SIP Sourdough Bread – Handmade in Alicante
You’ve probably smelled it before you’ve seen it.
That slow, warm scent drifting through the air on Carrer Poeta Campos Vasallo, just around the corner from Mercado Central. That’s not a factory loaf. That’s SIP Sourdough Bread — handmade every morning, right here inside Sip and Wonder Café.
The kind of bread that asks for time.
Before the sun rises, the process begins. Organic flour. Filtered water. Sea salt. A wild starter we’ve been nurturing for years. Nothing else. No additives. No shortcuts. Just patience — and the quiet work of fermentation doing what it does best.
Our dough rests anywhere from 24 to 36 hours. Slowly developing its tang, its texture, its soul. By the time it reaches the oven, it’s already alive with flavour — deep, earthy, and a little bit wild. Every loaf is hand-shaped, baked in small batches, and served the way bread should be: still warm, still breathing, still carrying that smell that stops you mid-step. It’s the same bread we serve for brunch — under poached eggs, beside coffee, shared between friends. The kind people cross Alicante for.
Pre-order your loaf (and maybe a flat white while you’re here)
You can now pre-order SIP Sourdough Bread through our online store.
Each loaf is one kilo — ideal for sharing, gifting, or keeping all to yourself (we won’t judge).
Here’s how it works:
Next-day pickup for one loaf — order before 10:00 a.m. the day before.
2+ loaves need at least 3 days’ notice, so we can work them into our fermentation schedule.
Pickup in-store at Sip and Wonder, Carrer Poeta Campos Vasallo, 8, 03004 Alacant.
And if you’ve never been here before, we’re not just the place that bakes — we’re where locals gather for specialty coffee, breakfast, brunch, and lunch in Alicante City Centre. A place that smells like bread and sounds like easy conversation.
Keeping it fresh (if it lasts that long)
Let’s be honest — most loaves don’t make it past day one. But if yours somehow does:
Wrap it in a tea towel or paper bag to keep the crust crisp.
It stays perfect for up to two days at room temperature.
For longer storage, slice and freeze it — then toast straight from frozen for that just-baked crunch.
Follow the smell
Some people find us by searching “best brunch in Alicante.” Others just follow their nose.
Our sourdough has become part of the daily rhythm of this neighbourhood — from the early morning waft near the market to the quiet chatter of coffee cups inside the café.
So next time you’re wandering through central Alicante and catch that warm, sweet smell in the air, you’ll know where it’s coming from.
That’s us. That’s SIP Sourdough Bread.
See you soon — maybe for coffee, maybe for bread, maybe for both.
