How Bread Club works

1
We meet at a small, local businessOnce or twice a month, usually a Monday or Tuesday, so the night brings a little extra business to the host.
2
Bring a loafOne you baked, or one you love from a local bakery. Butter, a spread, or a good oil is a bonus.
3
Support the hostBuy a coffee, a cocktail, a beer, or a glass of wine. Be a good guest in their space.
4
Label what you broughtPost-its at the door: what's the bread, and any allergens. Gluten free, dairy free, vegan, all the nuts and olives: everyone is welcome at this table.
5
Win something bread-yEvery meetup has a raffle. Members who RSVP and check in are entered.
6
Watch for the themeEach meetup has a theme. It'll be in the meetup details and on Instagram.

A bring-list so we don't end up with nine sourdoughs and no butter
Allergen labels ready before you walk in
Automatic raffle entry when you check in
A heads-up email when a new meetup posts

Founder spotlight

Pastry Chef Sam Ward

Sam started Let's Break Bread with a simple idea: bread is better shared, and Charlotte's small businesses deserve a full room on a Monday night.

She is the Head Pastry Chef at L'Ostrica and formerly ran Wentworth & Fenn, the gourmet bakery that put her on Charlotte's best-of lists. Expect strong opinions on crust, crumb, and butter temperature.
