Three Mills Bakery - Capital Food Markets

Three Mills Bakery’s Capital Food Markets location brings the Canberra bakery’s hand-formed sourdough and artisan pastries to Market Street in Belconnen. The bakery also has a bake-at-home range, pantry products and gifts, making this a useful stop for picking up something for home rather than simply looking for a sit-down meal. The website’s focus is firmly on carefully made baked goods, with an emphasis on flavour, texture and the time involved in producing good sourdough.

Sourdough is central to the Three Mills story. The bakery describes time as the most important ingredient in its sourdough process, and its original vision was to work with house-milled flour, local ingredients and traditional long fermentation techniques. Its range includes sourdough buns and pastries, alongside products designed to be finished in a home oven. That makes the Belconnen shop relevant both to customers after ready-to-eat bakery goods and to home cooks who want to bake something themselves.

The business began in Canberra during the winter of 2013, starting in the basement of an ambitious NewActon project that combined an artisan bakery, local produce restaurant and bar. As demand grew, the bakery moved to a larger site at Majura Business Park, with the name Three Mills reflecting its intention to work with three distinct grain suppliers. The business says it has since grown its team while retaining its focus on sourdough, pastry and careful production. Its wider operation includes bakery, pastry, assembly, logistics and front-of-house teams, supported by an emphasis on training, collaboration and respect for wholesale partners.

At T44/T45, 10 Market Street, the Belconnen location suits anyone who appreciates bread and pastry made with a considered process, whether you are buying for yourself, taking something home to share or looking for a bake-at-home project. It is also a practical option for solo customers who want a quick bakery purchase, while the range of take-home products gives groups and families something to bring back to the kitchen. The site lists the Belconnen bakery among Three Mills’ Canberra locations and provides a direct contact number for enquiries.
