Food Quality

Pros:

  • "Each of the pastries are delicious, flaky, buttery amazingness."
  • "Just finished one of the best slices of carrot cake I’ve had in a long time- absolutely delicious."
  • "The sausage roll was a star, perfect pastry with a good savoury balance."
  • "Best sausage roll I have ever eaten."
  • "DELICIOUSNESS PERSONIFIED. Had snickerdoodle cookie that was so deliciously chewy and balanced really well in terms of sweetness."
  • "The blueberry crumble is tart, sweet, crumbly, and delicate."
  • "The brownie was beautifully smooth with a rich chocolate taste."

Cons:

  • "Undercooked soy sausage roll and cauliflower macaroni pastie was like nothing I had tasted before and hope never to eat again!"
  • "Of late have noticed a definite slip in quality... pastries rushed, unpleasant veggie pasties/empanadas, soggy nata."
  • "They are suffering from rising prices and the food is suffering badly. Less filling in the pasty, stuffed full of potatoes and just smaller overall."
  • "I was disappointed with the pastry (salted caramel & apple bostock) - the artificial almond flavouring was so overpowering I could not taste anything else."
  • "They really had very limited vegan options."
  • "Over priced, over subscribed."
  • "I don't know of any other bakery that runs out of breakfast items by 0830."

Service

Pros:

  • "Great pastries but abysmal service."
  • "Over priced, over subscribed, and burnt pain au raisin."
  • "No cons mentioned regarding staff and service."
  • "The only downside is the limited seating is very busy in a weekend."

Location & Atmosphere

Pros:

  • "The location next to the station is so convenient."
  • "Great atmosphere: think hipster but without the attitude."
  • "It's cool because you can see the baking happen right before your very eyes in the open plan space."
  • "Great location under the railway arches."
  • "Lovely little bakery hidden away under temple meads approach road."
  • "A little gem nested underneath Temple Meads station."
  • "Great location as one can grab a bite after a long train journey."

Cons:

  • "Not 5 stars because it has unfortunately become too popular in such a small space so alas this means long queues and near impossible seats."
  • "They don't have enough of everything."
  • "Limited seating."
  • "The location is a little out of the way."
  • "Can be a bit hard to spot from the main station approach road."
  • "Note, not too much seating and a little cold, not a workspace environment."
  • "The only thing that was a bit of a shame was that there wasn't heaps of seating so it was a bit of a struggle to find somewhere to sit."

Value

Pros:

  • "The toasties are very reasonably priced given their size."
  • "Decent prices."
  • "Not the cheapest but the quality ensures it's still good value."
  • "Prices are reasonable."
  • "It’s slightly pricey but £3.50 for a tasty sausage roll is expected for where it is/the vibe of the place."
  • "Price will always be an issue for some but when treats like this are on offer, please regard it as an experience worthy of an extra few quid."
  • "You pay for it though. Sausage roll £3.50, small white sourdough £3.65, daily ft meals are often small ish but £6-7.50."

Cons:

  • "Over priced, over subscribed."
  • "A little bit pricey."
  • "It is also the most expensive sausage roll I've ever eaten, but I think worth it."
  • "Prices a little on the high side but you get the quality you pay for."
  • "No cons mentioned regarding variety and quality."
  • "But coffee is terrible."
  • "What's worse, is my coffee was cold."
