BAK Bakery
A shared appreciation for craftsmanship and quality forms the foundation of our collaboration with the bakery behind ARKET CAFÉ’s signature bread.
The Nordic baking tradition is one of the pillars of ARKET CAFÉ. From buns to cookies, sandwiches and wraps, our baked goods are made with high-quality, natural ingredients. Our bread supplier, BAK, is a Swedish concept bakery dedicated to quality and craftsmanship. In close collaboration with our team, they have developed a new signature bread for our cafés, which is used for sandwiches in all our European locations.
Celebrating a diverse set of traditions and baked daily on-site, this artisanal ciabatta-inspired bread provides a complex flavour and a rich nutrient profile derived from heritage crops. The ingredients and proportions are fine-tuned to create a dough that can tolerate freezing while achieving the ideal fluffy texture once baked.
