380 Pleasant St, Dartmouth, NS B2Y 3S5 WebsitePhoneBirdies Bread Co. is a haven for artisanal bread enthusiasts, offering handcrafted naturally-leavened breads made with locally-milled grains. Each sourdough loaf is a testament to tradition, with a stone mill on-site milling 100% whole-grain flours that preserve the bran, germ, and endosperm for maximum flavor. The bakery’s passion shines through in its inventive sandwich menu, featuring unique twists like the Chicken Salad with raisins and pumpkin seeds, and the vibrant Veggie Sandwich with roasted chickpeas and pesto-whipped feta. It’s a place where ancient baking techniques meet modern creativity, led by founder Jessica Best, who brings her culinary expertise and love for sourdough to every creation. Birdies also champions local Atlantic Canadian products, making it a community-driven destination for bread lovers and food enthusiasts alike.
