B2B Bakery Supplier in Dubai and Abu Dhabi: Bakery or Distributor?

Farah Bakery is a B2B bakery supplier in Dubai, not a bread distributor: we bake every loaf to order in our own kitchen in Dubai Silicon Oasis and deliver it to businesses such as cafés, restaurants, hotel kitchens, offices and shops across Dubai and to Abu Dhabi. On our online shop a loaf costs from 10 AED for White Toast Bread to 35 AED for Brioche Toast Bread, and delivery is 20 AED below 150 AED and free from 150 AED, with no minimum order. In Dubai the earliest window is tomorrow, 7–10 am; in Abu Dhabi it is two days after ordering, between 2 pm and 8 pm.

This page covers the supply model rather than the range. For each of our breads matched to a type of service, see what we bake for businesses in Dubai.

Is Farah Bakery a bread distributor or a bakery?

Farah Bakery is a bakery: we bake the bread we deliver in our own kitchen in Dubai Silicon Oasis (Nadd Hessa), and we do not import, resell or distribute other companies' bread.

• A distributor or trading company buys bread and other food from bakeries or factories, often abroad, stores the stock and delivers it to many businesses, usually alongside a wide range of other products.
• A bakery bakes the bread it delivers, so the range is its own and the timing follows its ovens. We bake to order, for the day each delivery is due, rather than from stock.

Both serve businesses, and many kitchens use both: a distributor for the dry store and a long list of lines, a bakery for the bread on the plate.

What are the main ways bread reaches a business kitchen?

Bread reaches a business kitchen in three forms: packaged long-life bread, frozen bread thawed or finished on site, and fresh bread baked to order for a planned day.

• Packaged long-life bread. It is sealed so it keeps far longer on a shelf, and each pack carries its own date. It needs shelf space and stock rotation.
• Frozen bread. It arrives fully baked or part-baked, is kept in a freezer, and is thawed or finished on site. It needs freezer space, an oven and staff time, and the kitchen controls the final bake.
• Fresh bread baked to order. It is baked for a planned delivery day and arrives ready to serve. It needs ordering ahead, someone to receive it, and a plan for whatever is not used within its keeping time.

The right format depends on the menu, the storage and the staff, and many businesses mix them. We supply the third kind.

What changes when a kitchen moves to fresh bread from a bakery?

Five things change: how often you order, where the bread is kept, what goes in the freezer, who receives each delivery, and how far ahead you plan. Our guide to what fresh means for delivered bread in Dubai covers the delivery side.

• Ordering rhythm. Fresh bread keeps for days, not weeks, so you order by the days you will use it. A loaf that keeps three to four days covers the first part of the week; the rest is a second delivery or the freezer.
• Storage. Room temperature, never the fridge, where bread stales faster than on the counter. The sourdough loaves below start cut side down on a board; tin loaves stay sealed or tightly wrapped. Our guide on how to store bread in Dubai goes loaf by loaf.
• A freezer plan for surplus. Most of our loaves can be sliced and frozen before they pass their keeping time, then toasted straight from frozen. The plain Croissant, 14 AED, is wrapped and frozen the day it arrives and revived from frozen at 160 to 170°C for five to six minutes; it is the one croissant whose storage note recommends freezing. The Sourdough Baguette, 15 AED, is cut in half, wrapped tightly and frozen within about four hours of delivery, then baked from frozen at 200°C for ten to twelve minutes. Our guide to buying bread in bulk covers freezing a large order.
• Receiving. Fresh food needs a person, not a doorstep: please make sure someone is available to receive the order. We cannot replace fresh items left uncollected or unrefrigerated.
• Lead time. Everything is baked to order: our Country Sourdough Loaf is slow-fermented for over 24 hours, with an overnight rest in the cold, so it cannot be made on the day.

Which Farah breads suit a kitchen used to long-life or frozen bread?

The loaves that keep longest after delivery suit such a kitchen most, because they leave the most room between orders: the Country Sourdough Loaf and the Date, Walnut & Honey Sourdough each keep three to four days.

