Great value
Standing Friday order for the shop. Bread is consistently excellent. Only reason it is not five stars is that the pastry sells out by nine and I would happily take twice as much.

About The Proof Room
The Proof Room is a bakery with one starter, fed since 2019, and a stubborn refusal to rush it. Loaves get a long cold ferment - 36 hours, sometimes 48 - which is why the crust cracks the way it does and why the crumb tastes of something other than yeast.
Alongside the bread: laminated pastry on weekends, a rotating tart that follows whatever fruit is good, and celebration cakes made to order. The cakes are the quiet speciality - three layers, not too sweet, finished in a way that photographs but is mainly built to be eaten.
Wholesale goes out to a handful of Charlotte coffee shops on standing weekly orders. Event and wedding work is booked directly, usually six to eight weeks ahead.

Beautiful presentationWould rebook
We ordered the three-layer olive oil cake for my mother's seventieth. It looked like a magazine and, more to the point, it was gone. Not too sweet, which was exactly the brief.
