So I just moved to Leicester and I am very fortunate that The Tiny Bakery is in my neighbourhood! Everything I have gotten here has not disappointed. Their croissants are amazing, and have such interesting flavours! If you get a chance to try a pumpkin spice croissant, it’s a serious must! They’re stuffed with pumpkin filling that tastes exactly like pumpkin pie but leans a bit closer to a cream. They’re unreal. The cracked pepper croissant is also phenomenal, their vegan treats cannot be paralleled— so tasty (particularly the cherry, chocolate ganache croissant and some peanut butter dolly bar(?)) I feel like I could go on. I’m embarrassed to say I’ve only been here a week, and tried all of these treats but to be fair, everyday I’ve tried something different with my morning coffee/tea, because I’m excited to see what sounds good next!
If you’re looking for a fresh loaf of sourdough, they’re also worth the stop. The crust is perfect and the flavour is well balanced.
The bakery is run by wonderful staff who are very warm and inviting to the neighbourhood. This is made clear by the steady traffic, in and out of the bakery.

Read moreTiny Bakery produces some of the best tasting pastries here in Leicester. They’re open from 9-1, but it is normal for them to sell out of popular pastries 20 minutes after opening. This, on top of them stopping pre-orders, has been quite frustrating. I have discussed this with numerous other individuals who enjoy their pastries, and we all agree that it doesn’t make sense to not produce more pastries (particularly of those that sell out so quickly), and continue putting new ones in the display throughout the day.
The fact that there is little to no pastries left an hour, or even when arriving at 9:20, has not lead to us coming right when they open, but instead has lead us to not want to shop there at all. Individuals having to queue for almost half an hour on Saturdays, of which a few had already voiced their dissatisfaction for the lack of management and capacities, will in long term not lead to increased business but...
Read moreThe Tiny Bakery is the type of shop many will hope keeps baking for as long as they can.
Situated just on Clarendon Park Road and the junction with Queens Road, it has a great location for local residents and many others visiting this popular area.
Making some wonderful baked goods that have nice twists - such as the croissants with cheese I noticed - they often have people queueing outside with good reason.
On my visit they were near closing time and I was waiting to get a taxi home in the rain.
The oat cookie perhaps one the simplest things one can bake was melt, soft and delicious.
This is somewhere I will find myself coming back to and earlier in the day to try their bread especially.
Service was friendly of course in their, well , tiny space which maybe small but is wonderful. Very much worth...
