Nestled at the end of an alley, this bustling bakery-cafe serves up creative sandwiches and pastries, with a lively atmosphere and delightful fresh bread.
"London “In a year full of fast walking, slow pacing, and gentle rolling from the TV to the fridge, The Dusty Knuckle stood out for its steady supply of bread and more around London. The Dusty Knuckle makes the best bread in London. They have killer morning buns and some high-grade sandwiches, too. When lockdown hit, they did what any sensible bakery and café would do. They bought a milk float, stocked it with freshly baked bread, pastries, sandwiches, flowers, and booze, and drove it around north east London, hitting two postcodes a day. In fact, they’re still doing it. It’s all smiles and sourdough, at a contented snail’s pace.” -Jake Missing, London Staff Writer" - team infatuation
"The Dusty Knuckle is one of London’s best bakeries. Their loaves, pastries, and sandwiches are available for collection and local delivery from April 14th, and one day a week each they’re also offering delivery south of the river and in west London." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak
"If they’d let us, we’d probably never leave this excellent bakery. The potato sourdough, squishy oily focaccia, and everything else coming out of The Dusty Knuckle is pretty much perfect. This social enterprise bakery is a great place for a pastry first thing (the morning bun), enormous sandwiches (any) at lunchtime, or sourdough pizza on the weekends.

"For: A morning bun and a sandwich Unsliced rather than sliced bread is the greatest thing ever, as evidenced by the potato sourdough, springy oily focaccia, and everything else coming out of The Dusty Knuckle. This social enterprise bakery in Dalston is a great place for a pastry (the morning bun) first thing, sandwich (any) at lunchtime, or sourdough pizza on the weekends. Things change daily, but pay attention to the doorstop focaccia sandwiches. They’re some of the best in London." - rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, daisy meager
"Dalston bakery the Dusty Knuckle will begin delivering their excellent sourdough, pastries, and sandwiches to east London locals. Find the link on their website or Instagram." - oliver feldman, heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak
