deli in the Hayman Kronfeld Building at 13 Galway Street, in Auckland's Britomart precinct. It is one of the Daily Bread shops in Auckland, and the bread here is the reason to come. The sourdough is made from a starter that is said to be 600 years old, and each loaf is fermented for over 72 hours, which the bakery says makes the bread easier on the stomach. The 72-Hour Sourdough is the house specialty.
Two other sourdoughs are popular here. The rēwena sourdough is a loaf made in the rēwena style, and the kibbled rye is a sourdough with cracked rye through it. Among the pastries, the pain au chocolat is a buttery, rustic classic. The doughnut of the day is a filled bomboloni-style doughnut, and the filling changes daily. The deli side of the counter sells handmade items that are baked each day.
The coffee is Supreme, and the oat latte is made with Supreme coffee and oat milk. The Britomart shop has its own à la carte menu board, and the kitchen is open until 2pm.
The bakery opens at 7am and closes at 4pm every day of the week. Its position in Britomart, close to the Ferry Building and the waterfront, makes it an easy stop for a loaf to take home.

In the heart of Auckland's Britomart precinct, at 13 Galway Street, Daily Bread runs a bakery and deli built around traditional sourdough. The bread is hand made using a 600-year-old starter, with high-hydration dough and a long, 72-hour fermentation — a process the bakery says makes for an honestly delicious loaf that's easier on the stomach.
Daily Bread's sourdough range includes loaves like the Kibbled Rye, Caraway Loaf and a Rēwena Sourdough, alongside a Sprouted Quinoa gluten-free option, a Ciabatta and a classic White Loaf. Alongside the bread sits a range of buttery, rustic pastries and deli items, all handmade and baked daily — from a Mixed Pastry Box to a Pain au Chocolat and a Doughnut of the Day, made fresh each morning.
Coffee at Daily Bread is Supreme, served in forms like the Oat Latte, alongside other drinks such as ĀREPA, a functional beverage, and Almighty Sparkling Water.
The Britomart location runs its own à la carte menu board, with the kitchen open until 2pm each day, even though the store itself trades later.
