Douglas Bakery in South Lanarkshire

Passed this place a couple of times and anyway decided to drop in on my way back home Wow and I mean wow….its brilliant, open bakery, everything prepared fresh, great service and the pies are nothing short of fantastic. Decent coffee and has seating as well

Lovely pies, cakes and bread. Really friendly staff

My ideal stop between Cumnock and Edinburgh when I'm on the Motorcycle,for a warm and excellent Pies and Cappuccino.Even my Daughter from Edinburgh is impressed and always takes pies home.Never had better. Great staff and service.A1.

Best pies and bread in the area.

Superb selection of delicious pastries and buns.

Amazing little bakery in the little village outdoor seating in the sun with the dogs was ideal. Lovely sausage roll and veggie broth. Best we have had. Shortbread biscuits a were amazing. Lovely quaint place with lovely staff.

Lovely sausage rolls great service

Lovely bakery, amazing and huge white bread rolls. Very filling and reasonably priced. All baking made fresh. Lots of fresh hot pies with different fillings. A few pastries if you have a sweet tooth as well. Not traditional bakery in that no empire biscuits or doughnuts but you don’t need that as there baking is so lovely. As they often sell out you can call and preorder so you don’t miss out and often bread and rolls are hot as not long out of the oven. They take card and cash.

Great bakery! We’ve done a stop at our roadtrip to have some breakfast. We had perfect pastries and the staff was awesome.

Found this wee place by accident when we were out on the motorbike, nice staff great food. Bit expensive but it is good quality grub so I don't mind paying a bit more.

Delicious soup and home made bread coffee and cakes Delicious well worth rhe visit comfy seating and immaculate toilets

I wanted to come back and update my review. I bought an almond croissant and a coffee (amongst other things) today and it was the best almond croissant I've ever had. It was so incredibly yummy. This place gets better and better. Their baked goods are so good. This place is a genuine treasure. Love it here. Always pop in on the way home back to England after visiting Ayr. Their baked goods are sooo yummy, especially the breakfast rolls and sausage rolls.

Great find and unexpected. Great quality pies and pastries.

Great bakery, with very nice and friendly staff, a varied bakery after a week of Scottish breakfasts. Delicious!

Best scone I've ever had, and for a fair price too.

We called in (as we always do) on the way to Ayr and this bakery is amazing. The salt and pepper chicken pie was out of this world. Do NOT miss up the chance to visit this wonderful, friendly place.

Have passed quite regularly, every 3 weeks but usually in a hurry. Stopped recently and very pleased we made the time. Great coffees and excellent baking. Well worth the stop and will enusre we make it a regular feature of our journeys in the future.

Hands down the best sausage roll I've ever eaten. Husband had the salt and chilli beef pie which was absolutely delicious too, generous pieces of beef and it was really lean/well cooked. Finished off with an apricot cream which was lovely. Well worth a detour for! Bakery itself looked lovely and clean, staff were very friendly.

Great pies, worthy of a detour if you're passing on the motorway.

Lovely bakery, I had the steak balmoral and it was delicious, warm and comforting. Owner was delightful as well. Definitely worth a stop for anyone driving or cycling through.

Awesome sausage rolls, and the best apple and rhubarb pastries + quick and kind service. Relaxing and welcoming feel in addition to the amazing smells coming from the open kitchen area:

Amazing experience. Food is so lovely, really well made. You can tell it’s made with love. The atmosphere of the bakery is lovely. And the staff are amazing. Would 100% recommend to anyone!!!

Really great bakery, lovely staff and amazing food!! Lovely vibe inside, it was a pleasure to visit. Would definitely recommend!!

I honestly ate the most heavenly sausage roll in history. It had the perfect temperature, perfect texture and the flavour was ridiculously good. I would drive 50 miles to just eat here again. If you want the best sausage roll in Britain you know where to go!

I can’t rate the Douglas bakery high enough. The pies and pastries are possibly the best I’ve ever tasted. The two ladies were busy making the sausage rolls unbelievably lovely. Really friendly place. Well worth a short detour of the M74

Great selection of pies and rolls, cakes.

