Try red velvet with raspberry buttercream topping, they give you an immediate sugar hit that puts your head in the clouds and shocks your taste buds.

Maybe one day I'll build up enough will power.

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.

The bread is baked fresh every day and they have a wide selection of rolls, pastries and other goodies to choose from.

Now that's service. Except I don't ever see the need when I'll be jonesing for a loaf of bread before 8am, but at least it's nice to know it's possible.

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!

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.

This place is something different that the Lisburn Road really needed. The decor is rustic and the staff are wonderful and knowledgeable.

This is a refreshing alternative to the big coffee chains on the Lisburn Road.
