Kalamaja Bakery

The Kalamaja Bakery sits behind a weathered wooden facade, marked by a simple, hand-painted sign that often hangs slightly crooked above the door. This bakery grew out of the local push to reclaim the neighborhood’s industrial roots after years of neglect. A small group of bakers started the ovens here using recipes that favor long fermentation times over automated speed. You can smell the sourdough cooling on the racks from down the block, a scent that draws the morning queue around the corner.