Have visited Douglas Bakery 5 times in the past few months and will continue to visit every few weeks. The inside is modern and comfortable with seats to sit and enjoy the food and coffee. There are tables outside too. The food is absolutely incredible and there are often special pies on. My favourite has been the salt n chilli chicken pie which I was disappointed wasn't there last time I was there, but my bank account was probably relieved. The breakfast slippers are incredible ways to make breakfast differently and not just on a morning roll. Staff are really friendly and you can see the rapport they have with customers - and it's obvious they take their time to know their customers. Popular with motorcyclists and cyclists passing and it's easy to see why.

Watching your baking being made for you is an amazing experience. Food is fabulous, full of flavour and fresh.

Best focaccia I have had in a long time! It took less than 20 mins for my family and I devoured it. Now I'm thinking in the car thinking I should have gotten another one. The staff are friendly and everything is so freshly made and smell delicious! Definitely recommend to stop over to grab a bite and some extra to take home so you don't end up regretting it like me!

Sat in and had a couple of pastries for breakfast that tasted amazing. Looking forward to trying my bread when I get home. Would visit again.

Great coffee, amazing cakes and 2 Balmoral pies to eat later😋

Had an old favourite,, a pie and a roll outstanding no just your normal scotch pie (( football pie)) this was 100% meat and a felt like a had a 3 course meal.

The pastry are amazing and sausage pastry

Quiet time of the day, food was very fresh and Tasty

Amazing bakery, the pies are gorgeous and the staff super helpful and friendly. Very reasonable prices.

Accidentally found this place, really busy which is a good sign. Big tasty bakery food pies, sausage rolls, etc. Lovely breads cakes and a wide selection of soft drinks, teas and good coffee. Slightly let down by only one person serving despite a family of 8 forcing their way in front of me had to wait for ages for a soup and a pie. Ignorant people apart there seems plenty of staff to help out the next customers but didn't.

First stop here and I'm sure it won't be the last. Fantastic baking, have just had the best Scotch Pie I've ever eaten! Sausage roll was meaty and gorgeous and the Lentil Soup got a big thumbs up from the wife. We'll done to all the staff. We'll worth going out of the way to visit

Wonderful find. Great choice and all very fresh and tasty. Something for all of us. Really enjoyed the food. Lovely friendly staff. Thank you x

We were on our way back from a golf trip and came across this wonderful bakery just getting in before the 3 o’clock closure. We each had pies, sausage rolls, croissants and coffee. (I even went back in to get a pie to take home too). What a find it was all excellent. Couldn’t recommend highly enough. I travel to Scotland fairly regularly and will make this a definite stop off.

Still sat in the carpark after ramming a sausage roll down mi face... I hardly ever eat meat... felt the need today. Not disappointed. But not eating it all as my new Chocolate Doberman wants a piece. Good coffee too. Stake pie next time. ....... Edit:- Just to add, a week or so later, I just had a steak pie and it was gob smacking. 😋 Extra edit... A guy in reviews hassles for hardly being open, your response needs to be updated as you say you are open Wednesday but are not open Wednesday in addition to Monday and Tuesday. I'm gutted! 4 day week! business must be too good!

I just stopped fot a coffee with my cousins boy. He had a Balmoral Pie, which he said was delicious. They certainly seemed to have a great range to choose from, and the girl was very informative. If I come back to Douglas then I'd not have seconds thoughts about visiting and having food this time.

Amazing sausage roll and brownie. Recommend for anyone passing by.

Best pies and sausage rolls I have had in a long will. Will definitely be back. Great friendly service.

Stopped en route to Ayr to pick up their incredible treacle scones for my wee mum. She loves them. They withstand the next forty miles of cycling into the wind no bother. The staff are super friendly and the produce is high quality artisanal baking at low prices. Amazing really.

This bakery and cafe is so good. Artisanal high quality produce at reasonable prices. Great staff and a lovely atmosphere. Also great bicycle shop right next door.

