Breadmaker in Aberdeen City

I stopped in here while doing laundry nearby. The people working here were so incredibly kind! I got a delicious latte and toast with eggs. Everything is extremely fresh! Highly recommend!

They have a really nice lunch selection for either sit down or takeaway along with lots of great baked goods. I chose the brie and chorizo panini and a delicious potato soup! Couldn't fault. Roughly £6 for lunch meal deal.

We actually found this place on tripadvisor and we’re so glad we did. The food was really good and really reasonably priced. The staff were really friendly. A wonderful, chill, calm haven that we wouldn’t hesitate to go back to.

They cleared away my almost full coffee. The waitress wasn’t bothered and no apology. A pity as the food was really nice.

Welcoming and attentive staff, excellent menu, my daughter and I popped in for coffee and decided to also have cake . I had a standard latte with a strawberry tart, whilst my daughter chose matcha latte and a gluten free tart. The coffee was delicious as were the two sweet choices. We were very impressed with the cafe, it had a lovely atmosphere, was clean, tidy and well cared for. There were produce items on sale including local honey. We purchased gluten free bread to take home and have decided its the best gluten free bread we've tried. Will definitely visit again.

I popped in for a bite of lunch and welcomed in by one of the lovely members of staff (as part of their social enterprise). Got to choose my table which is nice as a solo visitor so sat in the window bar table. Quick service of lovely soup & sandwich with a large latte. Staff were so lovely, I could hear teaching going on as well with giggles.

Just had an absolutely lovely lunch here. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful, friendly or efficient. Going that extra mile to chase is with the wet socks out little girl had abandoned! The food was fresh and delicious. We are visiting Aberdeen but would definitely have picked up some bread to take home if not. The Christmas hampers also looked great! We’ll worth a visit!!

I had been staying at a hotel nearby on a room basis and I decided to have breakfast here a short walk away from the hotel in central Aberdeen. There was no traditional breakfast available here at this cafe but there were filled roll with bacon or wraps filled with Katy’s egg or a variety of scones,croissants or sourdough toast with butter and jam. Not really what I was hoping for on the traditional cooked breakfast front I opted for the bacon roll and a small cappuccino which cost just over £6 pounds sitting in. The roll was generously filled and the coffee was very good. I returned at lunch time for the soup and sandwich deal at just over a fiver and had tasty leek and potato soup with a Brie and Carrot and ginger chutney in a brown hoagie roll which was good. The ambience of the cafe is lovely and the waiting service lovely with a smile.

I’ve had breakfast on my way to work, lunch and cake. Today a friend delivered afternoon tea and it blew our minds and stomachs (in a good way) Fresh food served perfectly no matter which option I’ve had. Scones are light, cakes are scrumptious, sandwiches will fill you right up and soup will warm you through on a cold day (we get plenty cold days in Aberdeen). Staff are always happy to help with a smile on their face. Recommend popping in past for take away or sitting in (once we can again) you will be impressed

Was my first visit here back in March last year. Sweet Potato and Butternut Squash soup, with a Brie and caramelised Carrot panini. Really decent lunch and good price with the meal deal.

Such a great cafe. Food freshly made and lovely. Manager so helpful. Phoned in advance to ascertain if they’d let me bring a well behaved lab puppy. We sat in a corner (our choice) so not too bother folks. What a superb welcome and service. Thank you & Highly recommend.

Nice food. Rather empty. Pity as it's the only bakers in town that bakes bread that is better quality than the most expensive in the supermarkets Only complaint would be overcrowded with furniture.

Lovely soup and sandwiches they cater for Vegans which is good you can have soup, sandwich and even a nice cake at the end with your choice of tea or coffee. Went with friends and we all agreed this was a lovely eating place and staff very helpful. Have returned with another friend and we had a lovely experience again would recommend a visit

Great staff, great food and great prices. We were staying overnight in Aberdeen and popped in for breakfast the next morning. Crispy bacon on a pillow soft roll with just the right amount of chew in the crust for the husband and a delicious egg mayo roll for me. When the place we’d booked for lunch with the mother in law was unexpectedly closed, we returned for lunch. 2 soups and sandwich, one filled roll and three soft drinks for £17. All made fresh on the premises and absolutely delicious. Couldn’t resist buying a cheese damper to take home to end a properly carb laden food fest. Highly recommend - if you’re in the area it’s worth a detour for a great cause and fantastic food.

