23.01.2022 Christmas elf at work, thanks Lil! Puddings are in the shop now. This years puddings are made with soaked croissants instead of fruit bread crumbs. So the mix is extra rich.

23.01.2022 What a glorious day! We’re making it easier to have a browse of our Christmas wares, with Mat’s shop out the front of the bakery. Mat is usually tucked away in the kitchen but we’re making the most of his love of our products to explain all of our Christmas wares.

22.01.2022 North Fitzroy people you probably know beautiful Connie & Michael who were at red olive back in the day, and more lately at their food truck pizza pony offering. Its been a tough year for them having to change the way they ran Two super generous people who also make outstanding pizza. Last night their kitchen burnt down. If you can give them a hand in any way it.... buy a virtual pizza or slice it will make a difference, cheers https://gf.me/u/yns57d

20.01.2022 We received this beautiful grain with a wheat themed original first day cover as an envelope. 1948 we were celebrating William James Farrer (3 April 1845 16 April 1906) who was a leading Australian agronomist and plant breeder. Farrer is best remembered as the originator of the "Federation" strain of wheat, distributed in 1903. His work resulted in significant improvements in both the quality and crop yields of Australia's national wheat harvest, a contribution for which he earned the title 'father of the Australian wheat industry'. Thank you to Jason & Emma of @tuerongfarm for the beautiful gift. And we’re really looking forward to new season red wheat next week!

18.01.2022 Hello people, we are taking a break and its for renovations for Loafer but its also a mental health break for me. If youre a business owner especially in hospo, Id like to direct you to the excellent podcast @dirtylinenpodcast and @deepintheweedspodcast .Having worked in the industry as an art student casual and later as a professional, its been comforting and affirming to hear aspects of my experience touched on by interviewees. I would say there is something here for everyone in the industry and the last weeks focus on mental health in hospitality is a must listen. Thanks @danivalent @huckstergram for some quality listening over the last few months. Keep up the good work team.

18.01.2022 Just in case you are just heading out now a repost from @amrita_moves they are full today

18.01.2022 DROP OFF TODAY 5.pm-7.30pm today in BRUNSWICK for our friends and fellow Melbourne residents in hard lockdown in the housing estate towers. If youve been following along, the boxes supplied from the gov have been insufficient to say the least: Weetbix with no milk, pasta sauce with no pasta, pork sausages for halal families etc. Stay safe; if youre showing symptoms, dont show up. Via @amrita_moves @next_wave @brunswickmechanicsinstitute @patnourse @juliaostro. Share (and show up).

18.01.2022 Thanks neighbours! The occasional surprise treats that appear in the fridge from @blackheartswine

18.01.2022 Sprouted rye grains for the sprout and seed soaker. I was amazed at how much growth there was after 12 hours. Those lower down in the tub had even more rigorous growth! We’re putting that nutritious deliciousness into the bread everyday

And the cream on top of the @australian_demeter_biodynamic milk is making the dough for our croissants extra delicious today thanks for all the love and support from our 5 k locals

15.01.2022 Rhubarb shrub test 1. Making use if the woody stalk parts to see if I can make some tasty cider vinegar infused cordial.

15.01.2022 We will be selling some of @tomsarafian s fundraising hummus this weekend. Let us know if youre keen Posted @withregram @tomsarafian HUMMUS LE BEIRUT The Lebanese people have been left devastated by the explosion in Beirut last week. The death toll is still rising, many are still missing and hundreds of thousands of people are now homeless as a result. Beirut is an incredibly special city - it taught me to make the best hummus I could, the hummus that most Melbour...nians know and love. I owe a great deal of my career to Beiruts hospitality and generosity - and now I want to do what I can to help the people who helped me. And if you want to help, all you need to do is buy a tub of my hummus. Hummus Le Beirut contains a 300g tub of hummus with sumac pita crisps for $20. Available for pick up from Bar Saracen this week on Thursday, Friday and Saturday between 12-3pm on a walk-in basis. Free home delivery will be available on Sunday 16th August- details to follow. Hummus Le Beirut - hummus tubs only - will also be sold this weekend by the legends at @bakerbleu @allarewelcomebakery @falcobakery @wildlifebakery @parkstreetpastawine @meatsmith_melb @springstreetgrocer and more to come... All proceeds will go directly to @lebaneseredcross who are the main providers of ambulance services and emergency medical aid. Get in quick as these tubs will sell out fast! #hummus #prayforbeirut #yalla

13.01.2022 Well we’re nearly done. And right to the end it’s unpredictable... but we want to be sure we make enough bread and mincies for you so please get your orders in via the website or by email to [email protected] by 3pm Monday 21st. Thanks

12.01.2022 Getting toward Christmas... Please place your fruit mince tart orders asap... we also have puddings wrapped and ready, a few stollen, shortbread, gingerbread and speculaas packets. So very happy to be able to welcome you all back to outdoor seating too. See you soon.

12.01.2022 Yes, the Christmas shark cutter has come out of the drawer.

11.01.2022 Dear patient lovely loafer customers, youve been wonderful over the last few weeks. Thanks for bearing with our emails and preorders and website business - its going pretty smoothly now. Now for the next steps of easing back to more regular offerings. Were getting ready to start coffee again from the 1st of June. Yay! Weve been wondering how to serve coffee safely without having to resort to single use cups. So if you dont regularly bring your own cup sign up now for @gr...eencaffeen (its free) that way you can drop off your used cup and take away a clean one from us. Alternatively if you have your own very clean keep cup well make a coffee in a dine in cup and then pour it into your cup for you - no touching - not as pretty as tilting the cup etc but still tasty, and no questions about germs.. we will still be one person in the shop at a time so coffee patrons will need to line up outside distanced nicely after youve placed your order and we will run your drinks out to you.
