The good, old-fashioned bakery is one of the many lovely independent shops lining Cowbridge High…read moreStreet. It has a proper local feel to it, with a warm welcome from the friendly staff, and this along with the quality bread and cakes makes it very popular. As you'd expect, it sells a wide variety of range of loaves, pastries, pasties, cakes, and sandwiches, and has space to sit down and eat there, within their conservatory cafe area or the walled outside terrace. A great little spot for lunch during a shopping trip to Cowbridge.

After a busy afternoon shopping, it was lovely to sit down with a drink and a cake in the sunshine. My friend is on a diet so was pleased that they offer low fat options and chose a slice of the skinny banana and raisin loaf, which had less than 5% fat! The prices at the bakery were very reasonable and the staff very friendly. It really is the ideal place for a quick cup of coffee in the middle of a shopping trip. We were there on a weekday afternoon and had no problems finding a seat outside, however at weekends I have sometimes chosen to go elsewhere as it's been so busy.

I recently visited the old Wool Barn to look at some art pieces. What really caught my eye though,…read morewas a studio in which the most divine collection of cakes were being made. The cakes were all made for weddings, birthdays, christenings etc. Of the ones on display when I called in each could deservedly be called works of art! I got chatting with the owner who told me that the studio opened 20 years ago and that they can make cakes in a variety of flavours, fruit, chocolate (using Belgian chocolate -clearly only the best at this place), lemon madeira, chocolate orange, lime and coconut to name but a few! They also made cupcakes (minimum order of 12) in a wide variety of flavours and toppings, as well as pastries and desserts. As I couldn't think of any imminent situation to justify purchasing a celebration cake I had to satisfy myself with a purchase of a fruit tartlet which was scrumptious! Word of warning though; the fresh pastries and desserts are only available on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. If you do decide to order a cake from Cakes for Celebrations they can be contacted by their website or telephone number.

This lovely space is flooded with daylight on a sunny day, making this gorgeous craft bakery a rather splendid place to work. The last time I visited they were making cup cakes. I am always fascinated to watch even the most prosaic of actions when it comes to the making of divinely sweet things, and instead of asking intelligent questions like 'how long have you been doing this?, and 'how long does it take to process an order?', I ask things like, "do you get to lick out the bowl afterwards?" Hmmm... The assistant, who was feeding the mixture into trays, (and could well be the owners daughter, but of course I didn't ask, even though the question did actually occur to me), smiled and said that she likes to polish off what is left of the fruit cake mixes. "Oo, yes, they're the best aren't they?" I immediately responded. "Yes" she said, "it's all of the fruit and spiciness". "The mix actually tastes better raw doesn't it?" I concurred. She nodded, grinning. I knew I had found a kindred soul!
I used to pop in to Coast (a good mile inland may I add) quite a bit when I lived in Llantwit…read moreMajor, as my mum used to enjoy lunch here. The sandwiches were always fresh and scrumptious. I decided to return the other day for a quick check back before I reviewed it for Yelp, and I'm glad I did as it seems Coast has gone through a couple of changes. It looks like they open in the evenings for tapas and cocktails now, they even a beer pump installed. I don't why but I find the fact that the spirits behind the bar, which have their tops covered in Clingfilm really off putting. What happened to the caps? Why do I not like it, I know it keeps it fresh which is great, but this image is burned into my mind, returning in my sleep. I need help. I didn't have the time nor the room to check if their substantial sandwiches were still up to scratch, but the black coffee I did quaff was very bitter. Coast remains a friendly café that has a good rapport with its loyal customers, but I found the service to be a bit slow.
Turned up at 1:32pm on a sunny Sunday looking for a quick lunch. Sign outside said Open until 2pm…read more After sitting at a table in the otherwise empty "restaurant" we were told the kitchen had closed at 1:30, moment earlier. No offer of a limited choice menu or a simple sandwich. Staff clearly not interested in our custom or money. We won't be back and will tell others of our experience. Frustratingly unprofessional and small minded.

I was expecting it to be more like an actual authentic bakery but it was not that. The food was very okay.

Not sure if I will come back again no matter how cheap it is. It is very convenient though.

The prices are really cheap as they need to sell the goods before they become completely inedible. There are many families on very low incomes in this area so the shop is very popular. Day old bread and cakes may be slightly stale, but they still fill hungry stomachs. This is the only Greggs that I've come across that does this, but maybe as the recession bites, other cut-price branches will open elsewhere. For the best buys here, it is best to come early, as the goods are collected from the other stores overnight and then brought to this store first thing.

The Crwys store has a very small shop floor space but you won't be in long enough to notice, once you've purchased your pasty more than likely you'll enjoy it in your vehicle because there's never any seating at Gregg's. Go to a proper cafe sit down don't rush and don't eat while driving it just takes all the enjoyment out of food. I don't agree with Gregg's in principle because it's a fast food chain that's so fast you don't have time to sit down.

And Greggs is particularly good about delivering what you need in that department. This one particularly because I have always been served with a smile. At the same time, Greggs - any store, any where - cannot compete with excellent fresh, local, independent bakeries. Not only is the food fresher and better tasting for it. But the feeling of supporting local businesses is great. Even given all of this, this is a good Greggs.

Items that aren't sold in the other Greggs' branches are brought to this store to be sold the following day. You can buy a ring donut for 16p or a cupcake for 23p (!!!), making this Greggs the perfect cheap-eats haunt for the value-conscious diner. My mate brought in donuts from here once, and, although they were a bit stale, you can't really complain when you can buy four for less than 75p. Barry's Greggs Bargain Bakery is the first one I've seen, but I imagine there must be a few dotted across the country (my Google search brought up just one other in Newcastle). This place is normally quite busy during the day, so it's worth arriving as early as you can, as the best goods will normally sell out by lunchtime.

The original Mr Heinz thought 57 a lucky number, so he used it in his marketing. He never had 57 products in the sense that he began with a few and quickly had over 100. Back to Greggs mega friendly service, not surprisingly very busy and alright latte coffee not great coffee but not at all bad. It's £2 for pete's sake and it was tasty.

You can usually find at least one Greggs shop in every high street. They also sell seasonal cakes and goodies, for example Halloween you will find scary looking creepy crawly cupcakes, or at Easter theres your Easter Bunny Buns O.K So they are not actually called this but a good example right? You can always see what's being made, you can see the staff out the back making fresh sandwiches, or getting freshly baked sausage rolls out of their big bulky ovens. Another good thing about Greggs is they do have promotions such as their meal deal where you buy a sandwich, drink and something else for a certain price. Bit of an incentive to shop in there! There is a downside though, the store becomes so busy Queues are usually way outside of the shop itself especially at dinner time/midday when people are on their breaks and are all looking for a quick, satisfying lunch.
