About us

How we started…

Olivia’s started as a small craft bakery in the heart of Loughborough. We opened in late 2018 and we are now busy baking all your favourite breads, pastries and treats and brewing amazing coffee in our 4 locations!

Through 2021 we had the amazing opportunity of taking over the new café and visitor centre at the Outwoods woodlands in Charnwood, and since late 2021 you can also find us there brewing the same amazing coffee, filling people’s tummies with the same amazing food and selling our popular sourdough bread.

During 2023 we started getting so busy that we decided to move our little production bakery from our Market street basement to a new 2200 sq ft industrial unit that we call HQ. From April 2024 you can find us there baking and also brewing the same amazing coffee and offering a wide range of pastries, bakes and bread all in its own little cafe.

Now we are also selling our bread and pastries in Melton Mowbray, inside the Stokeyard. You can find us in all market days, as well as during all the events in the season. Please check our social media for updates, as some events restricts the access when you haven’t purchase a ticket.

Please let us know if we can help you in any way. We cater to all food intolerances, our production is fully peanut and tree nut free and we always have vegan and gluten-free bakes and bread available.

Meet the owner

Jose was born in Colombia, but spent most of his childhood in Spain. He studied to become a chef in Madrid and discovered he had a knack for baking. After being mentored by some of the best chefs in Spain, Jose was soon working as head pastry chef in “El Club Allard” in Madrid (2 Michelin Star) and later on in “Lasarte” in Barcelona (3 Michelin Star).

Jose came to England in 2015 and became the head chef in “Episode Hotel” in Warwickshire, but he just missed baking too much! He wanted to learn more about English bakes and cakes so he joined the team of “The Tiny Bakery” in Leicester, while he dreamt about opening his own place some day. Shortly after, opportunity arises and he finds the perfect spot for opening a small artisan bakery in Market Street, Loughborough and that was the start of Olivia’s Coffee and Bakery.

But then… who is Olivia?

Jose’s name might be the one in all the paperwork, but Olivia is the real boss. Olivia was born behind a dumpster in Madrid, where she was found half starved and sick. She was nursed to health and started planning how to conquer the world. That’s when she met Jose, and from the moment she locked her eyes with him, she owned him with her cuteness. She is responsible to keep tabs on feeding the sourdough starter, the most important job. She wakes Jose up everyday at the same time so he remembers to do it (and feed her as well, since he is already in the kitchen).
