Ashbourne Bakehouse in Derbyshire Dales

Lovely independent bakery. We had 2 sandwiches to take away. They were very good. Ciabatta and top quality fillings for a very reasonable price. The sausage roll was amazing. Friendly service. Will definitely return when in the area again.

Nothing ever much trouble for Becky great range of bread and rolls

Wonderful bread and a lovely warm welcome too!

Dropped by at a lunchtime and there was next to no stock or choice.

Fantastic loaf and amazing pasties. I'll be back!

Enjoyed the bakewell pudding. Well worth the visit.

Amazing pastries and friendly service, will definitely be coming again!

Amazing pastries and friendly service, will definitely be coming again!

Great produce, lovely friendly staff, everything I want from my local bakery in fact.

Superb Bakery! I’m never disappointed when I visit the Bakehouse. They have a great range of sourdough breads and some fantastic cakes, sausage rolls and pastry’s! The staff are very friendly and welcoming. A special shout-out to the woman who served me today, thank you!

Welcomed by friendly staff & good choice of bread & cakes. Chose the cinnamon buns which were amazing. Shame they're not currently offering seating, so will be sure to be back soon.

Orange and pistachio cake and carrot cake purchased today. Both very dry. Walnut and soda sourdough also over baked. Very disappointed

Hands down, best flat white in Ashbourne. Great customer service as well as top quality cakes and bakes.

Wonderful bakery. Lovely owner; equally lovely and helpful son. Good coffee. Fresh bakes and sandwiches made to order. 5 ⭐️

Excellent food, the staff literally go out their way to help and serve you and will make you any type of bread or bake what you want just let their expert bakers know!

Delicious cinnamon bun, will be back again for another!

Excellent bakes. You are not allowed into the bakery currently, however the staff do a brilliant job of telling what's available and describing the options. We had a cranberry and pistachio slice, a cinnamon roll and a focaccia bread. We were really happy with all three and will hopefully be making another visit this week. They also sell local jams and chutneys, we have bought some but not tried them yet.

I can only speak for the cakes and pastries, but they were superb to the last. The peanut butter choc sandwich things were just phenomenal. A massive hut with my wife and kids too.

Great sourdough bakery and cafe. Huge selection of loaves given the size of the bakery. A slicing machine would be nice though.

Amazing selection, everything I tried was really tasty can't wait to come back

Fabulous bread, try the pate too!

Courgette focacia was absolutely delicious. Wonderful bread selection. Highly recommend.

Almond croissant was delicious. Also the apple and cinnamon preserve. Lovely friendly service. Will definitely call again when next passing through.

One of the best bakeries we have every visited. Visited today for picnic items and what a picnic it was! The most chewy delicious bread, flaky cheese straws and cakes to die for.. if only we lived closer!!! Eat here!!!!

2 x scone/ rock cakes as described . Very dry and in edible the birds enjoyed them . 2 x cobs . Very chewy and again dry . I didn't like the reception of having to shout from a doorway to the ladies and feeling like i had the plague as i was handed my goods . All with no one wearing masks and gloves to handle the items being handed to me . ?? Where was my protection that one of you could have the covid 19 germ and pass it to me on the bag . Will not be going back . I was really looking forward to fresh made bread and cakes but they where dry and really felt like 3 day old bread . Very unhappy at how I was made to feel today . Everyone else isn't treating people like this . Had better receptions from other shops in the area . This is only one not letting you go in . For the cost of 2 cobs and 2 cakes I could have gone and fetched from the supermarket for less . I was really looking forward to having home made fresh bread and cakes . Very disappointed

The bread, bagels and cakes are awesome. A real bakehouse. The staff are all genuinely happy and love their chosen passion. If you are in or near Ashbourne it is a must. Well worth it.

Excellent independent bakery. Friendly and with a great variety of breads and treats. A must if you're in or around Ashbourne (and no, I have nothing to do with the shop, I just love cakes and fresh bread :-) )

Just tried the Red Leicester sourdough, superb super tasty with a great texture, if you like bread and feel like a treat then this is for you. Don’t be put of by the price, it really is worth it Wishing you success in the National completion 👍

Whenever we're in Ashbourne we pay a visit and buy some superb bread (walnut is fabulous) and dog biscuits. Stayed for some soup today for lunch. A real gem!

I contacted Ashbourne bakehouse about providing something for my bridesmaids & I to eat on my wedding morning. I needed something I could take away and enjoy with the girls. I didn’t expect what we got: truly, truly delicious food that was a memorable part of the day!!! The bagels were fantastic (we had several types and all had rave reviews) the croissants were gorgeous too. Thanks so much Ashbourne Bakehouse- I will certainly be back!!

