You can get pies, pasties, quiches, pizzas and wonderful cakes. My favourite is an apple cake thing which is lovely. Because they're a small concern it often depends what time of day you go as to what's left. The main reason I go in is because they make they're own bread. Importantly they don't just make bread from wheat but also from spelt. Quite a few people are gluten intolerant so spelt is a good alternative. If I'm not mistaken spelt is native to the UK and was the flour of choice before cheap wheat from the Commonwealth became common. So with transport costs high and a move towards food sourced locally spelt is likely to become an important part of our diet in the future. Get down there and give it a try but it does sell out quickly.

Hope to return again one day soon!

As you enter the market you will be greeted by the same smell of fresh fish that has filled my childhood memories of this place. Once you've passed the fresh fish it may be fresh donuts, fresh fruit, not so fresh books or even freshly baked bread you smell. The latter will be coming from The Bread Stall. It can be found on the lower level of the market and it's a busy little stall. It's got bread of all varieties freshly delivered that day, as well as loads of cakes and other baked treats. If you're unfamiliar with Welsh cakes then it's crucial that you go right now to buy one for a mere 40p from The Bread Stall. If it's night time then perhaps that is slightly unreasonable and I will allow you to wait until the morning.

As such I really appreciate good fresh bread, and how different it tastes from cheap supermarket sliced cardboard. This bread stall does not sell the best bread I have ever baked or tasted but it does sell nice, fresh, cheap-enough mostly white rolls. Lots of them. They sell white Petit Pans, Soft Baps and Finger Rolls at about 25 pence each. They also sell large and small cracked wheat (brown) rolls, crunchy French Sticks and ready-sliced tin loaves. It being a market in Wales, you can also buy Welsh Cakes (picau ar y maen, pice bach, cacen gri or teisen radell) here by the truckload. Indulge and wolf down with tea.

Wow! We learned about The Baker's Table on a Talgarth Mill brochure left at our AirBnB in Penderyn,…read moreon the other side of Brecon Beacons park... We were heading back to London the next day, and at first thought "too bad this isn't on our way home," but the next morning decided we wanted to see more of the park anyway, as well as a few other points north before our weeklong adventure adjourned... What a pleasure it was to stop here on that dreary morning! When we arrived around 10:30am, the whole place was bustling with what turned out to be a tour group of retirees, about to tour the historic adjacent mill. The setup is counter service style: order your items, take your number and choose a table (indoors or outdoors). Most of the indoor tables overlook the brook running through the mill; the outdoor tables are in the courtyard of the mill buildings. They don't have a true breakfast, per se, but they have teas, coffee/espresso drinks, breads, cakes and cookies available all day, most of which are made using grains locally harvested and milled right there. There are some gluten free options available as well. At 11:30, their lunch menu is available and features sandwiches, soup and salads, all made from locally sourced, processed and grown Welsh foods. We were still finishing up our morning coffee, enjoying the chill vibe of the place (especially after the tour group moved on - haha!) by the time lunch was available, so we decided to stick around a little longer and try it out too! After much deliberation about how to best sample their offerings (everything sounded AMAZING), we opted for a soup/sandwich combo with the ham, cheese & mustard sandwich and fresh garden pea and mint soup, along with a "board" that included salad, two cheeses, local ham, an apple, fresh cherry tomatoes, house chutney and fresh bread. So simple, but so delicious!! We ate it ALL... I can't recommend enough the sheer quality of this real, simple but delicious local food. Other items to note: Credit cards require a £10 minimum charge. Locally made gifts and gourmet food items are available for purchase. Restroom entrance is in the courtyard, but there are public toilets in the adjacent building, facing the street as well. Free Wi-Fi. Check out the Talgarth Mill Craft Shop next door if you are looking for locally made Welsh treasures to take home. Free parking (and recycling drop-off) is available a couple of short blocks away, just off the highway. The Talgarth visitor's centre across the street is there for all kinds of information about the area, or, if you'd just like to converse with the friendly locals.

Loads of different types of loaves, scrummy rolls, delicious pastries (sweet AND savoury!) and delicious cakes, all at a price that puts Tesco to absolute shame. This is possibly the best thing I've discovered in Cardiff - it's a pretty poorly-kept secret. If you like your bread, you'd better incorporate this place into your routine. The only problem is.... you won't be able to go back to dry, tasteless supermarket or packaged bread, even in an emergency.....

The Baker's Dozen is a really large bakery on Splott Road, and like so many of the businesses in…read morethis area, it has been around a long time, (over twenty years). It started its life at the indoor market, where they still have a stall to this day, before branching out to a shop on the bridge, a little further up the road, and then ultimately taking up residence at No. 17. The business was started by John Griffiths, who also owns fisheries in Monmouthshire, but was bought out by Mike Morris some years ago. Mike had worked at the bakery for many years and had proved himself to be of the right calibre to take on the business. Not only was he more than capable of taking on the logistical and administrative elements of the bakery, he was also committed to maintaining the high standards that formed the basis of the reputation that The Baker's Dozen had earned itself. This meant continuing to buy the best quality ingredients, producing high quality food at incredibly affordable prices and offering the customer really high standards of service, a winning combination since its inception. The Baker's Dozen sells all of the usually baked items including Clarks pies and pasties, and also offers freshly made sandwiches and homemade meals at lunchtime. Large joints of meat wait to be sliced in the display counters alongside the specials of the day. Chicken curry with a large portion of chips will only set you back a mere £2.40 and a minced beef and onion pie and chips costs £1.60. Hot Dogs and burgers cost £1.20. This is incredible value!

I could…read moredescribe the exterior for you, to make it easier to find, but really, it's the only large bakery on Splott Road and chances are you're going to find it by smell alone so any directions I give you are going to be pretty much superfluous. Understand that when I say large, I don't mean bigger than the average Greggs. I mean lower-floor-of-a-three-bedroom-house-converted-into-a-Willy-Wonka-esque-boutique-of-sensory-delights large. The place is massive, with a long display counter containing a positively decadent amount of delicious pastry treats to assault the eyes, nose and eventually the tastebuds. Now, I have a problem when confronted with a new place of this magnitude; I never, ever know what to choose. Everything looks so good anyone faced with the realisation that they can only have one is instantly hit by an existential crisis. Luckily, I went with a group of about 15 people during a lunch break, so we were able to try most things in the shop. I can recommend sandwiches, which we bought a huge amount of and of which I sampled pretty much all of them (much to my cast-mate's annoyance). I can recommend the doughnuts, which were lovely and soft; almost gooey, which is always a good thing and, finally, I can recommend the chicken curry and chips. Not normal fare for a bakery, but ohhhh so good.
