Miette Sandwicherie

Miette began with one baker, a sourdough starter, and a van. Founder Thea Bryson set out in 2019 to undo bread’s bad reputation by returning to the fundamentals: organic, locally milled flours, slow fermentation, and low-intervention techniques that highlight grain at its best. What started as a small-scale project has grown into one of Montreal’s most respected bakeries, with loaves that balance restraint and character. Thea’s philosophy of “conscious simplicity” extends beyond the bread itself—Miette works sustainably, sources with care, and treats bread as everyday nourishment rather than indulgence.

That vision expanded with this sandwich counter in Saint-Henri, housed in the former Rustique Pie Kitchen, where Miette’s bread finds new form in seasonal creations like beet-cured salmon gravlax on a sourdough English muffin or peach-topped focaccia. Whether sweet, savoury, or simply a boule pulled warm from the oven, Miette’s work proves that real bread still carries weight.
