The Bakery

Great place. Sandwiches are gorgeous and the cakes are amazing. I meet up with friends here regularly. Its a great place to sit and people watch. The staff are always friendly and welcoming and i've never had to wait long for my order. Seating is outside but they have heaters for those chilly days and im sure blankets were handed out when i visited this weekend which i thought was a great touch

Popped in here today for a quick bite to eat after visiting Eureka museum. Staff very pleasant and food arrived quickly. We all had some form of grilled cheese and they were all very good. We would have stayed longer for a slice of cake too but it started raining and we weren’t sat under cover! Would visit again if we’re in the area.

The Bakery is a charming wine bar with a fantastic location. The outdoor seating is particularly delightful and makes for a perfect spot to enjoy a glass of wine on a sunny day. The ambiance is pleasant and relaxed, making it an ideal place for a casual drink or a catch-up with friends. Although I didn't try the food, the menu looked appetizing, and I've heard positive things from others who have dined here. Overall, I would recommend The Bakery for anyone looking for a laid-back atmosphere and a great location to enjoy a drink or a meal.

I feel like the reviews need a healthy dose of realism and balance. It's an absolutely delightful place to sit for refreshments in the heart of the Piece Hall. The service is excellent, especially considering that once a table departs it is immediately filled with another customer. I've been there on busy event days at the Piece Hall and man do the staff work hard to keep everyone fed and watered. They're always apologetic if they think service has been a little slow, but it isn't, you're just behind other people who ordered first. Cake is A+ cake. We come by multiple times a month for coffee and cake and it is always exceptional. Sizes aren't small at all and the price is no different to anywhere selling freshly made cakes of the variety sold here. Toasties here are also cheesy pieces of magnificence. How busy this place is is testament to how great it is. Otherwise, stop expecting instant gratification and appreciate some things in life are worth waiting (more than 3 minutes) for. Ps - only complaint is they once had a Snickers cake in 2021. It was glorious. I haven't seen it on the menu since, which is sub-optimal.
