with grá,
Soda bread, scones, drizzle loaves and a couple of signature things you won't find anywhere else — baked in small batches by Vicky & Dylan, for your kitchen table or your venue's menu.
our story
Grá Ó Bháile started at a kitchen table with Irish recipes carried across from home — soda bread the way it should taste, scones that don't need explaining, and a couple of ideas we couldn't resist inventing along the way.
Everything is still made in small batches with real butter and buttermilk, by the two of us, the way it always has been. We're now baking for Melbourne's Irish pubs, cafés, and households who want something that actually tastes like it came from somewhere.
Gerard’s Irish Soda Bread is named after Vicky’s dad — the family loaf at the heart of Grá Ó Bháile.
"Grá ó Bháile" means love from home. It's in the name because it's in every batch.
Baked in small batches, every single week
