UGLY BREAD BAKERY REVIEWS

Cosy bakery. Visited in the morning had no idea what I was ordering as it wasn't completely clear what the selection was - but they all looked great so I picked one with brie and some kind of salami. It was toasted in the large oven behind the counter and within a couple of minutes I had a really delicious fresh hot sandwich. Staff were super polite and friendly and the whole place had a great vibe. Must say, I didn't really care about not knowing what I'd ordered - but if I ever return I won't be able to order the same ... That being said,I'd be happy to try any of their sandwiches.

A truly independent business that brings you quality food at really affordable prices. The bread quality is outstanding with fresh ingredients. It serves all type of dietary requirements. The staff were very friendly and informative. If you look for a breakfast or lunch spot, this is certainly my recommendation.

Such a good experience! the staff was so nice he is like young and black hair and piercing he was so nice with me the mezaluna was delicious, i’m definitely coming back the music was good cozy place and lovely staffs the coffee was so good!

MUFFIN BREAK REVIEWS

I had my lunch here today, I was walking by and noticed all the lovely presented bagels, sandwiches and cakes! I went for a bacon, egg and cheese bagel with a mocha. The waiting time was minimal to have my order taken to then receiving my food. The staff were really pleasant and and polite, and worked well together. I've found my new favourite lunch spot!

Super impressed! We had no idea where to go for breakfast, so we stopped here and ordered 2 classic breakfasts with scrabbled eggs + 2 chocolate and peanutbutter shakes .. and we took home an amazing selection of cake slices!! Breakfast was super nice, service was incredible! I recommend to everyone!

I had an oat latte and cheese scone. Both were excellent. The scone was particularly fresh look a young staff well trained. I had a walking stick and the young man offered to bring my food and drink to the table, great service.

TOUGH MARY'S BAKEHOUSE REVIEWS

The best bakery in Nottingham without a doubt! The baked goods here are unmatched, so so fresh and taste delicious. As a gym goer this is the ONLY place that Im tempted by.. mostly because of how delicious they taste and the fresh ingredients used! The coffee btw genuinely best Ive tasted and Ive tasted a few! Also let me finish by saying the staff are so friendly and welcoming. The lady at the back sees me and always welcomes me with a smile and has my scone ready before Ive even hit checkout! Thank you guys for the best experiences every time I visit.

This was my first trip and I bought a dulce de leche rice pudding filled doughnut and a cheese scone. The scone was soft on the inside and hard on the outside even after keeping it in the fridge overnight. The doughnut filling was delicious and not overly sweet. The lady serving me was friendly and made me feel welcomed. Definitely coming back for the sandwiches!

Really nice place and the sandwiches were delicious. The bread tasted really fresh, crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. They also have vegan options. Would definitely recommend!
