Amazing Pies, Pasties, and Desserts!
- Amazing pies, pasties, and desserts! Food: 5/5 | Service: 4/5 | Atmosphere: 3/5. More
High Quality Sandwiches
- We just ordered two best hot sandwiches. They were beautiful, we asked if they could cook the bacon so that it was crispy (loads of place's get this wrong) They cooked them perfectly. We couldn't fault them. Top quality bread buns, Sassages, bacon and egg's! Thank you.
Friendly and Efficient Service
- A long established and very popular traditional bakery. If you get there early in the morning, you're greeted by the delicious smell of fresh baked bread. I've always received friendly service. Prices are reasonable for the area.
Traditional Bakery
- Harrogate institution on Cold Bath Road now over 110 years old Lancasters is a great place to drop by early in the morning. Sells everything from the classics (pies, sausage rolls, vanilla slices) to group orders (sandwiches) and seasonal specials (mince pies at Christmas for 75p). Our family have been coming here since the 1930s.
Best Sausage Sandwich
- Best sausage sandwich i had ever had and also a nice cherry slice
Lovely Experience
- Lovely friendly staff, fresh and delicious treats and very reasonably priced too. Been using this bakery on the school run for the last few years, and it's always a lovely experience. They do the best breakfast baps around too!
Poor Customer Service
- Poor experience. arrived at 11.01am exactly to be told that hot sandwiches were only available until 11am and there was no possibility of making a bacon sandwich. a shabby approach to customer service which has more in common with nationalized utility companies. avoid
Good Bakery, Poor Presentation
- Good bakery spoiled by poor customer service and old fashioned presentation. It's also a tiny (outside) cafe/takeaway: no cooked food. Parking is problematic. Fresh bread isn't the best: try the co-op instead.
Short Notice Birthday Cake
- Requested a birthday cake on short notice. Cake was lovely. Also bought coronation chicken on day of collecting cake. Best coronation chicken ever. Will be popping in regularly to grab my fav lunch.
Love Their Bread and Cream Cakes
- Love their bread and cream cakes but many times sold out when I get there! Therefore, better to ring and order whatever you need well in advance!
Excellent Bakery
- An excellent bakery for bread and cakes. Also tea, coffee sandwiches pies etc. The staff are friendly and helpfull and their home cooked ham is to die for.
Traditional British Bakery
- This is the traditional bakery that I would go to with my mother in the early 1970s for our weekly bread and it is still going strong and doing a great job. They have good croissants made daily and the full range off traditional and modern British bakery. Hot food, sandwiches and coffee round out the selection. Staff have always been excellent friendly and helpful to me.
Fantastic, Fresh Products
- Very friendly staff and fantastic, fresh products. I'm always bummed when someone was quicker and there are no sweet chilli pork pies left, but I guess folks just know what's good. Would highly recommend, always happy to buy here!
Good Selection of Hot Savoury Snacks
- Good selection of hot savoury snacks at reasonable prices. I recommend in particular the sausage rolls. Staff always very helpful and pleasant
Livid Over Poor Quality
- Wouldn't even get a star if I had the choice absolutely livid one piece of meat in a steak pie about 6 peas and a slice of carrot in a Cornish won't be coming again
Great Location
- Great location, a block away from Valley Gardens children's playground, awesome baked goods and yummy lunch options.
