About Bohemian Bakery Sumner

Bohemian Bakery is an artisan sourdough bakery and cafe at 43 Nayland Street in Sumner, Christchurch. It opened in June 2016 as a beachside bakery, and the business says it aims to be a village bakery where people can see the food being made. Its sourdough is made the traditional way, with starters fed twice a day and long cold fermentation. All bread, pies and rolls are made on the premises, and the croissants and morning pastries are made fresh every day. The menu includes vegan options and brunch. The bakery's team of more than 20 people includes a baker who has won golden medals at the Farmers Mill NZ Bread Bake Off.

The bakery is on the Sumner village street, a short walk from the beach. Its focus on slow, hand-made bread makes it a good fit for a relaxed morning in Sumner, where the bread and pastries are baked in view of the people who make them.
