Cottage Bakery in Bristol, City of

It's been converted into residential premises and is CLOSED FOREVER. They never made much effort with the customer counter anyway, but it's a shame the premises didn't go to a business who did want to run a public facing bakery at this location.

Visited 14/03/2024. Definitely closed at the moment, though I have no idea about the business itself. Unclear why they haven't adjusted Google info to show Downend Rd premises are closed.

It’s shut down at the Downend Road location

Had some Portuguese tarts and the Custard cream blondie. Both were of a very high quality and worthy the money

Really, really good products. Speedy and friendly service everything you would ask for. Highly recommend

Love the bread from here. Just think things on the counter should be covered?

A novel place. Quality sausage bap and chorizo pasty was excellent. Docked a star as the latte was made too hot; I scolded myself when I tried to drink it.

I had the best meat and vegetable pasty today I have ever eaten……. Wonderful shortcrust pastry and packed with meat and perfectly seasoned vegetables! A little gem of a place on my door step and the staff are so friendly too I will be coming back for more……

Tasty pasties and cakes! Friendly staff.

So fresh best bakery around by far

I reccomend the Chicken/Chorizo pasty.

Only been here a couple of times, but I got a loaf of the granary bread and it was really tasty. Good selection of different breads as well

This is the best ever bread absolutely delicious

Excellent homemade bread, cakes, buns and more. Service is very good. A wonderful local bakery. We enjoy their sourdough and GI bread as well as their flapjacks and brownies.

I go here very frequently. They have very friendly staff, brilliant freshly made bread and a good range of breakfast treats. They cut your bread perfectly! Their buns and cakes aren't so good as they have normally sat around for some time but everything else is amazing. Would definitely recommend if you are local to the area!

Nice food, nice staff, all round nice experience

Great choice of tasty breads & pastries at good prices. Local eggs. Decent coffee.

Real old fashioned bread, cakes to die for, gorgeous savoury pies ,what's not to like and the staff are pretty special too

The woman is so rude to customers its unbelievable. The remodel made it the worst, with uncovered food, dry and horrible.

Great service really high quality tasty produce

Fantastic bakery, friendly and helpful team. Really tasty bread and cakes. The have produced every week high quality tasty rolls for the football club I'm involved with every week. Cannot rate them highly enough

Appreciated that they offered a delivery service during lockdown. Love the granary loaf.

Lovely food could do with some vegan and Veggie options other than cheese but otherwise fantastic.

Friendly staff who sell a range of freshly baked bread, pasteries & cakes.

Great bread and cakes and they sell a nice tasty ham

Disappointing. I went in out of curiosity and because reviews looked good. It was just after 10am on a weekday, the vast majority of the bread shelves were empty, and the choice of pastries was very thin. I bought 2 “Viennese sandwiches” type of biscuits as I would have felt rude to leave without buying something - set me back £4.80, which I felt was a bit steep... The feeling of disappointment only increased as the pastries did not taste nice at all; texture was off, the cream tasteless and the chocolate cover tasted stale. But the final blow for me was to not find “basics” like croissants, pains au chocolat, or even just plaits or any kind of danish in a bakery mid-morning

Lovely fresh bread all styles ,tasty baked goods and sandwiches highly recommended

Wonderful bread. Cakes are a bit average (have tried all of them! And feel like they could be from a chain bakery) The lardy cake can be absolutely phenomenal but since lockdown it's not as sticky and gooey which is a shame. Still worth a visit for a flat tin loaf!

Amazing fresh bread and friendly staff, an institution.

I would like to thank cottage bakery and all their staff for all their hardwork. I have been using these for my fresh cakes, sandwiches and pasties and they are incredible. Would highly recommended. Thanks

I got totally ripped off today by them. No prices advertised, which should've alerted me. I bought 1 large loaf and 2 packs of 6 hot cross buns ~ I was charged £8!

Great selection of bread, pasties, pies, sandwiches, cakes and brilliant Bacon Rolls. Good coffee and a tea and doorstep toast option. What more could you want from a bakery. Highly recommended 👍🏻🙂

Wide selection of really nice bread and cake baked on the premises. The staff are friendly and helpful.

It's lovely but I asked for cream slices and got home to find out it's custard 🤢

All food excellent and staff friendly and helpful

They make lardie the way it should be made currants and a glazed caramel top wonderful.

Great place for special breads or a pasty or dessert for lunch to take away. I went regularly when I lived nearby, and it's been reliably great food.

Best bread always tasty easy to order cakes are great too

Excellent craft bakery with a range of breads. Also sells very good pasties and sandwiches made from their own bread.

This place sells really tasty, freshly made sandwiches and cakes. All the bread is baked in the morning on the premises and staff are really friendly.Highly recommended.

Great fresh food from a lovely local establishment, served with a nice smile and always keen to chat! Whether you want a large puff pastry pie for dinner or a little Eccles cake for a snack this place is perfect!
