A small bakery in Ljubljana

Pekarna Zrno – bread that smells like morning

Every morning before dawn, we knead dough from local flour, let it rise slowly and bake loaves with a crisp crust and a soft, fragrant crumb. Stop by for warm bread, a croissant or a seasonal treat.

About us

A family bakery where dough is given time

We opened Zrno bakery as a family with a single wish: to bake bread like the kind we ate at Grandma’s.

We still shape every loaf by hand, in small batches, at our bakery in the heart of Ljubljana. Our sourdough ferments slowly for up to 36 hours, giving the bread a deep flavour, a crisp crust and making it easier to digest.

We buy our flour from local millers who grind grain from Slovenian farms. We fire up the ovens at three in the morning, so warm bread is waiting for you when we open.

Handcrafted

Every loaf is shaped by hand, with no industrial mixes or additives.

Slow fermentation

Up to 36 hours of proving for full flavour, an open crumb and a crisp crust.

Local flour

Grain from Slovenian farms, milled at nearby mills.

Fresh at dawn

We bake fresh every day, starting at three in the morning.

Opening hours

When to find us

We fire up the ovens at four in the morning, so warm bread is waiting for you when we open.

Fresh bread every day from opening until we sell out. We bake in small batches, so our most popular loaves are often gone by noon. To be sure you get yours, reserve your bread with us the day before.
