About Us
Crumbz Bakery is little but has a lot of variety.
Our story
After opening The Flour Warehouse in 2012, general manager Curtis Todd and his team, which includes manager Shakira Cott, have risen to the task of providing tasty breads, cakes and pastries two years later.
“There was a bit of a challenge at first trying to get the De Molen product out into the market. After it got out there, especially the packaged flour, we carried bales of self-rising, all purpose and whole wheat, which we offered to the supermarkets where the general public was able to use it for home consumption. That got off pretty good in the first few months,” she explained.
Quality Assurance
Todd realized there was a need for a bakery and moved in this direction, which is paying off.
Todd’s idea of a business selling solely flour came after spending years working at Barbados Mills. He saw a niche and started.Two years on there are 23 full and part-time staffers who work at the bakery and the retail store in Eagle Hall, and even though Cott said locally sourced flour is still sold, the concentration is on Crumbz with plans to expand to a bigger space.
Customer-Centric Approach
We sell a variety of baked goods.
From salt bread to [sandwich breads, cakes and pastries]. In addition to the regular products Barbadians are accustomed to, we also have a variety of Jamaican products, bulla cakes, spiced and hard dough bread, which we offer two to three days a week. This is the area we have branched into.
Sustainability Initiatives
“We make everything except the drinks we sell,”
It was their Jamaican baker’s idea. He was the first person they hired after opening the bakery which they started from scratch in July last year.
We didn’t know anything about baking. We had no employees so we had to hire people . . . . After we hired the Jamaican baker we brought in another baker to do cakes and sweetbread,” Cott said.The business is the Cake and Pastry Factory under which the bakery falls. She said in those early days they bought products from Baker’s Mart as well as Purity to sell but that has changed.
