It's a slightly strange location for a confectionary-cum-bakery admittedly, but Moores, in the…read moreheart of the Horsforth suburbs, is rather special. I came across Moores recently after a hectic day in Horsforth, and decided that (judging a book by its cover as I usually do) it would be the perfect place to get a sugar hit on the way home. I wasn't wrong - inside Moores is as quaint and, for want of a better word, sweet, as it appears from the outside. People should be warned that this is not your Greggs-style bakery, but an independent establishment where really care is taken in creating and baking the pastries. The delicacies are so indulgent and perfectly sugared that you'll probably find yourself going back to Moores for more. Luckily, I followed my fruit pastry up with some boiled sweets, meaning that, for the time being at least, I'm sweet enough.

I used to stop in here nearly every morning to pick up a 60p cheese 'pasty' on my way to…read moreUniversity. It was always tasty, filling and unnervingly cheap, and I used to get envious looks from fellow students who'd paid £3 for an alleged pasty from the campus shop that was undercooked, far too flaky and generally inferior. Neither were what could strictly be called a pasty, but that's just the West Country pedant in me coming out and in no way reflects the quality of said pastry snack. They also do delicious, creamy, sugary cakes and buns for around £1 and a selection of sandwiches, though the pastries are definitely the best value for money.

Their warm bread in the morning feels traditional as does the low price and the fact that it doesn't come packed in plastic like supermarket bread of a similar price. You can get a soft loaf with a real crust from Whiteley's that you can't find even in a the so-called bakery of larger supermarkets. They have pasties for under a pound with tasty fillings. I usually go for one of these but they also do sandwiches and cakes. They deliver hot and cold sandwiches if you order more than £10 worth of goods, which sounds perfect for an office lunch!

Excellent food, nice setting, and friendly staff. We very much enjoyed the whole experience…read more The food is delicious and beautifully prepared. The beef cheek was unctuous, and the vegetable accompaniment has lovely notes of cinnamon and juniper in the slaw portion. The hunters stew was filling but not heavy, and well seasoned. The oscypek cheese starter is similar to halloumi, with a firm, salty chew that gets your tastebuds going. The beer selection covers the gamut of Polish beers, from light lagers to raisin-y bocks (Koźlak). There's a wide range of vodka cocktails we did not try, plus ciders and wines. And the truly house made desserts are worth saving room for. I usually pass on dessert, but the cheesecake (not sweet) and poppyseed cake were too much to resist -- and I'm glad we didn't. So filling we brought half back home. The staff was friendly, and our waitress was charming and helpful, and even helped me understand the variations of the gołabki cabbage rolls that my grandmother had called galumpkies. Turns out there are many versions (and names) of these stuffed rolls across Eastern Europe. Now I know! Definitely worth putting on your York agenda. PS: the actual restaurant name is The Blue Barbakan

It's stalls like this that make a wander through the market such an enjoyable experience as you get a real sense of the history and character of the place. The stall has a traditional bakery counter displaying bread rolls and tasty looking cakes - I'd definitely spend my pennies here rather than at the Greggs in the lower section of the market (rather cheeky I feel - opening a chain store, of which there are already more than ten in Leeds, in a market populated by independent retailers, many just getting by. And I'm sad to see market customers queuing in droves to get their Greggs pastry fix when they could support an independent bakery selling very affordable sandwiches and other baked goods a short walk away. Bracketed rant over. ) They also have a range of pre-packaged brand name bread - a little odd when they bake their own. Their cake making display is a real treat to browse, with many a creatively-iced cake that any kid would be overjoyed to see candle-lit on their birthday. They also make wedding cakes with three working days notice. Great for a spontaneous wedding party, couples who haven't been particularly organised or when previous wedding-cake plans fall through. As Amelia mentioned, they offer egg-free cakes, but do they do vegan? As they have considered those who don't eat egg I think it likely they could stretch to include vegans...so it'd be worth asking if you're looking for a vegan cake-making service.

The display of cakes at this bakery is amazing! You can get a spiderman birthday cake, a new-baby…read morecake with a tiny decorative baby on the top, wedding cakes and a myriad of others that can be chosen from a special cake book on request. All cakes have to be ordered but can be made within three working days - pretty good if you consider the quality of decoration. There's a sign saying that all cakes can be made eggless if required but does this mean they can also be made vegan? I'm not sure. The plastic-covered Warbotun loaves seem strangely placed next to these and the floury baps and loaves also on offer but I guess that's what you find in a market like this - peculiar variety.

I am in two minds about this place. On one hand, amazing…read morecurd tarts and lush flapjack. bread is pretty good. On other hand, sandwiches are calculated based on what you add, meaning that a cheese sandwich with salad (no onion) on a ciabatta roll ended up being £3.20! And it wasn't that big or tasty (it in fact tasted of cheap margarine instead of cheese!). I can go to Pooky and Grumps and get a sandwich that knocks my socks off for that price! You can't even justify that price with location or décor. it's a bit of a grotty 70s hole. So for the curd tart, you get three star, Hardaker. although i shall not be relying on you for actual sustenance.

