WELCOME TO PLANTISSERIE
* New Bakewell Bun
Cherry + Almond springtime delight. Cherry butter through the layers, almond cream in the core, and dipped in cherry white chocolate, sprinkled with flaked almonds to finish. Classic.
* New Peppermint Chocolate
Dark Chocolate through the layers, peppermint cream piped into the core and dipped in Saint Domingue single origin Dark Chocolate. Super-indulgent, without being heavy. So good.
* New Lemon Curd & Raspberry
Sharp raspberry through the layers, and filled with a zingy lemon curd cream. Perfectly sweet, with tons of natural springtime flavour. Delicious.
Blueberry + Lemon Cream
Makes a welcome comeback after a Winter break, and returns with a smidge more lemon and a lighter, smoother cream. Not sure how we could improve on this now . . .
Pistachio + Salted Caramel
PIstachio sweet butter between Brioche Feuilleté bun layers, with our smoky muscovado salted caramel piped into the middle. Stop drooling.
Cinnamon
No-one likes a show off . . . but these are, ahem, amazing. Our unique laminated bun dough, layered with cinnamon butter + heavy on the spice. Best seller most weeks - for good reason.
Dark Chocolate Orange
Sits between our Pain au Chocolat and our Peppermint Chocolate on the chocolate indulgence scale. Very moist (even a couple of days later), lovely orange zing.
Almond Croissant
Dark-baked croissant with our signature almond cream piped into the middle. Subtle marzipan vibes and tons of creamy deliciousness.
Plant-Based Pain au Chocolat

Whilst there's no such thing as courier-proof packaging...
... we think we're pretty darn close.
Every bun's packed in a reinforced box with a thick gauge spine, then wrapped in our unique wax paper "sling", and the whole lot is clamped together for minimal shiggle room.
And when that's done, there's no way we'd give it to any courier to play Warehouse Rugby with. Every order is handled by DPD so 99% of deliveries arrive in perfect time & perfect condition.
Check out our Trust Pilot reviews to see what our customers think. There's almost as many mentions of packaging as the deliciousness of the buns.
Cracking the freshness challenge
There's no point developing amazing buns and courier-proof packaging if they're past their best by the time you get them.
So we put all 10 years of our sourdough bread experience into perfecting buns with rye sourdough (our buns) or white sourdough (our croissants) to give incredible natural shelf life.
We also bake every order on-demand, just in time to be packed for collection by DPD so they arrive as delicious as possible.
Don't take our word for it - check out our Trust Pilot reviews to see what real customers think.
Our second love is Coffee
There's no better combo than Buns and Coffee so we now offer 3 varieties of ground coffee which you can add to any bun box.
We worked with local roaster Symposium Coffee to develop little "taster" packs of 100g, so you can give us a try (without that sinking feeling of a huge pack of coffee you have to use up. . . ).
And if you're ever in Norwich, we'd love to see you at Random Bun Club, where once a month we open the doors and create a little pop-up coffee & bun shop inside our bakery.
Random Acts of Kindness
Like a lot of people, our plans were turned to toast by lockdown. We were unemployed bakers with lots of time on our hands.
But every cloud has a silver lining . . . we finally had the time to perfect a vegan buns recipe we'd been trying to master for ever.
This meant baking a load more buns that we could ever eat, so we started giving them away to people we bumped into; baristas, hairdressers, electricians, everyone basically.
Everyone loves free food, but this felt different. People were so thankful to be given a bag of not-quite-perfect buns they seemed determined to return the favour in some way. Maybe they really appreciated the thought. Maybe the buns were really good. Maybe both.
We decided to put our faith in "kinder buns" and converted a disused shop in an unloved part of Norwich into a vegan pastry kitchen. And from a few orders from a handful of nice people, things just grew from there.