This was my first visit to the bakery. I was in the area, hungry and thought I'd give it a go. It's a lovely little place and friendly too. I couldn't decide what to get so I bought a few things to keep me going. The Lorne Slipper is amazing, the caramel muffin was just gorgeous and the sausage roll, well, OMG! It has to be the best sausage roll that I've had! I'm glad I don't live close by, my waistline couldn't handle it but I will definitely be popping in anytime I'm down that way!

Love the staff food is great and great coffee too x

The staff are really welcoming and friendly. The pies and sausage rolls are delicious and the coffee is the best, would definitely recommend stopping by here for some fresh baked goods and a decent cup of coffee.

Found this whilst travelling through. Popped in for coffee, left with a variety of fresh baked produce. Super friendly staff.

Jamie was ever so welcoming and extremely friendly. On our way up from Essex to Glasgow, it only seemed fitting to stop in here! Incredible sausage roll with the flakiest pastry I’ve had.

Best pie I've ever had! Steak Balmoral with peppercorn sauce.

Bloody love this place. We visit every time we go through Douglas because why wouldn't you?! The slippers - bacon and cheese, Haggis, Lorne sausage - are all magnificent. The sausage rolls are fantastic and as for the Balmoral pies... Huge morning rolls, the best we've had and they do fab coffee. What's not to love about this place? It sets us up nicely for a shlepp down the M74. Heartily recommend😍

Would be ok if it opened occasionally.

Great food, not cheap but high quality.

Excellent food and excellent customer service

Small bakery with a good range of delicious options, good coffeee, and indoor and outdoor seating. I'm still reminiscing about the treacle scone I had 🤤😆 We stopped off on the way to visiting the Hill House in Helensburgh. Not far off the M74, so recommended rather than stopping at a service station, we will be back!

A truck driver passing through and pulled over for a pie and cuppa. Balmoral steak pie.... incredible. Hopefully passing through again soon

Amazing to see you guys back! I probably missed you a few times as I went through, so put a big sign up saying 'The old post office bakery is here!'

Best sausage rolls in the world

Our experience of visiting the bakery was wonderful for many reason, Jamie & Errica made us most welcome and accommodated our needs fully (My partner is disabled) the place was beautiful and immaculate. the Food was superb sausage rolls, patisseries coffee, all very original and tasty, wondereful spices mmmmm. It was obvious that they both were dedicated to the art of good original baking. and also looking out for the sourcing supply chain, sustainable and original ingredients etc. The place whilst small inside was accommodating indeed, also plenty of room and parking to dine outside if the weather is good. We enjoyed every minute there and could have stayed all day. (See comments on disability below)

I cannot express how good this bakery is. We have been a few times, so have tasted a few of their items; sausage rolls, steak pies, haggis, neeps & tattie pie and their brownies. I am not exaggerating when I say that all of the above have been genuinely the best baked goods I've ever eaten. Fresh, delicious and reasonably priced. On top of it all, the owners are absolutely lovely. This is a must-stop if you're ever in Douglas!

Lovely food and good coffee.Steak Balmoral pie was delicious as was the bacon and cheese slipper.

I stay down in Moffat no far away. I was up in Ayrshire with my wife and wains for a few days. I told the wains we would leave early in morning and get breakfast on the way. Actually I had work to do but………. Nipped in to here picked up 5 sausage rolls, couple morning rolls a latte and a hot chocolate. I made a hell of a mess in the car but by fuxx it was geed. I’m just in after the World Cup rugby final and chucked the last one in the microwave. Unbelievable………………. I feel I will be up to try everything else. See you guys soon. Cheers Scott.

Small bakery with a good range of delicious options. Not far off the M74, so recommended rather than stopping at a service station!

Definitely a bakery to go to, we got the breakfast slippers, delicious! Baker was extremely friendly and accommodating.

Happened apon Douglas Bakery by chance and everything was so delicious I had to order a second helping to take home with me.

Outstanding Bakery. We stopped here on the way up to Inverary. I’d read the reviews and thought it worth a stop. So glad we did stop, the steak balmoral pie was amazing, simply the best pie I’ve ever had. The coffee was great and the scone for desert was also amazing. The place was so good we stopped on the way home two weeks later. Had an equally amazing chicken curry pie.