Lovely little place. Everyone had soup and finished with a wee cake! My Dad had quote “The best muffin in his life” while having the Bakewell muffin and I had a rich chocolate orange cheesecake, we totally recommend both! Definitely coming back as everything looked so good, and we couldn’t try it all!.

Our office have recently started using the Breadmaker for our corporate lunches, and everyone has been so impressed with the quality and variety of the food! Excellent sandwiches with something to suit all tastes, and both breads and fillings are so fresh; its obvious a lot of care and effort goes into each item. The cakes and sweet treats are also great and varied, and the fruit pots are fantastic; generous portions of fresh fruit in individual pots which is perfect for meetings. Everything is packaged neatly and arrives well presented. I've not visited the shop yet but going by the standard of the lunches delivered to our offices, I will certainly be paying a visit soon. I think its great that the Breadmaker provides opportunities for individuals with learning disabilities, and they are doing a fantastic job too!

Two flat whites, a cheese toasty and a tuna sandwich. The bread for my tuna sandwich was very good indeed and the filling quite substantial. The cheese toasty had plenty of filling too but I think we were perhaps overcharged - it seemed pricey for plain white bread and some cheese. Unfortunately our receipt didn’t show what we had actually ordered so I can’t be sure. Anyway, the food was good and the coffee sizes generous. We shall return.

Great place to visit for freshly baked bread, sandwiches, cakes and soup. On the 3 day visit to Aberdeen, I ate here on separate occasions. Tried the home made soup with a sandwich, followed by home made scone. Just great home cooked food, can't be...

I have passed this cafe many times & finally managed to go for lunch recently. My daughter & I were extremely disappointed as the food was less than average. Other reviews do not seem to reflect our experience. The bread on display looks fantastic, however,...

I have recently started to use this baker lately to get fresh bread, scones, and various items. I've never had cause to complain until now. I bought a fresh white sliced loaf last Saturday and this was the most doughy loaf I have ever tasted....

Visited for coffee and cakes. Coffee was average - tasted nice but very poorly executed. Messy and too foamy for a latte. I decided to buy a pack of scones to take away. One cheese, one cherry, two plain in the pack. How dissapointing...all tasted...

Randomly came across this lush cafe on this very website after recently moving to the area and fancying something different for lunch on the go. So glad I did! The soup and sandwich (I had a toasted sub) is very good value for money and...

Visited Aberdeen for a wedding and stumbled across this wonderful place. We had bacon and pancakes, scrambled eggs and bacon sarnies, all of which were fantastic. Great service and even better food. Would thoroughly recommend!

This is a great find. Just a couple of minutes walk from the library, The Breadmaker serves delicious sandwiches and hot paninis with bread freshly baked on the premises. The café is run by a charity who aims to provide training, educational and social activities...

Just love this cafe. Reasonably priced food, tastes lovely and staff so friendly. Highly recommend- fab!

This place is quite a find! It's part of a charity, so not only do you get great soup and sandwiches here, you're also helping a good cause.

There are few places where you can buy your bread cheaply and have a soup and snack for £5. Also fine coffee and a good off pitch location looking towards trees. If you want you can sit at the tables on the pavement.

Four friends and I decided to meet up for a coffee and sandwich,what better place to go to thathe ''Breadmaker'',beside the Denburn Health Centre and only 5/10 minute walk from Union Street.You can sit in or have a coffee outside,the fancy cakes are outstanding we...

Fantastic value for money. A great little bakery with wonderful scones, cakes and sandwiches. Good selection of fresh bread at very reasonable prices. Staff are very friendly and welcoming. The fact that it is a Social Enterprise just makes it even better. Cannot recommend highly...

Really love this place. Staff so helpful and friendly. Such a great vibe to the place. Food good and reasonable. Defo recommend.

Delicious range of fresh bread to buy. Fine pieces to eat inside or take away. Sandwiches using that same delicious bread. A social enterprise that gives people who might otherwise struggle to find a place in the world of work a chance. Oh and they...

