Jeffers offers everything you could want from a local bakery and this is why it works so well…read more I usually go to Jeffers on an empty stomach and within a couple of minutes leave with a bag full of tasty treats I probably dont need after being coaxed into buying them from the charming old lady behind the counter! They offer a great choice of fresh breads made on the premises, including my favourites - soda bread and potato bread and they do very tasty sausage rolls that can be bought hot or cold, depending on how long you want to wait before devouring them! Their sweets section I have found is also all too tempting, with scrumptious delights such as cream buns, gingerbread men and chocolate eclairs daring you to buy them if you go in with your guard down! Good food at competitive prices, definitely give it a go!

The pastries, the buns, the cream cakes, the birthday treats, the bread, the oh so soft whipped ice cream and, much to my amazement, the slush puppies ...wow! I didn't even know you could get these any more, I had to have one after I saw one kid with a half red, half blue slushy. Ah childhood. How I miss thee! It's good to see old traditions never die! Sandra's seems to be a half grocery shop / local newsagent as much as a bakery, though they certainly do that right, the store handily also sells a few newspapers, confectionery, various tobacco, light grocery and a few magazines. I'm sure it's a great place for the locals as a one stop shop. I have to give brownie points for the slushies too! Happy me!

Sandra's is a strange little establishment, with a shop in the front and the bakery in the back. Seems like an odd combination maybe, but what's better than calling in for your paper and milk and picking up a cream bun to go with it?? I've yet to try anything other than their bread and freshly made sandwiches, but so far, I've had no complaints...which is most unusual...

If you find yourself around Finaghy and fancy something to eat, Coyles bakery is definitely the…read moreplace to go. Much more than a bakery, it is also a coffee shop and a sandwich bar, offering delicious homemade breads, sweets, sandwiches, burgers and Irish stew to satisfy your appitite and with great tasting fresh coffee and tea being served it is a great place to relax and fill up in. When I used to live in London I would always make Coyles one of the last shops to visit when I was returning back across the water and would pick up a few fresh sodas, Belfast baps, scones and other bakes so I could have a taste of home whilst being so far away. A great family run local business that im always happy to use!

You just can't beat…read morewalking into a bakery in the morning and being greeted by the aroma of freshly baked Belfast baps and sausage rolls. A bap, for those of you from farther afield, is soft bread that is crusty at the top. The shape is hard to describe - starts at the bottom in a generally square shape which, slightly higher up, ascends into a dome shape. It's a bit like the dome at the top of the city hall, except it's not quite as big and thankfully it's not green. Aside from that you have a whole array of buns and fresh cream cakes, which for some reason nowadays seem to be called tray bakes, pastries, and gateaus. Apple cakes are still a local favourite from here. A cup of tea and a scone, or a sausage roll bap followed by a bun, are always in supply here and are always a welcome bundle if calling round to a relative's. Try it out if you've never been. Hopefully this long established family bakery will be able to resist the squeeze of the large retail chains and be rotting our teeth for many years to come.

With all its products being freshly prepared on the premises you always know what to expect from Smyth's, which is usually a full stomach and a hankering for another cream bun! I normally use Smyth's at lunch time and it is an ideal place for me to pick up a sandwich and sausage roll on my way home after a swim in the local leisure centre. Apart from this it also offers a delicious range of buns, pastries, cakes and breads to have your mouth watering and the need to go for an extra workout to burn off the pounds after devouring their scrumptious foods!

Up on Castle Street it just seems to be a little bit off the radar of most of the people in the town centre and I got the impression there's definitely a whole bunch of 'regulars' who go here. They've a huge selection of breads and pastries and all things sweet but I much prefer their savoury offerings like their jumbo sausage roll. They'll heat it up for you and with a dash of HP sauce definitely as close to a slice of heaven you'll get on a cold day. Next time you're after lunch, give your usual a miss and head up here. Pros: Delicious food. Cons: A bit off the beaten track.

I've been to the recently opened shop on Botanic avenue to browse what this little place has to…read moreoffer but hadn't actually bought anything until my last trip to St George's Market. There is a lot of stiff competition among bakery and baked goods stalls in the market so most who survive really have to put themselves out there with either a catchy niche or gap in the market, or in this case produce some of the highest quality baked thingys to be had in this city. The bakery does the usual array of sweet and savoury, the sweet being the most impressive. Glazed buns, chocolate cakes, chewy American style cookies which rival Big Ted's available close by and any number of muffins, pastries and cupcakes. I tried a fresh cream donut the last time I was there. Coated in a thin layer of close to sickly sweet whit icing and bunged to the rafters with a sweet cream filling. Light, soft and chewy and heavily glazed it was brilliant if I must say. The staff who run the place are fantastic. I was enquiring about the possibility of getting a chocolate cake made to order for a family member's birthday down the line too, which they said would be grand.

The stand does a huge rage of all things baked including Muffins & Cupcakes, Pastries, Desserts, Gateau's & Tarts, Soft Chewy Cookies, Speciality Bread, Scones....the list goes on! And everything is crafted with immaculate care and precision. Particular favourite of mine are their scones, which are heaving with fruit, and their Danish pastries, which have just the right amount of cinnamon and beautifully light and flaky pastry. One unusual service but one I think should be highlighted is their Bun on The Run service, which is to do with the noble tradition of bringing your own cake to work on your birthday!You can order your buns and French Village will deliver them for you if you want, and best of all they will give you a free bun for your troubles!
