Our Milestones
Founded Since 2018
2018
The Beginning
After years of baking from home and dreaming of something more, Anna opened the doors to The Cosy Oven in Athlone. What started as a small neighbourhood bakery quickly became a local favourite for fresh bread, coffee, and friendly faces.
2019
Growing Community
Word spread fast, and soon the bakery became a morning ritual for locals. We expanded our menu to include an all-day breakfast and introduced pre-orders for our most-loved loaves and cakes.
2020
Baking Through Uncertain Times
When the world slowed down during COVID-19, we kept the ovens warm. We introduced home deliveries and takeaway boxes so our customers could still enjoy fresh bakes safely at home — a small comfort during a difficult year.
2021
Recognised for Our Craft
We were honoured to receive a Local Food and Hospitality Award for Best Artisan Bakery — a moment of pride for our dedicated team and loyal customers who made it possible.
2024
Still Baking, Still Growing
From our first loaf to our newest seasonal creations, our passion for homemade baking remains at the heart of everything we do. Every day, we’re grateful to share the warmth of The Cosy Oven with our community.
From Simple Ingredients to Cosy Bakes
At The Cosy Oven, we keep things simple: good flour, real butter, fresh eggs and carefully chosen local ingredients wherever we can. Every morning, our team is in early mixing doughs, laminating pastry, whisking batters and hand-shaping each bake. It’s slow, hands-on work – but it’s how we make sure every loaf, bun and slice that leaves our oven tastes like real, honest home baking.
