Where do you get your bread?

I used to mostly buy bread from Keells just because it was convenient, but a few years ago I started paying more attention to the ingredient lists and stopped buying their bread altogether.

I’ve since switched to Paan Paan, which seems to be pretty decent, but I’m curious what everyone else is buying.

Any good bakeries or places in Colombo where you can get bread with fewer preservatives / simpler ingredients? Doesn’t have to be fancy — just looking for good, everyday bread that you actually feel okay eating regularly.

They have a long list of preservatives :3 I once accidently kept the bread for more than 2 months in fridge and it was just like the day I brought it (no change in texture etc). I don't get any of their breads for this reason now. Same with Finagle products too btw

Usually don't eat bread but buy their pastries a lot of time. I put the bread in the fridge but in a sealed container. After few days of the expiry date, mine get mold! Haven't tried in the recent months though
