Loathe as i am to agreeing with anybody younger and arguably prettier than myself, i must, despite…read moremy reservations, commend Gordon on his review for this wee place.....damn you!!!!!!! Snot face is right, this is a cracking wee place that's straight out of days of yore in terms of both pricing and style. With most bakers now taking on the Greggs look, its refreshing to find one that ain't. Add to this the great pie's, prepubescent G is right here too, they are pretty damn fine and you have yourself a mighty fine wee find out here in the sticks on Partick. So yeah, if your out this way and fancy some stodge followed by some sugary fat with cream then why not follow young child and my advice...come here....sorry Gordon...it's your own fault for being born after me.

The Wee Bakers provides some welcome relief on a street that is full of nothing but newsagents…read more There is also a few other bakeries further up the street towards Partick, though the Wee Bakers is in my opinion the best of the bunch. The prices are very cheap in the Wee Bakers - for example, it is only £1.55 for a can of Irn Bru, a hot scotch pie and a chocolate chip cookie. There is also a great choice of not only various cakes and pastry food such as sausage rolls and bridies, but also hot soup, filled rolls, tea and coffee. Service is very quick - there is obviously stuff that has already been heated in advance so you don't have to sit and wait for long, though the food is always heated through properly; it's not like in Greggs where they give you a pie that has been sitting out all afternoon and has gone cold. The ladies who work here are also very pleasant and friendly. My only real complaint about this place is that it looks a bit too old and traditional - it would be nice to see the cakes sitting out in more pristine and modern storage trays etc. However, all of the food I have tasted is excellent - the scotch pies in particular taste unique and are possibly the best I've ever eaten (trust me, I've tried them at just about every football ground in Scotland!), while the donuts and cookies are gorgeous, even though I feel terribly guilty every time I indulge in one. T This place absolutely wipes the floor with the two Greggs nearby, not just in terms of the food, but the service too.

But we all agree that someone had to tell you sometime…read more If you have not being eating bagels from Newlands Home Bakery - then every single one of your bagel experiences have been crap . . . sub-par . . . atrocious. Newlands Home Bakery make the best bagels in Glasgow. Toasted, they are astoundingly good. They make the mealy pap that you have been buying from the supermarket which taste more like wallpaper paste. And do not get me started on those New York Brand things (that cannot be called bagels). If you want a great bagel - get yourself to Shawlands and buy these bad boys. Toast them up with a little butter. You can thank me later. I will take my payment in sesame bagels.

About 5 times bigger than any other Newlands, with different decor to boot, it's a haven for freshly baked bread, pies, cakes and a small but high quality number of deli-style bumph. It quite frankly, shits all over Greggs.

Pies are very greasy. Meat in bridies are the size of a 5p piece. Cakes and rolls are fine.read more

Nae offence Greggs! You've just got to try their jam donuts, they are the most delicious donuts I've ever tried and they're square. I've even heard from a local that when Sir Alex Ferguson was up with a coach load of footballers, he made the coach driver stop off so he could pop into Watsons. It's a little hidden as it's off the main road but I would definitely make a detour and swing by for some mighty scrumptious snacks.

I first met Rachel at the BBC Good Food Show, where she showed me how to pipe icing properly. When I heard she was opening up, I couldn't have been more excited. Even more so when I found out just how close it was to me. (So much so I have been for the past 2 Saturdays and am most likely going twice this weekend...) This is a bakery, selling cake, cupcakes, tray bakes, teas, coffees and soft drinks. There are a variety of gluten free options available. The bakery is through the back, so the place smells of cake permanently. I've sampled both the red velvet and salted caramel cupcakes. The red velvet was gorgeous, although I loved the salted caramel cupcake more. The centre was filled with ooey gooey caramel. The tea was better than the coffee, coming in individual gorgeous glass teapots. A cup of earl grey is the perfect accompaniment to a piece of cake. I love the quirky antique sets that everything gets served in. Rachel also does custom cakes and cupcakes for all occasions, ranging from weddings, birthdays to graduations. The bakery accepts cash and cards. No outdoor seating (yet!)

Not only were they able to make a top notch sponge/ jam/ cream cake with a personal touch at short notice, the customer service was top notch as well. During this transaction, I interacted with two staff members independently of the other & I was blown away with how genuine and matter of fact these women are. As a West Ender it is sometimes easy to become jaded to certain businesses on my own doorstep. As such I wish I had an excuse to use this quality bakery more often & I really rate it & value it as part of the local community. It is an undiscovered gem that deserves to be highly rated & more widely known!

This is essential preventive maintenance to avoid being sucked in by the goodies on display in the window. Today I forgot the protective ritual, and before I knew it I was standing in the queue behind a lady with a pram, salivating like a dog over all the yummy stuff on display (metaphorically speaking of course - what kind of a slob do you think I am?) Veggie sausage rolls, slices of pizza, flapjacks, tarts, gluten-free cakes, flower-pot bread... (wait, what was that last one again?) - for such a small place they produce a fabulous range of tasty treats to tickle your taste buds. There's no coffee and no seating, but they are, after all a BAKERY, people! Not a coffee house. If you want somewhere to sit, cross the road and sit in Mansfield Park, or on one of the outdoor exercise machines as I saw a lady doing as she scoffed her cake - perhaps the mere presence of the machine was counterbalancing the calorific consumption in her head? Great bakery, and a fantastic addition to the Hyndland Street bohemiana.

I come in here just about every time I am strolling through the neighborhood. The bakers are very friendly! Be aware of the limited hours if you are checking-out MHB for the first time. My favourite savory treats are the tomato basil slice and you can't go wrong with any of the rolls. I even like the vegetarian lentil roll, and I'm as carnivorous as people get! I'm sure many of the other items are good too; I just haven't tried them because I get hung up on the delicious things I have already eaten! Onto the important stuff: CAKES and PASTRIES! I love their chocolate volcanoes! I have a new found love for My Home Bakery's lemon-cranberry cake. You also can't go wrong with the almond-crusted strawberry bakewell. My favorite fruity item is the raspberry crumble dowsed in powdered sugar. And if you can't decide, you may need to order a 'party box' to figure it out (see photos). If I am there in the morning the cinnamon brioches are hard to pass up! I got my friend Jeevan hooked on them too! Long story short, there is a reason why the front door says, "diets end here!"
