Kneading Change with Company Bakery
• – • Summerhall
Local partners
Company Bakery is an Edinburgh favourite, known for its award-winning sourdough that’s earned top honours at the Scottish Bread Championships. Everything is made using wild fermentation, local grains and a deep love for the craft.
You’ll find crisp, crusty loaves, pillowy vegan cinnamon buns, gooey brownies and flaky pastries. Their café is bright and Scandi-inspired - a cosy, welcoming space built around community.
They already supply some of the city’s best cafés, restaurants and shops, and deliver fresh bread straight to doorsteps. Now, they’re bringing the good stuff to early risers too.
Machina are a speciality coffee roaster and café based in Edinburgh, with their roastery just behind Arthur’s Seat. They roast fresh, seasonal coffee for independent cafés and venues across the UK - and now, for us too.
Thanks to Machina, you’ll be starting your mornings with locally roasted goodness at our events. Their coffee is ethically sourced, expertly roasted, and full of flavour, made by a team who genuinely love what they do.
We’re pleased to partner with Broughton Street Flowers, a wedding and event florist and plant-lovers’ haven in Edinburgh’s New Town. Their iconic yellow store is warm and vibrant.
They bring seasonal, natural, beautiful blooms, sourcing many flowers locally from Edinburgh and Perthshire when in season. Their shop at 87 Broughton Street is full of fresh bouquets, unusual plants, stylish vases, and floral touches.
Summerhall Arts is a charitable organisation, here to offer opportunity, champion bold ideas and foster a vibrant, inclusive community of artists from across the sector, at a time where it is vital.
They’re proud to support CreativeMornings Edinburgh and our community, and offer discounted booking spaces for our audience in the iconic Summerhall building if you mention CM/EDI when booking!
Additional details
Founded in Edinburgh in 2017 by four friends from the food and drink industry, Company Bakery has always been built on one core principle: quality. From their products to their relationships to the way they run their day-to-day operations, that ethos has shaped every step of their journey.
What began as a team of four has grown into a 24/7 bakery operation with more than 70 team members. They’ve navigated a global pandemic, expanded into new markets, and continued to innovate while serving customers across Edinburgh, Glasgow, and beyond.
In Kneading Change, Marta will explore the story behind Company Bakery; the challenges they’ve worked through, the decisions that shaped their growth, and the adaptability that helped them rise. It’s a look at how a willingness to evolve, and a knead to change, has brought them to where they are today and where they’re heading next.