Top quality pastries and bread. Beautiful texture and flavour. Very friendly and helpful staff

Lovely selection of fresh bread. Friendly and knowledgable staff as well. Take note - Closed Mondays Small seating area outside. It’s a take away business so that’s a plus rather than a negative in my book. Ample parking on the market place car park adjacent. Well worth a visit.

I love this little place, the owner is so friendly and helpful and the bread is just DELICIOUS! I’m eating one of their smoked salmon sandwiches right now and it’s just sooo good I had to write a review.

Really tasty coffee and pastries.

Popped in whilst camping, for a bacon sarnie. Wow, delicious breads. I was overwhelmed and just got sour dough, but blimey was it good. I've never seen my kids so quiet, well except for the yummy's and mmmmm's. Had to get some to take back to the campsite. I wish we were here longer so I could have everything on the menu. Really friendly too, hope they make a bomb because they deserve to.

Went there for a quick bite to eat before my walk to the stepping stones. Lovely, family run business with great, fresh bakery goods. very yummy.

Great selection of breads at which you can have every choice of sandwich from you can imagine.slightly pricey But the quality of food makes up for it.

First time I've been in this bakery , travelled there from Birmingham. The bread is Bostin our Kid .

People come from miles around to buy bread from this shop! There a good reason, because it’s worth it! They use a sourdough starter for the bread, so only sea salt and no sugar is added. The bread is made with assorted flavours and some are quite inventive. All are delicious. I’ve tried everything they make. Seedy whole meal being a favourite. Ciabattas, focaccia, brioche! Mouthwatering. I have been getting my bread there since it opened.

Good food all home made worth a try for

Had the lunchtime munchies on our visit to Ashbourne today. Always looking to find the gems and found one here at the Bakehouse. I decided on a mini baguette cheese and onion which I have to say the filling was a delight not just a bland slab of cheddar but a creamy cheese with diced mmm Spanish onion. But the bread oh the bread obviously created by a passionate crafts person. Tasteful crust with moist airy dough I'm going for. The Master Baker advised me of the magic ingredients of 3 types of flour I'm sure blended with pixie dust. In a world of bland homegenized cheap tasteless cardboard offered to us these days my lunch today was from bread heaven. My wife advised me her bagel salmon and cream cheese was a off the chart taste sensation. Be advised the Bakehouse is the place for your luncheon requirements when in Ashbourne. Thank you lady from the land of the PCH for your tasty fayre.

If you are a visitor to Ashbourne and have never tried the Bakehouse, I would urge you to go and try some of Lisa's excellent breads and pastries. There are always plenty of samples of bread to try with good olive oil and balsamic vinegars available for dipping. My favourites are the bagel, cream cheese and smoked salmon sandwich accompanied by a cup of some of the Bakehouse's excellent coffee; an almond croissant to follow with another cup of coffee; cheese straws and a summer fruits Danish to take home with a loaf of one of one the excellent sourdough breads. For my wife, Lisa will prepare one her small tomato and onion foccacias; truly delicious. Just to make sure what I want is available, I 'phone in a basic order first thing. For me, bread does not get better than this.

Lisa promised that she would bring back bagels and she is lady of her word. On Thursdays and Fridays a variety of bagels is available either to take home or to have with a filling. For me, my Thursday morning treat is to have a delicious poppy seed bagel sandwich filled with cream cheese and smoked salmon - other fillings are available - accompanied by a good cup of the Bakehouse black coffee. And to take home? A couple of almond croissants, a Danish pastry, a spelt loaf or perhaps a Country Boule. The choices are many and all of them excellent for Lisa provides the real taste of proper bread.

Best bread and pastrys .large selection,very helpfull will allow you to try before purchasing must try jalapeno bread 😋

Everything I have ever bought from here has tasted lovely. I love the fact that everything is fresh & made on premises & there’s always new varieties of bread. The sourdough mix used is great for the stomach. Cinnamon buns are the best, please never ever stop making them. All staff are friendly, helpful & chatty.

Great location in the market square,couple of tables outside in which to sit and enjoy a coffee and people watch.Artisan breads and divine cakes and pastries, a must if you visit Ashbourne .

Absolutely tiny shop but packed full of goods, kids had cakes. Not too bad prices - not enough selection for veganites

A shame it was full and only the high seats free. That wouldn't have been a problem had it not been for the fact that there was a dog roaming around, not under control and would not leave our dog alone. Our dog was on a lead. We did not stay because of this.

