Our Story

Baking as it was
meant to be

Iris Bakery was born from a simple conviction: that the best bread begins with the simplest ingredients and the most patience. In a neighborhood that values authenticity, we chose to honor both.

Every loaf, every pastry, and every cup of coffee that leaves our kitchen carries the same intention — to give our community something genuinely good, made the old way, without shortcuts.

The Craft

Patience is our
secret ingredient

Great baking can't be rushed. We let our doughs rest, our flavors deepen, and our techniques speak for themselves.

01

Sourdough & Lean Doughs

Our naturally leavened breads mature slowly — 24 to 48 hours — developing complex flavors and a crust that cracks like glass.

Laminated Pastries

Each croissant and pain au chocolat is folded by hand, layer after layer, creating the kind of shattering flakiness that demands your full attention.

Specialty Coffee

Single-origin beans, carefully roasted and brewed to complement the richness of our pastries — because the right cup completes the experience.
