Fancy Bakery & Coffee Shop — Restaurant in England

I can't count how many times I've been here. My parents go here at least once a week and we go as a family whenever I'm back.

It's a joy to eat anything that is made with love and passion. You can really tell the owners of Fancy bakery have a passion for baking and food.

Their cakes are delicious, they always source seasonal local produce which means that there's always something new to try. (e.g. Rhubarb cake and crumble where the rhubarb was organic and sourced in Bedfordshire when in season). The owners and all the staff they have are delightful and friendly to all customers.

The person who grows the rhubarb is celiac so Fancy bakery made gluten-free rhubarb muffins to ensure they could enjoy some of the products made with their harvest. Hearing stories like that whilst enjoying the gluten-free Rhubarb muffin goes to show the genuine community feel that comes with this place. It's rare and I love to see it!

Their toasted sandwiches are surprisingly filling with of course, sourdough bread baked in house. Everything is made from quality ingredients and you can really taste that in the produce.

I couldn't recommend this place enough, if I lived locally I would be buying my bread from them...

On paper, this cafe sounds like a dream come true. We decided to go check it out. The place is a little dark which gives it a weird atmosphere. Like you're at your relatives, you know the ones that you see every now and then, thinking you like them but in fact you just wanna get out and leave. It felt like that. The service was not very welcoming and just a tad cold, maybe we caught the place on a bad day, don't know. We won't come back sadly. The cakes are really nice, so if you want to try and get some cake to take out or even order some cake for a party, I would really...

Food was fine and the cakes are tasty but the service really lets the place down- unfriendly and unwelcoming- the owner does not like babies and definitely not prams! She complained about me using my pram and told me not to change my baby on the bathroom as it’s not baby friendly but offered no other space to change them. Made me feel uncomfortable and sadly won’t be going back or recommending others. Maybe you would have a different experience...