Very good place to grab a snack or your daily bread. The peanut butter cookies are to die for.

Brilliant selection and very reasonably priced. Took some lovely pastries away and they were delicious - wish we had bought more!

Amazing sourdough bread and lovely staff. We got a great recommendation for a picnic spot, to make the most of some rolls we'd bought. Fantastic.

This place sells the most gorgeous home-made bread, cakes, sausage rolls, etc. It's a tiny little shop inside, but their food is fabulous and their flavoured oils are awesome. I wish we had eaten a bacon cob and coffee here on our way through (but instead fell foul of a cafe across the market place over the road). The coffee is obviously proper coffee and if the bakery products here are anything to go by then we will definitely buy our breakfast from here next time!

A beautiful little bakery which sells mainly sourdough breads, of a large variety and delicious looking cakes. The owner was very helpful and friendly and the bread was absolutely delicious! I think they offer a loyalty card for anyone who will be going regularly.

The best bread in the area. A little bit pricey but it's worth it

There are several places that serve good coffee in Ashbourne but only two that serve great coffee and Ashbourne Bakehouse is one of them. Furthermore, the bread and pastries offered reflect not only a wide choice but also excellent quality. As if that was not reason enough to visit there is also a variety of breads to taste, freshly made sandwiches and coffee to take away and a fine selection of condiments. Excellent food, great coffee and a delightful atmosphere, especially for those who have time to stop and chat. Lisa and her team have got it right. And one last mention; Lisa baked the the best bagels in Derbyshire, maybe the best in the Midlands, possibly even the best in the UK. I am looking forward to her baking them again next Spring. Bagel with cream cheese and smoked salmon(other fillings available) and a cup of freshly made, slow filtered coffee: heaven.

Having seen previous reviews about the Bakehouse, we decided to stop on our way through Ashbourne. We ordered coffee and a bacon sandwich. We sat outside in the sunshine with the very good sandwich made with nice back bacon and the bread was "to die for". For our personal taste, we would have liked the coffee a little stronger. By the way, all of the breads looked delicious!

Needed a light meal mid afternoon. Bird's Bakery did the job with ham egg and chips. Served pots of tea and a sausage roll as an offer for £2.60. Well served and hot.

A year ago this person opened a bakery and we have been eating her bread ever since. All her baked goods are so tasty and good for you. She makes sourdough bread with only flour water and sea salt. No sugar in her breads. She adds lots of different flavours to her loaves like cheese, onion, olives, herbs and seeds. Plus all manner of other flavours. I never know what to buy, in fact I’m always in danger of buying too much! Her morning goods are absolutely scrummy. Her brioche are like fluffy clouds. I hope she carries on forever!

Called in for pies, after seeing them in the window and we weren’t disappointed. Expensive but tasty. The cakes and bread were also of very high quality. Lovely little shop...wish it was closer to home!

...Nothing. this place is amazing. Looking for a little place to rest, sit down, have a drink and a piece if cake. WOW! The summer berry cheesecake pastry was the best cake of the week (according to my wife...i wasnt offered to try it). I went for the seven slice cake...this too was amazing! Coffee was tasty, a dog bowl outside and option of dog biscuits and treats. Our little puppy loved it here too! Staff friendly and welcoming and to top off a great experience it was sooo cheap especially for what we got and how tasty it was.

This is the bread shop that you wished was in your town or village.Very wide range of delicious bread,rolls,baguettes and focaccia.Croissant are delicious,particularly the almond ones.Few tables on the pavement and they do take away too.Very friendly staff.

Fantastic bread and pies. Owner very kind. Recommended. Will definately return when I am next in the area

Just fancied some pie and hey presto there was an emporium that could satisfy all tastes. A real local shop, not just for local people but for all comers.

I just love bread. This place sells a large selection of bread ,as other perople have said not the cheapest,just the best,if you’ve never been you should

Really lovely bread. Lots of variety (if you are there early enough) Not the cheapest place but you get what you pay for! Particularly enjoy a coffee and bacon sandwich from them. Sat outside the shop watching the world go by.

Lovely bacon rolls eaten here this morning followed by nice coffees. They were lattes of sorts - we had wanted cappuccino but they didn't have them.

Really not nice using you're fingers to pick food up

Bread selection here is great, I love sourdough. Apricot pastry and aromatic coffee is a nice start in a morning or afternoon pick me up :-) The design of this small artisan bakery is a true asset to Ashbourne, small historic market town.

Wonderful choice of bread and other goodies to keep you going. Warm and friendly greeting from the staff who are very knowledgable about their products.