• Country Sourdough Loaf, 25 AED. It slices well for three to four days.
• Date, Walnut & Honey Sourdough, 30 AED. The crumb stays soft for three to four days. It contains walnuts.
• Multi-Seed Sourdough Loaf, 28 AED. Three good days, and a fourth that toasts well. Its seeds include sesame.

For slicing through a service, the tin loaves:

• Multi-Seed Whole Wheat Toast Bread, 32 AED. About three days kept sealed; after that, slice and freeze it.
• Japanese Milk Bread Loaf, 18 AED. Still genuinely soft on day three; beyond that, slice, wrap tightly and freeze.
• White Toast Bread, 10 AED. Beyond a couple of days, slice it, freeze it and toast it from frozen.
• Brioche Toast Bread, 35 AED. Two to three days tightly wrapped, and it takes to the freezer well.

The full ranges are on our sourdough, toast loaves and buns and croissants collection pages, with focaccia on its own page.

What we do not offer: we do not sell frozen or part-baked bread for finishing on site, and our range has no rye bread. Our kitchen handles wheat, gluten, eggs, dairy, nuts, peanuts, soy, sesame and seeds, and we cannot guarantee that any item is free from traces of these. If anyone you serve has an allergy or intolerance, tell us before you order and we will tell you honestly whether we can serve them safely.

How does delivery work for a business in Dubai and in Abu Dhabi?

In Dubai the earliest delivery is tomorrow morning, 7–10 am; in Abu Dhabi it is two days after ordering, between 2 pm and 8 pm. There is no same-day delivery in either emirate.

• Dubai. Checkout offers four windows: tomorrow morning, 7–10 am; tomorrow afternoon, 3–6 pm; the morning of the day after tomorrow, 7–10 am; and the next Saturday morning, 9 am–12 pm.
• Abu Dhabi. Checkout shows four consecutive dates, the earliest two days after ordering, each between 2 pm and 8 pm. These orders go out with our courier partner, who needs a full day's notice, so next-day delivery isn't available.
• Both emirates. The earliest option is preselected, so check which one is ticked before you pay. Orders placed after our evening cut-off are scheduled for the next baking day, and checkout shows the date.

At checkout, tick "Delivering to a company / business?" and add the company name, drop the map pin on the entrance the driver should use, and name the person receiving in the notes for the baker. Payment is on PayPal's page, where a credit or debit card works, usually without a PayPal account; prices are shown in AED and settled in US dollars. Our delivery page has the full terms.

Two worked trial orders at current shop prices:

• A Dubai café: two Country Sourdough Loaves (50 AED), two Multi-Seed Whole Wheat Toast Breads (64 AED) and two White Toast Breads (20 AED) come to 134 AED, or 154 AED with the fee. Adding a Japanese Milk Bread Loaf at 18 AED makes 152 AED with free delivery.
• An Abu Dhabi office pantry: four Country Sourdough Loaves (100 AED) and four Croissants (56 AED) come to 156 AED, so delivery is free. The croissants are for that afternoon or the freezer; the loaves cover the days after.

How do you start buying from a bakery, or change suppliers, without a gap in service?

Run a trial order alongside your current supply, and change over only once the deliveries have held up in your own service.

1. Compare what you use now with our range. Note which breads you use, roughly how many on each day of service, and how long each one waits before it is used. Our wholesale page shows what we bake for businesses, without prices.
2. Place a trial order through the shop for a real service day at your own address. In Abu Dhabi, the earliest date is two days out.
3. Judge it in your own service, at real volume, with your current supply still running. Check whether each loaf lasts until your next delivery would arrive, and what would go into the freezer.
4. Message us through our contact page with your type of business and emirate, which breads you want and roughly how many, which days you need them, and who will receive them.

The questions worth putting to any supplier, us included, are in our guide to choosing a wholesale bakery supplier in Dubai.

Are wholesale prices and terms for regular supply published?

No: pricing for regular volume, standing-order days and how much the numbers can change, notice, delivery days, receiving and what happens when something goes wrong are agreed with you directly, and none of them is on our website. The prices on this page are online shop prices, the terms a trial order runs on.
