Lantern & Crumb Café

Our story

It started with one oven and a lot of early mornings

Lantern & Crumb opened on Queen East as a tiny counter with a single oven and a handful of regulars.

We still bake everything here each morning, and we still learn every regular’s name.

What we value

How we work

Fresh daily

If it was not baked today, it is not on the counter.

Neighbours first

Local suppliers, local staff, local art on the walls.

Waste less

Day-old bread goes to a nearby community kitchen.

Hosting something?

We cater office breakfasts, birthdays and small events across the east end.
