Crumbs The Bakers sourdough bakery atmosphere

Est. 2021 Β· Johar Town, Lahore

Founded by Ume Ali Farhan β€”
Lahore's Top Sourdough Supplier

Crumbs The Bakers was founded in 2021 by Ume Ali Farhan, a Fine Arts graduate from the University of Punjab. What began as a quiet pandemic-era obsession in her home kitchen grew into Lahore's most trusted sourdough micro-bakery β€” built on patience, tradition, and a genuine love of craft.

At the heart of every loaf is a sourdough starter with over 237 years of living bacterial culture β€” a heritage that gives Crumbs bread a depth of flavour, texture, and digestibility you simply can't find anywhere else in Lahore.

Why Sourdough?

No commercial yeast, no additives. Just flour, water, salt, and a living starter β€” fermented for 16 hours for a bread your body can absorb and your taste buds will never forget.

A Letter from Our Founder

Ume Ali Farhan

β€œThis bakery is born from a journey close to my heart. I'm a proud graduate of Fine Arts from the University of Punjab β€” and more profoundly, a blessed mom.”

My path took an unexpected turn when I lost my only daughter to Congenital Heart Disease. It was through that tender, quiet time β€” and through the solace of home β€” that our micro sourdough bakery came to life in Lahore in 2021.

Every loaf we bake carries that story. Every customer we serve is a reminder of why this work matters. Crumbs is not just a bakery β€” it is purpose, shaped by flour and love.
