Bread Ahead Bakery Wembley in Brent

The vanilla custard doughnut was pure heaven! Soft, fluffy, and just the right amount of sweetness. Definitely coming back.

Closed at 6pm!! And it should be open until 8pm And the staff is there just the door is closed

Closed when it says they should be open.

One of our locals, and we love the food, however we have always been let down by the service. Most of the staff are friendly except for who appears to be the manager/owner. It always takes way too long to be acknowledged and seated when arrived, and even longer to have your order taken. The staff always seem to be quite frazzled and stressed by the manager. Wish they created a better experience for their customers.

【Great food, but service experience needs attention】 I have been living nearby and visiting Bread Ahead Wembley regularly for over six months. This bakery has always been one of my favorites — not only because of the great food and bread, but also because of the consistently friendly and welcoming service, which always made my mornings better. However, this week, I encountered a staff member (white female with blonde hair tied in a ponytail, usually working at the indoor counter) whose service attitude was noticeably unfriendly on two separate occasions. Normally, every visit to Bread Ahead is a pleasant experience. But both recent interactions with this particular staff member felt cold, impatient, and dismissive. I understand that everyone can have a bad day, and this feedback is not meant to target any individual personally. However, given that good service has been a key part of Bread Ahead’s charm, I hope the management team can be aware of this and continue maintaining the high standard of hospitality that makes this place so special. Thank you for your attention, and I truly wish Bread Ahead continues to thrive.

I randomly stopped by and ended up leaving with a bag full of pastries! Everything looked (and tasted) amazing.

This place is a dream for bread lovers! Their sourdough is always fresh, and the crust has the perfect crunch. Can’t get enough!

Very enjoyable French toast with bacon and maple syrup

Honestly, everything here is top-notch. The bread, the pastries, the coffee—it’s all perfect. If you haven’t been yet, go now!

This bakery is located near Wembley, about a 15 mins walk from the underground station. They have plenty of seating and offers a comfortable atmosphere. They provide a variety of doughnuts, pastries and coffee. I tried the vanilla doughnut, chocolate doughnut, and a mocha. The doughnuts were delicious, with plenty of filling and just the right level of sweetness. Unfortunately, the mocha was quite average. Next time I visit, I’ll stick to just the doughnuts!

The most disgusting place you can ever go. So dirty, the tables are sticky and no one cares about the place. The food is great, but part of that nothing looks good.

Very good food, the best donuts and an amazing coffee.

What is happening with the baristas? I use to love the coffee and bakery section but it is so hit and miss for a few months now. Service is slow and what coffee you get is random. I recently ordered a Mocha, the representative shouted out Mocha and what I got was watered down hot chocolate. No coffee at all. Only realised when I was in the car. Once or twice I get it things happen but now it’s just not worth the risk. Staff making complaints about the rota when there is a clear queue building up. I don’t think people are being trained well at all. It’s a shame

Grabbed a quick cinnamon bun from the outside stand for the journey home. Both icing and bread tasted oddly like raw butter and not cinnamony at all. The icing also had black specks in it which at first I thought was vanilla mixed into the icing, on closer inspection it was pieces of dust/grit from being outside. Grimm....

Such a cozy spot with amazing food. The seasonal specials are always worth trying—never been disappointed!

Great selection of baked goods, and everything tastes homemade. The sausage rolls are flaky and full of flavor!

I could eat their chocolate-filled doughnuts every day. Perfect balance of sweetness and texture—just melts in your mouth!

double-check the prices before you pay! I bought a loaf of bread and the staff charged me double. This is the fourth time I’ve had to correct them on the price — absolutely fuming.

Best bakery in Wembley, no question! Their doughnuts are light, fluffy, and packed with delicious fillings.

Lovely little bakery with the best pastries! The coffee is great too—definitely my new favorite weekend spot.

I’m addicted to their olive focaccia! It’s so flavorful and fresh, perfect with a bit of cheese or just on its own.