Delicious sour dough ...lots if choice and very helpful owner. Finding decent bread can be difficult so this is a gem of a shop...I buy several and freeze so I don’t run out!

My dear friend Lisa, opened her amazing Bakehouse over a year ago now, in our lovely market town, Ashbourne. We are so lucky to have such a gem in our lovely town, ant it really is quite unique!, scrumptious savouries, focaccia, Italian style pizzas, savoury swirls just to name a few. Amazing soups to warm you up on a cold day as you explore the sites of our town and lovely Peak District. Even our Westie, Skye loves Lisa and her shop, as he says she makes the best dog biscuits!! I should be reluctant to write anything on this site as I think us locals want to keep it quiet so there is more to go around for us!,,

It's a real treat to visit this bakery. They make the most delicious breads & pastries. Can't beat their focaccia & cinnamon rolls. Also worth popping in for homemade soup at lunchtime. Can't recommend this place highly enough if you're looking for a break from humdrum supermarket bread or for something special.

Fabulous variety of bread, I'm spoilt for choice every time I go in, it's heaven!! Jalapeño & Jack is my favourite but sultana & walnut is a very close second!

Ashbourne bakehouse sell wonderful tasty breads and baked goods, staff are always friendly and helpful. Worth a visit.

An excellent range of Breads and cakes with traditional and unusual seasonal options, also serve excellent soup at lunchtime.

What a little gem of a shop this is. The breads are to die for, as are pretty much everything she bakes. We bought a pasty, sausage roll, cookies, loaf of spelt, dog biscuit all of which were absolutely gorgeous.

Excellent range all made at the bakehouse. Enjoyed our focaccias, Bakewell pastries & drinks at lunchtime sitting outside in the sun. Great to chat to the owner too.

If you are trying to cut back on how much bread you consume, step away from this place which is a carboholic dream come true. Bagels. Brioche rolls. Ciabatta. Danish. Peanut butter cookies. Loaves. Need I say more?

We dropped by to grab some dinner. There's plenty of choice and everything seems homemade. It was all very tasty and the staff were friendly.

Brilliant and absoulety loving staff. Amazing stuff even homemade dog treats.

Such a nice gem, women was fantastic too. Had an amazing bacon and herb focaccia that was surprisingly affordable! Deffo recommend.

I bought a loaf of bread here for dinner and ate half the loaf before i even got home. They have a great variety of breads, sweets and some wonderful dipping sauces.

We bought some lovely focaccia from here which formed the basis of a nice picnic in the park. All bread freshly baked and delicious.

Would recommend this bakery for good old-fashioned style bread and pasties. I noticed also that they have their own 'dog treats' :-)

We were self catering for 14 people at Casterne House and ordered the bread from the Bakehouse.

The Bakehouse sell delicious products, I personally love their sourdough baguettes, but breads and sweet produce of a very wide variety are also very yummy :) The place looks lovely, one can even stop and have a danish on the spot with a good (and free!) cup of coffee, though it's is not the most spacious. I love the smell of freshly baked bread and the Bakehouse is always filled with it. Great staff, well informed in the produce sold. Very much recommended!

We are locals and have visited this bakery quite a few time since it opened a couple of months ago. The first thing to say is that it's listed here as a restaurant, but it isn't. What it is, is a fabulous little bakery where you can get all sorts of beautiful bread, focaccia, ciabatta, bagels and baguettes not to mention all the fabulous cakes and pastries. There's always something different every time we go in. You can get all sorts of tasty things to fill a picnic basket (soup or filled cobs or bagels and sausage rolls) or get something to enjoy at home. We will be visiting regularly and would encourage other locals to support this great independent high street business - and visitors will love it I'm sure. Great shop!

They were really friendly and they sell delicious gluten free options like carrot cake and biscuits! :)

Great tasting baked goods! Nice gluten free selection 😄 highly recommended!

Wonderful shop, friendly staff, the sour bread is lovely, The focaccia is really nice.. home made soup of the day lovely different choices.. and the Almond croissant... yummy x

So much choice. Really good Artisan bread. The ingredients of each loaf is explained clearly on a blackboard. The lady who served us was very knowledgeable and happy to recommend.

What a wonderful addition to Ashbourne! This bakery specializes in handmade breads, pastries, bagels and so much more. The soup was outstanding, served with a house made breadstick. The focaccia is unlike anything I have tried before, light and flavorful, a meal in itself! The gluten free options are wonderful as well, and just as tasty as the non gluten free. I admire their commitment to make hand making bread the old fashion way, without electric mixers, and slow fermentation. The flavor and quality is stunning!
