    Absolutely delicious cakes, bread, pastry and sandwiches. A must anytime we are near! Great food and always affordable for everyone. Even put in a request for a shipment of peach melbas a while back, for a friend's funeral to bring a smile to everyone. Can't thank the staff enough x

    Food has always been very good and still is, girls are always lovely. I know everything is expensive at the minute but the sizes of stuff they now sell for same money are absolutely tiny. The corned beef pie has gradually been getting thinner over time and the portions they cut smaller and same with chocolate and other cakes, sizes are tiny now.

    Always a queue and for good reason, place had the nicest pies, sausage rolls and cakes I’ve had for a long time. Also has the classic pops I’ve not seen for a long time.

    Absolutely the best little bakery in the area. Fantastic variety of goodies to choose from. There is always a queue but it's worth the wait. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable. As regular visitors we will of course return!

    Love the quiche from here, the staff are amazing and friendly, also the cakes look amazing but unfortunately Im not a one for a sweet tooth so always give it a miss.

    The staff are really friendly and the products on sale are delicious. You might have to queue but that can only mean they serve incredible baked goods. If I couldgive them 10 stars I would.

    I cut my cake into six pieces because I'd never manage eight. By far the best bakery in Shields, if bit Tyneside.

    I had steak and kidney pie. It was full of steak and kidney, it was a real treat. I bought quiche for my wife who was full of praise.

  • 3/5 Kingsley B. 2 years ago on Google
    First time visiting this bakery. Lovely customer service. Lovely pastries but I do feel it’s a little unhygienic to be touching the pastries with the same hands used to handle money. Can you please, advise the staff to wear gloves whiles handling or serving pastries to customers? Thx

  • 5/5 JT Y. 2 years ago on Google
    Can't fault the quality of their products. There is plenty of choice and the shop is spotlessly clean. This bakers has been a favourite in our family for generations. The smiley face cakes and well-done buns are a favourite in our house 😋. The staff are polite and always make time to get to know their regulars.

  • 5/5 Christopher H. 2 years ago on Google
    There is always a queue round the block here, and it is easy to see why, once you get inside and see the goodies on offer, and then eventually tuck into one of their steak pies! My god it is a brilliant, good old family bakery.

  • 5/5 George B. 2 years ago on Google
    Fantastic old school family run bakery, been around for years and produces the majority of products themselves ranging from cakes, trifles, scones, various breads, pies, pastys, sandwiches ect. Great food hygiene, very friendly staff. Can only fit about 4 customers in the shop at a time so be prepared for a little queue to get in but well worth the wait. Street parking around the area available and free residential car park located around the back.
