Sweet October began as a personal passion project founded by David, whose love for baking started in his teenage years while working in local bakeries. Over the years, he honed his craft, creating handmade products and developing a particular passion for making artisan scones.
Driven by a dream to share his creations with others, David began selling his bakes at local markets, including the iconic Police Box in Leith. Through dedication, hard work and a commitment to quality, he was eventually able to open Sweet October in the heart of Leith, turning a lifelong ambition into reality and creating a place where people can enjoy homemade products from a local independent bakery.

Rewards & Recognition
"Simply the loviest. The scones were remarkable, it's a cute space and the person working there is super welcoming! If I lived in Edinburgh I would come back every week. Super nice and the prices are also a good point so you can have even more deliciousness."

"I have been buying from Sweet October since it was a pop up stall on Leith Walk. Everything I have bought has been delicious and I was always met with exceptional customer service and a smile. Can't recommend the place more, the best focaccia sandwiches and scones around."

Standout recommendations include the blueberry roll and millionaire biscuit — both out of this world! The owner, David, is incredibly welcoming and attentive, making every visit special."