Ophelia is brilliant, we bought 5 doughnuts, had fresh batch, she is a credit to BA

I’d like to leave a review for this place. The atmosphere is wonderful. A special mention to Ophelia — she was especially kind and attentive. I usually come here for the great coffee and delicious bread. The staff are always very friendly.

The staff are always so friendly, and the food is just as amazing. The pain au chocolat was buttery, crispy, and totally worth it.

Bread Ahead never disappoints! Everything is freshly baked, and you can taste the quality in every bite.

I've never been to the Bakery Shop before. or dine inside. while I was looking through the Map, i saw the Bakery Shop online.

Extremely slow service for a fastfood joint, despite place being nearly empty. Staff can’t seem to acknowledge clients waiting to be served. - Bread Ahead replying with a standard message to all complaints shows ignorance.

I keep coming back for their cinnamon buns—so soft, rich, and packed with flavor.

Fantastic bakery with high-quality ingredients. The bread stays fresh for days, and the focaccia is incredible!

I live in the area and often stop by for a coffee, as this is usually a lovely spot. Unfortunately, today’s experience was let down by a staff member who was quite rude. It’s disappointing when the service doesn’t match the quality of the place, as moments like this can really take away from the overall experience.

Excellent course of cheese making by Opindos, brilliant tutor, explained things very clearly

The atmosphere is super cozy and welcoming — perfect for catching up with friends or just enjoying some quality food. We tried their coffee and the grilled vegetable pizza, and both were absolutely amazing! The coffee was smooth and rich, and the pizza had the perfect balance of crispy sourdough crust, fresh veggies, and just the right amount of cheese. You can really taste the quality in every bite. The staff were really friendly and helpful too, which made the visit even better. It’s such a lovely spot with a great vibe, and we’ll definitely be coming back to try their famous doughnuts next time! Highly recommend if you’re in the area.

We went for breakfast, and the menu was varied. The portions were generous, and the quality of the coffee was appreciated.

Stopped by for a coffee and pastry, and both were perfect. The almond croissant was buttery and flaky!

My favourite bakery in Wembley! The doughnuts and pastries are absolutely superb. The French toast with bacon and maple syrup is a must-try; perfect combination of sweet and savory. Highly recommended!

If you haven’t tried their custard doughnuts, you’re missing out! So light and creamy—absolutely delicious.

The best sourdough in town! Always fresh and perfectly crusty. The staff are lovely too.

Amazing food and very spacious.

The grain bread is amazing. Good coffee too. Lovely.

The doughnuts are soft, fresh, and filled with the most delicious flavors. A must-visit!

Fresh, high-quality ingredients make all the difference. You can tell Bread Ahead puts a lot of love into what they do.

Coffee takes a long time, incredibly slow to come. They literally came when we almost finished our food.

Ophelia gave us personalised service and we felt valued as customers and on top of that the food was great

I was served and greeted by lady Googla Ophelia, what a wonderful lovely lady she is. She was so kind in talking and understanding what does I exactly want even after the different accent. I belive this place is amazing but what makes it more amazing are the staff. Food was delicious and hot, freshly backed Donuts were amazing and very light weighted.

great reasonably priced breakfast

Tried their seasonal specials, and they were absolutely delicious! Always something new and exciting on the menu.

Great place for breakfast. Tried the Bakers breakfast and it was really good. Next time I'm trying the Eggs Benedict, they look so good.

Really lovely food and staff but really people, pay some attention to the toilets. Absolutely filthy, no toilet rolls in most of the ladies, doors didn't lock and most of the taps broken but somehow still working.

This place is a gem! The doughnuts are unreal, and the staff is always super helpful and welcoming.

I’ve given Bread Ahead multiple chances, but the customer service is consistently terrible. Every time I go in to buy a pastry, the staff are rude and unapproachable. They make you feel unwelcome. Dealing with the miserable attitude of the staff ruins the whole experience.

A little slice of bakery heaven in Wembley! The service is friendly, and everything is baked to perfection.

