Three Loaves Bakehouse - New Ownership!!

Well its belated by 8 weeks but we are very excited to announce to the community of Townsville that Three Loaves Bakehouse is under NEW OWNERSHIP!

With so many questions and interest in the the new ownership we thought we would share with our customers our story as the new owners. 

Andrew- Owner & Baker who you may have seen on the news recently (up to his armpits in hot cross buns) has been the Baker at Three Loaves since it first opened its doors in 2010. During this time he played a large role in developing it into the well known Artisan Bakehouse that it is. 

Andrew has created and adapted age old recipes of many of the breads you love to this day. He has mastered the art of traditional and authentic Sourdough processes, including 'feeding' the dough each day (more information to come- you just won't believe how much is involved in your beloved Sourdough!)

So when the opportunity came up for Andrew to purchase the business he had put his heart and soul into for two and a half years of course he could not pass! And now Andrew together with his wife (yours truly) and a whole lot of support and love from family & friends he now calls it his own.

Our Team; 
You can't have great bread without a great Baking team!

Andrew is joined on the Baking team by a wealth of experience in Co- Baker Trevor. Trevor has had more years in his trade than most people in their career and through the years has developed a whole lot of knowledge and skill in Baking. Trevor and Andrew combined make Three Loaves Bread a standout. If only you could see them at work in the wee hours of Sunday Morning. 

Apprentice Beau joined the team and since doing so is developing more than just a skill in baking sliced bread! He is learning more about the traditional processes used at Three Loaves than most other bakers know of. He is also getting to explore talent in our Specialty breads, pastries and delectable sweets!

The warm, welcoming smiles you receive when walking into our little shop is from our fantastic point of sales team. The girls manage to keep up with serving, re stocking, organising, tidying, slicing, and not to mention cleaning (if only you knew how many times the shop is swept out to keep it looking nice)! The girls keep themselves well educated about our breads and if they don't know the answer on the spot Andrew is usually near by to jump in. 

Now to clarify;

  • Where are we? The one and only Three Loaves Bakehouse Store is located within The Precinct, Fairfield Waters. Our opening hours have extended so your favourite goodies are more accessible to you! We are open Monday- Friday 6.30-5.30, Saturday 6.30-4, Sunday 6.30-2.30.
  • Markets- We will still be doing the North Shore Farmers Market every Saturday- we may have moved position somewhat but we are still there. We will also do the Cotters Market every Sunday and are still positioned in Flinders Square. 
  • The Bread- As mentioned, Andrew has been the baker since doors opened, he continues to do the Bake together with the Baking Team and therefore you will not be deprived of the breads you know and love. We have however started to explore some exciting new breads and we plan on keeping you updated on these as well as when you will be able to get them. 
  • Pies/Sausage Rolls- We have developed our very own range of Pies which you will love! Our crispy, buttery pastry combined with great quality meat means you are treating yourself to a delicious pie. Our most popular flavour by far is the Beef Burgundy- a chunky steak with red wine sauce this one will be so good in Winter Months!! Other flavours include; Plain, Mince & Mushroom, Mince & Bacon, Mince, Bacon & Cheese, Mince & Onion and Curry.
  • Prices- You will notice a decrease in some of the prices in store, our Owner/Baker has reviewed some of the costings of your favourite breads & pastries! 
  • North Ward Store- The North Ward Store has now re branded to Sweet Bridge Larder, a separate business not owned by Three Loaves. 
  • Magnetic Island- Arcadia Store: Julie and Clayton from Arcadia Store, Magnetic Island are open Monday- Saturday and order daily from Three Loaves Bakehouse. Go in store from 7.30- 5.30 or phone 47785387 to put in your orders. You can even order our croissants to have on the beach!
