Named after the ‘Little Bear’constellation Ursa Minor, Dara and Ciara O’hArtghaile’s unusual bakery and café is a small business with a big heart.
Specialising in traditional sourdough and fresh yeast breads along with rustic-style patisserie, they are among just a handful of Real Bread Ireland (realbreadireland.org) members in Northern Ireland and the secret of their popularity is, as they say themselves, “We like to keep things simple and try to do just a few things - but do them really well.”
Those few things include delicious light vegetarian lunches showcasing seasonal local produce, as well as the irresistible pastries and sweet bakes that go so well with their speciality teas and coffees.
And, keen to spread the word on Slow Food and sustainability, these Economusée (artisansaloeuvre.com) ‘Artisans at work’ members share their craft downstairs on storyboards - and also offer tours and workshops.
The real deal.
