This is the sort of place that makes me fall in love with Leeds all over again, the little…read moreindependent places which do things in a time honoured way. This place is a little family run bakery, which is obviously very popular, and is just a little way off the centre (as it were) of Pudsey. It's not difficult to see why they are so coveted, as soon as you go in you are greeted by a super friendly team (I assumed a husband and wife team, but can't be 100% sure) ready to help you. I went in to browse and found myself instantly attracted to their lovely looking home-made preserves sets. The gentleman asked me if I was ok, which I was, and then apologised for having to turn on his mixer for a moment! It was lovely, and really wasn't a problem. As I had wandered in around 3pm ish the shelves were looking rather bare - the sign of a great bakers - and so I wandered to the glass counter at the front. I didn't want to walk out without something tasty. In the end I settled for a beautiful heart shaped chocolate brownie, complete with raspberry in the centre, for my boyfriend. It was going to be Valentine's day after all! I'm told that it was delicious, so I'm glad I made that choice. I bought a set of six mini breakfast jams as well, for a friend, and they were totally bargainous. I won't say exactly how bargainous, lest she discover how much I spent, though with any luck it'll be the gesture that counts! All in all this is a delightful place to purchase breads, jams, cakes and any other home made goodies. Just get in early to avoid disappointment!

Stopped by Thomas the Baker while in York, while my wife was enjoying afternoon tea. The place had…read morea welcoming, super friendly vibe, and the display case was filled with fresh pastries, pies, and local specialties. I tried the Steak Bake -- pure comfort food. The filling was a warm, savory mix of diced beef in a rich, flavorful gravy, wrapped in a golden, flaky pastry crust. Service was friendly, and prices were reasonable. Overall, if you're in the area, it's definitely worth a stop. Saluti!

Personailly, I think Thomas the Baker is the best baker ever! I normally grab some lunch there when…read moreI'm in town and have tried a lot of the things they sell, for me the best are the cheese and onion pasties and the Yum Yums. They're very consistent with their quality and although there are other nice bakeries in York, for me, none of them compete with Thomas's. Thomas the Baker is really cheap too, it's possible to get a decent lunch there for a couple of quid. The only bad thing I can say is that it's unhealthy but then again all bakeries are!

Terrible Bakers My…read morewife tends to go in most week ends for a assortment of things, but after this week end it wont be happening again. She bought whats called I think an Elephants Foot fresh cream cake, it certainly wasn't fresh and had me vomiting for most of the night, this certainly doesn't help when I already have a Hiatus Hernia, and if this bursts it could kill me. The cream was clearly off and it certainly smelled it was. I am not in the best of health and currently prescribed 40 tablets a day. How on earth this Bakers can sell stuff like this is beyond me and I would've honestly thought that they should have a QC Dept in shop to check products. What surprises me is that Environmental Health don't do spot checks on premises like this, ie being proactive instead of reactive, when something like this happens. I will leave people to make there own minds up, but just because the shop is packed, doesn't give them the right to cut down on health practises.

After years of wondering what causes the traffic problems in Oulton I have finally found out…read more The Cottage Bakery is situated, strangely enough, in a cottage just off a major roundabout and the only customer parking is on the road side. Which is a problem when you constantly have queues. I parked someway up the road and round the corner and called in for a beef salad sandwich. No sign what so ever of any wussy thin sliced processed beef, this was a seriously beefed up sandwich. A lovely soft breadcake filled to the brim (and beyond) with massive chunks of off the joint beef and lots of crisp, tasty salad (I should be writing this to the strains of falling in love again). I was tempted by the hot sandwiches and pasties and the other savouries looked divine but will have to wait for next time. Tea, coffee and hot chocolate were available and reasonably priced.
