Holey Artisan Bakery
The bakery that redefined what Dhaka could expect from bread. Their sourdough program is serious, the pastry section is exemplary, and the café space is one of the most pleasant in the city.
Holey Artisan Bakery carries the weight of having been reopened after tragedy with extraordinary grace. The quality of their bread program is the best argument for what serious baking looks like in this city.
The Bread
Their sourdough loaves require advance ordering on weekends — plan accordingly. The pain de campagne and the seeded rye are the standouts. Croissants are baked fresh twice daily and sell out by 10am on weekends.
The Café
The café space attached to the bakery is quiet in the mornings and fills by midday. A strong coffee program — they source from North End and Levant — keeps the quality high throughout the day.
The Verdict
An essential stop for anyone who cares about bread. One of the few places in Dhaka that is worth planning your morning around.
