The Dusty Knuckle Bakery
Fans of Dusty Knuckle's goods can now celebrate as the bakery has opened a café across the yard from where it formerly resided in shipping containers in a Dalston parking lot. Beautiful sourdough and rye bread in three sizes are displayed in racks on the walls. If you arrive early enough, you can get doorstop sandwiches filled with creative ingredients like porchetta with garlic purée and sprouting broccoli or roasted aubergine with labneh, date dukkah, and herb salad. The counter is piled with a glistening, golden array of various buns, brioches, turnovers, savory bakes, and other pastries.
Along with a fantastic breakfast menu that includes unlimited toast and spreads for a pauper's price of £2.50, there are also soups, toasties, and homemade drinks available. However, an additional £2.50 will get you a bacon sarnie on potato sourdough that will likely fill you up for the rest of the day. But if you did, you wouldn't get the chance to return at noon, when the beautifully dilapidated interior is bathed in the sunlight coming in from the yard outside. That yard is still available for eating, and it is now accessible on weekends as well. The company also has a social enterprise component; it wants a portion of its employees to be made up of young people who have had difficulty finding employment elsewhere.
