Breka Bakery
JDG transformed the Denman Street location of Breka Bakery & Café, a beloved family-owned establishment known for its homemade delights, into a welcoming and functional space.
The primary challenge was to infuse the bakery and café with a rustic modern ambiance that resonated with the casual nature of the neighborhood while also accommodating the extensive wholesale product offerings. The original CIBC bank structure presented the challenge of integrating vaults. Maintaining an intimate atmosphere despite high ceilings and concealing bathroom doors.Selecting durable and user-friendly finishes to cater to the diverse clientele and 24/7 operational demands.

Through Design
Our team addressed these challenges by incorporating whitewashed wood in diagonal patterns on the back wall, skillfully concealing bathroom doors from the seating area and creating a sense of warmth.
Large wooden beams were suspended from the high ceilings, adding to the intimacy and visual interest.
A defining element was the full wall of custom shelving made from wooden dowels, where fresh breads and treats were beautifully displayed. The design concept emphasized a light and airy atmosphere with black accents, extensive use of wood, and vintage-style lighting.
Whitewashed Wood Patterns
The whitewashed wood patterns on the back wall effectively concealed bathroom doors while adding a rustic touch to the design.
Suspended Beams
The use of large beams hanging from the high ceilings served to create an intimate atmosphere within the spacious layout.
Custom Dowel Shelving
The custom wooden dowel shelving provided a visually appealing and practical way to display the bakery's products, creating a focal point within the space.
