Our Story

Chefs Who Fell in Love with Bread

What happens when two chefs discover the slow magic of naturally fermented sourdough? You get BROOD — a small bakery on a quiet street in Onrus where every loaf is shaped by hand and baked with the kind of attention only chefs bring to a kitchen.

Johan and Susan didn't just learn to bake bread — they built a world around it. From legendary cinnamon rolls to handmade crispbreads, from hearty pies to the perfect cup of coffee, BROOD is where culinary craft meets a deep love for community.

"Best bread in town — and honestly some of the best bread I've had anywhere." — Christiaan C., Google Review

What We Bake

Handcrafted, Never Mass‑Produced

Every morning starts before dawn. By the time we open, the shelves are full — but they don't stay that way for long.
