Cadwgan Bakery in Conwy

Not called in for a while but now unlikely to ever call again. Seem to have changed the bread rolls used which used to be superb. They are now just revolting. The pie also just fell apart when trying to eat it. Very poor especially when there are so many alternatives in the area

Absolutely delightful , The best lemon bums I have ever tasted Lovely and friendly staff I can see why people q out the door

Awful,had a ham bap,the ham and filling was nice,but the bap was awful,frozen rubbish totally destroyed it, would have been lovely with a nice fresh soft bap,shame,I'll not be there again.

Very disappointed, read reviews and was expecting great delights when I finally spotted the parking space outside . I had cherry and coconut flapjack which was as dry as old boots binned it then on to millionaire slice ,the base of it was about an inch thick but it wasn't short bread and overall just wasnt good . I binned both i wished i takenboth back . Also got a granary loaf ,it's a rather add shape i won't hold that against it ,but I'm not expecting much now

Beautiful cakes, especially the lemon buns. Great value too. Always make a visit when we are in the area. Lovely helpful staff.

Came here for the famous lemon buns, as my brother brought a box full last month and couldn’t stop praising them. It was a short walk from the Victoria Rd free car park and as soon we walked in to the shop we were greeted by the polite staff members. It was after lunchtime and at first I couldn’t spot them but the lemon buns were in the back cabinet display and only three were left! One of the ladies informed us that the card machine was broken and that it was cash-only so we asked where the nearest cashpoint was. She asked us if we wanted to keep the buns to one side “as they will go”, and thank god she did! We were only gone for 10mins and the lady said she had had to turn a customer away because he had wanted a lemon bun. So very kind and we were so thankful. They were absolutely delicious and definitely lived up to the praises! Thank you for your kind service, we will definitely be back! x

Our favourite bakery, which we always visit when here on holiday. Especially recommend the Lemon buns, but all the cakes and bread is top quality and great value

Visited the bakery because I'd heard such good things particularly about the lemon buns! These were indeed awesome but in all honesty i could have bought the entire shop. The sausage rolls were the nicest in a very long time, the blackcurrant tart was voted amazing. I could go one but suffice to say don't miss the opportunity to visit this shop. I'm just glad I don't live near enough to be there every day or I'd be 90kg by Christmas!

Although the cakes are amazing and so are the pastry’s, it’s the staff I have lowered the score for. One in particular makes you feel like your intruding when you walk in. Maybe they don’t like non locals walking in? But I’ve been on around 7 occasions and each time this lady has made me feel so uncomfortable, no manners used atal not even a smile. It’s a shame really because the bakery is lovely. Maybe she’s just not a people person?

Recently my husband has been working in Colwyn Bay and was told about this wonderful bakery. Well I can assure you it’s a little gem of a find. The best selection of cakes and pastries he’s ever seen and the lemon iced buns are to die for. Yes you should get there early because they do sell out, and I’m not surprised, like little angels dancing on the tongue. So happy we found you 😁

We were visiting North Wales for a holiday and a friend of mine had told me to go to the bakery, so on our way home we decided to call in, luckily for us it wasn't too busy and we were able to get a selection of cakes and we made sure we got some of the famous lemon buns. They were amazing! So glad we made the trip.

Having recently moved to the area, neighbour told me about this bakery , I was not disappointed, unfortunately for me I popped in late afternoon ona Saturday, so wasn't much choice, lady on counter was friendly and helpful, had 3 cakes can't remember what they was but absolutely loved them. Next time definitely going first thing in the morning

Proper old style bakery. Great pies, bread and fabulous lemon buns, I cant walk out without buying one .

Excellent bread .cakes pies etc.also hot food to takeaway ( limited choice )if you go try a lemon bun.

They always have a great choice of bread (particularly good wholemeal bread) which they will happily slice for you. There is also a wide range of cakes. The best has to be the rhubarb and cherry cake (unfortunately, not always available). The staff is always happy to help.

Great selection of pastries and cakes,spoilt for choice, lovely fresh bread,and a birthday cake to be proud of

This is an old fashioned type of bakery where quality and service counts. The bread, cakes and fresh sandwiches made on the premises are lovely. On top of that, the staff are so friendly. Thank you.

Always freshly baked on the premises, and the staff a delight. Shop always clean and tidy. Bread,cakes and pies superb. +++

Traditional bakery, what a pleasure it is to have this on our doorstep, freshly baked goods daily. The Lemon buns are famous and not to be missed.

