About us

Two bakers, one oven, and very early mornings

Mia and Jonas started baking from a shared kitchen in 2017 and opened Proof & Pour on Walcot Street two years later.

Everything is baked here before sunrise. When it is gone, it is gone, so the buns rarely make it past lunchtime.

From a regular

“The best cardamom bun outside Stockholm, and I have checked. Get there before ten or you will be looking at an empty tray.”
