About us

At The Daily Knead, we are dedicated to creating fresh bread, buttery pastries, and expertly brewed coffee.

Born from a passion for exceptional food and the quest for the perfect almond croissant, The Daily Knead brings artisanal baking to the heart of Totnes. Instead of driving hours to find quality baked goods, we decided to create a local destination where the community can enjoy freshly baked treats made with care and expertise.
At The Daily Knead, we believe that exceptional baking is an art form. Each day, our skilled bakers craft small batches of artisanal breads, pastries, and treats using traditional methods and the finest local ingredients. Our menu celebrates both timeless classics and creative seasonal specialties, ensuring there’s always something new to discover.

What we do best

Bread That Rises

Our daily bread is rooted in tradition and crafted with Wild Farmed regenerative flour. Expect naturally leavened sourdough loaves, golden focaccia, farmhouse breads, seeded baguettes and so much more. Every day brings new ideas, seasonal ingredients, and fresh creativity straight from our ovens.

Pastries Worth Waking Up For

Our pastry counter is filled with buttery, hand-laminated favourites: Classic butter croissants, almond croissants, pistachio cruffins, seasonal filled danishes, pain au chocolat and many more tasty bakes. We’re always exploring new flavours, textures, and inspirations to keep things fresh and exciting.

Coffee, Chocolate & Chai Dreams

Expect exceptional local micro-roasted coffee, artisan hot chocolate, spiced chai, organic oat milk, and premium teas — all carefully chosen to complement everything we bake and brewed with care by our expert baristas. Fresh, seasonal, and made to be savoured.
