Pink Lane Bakery — Restaurant in Newcastle upon Tyne

This is the star of Acorn Road. Particularly a dream for anyone with a sweet tooth. The millionaire slice, chocolate & banana bread, carrot cake…wow, just wow! As far as cakes go, I just don’t think it gets better than this. My tastebuds vividly and fondly remember a jalapeño cheese pretzel which was incredible as well, I think they might’ve been a one-off though. The three cheese & onion toastie was decent. I didn’t really enjoy the coffee, I’m clearly in the minority, and glad to be. Nothing to do with the quality, just wasn’t to my taste. This doesn’t impact my overall rating as everything else is SO good. Never had any of the loafs but they look and smell delicious. Everything tastes fresh, and can tell that they’ve been made with quality ingredients and care. Plenty of choice, almost too much choice, it’s so hard to decide as they all look yummy. Reasonably priced, two words that rarely get used nowadays. Lots of places charging substantially more for substantially less. Friendly staff and reliable service. The queues from open to close really say it all. It’s somewhat of a tradition now every time my relatives visit, the trip isn’t complete without getting some goodies here the morning after, just before...

Incredible sourdough but most of all incredible staff. My son has a disability and has trouble regulating, and the one waiter who was cleaning the other tables, came straight over to take our order as quick as he could and came back promptly with a croissant, all the while engaging with my son in a wonderfully playful way! Made me feel so relaxed to know no one was judging us, a brilliantly comfortable environment. I would say however, you need to get a more accessible changing table because my son barely fit on the baby one in the bathroom and no one should have to lie on the bathroom floor...

Today I visited Newcastle from Yorkshire and went to West Jesmond which is one of my favourite neighbourhoods in Newcastle. I cane across Pink Lane Bakery and when I ordered was informed that they had ran out of Pain au Chocolat which I must say I was a little disappointed but brought a delicious croissant instead :) Then just afterwards a girl came to my table and told me that she overestimated how many would be needed and gave me a Pain au Chocolat free of charge. Thank you go the girl that did this, you...
