About Buns&Roll
Fresh baking from the kitchen down the street
Buns&Roll connects home bakers with the people who live near them. Bakers post what they’re baking and when; you order it and pick it up fresh.
Our mission: fresh baked goods for anyone, anywhere.
How it started
Every time I travel, I go looking for the best sourdough in town.
And again and again, the best loaf wasn’t in a bakery. It was coming out of someone’s home kitchen. There are so many brilliant home bakers out there: little gems tucked away from public view, known only to their neighbours and whoever got lucky enough to hear about them.
I built Buns&Roll so you don’t need luck. Open the map wherever you are, and the home bakers near you are right there, with their next bake day and what’s coming out of the oven.

Where you’ll find us
We’re starting in Alberta and British Columbia, and growing as bakers join.
Alberta
Order and pay in the app, then pick up from the baker (or get it delivered, if they offer it).
British Columbia
BC home bakers sell at farmers’ markets. Reserve in the app, then pick up and pay in person at the market. Free for bakers.
Trust, baked in
Allergens on everything
Bakers can’t list an item without its ingredients and allergens.
Reviews both ways
Buyers review bakers and bakers review buyers. Neither sees the other’s review until both are in, so nobody reviews out of spite.
Verified bakers
Every baker who takes payment confirms their identity with Stripe.
A real team behind it
Anyone can report a shop, a product or a message, and every report goes to our team.
Made in a home kitchen that is not inspected by a public health authority. Check the allergens before you order.
Somewhere near you, someone is pulling a loaf out of the oven.
