About Santo Bakehouse

Santo Bakehouse opened in October 2021 on Calle Espíritu Santo, Madrid, after months of renovations. During the first six months, George and Valerie worked alone, offering a curated selection of sourdough breads and artisan pastries. Over time, their offerings have grown to include more products, including coffee and takeaway drinks, always maintaining their focus on quality and on crafting unique products that reflect their passion for dough and their commitment to authenticity.

Their philosophy is simple: focus on a few products and perfect them constantly. Rather than offering an overwhelming variety, George and Valerie have preferred to modify the classics to offer the best possible version. This has allowed Santo Bakehouse to forge a unique identity, as a bakery oriented towards excellence that values the connection with its customers and the use of the highest quality ingredients.

Val & George

Valerie Hassan and George Kallias met in Madrid. Val, originally from the east coast of the United States, had spent years working as a home baker and moved to Madrid to work at a local artisanal bakery. George's experience in his native Bristol (UK) includes working in several restaurants and bakeries, having spent some time working in Michelin-starred restaurants.

Their shared passion for artisan baking and technical excellence, together with the high quality they have consistently demonstrated, has resulted in a bakery with refined European roots, nods to popular American baking, and the excellence of the British savory pastry tradition, combined with sweet influences from the Nordic countries, Central Europe, and the Eastern Mediterranean. This highly personal project has built a solid reputation in Madrid despite its small size and short history.
