The Grumpy Baker was created in 2002 by Michael Cthurmer Owner-operator as a Café/Retail Bakery in Oxford Street, Darlinghurst. Finding a niche in the market for good, old fashioned bread, particularly artisan sourdough that was more “cheesy” and less of a “vinegar” starter, he set out to conquer the bread world.
At the beginning, all of the baking was carried out in small kitchen to the rear of the shop and as the smell of freshly baked bread wafted down Oxford Street, The Grumpy Baker soon attracted a regular clientele who enjoyed their rustic, handmade gourmet bread free of preservatives and additives.
The range of breads is now sold at our numerous retail outlets throughout Sydney and we are committed to providing our customers with high quality products that really have been lovingly hand-crafted.
And as for the name…….well you would be grumpy too if you had to get up at the crack of dawn every day!