Visited for breakfast, and it was fantastic! The pastries were fresh, and the cappuccino was perfectly made. Great way to start the day!

went for the first time today and received the loveliest service from Ophelia, who was kind enough to let us know about the discount service they offer for quintain residents (15%) and to sign up to their reward scheme for more bonuses! ended up getting a lovely focaccia for £4! Thank you to Ophelia for letting us know and we will definitely be returning as more regular customers!

Came here as a quick detour on my way to the London design outlet. Happy that the almond croissant was above average! Flat white was strong, but a bit of a smaller cup than usual. I'm curious about the sourdough pizza, so we'll definitely come here again when I'm in the area. The cafe itself is lovely (with lots of natural light) and a step away from Wembley Stadium.

Food is lovely. Great quality and fresh.

The place is very nice, right next to the stadium and the stand also looked inviting. But ATTENTION!!! Scan at the checkout, the water bottles cost 1 pound when purchased, as the cashier claimed. Deducted her 6 pounds! This is incredible!

Slow service, expensive for average food and drink.

Lovely bakery with a great selection of sweet and savory options. The pain au chocolat is divine, and their coffee is great too!

Bakery is premium but the coffee is ok

You can’t walk past this bakery without being tempted by the smell! Everything is freshly baked, and the taste is just as good as it looks.

Great concept, beautiful industrial style, great location. Great service and outstanding quality of the food. I'd love to come back 🥰❤️🇬🇧

Ophelia was very kind to us today. The pizza is just the best!

Great all day dining experience. Club sandwich and Pizza were perfect

Tried their baking workshop, and it was such a fun experience! Left with great tips and delicious bread to take home.

Amazing customer service and even better pastries! The staff are always welcoming, and the quality of the baked goods is worth every penny.

Great place to eat, food was amazing

Great variety of baked goods! The sourdough is top-notch, and the focaccia is packed with flavor. Always fresh and tasty.

Dirty cup, dirty milk container and egg shell on pancakes. The bacon was nice but poor cleanliness with the cup and milk and the eggshells sort of ruined it. If you can't crack an egg, don't be a cook.

The doughnuts here are hands down the best I’ve ever had! Perfectly filled and not overly sweet. Highly recommend!

The best mozzarella sandwich I’ve ever eaten 👍🏻😋 Donuts are very tasty and not very sugary. 🍳🍩☕️

Stopped by for a quick coffee and pastry—both were fantastic! The croissants are buttery and flaky, just how they should be.

Great service today by Ophelia. She was kind, attentive and it was nice to be greeted with warm and great energy. The sinner bun was delicious, I'll definitely be coming again!

Bread Ahead never disappoints! Amazing selection, friendly staff, and everything tastes fresh and delicious. Perfect spot for a sweet treat!

Pizza is amazing 5* , the lady on the till could have been a bit more frendly...

The best bakery in town! The quality of the bread and pastries is outstanding. Their doughnuts are a must-try—so light and fluffy!

Ophelia provided absolutely outstanding customer service! She went above and beyond to assist me today, ensuring everything was handled smoothly and efficiently. Her professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail truly made a difference. It’s rare to come across someone so dedicated and willing to go the extra mile. Thank you, Ophelia—your exceptional service did not go unnoticed! Highly recommend!

They’re too good to go bags are so good! Went there few times to get sandwiches and they’re absolutely delicious! Staffs are nice too! The doughnuts are super good!

If you love good bread and pastries, this is the place to go! Everything is made with care, and you can taste the quality. Highly recommend their custard doughnuts!

Tried Bread Ahead for the first time, and I’m obsessed! The doughnuts are soft, creamy, and full of flavor. Will definitely be coming back for more!

I live very close to Bread Ahead and I love going there for breakfast, bread and doughnuts! But today my attendant was Ophelia, who made my experience even more special! She was absolutely lovely to us and Boy (a gorgeous Border Collie). She told us about her Golden Retrievers at home and gave Boy so much love that he didn’t want to leave… So refreshing to meet people that are happy at their jobs. Thank you Ophelia 😍

Okay pizza, couldn't figure out how to connect a new container of beer to their facility 🤦🏼‍♂️

The restaurant was clearly understaffed, resulting in poor service speed and quality. 1. I ordered coffee and food, but even after an hour later and the food already became cold, the coffee hadn't arrived. The server only gave a perfunctory explanation. 2. I cannot understand why we were given wrinkled menus with stains.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Had to wait 25minutes for a coffee. Ridiculous service. Staff did not even care to apologise. Never coming back nor recommending it to anyone.