Great social enterprise. Fab food, service good and just love the atmosphere and respectful values. Always clean.

Haven't visited for a number of years and it seemed a bit quiet but nice selection of breads, sandwiches, scones and cakes at very reasonable prices. My friend had the soup which came with a soft bread stick and also a slice of bread and...

The breadmaker offers a selection of hand made sandwiches to take out or eat in, plus a range of other options if eating in. The wholemeal bread is incredible - tuck a loaf into your bag to take home. Other options include rye bread, sourdough...

I went for lunch with a friend and the service was very good and the staff were friendly. We had the soup which was lovely. It was obvious in the time that we were there many people were regular customers as the staff greeted them...

I went in Saturday past with my 2 year old after staying round the corner at Skene House. The staff were cheerie and I ordered a bacon roll and a pancake with Jam/butter for the bairn and some water. The bacon had already been cooked...

We loved the homely feel of this place. We came here on day 1 of our visit to Aberdeen . We were tired, jet-lagged and very hungry. We'd had a very average dinner the night before. The staff here were so lovely, making us a...

Staff lovely and friendly. Baking high standard. Sandwiches are generous and filling. Worth a visit or a stop in if you are passing by.

Very much enjoyed lunch here using an It Is On deal. This definitely won't be our last visit! Really lovely freshly made bread and sandwiches, good range of tasty tray bakes and lovely coffee. It's great to see a social enterprise doing such a good...

This is the cutest place I have visited in a long time... Maybe it doesn't have the flashy outside, and perhaps it is a bit small, but definitely leaves a mark on you. One of the rare places where you get a cute smile with...

I have been to this bakery/cafe twice and each time I have been quite unimpressed with the limited choice of breads on offer. It may be a nice cafe, but I honestly prefer to buy bread in saintsburies as they have much more variety and...

I visit here regularly and it's one of my preferred options for meeting friends . It's just the right size and staff very friendly. They have a great choice of sandwiches,soups and cakes and give you a choice . I've found that if you ask...

Went here a couple of times now, bread is great and much better value than buying it at your local supermarket. Great sandwiches that are very cheap and lovely staff. Good place to go if you don't want to spend too much and support your...

Just spent a really great day on "The Bread Maker" bread making course. Over coffee and fresh pastries, Donald introduced the 5 "trainees" to Darren and Mathew the bakers and told us about the bakery and their charity and commitment to working with special needs...

Last weekend I popped in past Breadmaker with a friend whilst out Xmas shopping. What a great establishment a shop coffee and snack shop. Had pancakes baked in the shop and a coffee. All in all a very enjoyable experience...... wish I could say the...

Met some friends there, I had the last piece of the carrot cake, normally I wouldn't take it, but since it s a bakery I risked and...I lost. It was old. Service was excellent though and the prices very good.

We love this place. Great friendly staff, delicious food, reasonable prices and if you can get a seat in the window, a great place to watch the busy world go by while your chilling.

Popped in for lunch. Soup was lovely, bread was fab, my sons homemade sausage rolll was scrumptious however the real winner was the staff. Friendly, engaging( the cook came out and chatted to us). No hesitation to recommend this fabby establishment. Also it is a...

My wife wife and I had lunch here and we thought it was great. The soup and sandwiches were really good and the shop was very busy both with people eating in and also having takeaways - always a good sign. We also bought bread...

Second time i have been here and i want to support the business but both times it has fallen short. Bread and Cakes were both dry . The chicken coronation sandwich had 1 single small piece of chicken the rest was greens. I'm sure first...

The quality of all of the produce is next to none The staff are friendly and very helpful lovely shop

We were so glad we stopped in here for breakfast. The staff were very friendly and helpful, the cafe was spotless and clearly the staff are proud of their workplace.We enjoyed croissants for breakfast with delicious coffee. For a little morsel latter on, we purchased...

Thus place is fantastic, had a coronation chicken sandwich on a brown roll, my partner had a warm cheese & tuna melt, both were delicious! Had carrot cake and banoffee pie too, both were just gorgeous! Very reasonable price too. Much better than anywhere else...

