If you’re searching for a bakery that offers artisan treats while making a difference in the community, look no further than The Dusty Knuckle Bakery. Our editor-at-large, Philip, who lives in London, recommends it as a must-visit for any bakery enthusiast. With three outlets in Dalston, Harringay and Highbury Fields, The Dusty Knuckle not only serves delicious baked goods but also empowers at-risk youths, helping them take meaningful steps towards a brighter future.
By providing training and employment opportunities for at-risk youths, the bakery plays a crucial role in their development.

What to Try
Philip’s recommendation includes the bakery’s signature potato sourdough bread, which has gained quite the following among locals. Be prepared for a queue, as this delectable bread is worth the wait. And if you have a bit more time, make sure to grab one of their fantastic sandwiches as well. However, a friendly piece of advice: once they sell out, they’re gone for the day, so it’s best to arrive early!