Absolutely love this place! The pastries are always fresh, and the doughnuts are next-level delicious. Friendly staff and a cozy atmosphere highly recommend!

Best bakery in Wembley! The sourdough bread is perfection, and the almond croissants are a must-try. Always a great experience here!

Had a pizza slice here before a gig in the past and it was nice . We were rushing to see a match yesterday and grabbed two pre made sandwiches and they tasted like they have been sitting there for three days! Hard bread, soggy vegetables, black avocado, bitter taste. Inedible! we were two far and didn't have time to take them back unfortunately but they shouldn't be selling these sandwiches. Lack of respect for customers wouldn't have thought they would sell stale sandwiches at bread ahead.

Went to Bread Ahead for the very first time on Saturday 22nd February for breakfast. What a great place it is, lovely atmosphere and great food. Very quick service and our server Mirella was very friendly and helpful. I totally recommend this place and will definitely go there again.

The Cuppuccino is blank, like as hot water. Never again.

It's a wonderful place with delicious pastries and incredibly helpful staff.

My family and I had a fantastic time at Bread Ahead! Not only was the food delicious, but more importantly our service from Rida, who was very kind and whom we had wonderful conversations with. She guided us to some of the best items on the menu. Thank you so much again for the amazing time Rida and everyone at Bread Ahead Wembley!

Best New York sandwich I ever had in my life. It was warm and very, very delicious.

If I could give this no stars I would but unfortunately I have to leave a rating to let you know how terrible this place has become. To start off with, as someone with customer service management experience, the service provided here completely ruins the brand and customer rapport. The staff are not friendly, nor helpful or even really knowledgable of the products they serve. Which is not only scary because of the lack of understanding but also worries me about further knowledge of allergens if they cannot even state what a product is. I think the products sold are great and the brand is innovative and fresh, however with these staff all of these qualities are diminished. I think re-training is desperately needed not only for your brand but also for the safety of customers. This should be a disappointment for the brand, a smile goes a very long way. We continue to come every week and hate every trip due to the staff you have working here. I do hope that retraining is done and changes are made so I don’t have to leave upset every week after being treated like the staff don’t want to be there and also don’t want any customers there. Again, I understand hospitality being stressful and annoying at times, what I don’t understand is making customers uncomfortable and unwelcome due to these feelings.

love everything! came to visit my son in wembley and want to find a lovely place to have a snack and coffee ,and now I am in love with this bread ahead !! such a big site! very helpful and friendly staff and I love the carot cake!!

Bought 2 croissant and 2 rolls £4.50 each and they did not taste fresh They were overcooked / burnt 2nd visit and I don’t think will be going back.

The food is amazing but the service is pathetic. This is the second time we have had a bad experience related to service.

The customer service is horrible and if you getting takeaway be careful they will charge you £0.30 for a paper bag, just ridiculous because the sandwiches are open no box or wrap provided. The most expensive paper bag that dosen’t even last before the handle breaks. Never again.

This is my favorite bakery and brunch spot in London. Every single dish I ordered was absolutely amazing, the flavours were incredible! I had the pleasure of being served Dimos, whose kindness and professionalism truly stood out 👏👏 The place is always busy, and for good reason. Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Very friendly place we visited on Saturday and we came again back today! Excellent food and very nice service! Saturdays are busy so you might need to wait although it’s worth! Delicious pizza and very nice homemade fresh lemonade!

Found by accident 😜 Lovely food, but a very limited menu, maybe because it was a Sunday afternoon.

The food was Unseasoned and took 50min for one piece of avocado toast , Not only to mention it took 20min to get sat down at a table.