This small, friendly cafe offers excellent fresh cakes, pastries, sandwiches and luncheon items like salads and quiches. I was staying nearby, and not being an early riser even when not jet-lagged, I often missed breakfast at my hotel, and walked down the road to Breadmaker...

I've been in here a couple of times recently when passing, and have always enjoyed my sandwich. I'm vegetarian and not really keen on eggs, so that just leaves one option on the menu for me although i had the sandwich of the day today...

I can only rate the bread selection they have, i haven't sat down for a coffee there. I was expecting soem good artisan bread, sourdough, rye bread etc... unfortunately they don't offer it. Some breads are good and all are in good price, but I...

I have been a regular visitor at breadmaker over the years. I think it's a fantastic place, with a very worthwhile purpose. This visit was using an itison voucher, a sandwich, traybake and drink for two people for £7 - an absolute bargain! My favourite...

What a super place, the food was fresh and there was lots of choice. We chose sandwiches which were actually large sub type buns, they were really fresh, well filled and totally delicious, they even came with extra salad on the side. We asked for...

Fresh bread, baking and products to take away also. Pleasant and helpful staff. There are some outdoor seats but interior is quite spacious with room between tables to allow private conversation.

I had a piece of carrot cake to take away. The cake was not fresh, it was hard and dry. Staff member could have mentionned it was not made on the day and I would choose something else. Very disappointing.

We have been wanting to eat here for a very long time since one of the staff with down syndrome waved at us when we walked past. It looks like a really nice and homely cafe also, its really great to see businesses like this...

Enjoyed lunch with a friend, we had only gone in to buy their specialist bread. Staff most helpful, bacon and Brie and cranberry melt, served with baby leaf salad. They offered to slice the bread I bought to take away. The Aberdeen rowies (morning rolls)...

I've been coming to the Breadmaker for months now for a Baguette and Soup of the day over lunch. Always freshly made with fresh produce. The best thing about Breadmaker is that many of the employed staff have disabilities and despite this they prove every...

Living up to its name, I had a melt sandwich here and the bread was simply amazing. Tuna, melted cheese on this crispy yet soft bread with a small salad on the side. Perfect for a quick Saturday afternoon lunch. Did peek around and the...

Stopped in for a quick bite whilst in the area - glad we did. Good selection of food, lovely bread / rolls and cakes. Had a brie, carrot and caramelised ginger sandwich and a bakewell muffin - both amazing. Coffee good too. Would highly recommend!

Came here for coffee and a catch up with two friends. It is nicely decorated and a decent size. Selection is decent and fairly reasonable priced. Only thing to mention is that it was roasting inside! It wasn't a particularly warm day but it was...

We popped in here on a dreich Monday afternoon to escape the rain and grab a cup of coffee. We were greeted by friendly staff, super cakes and a delicious cup of coffee. Will most definitely be returning!

Stopped here with my mum for a quick spot of lunch. Mum enjoyed the soup which she was pleased was suitable for vegetarians. I enjoyed a panini. The staff were very friendly and helpful and offered to bring my mums coffee to the table after...

This place is located near the centre of town and clearly would be popular with people nipping out of the office for lunch. As the name suggests, it is an artisan bakery, and there was a selection of bread products on sale. I was there...

lovely food and a great experience, this place is really a great idea! bread is amazing ! those choc chip muffins..... compleatly loaded with choc chips! best muffin i have ever had!

Absolutely amazing muffins I can't get enough of them !!! Please make more varieties that would be amazing salted caramel would be awesome

Bread maker bakes Fantastic Muffins, I had blueberry which was incredibly light and fluffy!!! Great coffee too and friendly staff.

Easy to find location. Very tasty bread (I tried multigrain) at resonable prices (~2GBP). Friendly staff.

Our office recently moved to the City Centre and we needed to find a caterer for our lunchtime meetings. We've used the Breadmaker twice and both times were completely satisfied with the wraps, sandwiches, fruit platters and of course the 'fine pieces'. We'll definitely be...

Everything at the bread maker is homemade. Soups, sandwiches and yummy cakes! They also sell local products. The staff are very friendly, and it's not expensive. They also sell the best gluten free bread I've ever tasted, so much better than the supermarkets! And cheaper!

