The bakery was started by the Centre for Better Health, which has been based in Hackney for over 50 years. The bakery is located on Stean Street, Haggertson, where it shares space with two of the charity's other social enterprises, Better Health Bikes and Better Health Products.

Better Health Bakery was recently included amongst the 2016 New Radicals list awarded by The Observer and Nesta, intended to highlight projects that are "doing radical, useful things, often far below the radar of the media" .The bakery was also featured in the Financial Times' 'Five of the Best' London bakeries in 2013.
