Canatrice Bakery in North Tyneside

The bacon from here is unreal, it doesn’t shrink like shop bought. Their bread is gorgeous and their cakes are hard to resist. Always call in when I’m in North Shields.

Read the reviews, most of which were positive, and thought we’d give it a try. First & last time. Bought several items, including stotties, loaf cake, millionaires shortbread, florentines & Viennese whirl. The only passable items were the bread and the farmhouse (fruit) loaf - although even this was way too soft and just fell apart when trying to slice it. The shortbread was tasteless and seemed to suffer from a lack of quality ingredients. The florentines were also underwhelming. Too thin, too little chocolate, over-baked & lacking the unctuous texture it requires. Didn’t even try the Viennese whirl although my wife pronounced it ‘disgusting’, so I’m glad I didn’t.

Had a Cornish pasty and Viennese whirl for lunch. Absolutely fantastic! As I was visiting family I took some bread cakes back home (Wistow near Selby). 9pm last night they were demolished with tuna mayo filling. I was seriously impressed with the quality, like stepping back to a bygone era. Oh how I wish I could find a similar store in Yorkshire. Keep up the good work, your efforts are greatly appreciated!

I have recently used Canatrice for food for my grandsons christening and everything was amazing. Mrs Ward who helped me was so lovely the whole experience was brilliant can’t recommend the bakery enough!

A wonderland of real home baked cakes and proper pasties, it's like being transported back in time to when bakeries only sold good stuff! Can't recommend highly enough

Beautiful bread buns! Peach melba as a treat looked nice, tall, iced, full of cream with one teeny weeny piece of peach, about a quarter of a sliver right in the bottom which I searched for. This doesn't deserve the name peach melba, its dominated only by cream with a coat of coloured icing and no peach taste whatsoever. Very disappointed in something that looked so nice. Eclairs are nice though.

No tenía nada de qué quejarse todos buenos precios personal todo bien vale la pena una visita no pase sin una visita. . .