For a place that boasts artisan bread, fresh bread making I was disappointed in my sandwich. The bread was stale and difficult to bite through. I'm not sure if it was because it had been lying out in the cabinet all day...there was too much...

First visit and though it was busy, the staff were polite and extremely helpful. The atmosphere was welcoming and products were reasonably priced. Would certainly recommend and visit again.

I visited the Breadmaker with a party of three and we decided to order one tuna and red onion sandwich and two croque monsieurs. When going up to the counter to order, we were told they no longer made croque monsieurs despite it is still...

Visited the Breadmaker just after 3.30pm on a Saturday afternoon (prime afternoon tea time) to find half of the cafe blocked off by chairs. On approaching the counter it was clear things were being taken off display and the staff were busying themselves with that....

Such a lovely place to go in Aberdeen for food. Everything is made fresh and very reasonably priced. It is also a social enterprise helping adults with learning difficulties. Definitely worth a visit!

When we visit Aberdeen we try to get bread here but the other day we arrived at lunchtime and decided to have coffee and a sandwich as well as buying bread. The service was quick, the staff friendly and our food was very good. As...

This lovely little shop/ café is welcoming and can be a bit of a squash but is well worth it. Whether you are staying for coffee, buying bread/ cakes/ croissant for home consumption or sitting in for a lovely salad or sandwich or delicious cake...

What is not to love about the Breadmaker? The cafe itself is very pleasant to spend time in - it has a wonderful bustling feel to it on a lunchtime. Even when it is busy there are plenty staff to make sure you don't have...

I was recently in and bought a sweet chilli chicken sub for my lunch. I was served quickly and the staff were polite as per. The sandwich was beautiful - bread was soft, salad was crisp and there was plenty filling. Could not fault it...

All round disappointing. Asked specifically for strong coffees - they came weak, and coffee slopped into the saucer! Roast beef sandwich was poor with 'salad' that consisted of only limp lettuce. A tiny little round quiche with a salad that must have been plated up...

I have previously purchased bakery goods which have always been excellent quality and price and today decided to stop for a light lunch. The sandwiches were excellent value coming in at around £3.50 and my one which was brie, carrot and ginger was an unusual...

Great place to drop in for a coffee, tea or pastry in the morning or a sandwich in the afternoon. My husband and I were regular visitors on our trip to Aberdeen. The coffee and food were good; however, it is the staff that makes...

Been to The Bread Maker a few times for fresh bread and buns. Every time I have been the staff are so friendly and helpful. The smell of freshly cooked bread is so inviting. Very well priced for what you receive and cant wait to...

I recently visited the bread maker for a takeaway sweet chilli chicken sandwich. The bread was fresh homemade and there was plenty of filling. There was a wonderful smell of freshly cooked bread and the staff were pleasant. Would have happily paid more.

Came in here for a coffee to knock in time and found the staff very friendly and efficient I opted for a Mocha which was only £1:50 (fab offer before 11) and I had theeeee most fantastic Strawberry Tart mmmmmm can't wait for my next...

I have to say I am disappointed by my visit. I had been looking forward to a chance to pop in.The only thing artisan about the place is the prices. I popped in for a quick coffee and a cake to warm up on a...

The Bread Maker really does make some lovely breads. I use to visit here regularly but poor customer service over a number of visits really put me off. I think its a wonderful enterprise and its great to see so many disadvantaged people in the...

One of my usual haunts- I get the food I ordered! My way! They help the Special Needs Community and it's a pleasure to eat there, they even have 2 tables outdoors on their tiny space of sidewalk. Clean, lots of fresh, homemade breads to...

This is food that when you eat it you just feel good afterwards. Their bread is all home made and wholesome. And so are the people. A friendly staff is that much more the welcoming. Good coffee and lattes as well.

Just ordered a takeaway sandwich from 'the bread maker' which consisted of a white roll, two slices of thin roast beef (which didn't look homemade), horseradish sauce and some wilting salad. It was a complete rip off at £3.60. I recon the total cost for...

I popped in for a quick coffee and a cake whilst filling in time before attending a doctor's appointment (this place is ideally located for this). The place was spotless, and whilst not excessively busy, it was steady - and it was only 840 in...