The smell of…read morefreshly baked bread is a wonder to behold, and it's lovely to have it gracing North Lane as you wander up. I nipped in on my initial visit, only meaning to browse, only to get instantly chatting to the lovely chap who I believe must be the owner. He's a vibrant sort and proper Yorkshire. I opted for a few of their bread rolls and he threw in two or three for free as the day was coming to a close! It was awesome. What made me chuckle most was that he told me not to complain if they were a little dry, since he'd given them to me for free, which of course I wouldn't dream of. In fact, they were just fine and I couldn't have been happier. Fresh breads, cakes, cheap prices, banter - what more could you want? With this making up my ultra triumvirate of local produce, I'm as happy as a sandboy. Awesome fresh bread and cakes, fantastic banter and a few bargains to behold. Don't wait up - come to Artisan soon!

My friend and I popped into this bakery as I had seen it numerous times whilst living locally. On…read morethe day we decided to go in and buy local as opposed to head to one of the high street brands we were confronted by a rude, angry man who was bitter that my friend had previously purchased a pie and eggs from another local shop just up the street and continued to mock the previous purchase and its quality. After he had slagged off the items bought elsewhere he banged a loaf down on the counter and demanded the money, chuntering about how he was upset that we had purchased from elsewhere; products that he did not seem to sell. To be fair, the bread was very average and I will not be going again soon. If there are any entrepreneurs out there looking to set up a small retail outlet, please visit Artisan Bakery, Headingley for a masterclass is terrible customer service.

Granted, there are not many tables so it can be hard to grab a seat, but I'd suggest it's worth the wait given what's in store. A few Saturdays ago, treats we're on the agenda. As I'd not been here in ages, we decided to seek out some delectable sustenance here, as that is precisely what I got my friends. I had heard tell these guys do a mean burger, and since I've been banging on about seeking out Leeds' best it seemed only fair to tackle that for lunch. Oh. My. Word. After an enticing wait the food arrived and what lay before me was some kind of demi-god, as far as patties go. A beautifully baked sesame seed bun, with all the fluffy, crispy, freshness you could hope for in a bread cake. The accoutrements included a wonderfully fresh bit of salad, perfectly melted cheddar, and a delightful home made piccalilli. The meat? Seasoned to perfection, juicier than I've known, and cooked like a dream. Slightly pink, like a real burger should be, and a right ruddy messy affair. I was in heaven. Of course, you know all about their award winning cupcakes by now, so I needn't wax lyrical about the white chocolate as raspberry nirvana that I polished off at home, but what you probably didn't know is that I've found a contender for one of Leeds' finest burgers.

As soon as I heard about it I just knew I had to check it out ASAP! I have both the requisite sweet tooth and and a love of all things kitsch and vintage-inspired. Hence I LOVE The Sunshine Bakery! The outside of the shop is painted a sumptuous deep plum colour and the sign features gold, hand-painted lettering with a quaint feel. Inside the walls are covered in oh-so-vintage pink flocked wall paper...but to be honest that's not exactly what your eyes are drawn to with all the tasty treats on display! Anyone with a particular predilection for sweetmeats will be literally drooling all over the shop! The cupcakes cry 'EAT ME' with their generous helpings of many-coloured icing and array of flavours. There are also such delights as champagne truffles, as well as slightly less exciting (though very delicious I'm sure) savoury items including sandwiches and soups as well as tea and coffee. There is a lovely atmosphere at The Sunshine Bakery, with friendly, smiling staff, and the customers seeming very happy to be there and oh so close to their next cupcake fix! I also opted for Eton Mess...it was absolutely delicious! If you live in Chapel Allerton you may find yourself trying desperately to avoid the temptation to visit the Sunshine Bakery daily...luckily for my health I live a reasonably long bike ride away...however, the exercise required to get there will probably just allow me to justify a rampant gorge-fest upon arrival! YUM!

WOW! Its been a while since I have bought bread this good before. We stumbled across this real…read morebakery when we were on the search for the cheese shop and it is right next door. We spoke to the baker and he told us it was all part of the same business, the bakers and the cheese shop and the bakery had outgrown the building and was soon to be moving a mile or two up the road. Anyhow, we walked through the front door and were amazed at the wonderful display of freshly baked breads available to buy. From super open textured, crunchy baguettes to heavy sourdough and super soft farmhouse loaves, stilton and walnut bread, oily foccaccia and on and on. There was also a small selection of sweets such as really nutty brownies, pain au chocolat and danish. Everything looked so good, it took us forever to narrow down our choices. We ended up buying four loaves of bread and two cakes. All were beautiful and very tasty which is a big lack in most of today's crappy supermarket breads which people have become accustomed. My favourite was the baguette, it really was out of this world. The breads were a little pricey but WELL worth it. And the place is definetly worth a visit!
