Bread Addiction Southsea
Bread Addiction Southsea

One of the best bakeries in Hampshire, Bread Addiction is a Southsea-based artisan bakery and patisserie that has captured the hearts of locals and visitors alike. At Bread Addiction, they stay true to the traditional art of breadmaking, believing that great bread begins with simple, honest ingredients. Using only organic flour, pure water, sea salt, natural levain, and a skilled pair of hands, they craft loaves that are as wholesome as they are delicious. Their sourdough bread, in particular, has earned a glowing reputation as one of the finest on the South Coast, loved for its crisp crust and delightfully chewy texture.
Their aim is to bring about a true renaissance of artisan baking in the city and its local community. Beyond bread, they are equally passionate about their pastries and viennoiseries, which showcase the same dedication and skill. Every croissant, tart, and brioche is made with care, reflecting both craftsmanship and creativity. They proudly source local and seasonal ingredients, ensuring that every product tells a story of place and time, celebrating Hampshire’s produce while embracing the natural rhythm of the seasons. Whether you’re after a crusty loaf, a flaky pastry, or a taste of something new, Bread Addiction offers an experience that feels both comforting and inspiring.

They offer a variety of cakes and tarts for any occasion to serve up to 10 people. For larger quantities, catering enquiries or any further information, please contact them. 48 hours’ minimum notice must be given for orders.
Coffee
They care about coffee just as much as their bread, which is why their baristas only use beans from multi-award-winning East London-based roasters Square Mile. Different blends from across the globe are available, alternating every three months.
Their coffee is available to drink and can be enjoyed with your freshly baked morning croissant or made to take away.
