Here at ShelfLife, we’re always glad to hear about success stories for local retailers, and so were pleased to learn that the team behind the award-winning artisanal Seagull Bakery has opened a brand new sourdough bakery at Patrick Street in Waterford city. This is the first foray from its native Tramore for Seagull following the opening of its hugely popular bakery almost five years ago.
Founder, chief baker and creator Sarah Richards said she is “absolutely delighted” to be taking the bakery to the city. “We are passionate about serving the local community with wholesome and nutritious bread,” Richards said, “and we are also thrilled to support and build upon the growing independent retail community in Waterford City creating additional local employment and further supporting complementary local and Irish food producers.”
The new Seagull Bakery will actually be the first in the country to serve only filter coffee. “We have long wanted to bring the intricate flavours of filter coffee to Seagull,” Richards added, “and very pleased to serve two varieties of filter coffee, an unusually fruity Costa Rican for the black coffee drinker and a Colombian for those who like a coffee with milk.”
The bakery will also feature a brand new selection of 30 different bio-dynamic and organic natural wines. A new selection of ‘My Goodness’ vegan and fermented foods, a range of hand-made artisan Corleggy Cheeses, a range of charcuterie from the sustainable The Wooded Pig farm and a selection of antipasti from The Real Olive Company will also be available at the new location.
Of course, the bakery will be serving up what Seagull is famous for; its full selection of sourdough bread from its delicious white loaves to seaweed sourdough to 3 seed, rye porridge loaves, baguettes, focaccias and its heritage loaf plus the complete selection of Seagull sweet treats and baked goods will also be on offer. These include the famous twice-baked Almond Crossaints and the Seagull Cinnamon Buns; plus Chocolate and Hazelnut Croissants, local and seasonal fruit Danish pastries, Apple oaties, Cruffins, plain Crossaints and the Einkorn ancient grain Lemon and Poppyseed treats, Rye Brownies, Wholemeal Spelt Carmel Squares with Dilisk and Einkorn Carrot Cake.
There will also be some tasty new Seagull creations available including the popular lightly effervescent Lemon Verbena and Rose and Hibiscus flavoured Kombucha along with some delicious new hand-made fresh pasta created with Irish stoneground heritage grains.
The store has already had a strong opening day. “From early morning we greeted a steady flow of customers throughout the day,” Richards said, “and we would like to thank everyone for their support, be that in person or online, the welcome we have received is incredible. It has been quite a feat to get the new bakery ready for opening but we genuinely couldn’t have achieved this without the brilliant and talented team of locally based professionals, from branding to signage and more.
“It has also been a joy to welcome three new members to the Seagull team,” she added, “Dean McManus from the Dunmore Raod, Anna Jacques from Hillview and Anna McSweeney from Tramore. We are looking forward to many more days like today at Patrick Street.”
The new Seagull Bakery at 46 Patrick Street in Waterford City will be open from 8 am to 4 pm Wednesday to Saturday and from 9 am to 1 pm on Sundays. For further details see Seagull Bakery on Facebook or Instagram.
