Explore Our CreationsOur Story: Rooted in Tradition
Epoch Eats was born from a simple belief: that baking is an art form meant to be shared. From our cozy patisserie nestled in the historic town of Stratford-upon-Avon, we lovingly combine timeless European techniques with the finest seasonal, locally-sourced ingredients. Every creation, from a delicate morning pastry that melts in your mouth to an elaborate, multi-tiered wedding cake designed to be the centerpiece of your special day, is a testament to our unwavering dedication to flavour, uncompromising quality, and exemplary craftsmanship. We believe in baking with integrity, ensuring each bite tells a story of care and passion.
We are deeply committed to sustainability and supporting our vibrant local community. We proudly partner with Warwickshire farms for our fresh dairy and seasonal produce, and exclusively use free-range eggs sourced from responsible local suppliers. Our thoughtful packaging is, wherever possible, 100% recyclable or compostable, taking a small but significant step towards caring for the beautiful environment and community we are so fortunate to be a part of. This dedication extends through every aspect of our business, from ingredient sourcing to your final deliciious experience.
