Bread Local — Restaurant in Western Australia

If one were to conjure up a little slice of heaven tucked away in Esperance, it would undoubtedly be Bread Local and Little Local, a place where the scent of slow-fermented sourdough beckons you in like an old friend with a warm embrace.

Let me begin, reverently, with their sourdough toasties, golden, crisp, utterly addictive. The crust crackles with a gentle ferocity, yielding to interiors so gloriously molten and comforting, they could bring a tear to the eye. They are, quite simply, the best I’ve ever tasted.

And then, the cinnamon rolls. Oh, the cinnamon rolls! Soft, sticky spirals of buttery dough, crowned with just the right kiss of spice and sweetness. One bite and you’ll find yourself closing your eyes, whispering thanks to the universe.

But if you truly wish to float, light as air, into patisserie paradise, the apple turnover is your golden chariot. Flaky, feathery layers enfold tender apple, barely held together by their own deliciousness. It dissolves on the tongue like a cloud warmed by the sun.

Let us not overlook the sausage roll, flaky, savoury, with a satisfying whisper of spice. Rustic, yet refined. Earthy, but elevated.

And a special, heartfelt shout-out to Lily, whose radiant smile and effortless charm complete the experience. She brings with her the sort of service that makes you feel like family, yet somehow more cherished.

If I were to make one wistful wish, it would be for the simple joy of soy milk among the coffee options. Just a modest plea from a soy-loving soul.

Bread Local and Little Local is more than a bakery, it’s a balm for the spirit, a celebration of craft, and a warm, flaky testament to all that is good in the...

On recommendation from a local while staying in Esperance for work, I visited Bread Local. This bakery is only open 1 day a week & that day is Friday. 9-5pm full menu 12-5pm. This is no ordinary bakery. Settled 4k outside the main steer of Esperance nestled under shedding gum trees to the side of a personal property. To say it gets busy is an understatement, when I arrived at 12:15 they had a guy & an aging black Lab directing you where to park on the ample property. Once you park & walk around behind the shed you find a stunning grassed area with bulb lighting run between gum trees, plenty of lawn to cop a squat, bench seating, sand pit, trampoline & of course the bakery. I was lucky I was 7th in line but when I was leaving the line was 15 deep. I spoilt myself buying many items so I could taste a little of all of them, admittedly though I did eat all of the custard scroll & Inso not regret it!! This from a person who does not have a sweet tooth. For such a small bakery it is an extensive menu ( see photos) the breads are to die for & they also do cook dinner dishes like chicken broccoli potatoes gratin that you can refrigerate at home to cook later. The chicken & sweet corn finger pie had actual big chunks of chicken, the pork & sage sausage roll was melt in your mouth mince, so fine & full of flavour unlike any other I have had. I am happy that Bread Local is not local to me as I could not do enough hours in the gym to work off what I would eat from there. Please do yourself a favour & make a Friday part of your stay in Esperance & treat yourself....

This place was recommended to me and my husband and luckily we were in Esperance on a Friday! Sad that they are only open on a Friday but it is what it is.

We got there and we saw a huge queue waiting for us. We just hoped that it would be worth it...and WOW it was. 100% worth it. It was the most delicious sausage roll and cinnamon bun I've ever eaten, I wish I bought more! The tim tam donut was SO good, the filling was SO light and creamy and the donut so soft. My husband ordered the 3 other things in the photo. The brownie, the wrap and the Nutella cruffen. I wasn't a huge fan of the brownie because it was SO light and fluffy that it almost tasted like cake, instead of a brownie, but my husband loved it. The wrap was good and I would say that the "worst" thing we ordered was the cruffen. "Worst" as in still amazing but rated last on the list of all the delicious things we had.

The ladies serving us were also amazing and SO kind, and the atmosphere in the shop was fantastic.

Overall, I HIGHLY recommend checking this place out if you're ever...