Ok so its been a couple of years since I last went.in...but the reason is simple.Myself and freind who,s a freindly,smiley Londoner were both really put out by the younger member of staff who not just once ,but twice engaged into a sly side talk about us to the elder lady!Are we not good enogh?!...I will never forget this rudeness...which is why I have never gone back, and I only live 1 mile away.Incidently the food ok...but expensiveAlso we found they would pretend to be out of any ingredients that involved fresh cooking!!!///Cold food yes...Hot food..No!

Pies and pasties fabulous and full, cakes fresh and yummy bread as at should be. All in all worth every penny. Staff very friendly and cheerful. Good to have old fashioned customer service. Thank you.

Purchased a pasty again today, but woman put it in the microwave for too long. It was horrible because the pastry was all limp. Not nice.

Pop in for beautiful bread, cakes and hot pies. Their celebration cakes ( to order) are fabulous and great value for money.

Pros - The staff are so nice Sandwiches are freshly made and taste delicious The iced buns are worth the travel Cheap Cons - Poor parking

On a recent Wednesday, Hubby and I were drving along the main A547 road when we decided to stop and have a walk around Old Colwyn. The place itself hadn't much to offer. However, we did find this small bakery and bought 2 large hot cross buns which cost £1.24. We ate them later and they tasted light and fresh.

On a recent visit to Old Colwyn I called in as recommended by friends. I'm so glad I did for the food on offer was perfection. I ordered for the family: pies, pasties, buns and cakes. All were of the highest quality. Brilliant.

Never been let down from here. Lovely selection of cakes. Reasonable priced and good service. Decent selection of sandwiches as well.

Visit the bakery several times a month for my morning butty....sausage rolls highly recommended For a special treat I have their acclaimed lemon bun.....you won't be disappointed

Excellent real bread, baked daily, good staff and speedy service. Their Cream Cakes are something to die for. They also sell savorys, well worth a visit if in the area.

Como es tan típico que solía vivir a la vuelta de la esquina pero nunca compras aquí.

Lemon buns are amazing like most things in there always love a healthy option on my dinner break... Also the sandwiches are decent also

Los rollos de salchichas son muy sabrosos y que pueden calentarse. El pan hace unas tostadas. Las tartas siempre fresca.

Un largo de negocios permanente con excelente productos de panadería - pan, pasteles, tartas, etc., el personal es muy amable!

Gran desayuno panecillos aunque están sujetos a disponibilidad. otros bocadillos y pasteles son bonitas son encantadoras.

He estado utilizando esta panadería durante más de 20 años, todo está siempre fresco, la tienda es preciosa y limpia, el personal siempre dispuesto a ayudar, y sus bollos de limón son para morirse

Panadería limpia y ordenada, sándwiches bien, pero nada especial, una selección muy buena tarta de limón y los bollos de crema son legendarios, pero tienes que ir temprano para conseguir ya que a menudo acaban en el almuerzo.

This bakery is tasty with plenty of choice in.The only problem is I find a few of the staff rude, quite often when I come in.

best bakery around for miles highly recommend it, there bread is amazing, nice friendly staff just off the main road

plenty of choice from baps, sandwiches, pies, pasties, pizza and quiche, lots of sweets too, the strawberry tarts, apple turnovers and lemon buns are many peoples favourites.

I use Cadwgan bakery alot, the bread is made fresh daily and the snacks are delicious, as are the cakes and there is a good range, always served with a smile.

I adore Cadwgan Bakery! Been there too many times to remember! Friendly, talkative staff, with a very clean establishment! Would 100% recommend (especially the lemon buns)

First visit over 40 years ago, honey buns and stuff!! Everything so tasty. Compared to other independent specialist business/brands springing up everywhere the range looks stayed and dated. 1990's? Won't matter to regulars I guess. Need to get there first part of the day, things can run out and when late, Ive been provided with bread that I found afterwards to be too dry/crusty which I don't think should be sold.My problem lies in the service, they have some self important, opinionated staff who are plain rude. Its been mentioned before and its their choice to either do something about it or prefer to keep it as it is. I don't like to feel 'grateful' to receive attention, argued with or made to wait until their conversation is concluded. I'd rather feel appreciated for providing a custom.I'm sure they have people who are lovely, I just haven't been fortunate enough on recent visits to be greeted & looked after by one of them.Easy for us to fix, we will go elsewhere.

Very nice bread and cakes. Sells out very fast. Staff are okay. The only reason I'm giving it rating of 4 is cause by the afternoon the food goes dry/stale but still gets sold.

