Since opening its first cafe and bakery in Southwold in 2013, Two Magpies Bakery has become a regional hit with its baked goods.

Renowned for its freshly-baked sourdough, pastries and handmade treats, the bakery group has seen a decade of quick expansion and is celebrating 10 years of success.

From the original cafe in the seaside town of Southwold, Two Magpies has gone on to have a central bakery and bake school in Darsham, as well as bakery-cafes in Aldeburgh, Norwich, Woodbridge, Blakeney and Holt. 

The success of the bakery chain's first 'Mini Magpies' concept, which was first launched in Beccles, has enabled them to open its doors up to customers in Wells in May.

Steve Magnall, owner of Two Magpies Bakery said: “We are so proud to be celebrating ten years in business.

"Every day our amazing team of bakers, pastry chefs and baristas bring expertise and passion to what they do best – transforming quality ingredients into delicious products and putting customer service first.

"And because of our committed team, we have not only been able to survive some difficult years during the pandemic but have been able to look ahead and plan for the next stage of expansion."

With an increased demand for its click-and-collect celebration cake service, Two Magpies has expanded its services further this year to include a new catering menu.
