Hamblin Bread - Review - Iffley - Oxford - The Infatuation

"If you see a queue of people just off Magdalen Road on a Saturday morning, it’s safe to presume they’re waiting for a sourdough loaf from Hamblin. This neighbourhood bakery favourite is absolutely rammed on weekends, so much so that regulars know to pre-order their seeded rye and country loaves before turning up. The staff greet people in line by their name and everyone behind you has their ears perked up while you’re ordering, with their fingers crossed in hopes you won’t take the last vanilla bun. Don’t, instead get the cinnamon bun, a pizza slice, and of course, some springy, crispy-crusted sourdough. There’s also pevensey blue cheese and various salamis and fresh vegetables, so you can pick up everything you’ll need for a wholesome picnic. photo credit: Rianne Shlebak photo credit: Rianne Shlebak photo credit: Rianne Shlebak Pause Unmute" - Rianne Shlebak