Been eating here for 15+ years, the food is ALWAYS spot on 100% Most of the staff are great however one woman who has worked here years who completely let it down, never ever smiled, very abrupt to the point where I won't go when she is there as the sour attitude ruins my appetite,it a shame as the blonde lady is so charming and her efforts are ruined. I cannot and would not fault a single thing about the food here........apart that it it too hard to resist :-)

This is our local bakery - a lovely traditional proper bakery.The queues speak for themselves! Their lemon buns and their honey buns are famous.

Really nice bakery, been coming here since I was very young. I know everyone raves about the Lemon Buns but the Honey Buns are epic too!! My bridesmaid fetched some on the morning of my wedding when we were getting ready :-)

Easily the best local bakery in Old Colwyn fresh bread daily, great cakes, pies, really friendly service and easy to park across the road

Great local bakery offering freshly baked bread which tastes of bread ( unlike so many supermarkets). Fantastic selection of pastries and pies sausage rolls . Worth a visit !!!

This bakery is my favorite. The I buy about two loaves a week. O prefer the brown but the white rolls are lovely too. There is always a great choice of cakes but the lemon buns are my favourite. You need to go early as they sell out. They have a good choice of filled rolls for.lunch and even Pizzas and pastries. Yummy

Great place for cakes and very tasty...Have to be fast though as the day goes on the real tasty cakes go.

The lemon buns are stunning, also the strawberry tarts and bread.It's a lovely bakery,just lovely.At christmas they also make fantastic mince pie's.

I use this shop for mostly lemon buns, but i do use it for other food their bread is always fresh,i know the owners well so are always looked after

The lemon bun.....so nice to see this shop still going strong, I remember it in my youth going with my mum. Its important to support local business and also support quality, Cadwgan Bakery has quality :)

Have had a few visits here over the last few years and had some very good Cherry Scones, Lemon Buns but very disappointing and very expensive Honey buns which tasted like a honey butter filling not like I remembered them from my childhood but maybe its how they make them in Wales, never been all that impressed with the various pies and bread but Pasties are ok but do enjoy the Cherry scones. each to their own with cakes/pies - overall its above average-good - trip advisor just dont have a option to select this and would not say its very good.

Great freshly baked bread and lemon cream buns that are wonderful. Proper sandwiches too with lots of choice. Get there early

The lemon buns from this bakery were things of legend when I worked in Colwyn Bay, and made an appearance on birthdays. They are gorgeous, but are pricey. Birthdays were an expensive time!

Very consistent: I’m always happy with whatever I bye, bread, pies, pasties and cakes.Well worth a visit highly recommend.

gorgeous lemon buns, we travel from prestatyn just to buy them! we've had other cakes/sandwiches here and they are always consistently good

Had my birthday cake from this bakery since I was 1, every year without fail. (I'm now 20!!) This year we got one and the cream has completely changed (used to be buttercream now more like sweet synthetic cream), the icing that used to be smooth and pastel coloured is now uneven and illuminous, and the piping work was really messy. Also the sponge was dry and didn't appear to be fresh! Tasted one on another occasion around July time and it was absolutely beautiful - exactly the same as they've always been until now! Hope this was just a blip/baker was off sick or having an bad day! After speaking to other people, they also have had disappointing purchases recently.

Recently moved into the area. Popped in on the off chance and was not disappointed. It's a PROPER bakery.All I wanted was a loaf - came out having spent over £10 on buns and pies as well. The quality is superb - some of the best pies I've ever tasted (and I've tasted a few trust me!). Plenty of meat inside and the pastry is spot on.Weekly visits from now on!

Every time we have a reason in the office we try to get here STUPIDLY early before they sell out. But you can pre-book them too!

The Cadwgan Bakery is renowned throughout the central north Wales Coast belt ,, bread, pastries, cakes, pies fresh from the back of the shop (I think). Customers came from miles to buy ..

Delicious savouries, topping cakes, fabulous bread, and not expensive. We ordered our grand-daughters birthday cake from here, having been quoted over £60.00 to buy a decorated one from a specialist cake shop not too far away. It was a 10 inch square, with a basic pink icing, and piped edge to the top, and cost less than £15.00. We finished the decorating ourselves, (thank you Amazon), and we were later told (But can't prove) that one of the specialist shops in the area actually buys the basic cake from Cadwgan to decorate and sell on. The cake was delicious, and met with approval from little and big kids alike. There is a large German owned supermarket just a few hundred yards away, but such is the quality, service and reputation of this bakery it continues to flourish, and it deserves to.

Just loving the lemon buns but go early they sell out pretty quick . Over all you will find a great selection of breads and pastry

I was brought up in Colwyn Bay and following the closure of my favourite bakery in Rhos on Sea, (which used to make delicious honey buns), I was thrilled to find equally scrumptious honey buns at Cadwgan Bakery. I now live in Kent and get my Mum to post 4 to me whenever she can -they're THAT good. It's like being 12 all over again ( in a good way).

I visit here all the time when I'm in the area! Just second to none for the food and the friendly staff! Highly recommended this beautiful bakery! I always get a roll which is always full to the brim which is lovely after a hard days work and a lemon bun which are the best around! Would recommend to anyone!

Excellent bakery. Not a restaurant.Rolls,sandwiches,quiches,pies and other lunch time snacks available,hot or coldFabulous cakes freshly made and excellent bread. Very popular.Honey buns a family favourite as well as the vanilla Danish pastries

Well known locally for it's cream lemon buns, Cadwgan Bakery have a great range of Bread, Cakes and Pastries, all of them delicious!! I've probably sampled them all over the years. Well worth a visit.Easy to find in the village just down from Aldi and our Wedding Shop, Vanilla Pod.Try them, you'll be back soon!!The poor hygiene rating mentioned?? Well I was there when the inspector arrived unannounced (as they should), as the owner was on her own in the shop as a result of staff illness, she couldn't accompany the inspector around and serve at the same time!!!! Typically, this was designated as being unwilling to permit an inspection, therefore a poor score was given. Can't these jobs-worths understand they can't just expect someone to close a business down while they are there. The place is always being cleaned!!

We have used this bakery for years and have never had a bad cake!! We regularly order the birthday cakes as they remind us of the super sweet, sticky types from our childhood! Even our children love them now- better than the bland supermarket ones, and easier than making one yourself. We love the honey buns, which are a speciality and also the chelsea buns. The bread is fresh and tasty and would recommend getting there early. Yes, it does seem that the prices have increased maybe, but haven't they everywhere at the moment??? Definitely the best baker in the area.

Been going here for years. Sadly, lots of things slipping. Very rarely any smiles from the staff here, particularly the dark haired one who has been there ages. Never smiles, never friendly, dread being served by her. The lemon buns are fabulous, the bread seems to be quite dense lately, not pleasant. The prices seem to have gone up considerably. Not sure items are worth the price now, even more expensive than m & s won't go back in a hurry, sadly.

Called for Bara brith again had one off the shelf was not as good as the first one but still had plenty of fruit in it

Can honestly say I love this place me and my friend visit here on a regular basis and everything they sell is to dye for! And the baps are so soft just dont think about it and get your self there!

Purchased Bara Brith again it was taken from the freezer was wrapped in cling film and was just perfect But had one previous off the shelf tasted stale and rather hard to cut glad that I returned am am very happy Again Still the Best Bara Brith so far plenty of fruit and cherries .

Cadwgan Bakery is a rarity - a small, highly popular old fashioned bakery that hasn't been killed off by one of the big chains like Greggs or Sayers.Everything they sell is delicious but you have to visit early otherwise you might leave empty handed. Like other reviewers on here the lemon buns are to die for - they're big, great value for money, very filling and utterly utterly yummy!The only downside to Cadwgan Bakery is that the staff can occasionally be abrupt but don't be put off - it's worthy of an excellent 5 out of 5!

I was introduced to Cadwgan Bakery by a friend who gave me lemon buns from there. I now pop in weekly to buy more and sample the delicious range of cakes, bread and snacks. If you are ever in the area, it is well worth a visit, but get there early because they do tend to sell out quickly! 10/10 for service, quality and range. I now have friends travelling from Anglesey and Wrexham to buy from here, such is their reputation. Give it a try, you will not be disappointed.

Lovely girls, always friendly and welcoming! Love love love the Lemon Buns, they are famous around here! Everything always fresh and tasty!

Their lemon buns are famous locally, the bread is lovely and the baps and pork pies are also great, the mince pies melt in your mouth, its a lovely bakery

Very pleased to have found a real Bara brith have purchased many only to be very dissappointed to find them Just like currant bread or malt bread texture with fruit and no malt and worse when having to pay as much .so thank you To cadwgan bakery for restoring my faith in a real Bara brith at long long last.