We stopped off here on our way to Ayr I would definitely recommend this place I had the best steak pie I think I have ever had, I would definitely and will return and definitely recommend.

Lovely cafe/bakery. We had a scotch pie, sausage roll and breads. Good food. Friendly staff.

This bakery is well worth a visit. Bread tastes amazing. Focaccia fabulous. Too big for the two of us, we thought so the baker told us how to freeze and reheat it . No need. It was eaten up within half an hour. We live in Bucks but when next up your way we will definitely do a detour to visit this lovely bakery

Behold! The world's best sausage roll! Initially, we purchased one sausage roll and one curry pie. Not two minutes later, we were back in buying two more sausage rolls. I recommend this is detour worthy on any road trip.

Just dropped in for a pie and a coffee to break our journey. THE MOST AMAZING PIE EVER. Honestly delicious - coffees great too. Seriously recommend a visit. You won’t be disappointed! We will most definitely be back.

Live in Douglas so I'm a bit biased, we moved here in May and have been a regular customesr at Jamie's bakery, tried most things on the menu and all delicious. Was chatting with Jamie the other day and asked him if he ever made pork pies? Well to my delight called in today to try his soup Aireshire tattie and roll for lunch which was delicious made by Lauren's fair hands. Went back later when the pies were ready another great addition to there menu. I'm from yorkshire so have eaten my share of pork pies, Jamie's are up the with the best I've ever eaten. Ps tried his Scotch pies the other day never had one before but I'm now a convert.

Visited the bakery many times now, when I am out on the motorbike . Don’t drive past. Stop you will be pleased you did ,best ever sausage rolls fresh out the oven. That good bought some to take home . Expertly wrapped in foil . Just need to take the bigger bike next time so I can get some of the lovely fresh loafs to take home . Sat outside on the bench enjoyed my sausage roll & a coffee . Brilliant job Jamie thanks see on my next run out 👍

We popped in here to grab a quick lunch, but selection was very limited. All we got was a caramel muffin. It was delicious and worth the money, but we had to go elsewhere for something that we would actually eat, as we dont eat red meat, all they had on offer was sausage rolls and meat pies? It's worth popping in but don't expect a huge selection!

I now know the magic words that are the key to my heart… “it’s better, it’s got cheese in it.” I ordered a “Breakfast slipper with beef lorne sausage” that I saw on the chalk board, and asked if it was just another word for a breakfast roll. “No”, said the baker, “It’s better, it’s got cheese in it.” Oooh! It is a pastry with a lorne slice and posh cheese, stretchy and delicious. And the coffee was so good, Lavazza coffee, one of the best coffees I’ve had in a long time. Next time I’m going to try the pain au chocolate, there was a tray of them at eye-level and they looked so good. I think you know you are in a good bakery when the person serving you asks you to wait a moment before they serve you, so they can put the sourdough in the fridge first. Quality.

Get off the M74 and have a break in Douglas, an amazing artisan baker with pies of the day (steak, haggis slow cooked in hand raised water crust pastry) sausage, with leak and bacon rolls; lorne sausage (beef Scottish square sausage) slippers, bacon slippers were just some of the handmade savoury pastries on offer, as well as good quality coffee. Comfortable settees and news papers to read. Well worth the mile(ish) detour of the motorway in the opposite direction from the standard motorway services. You can even get petrol from the local station at non motorway prices… what’s not to love!

Woww. Stopped at the small bakery with seating inside and outside for a dozen people with ample parking. The best steak Balmoral pie ever and also the same for their sausage rolls. A must stop off if travelling up the motorway passed Douglas within 2 miles. Hot and cold drinks also available and cakes. A must if in the area. Take a pie for later as well. Easy flat access for buggies and wheel chairs plus his/her toilets. Please like if this helped. 👍

Loved it! We needed a quick stop for lunch between excursions. The owner was super friendly and the food was wonderful. One of the best brownies we’ve ever had.

This place is amazing! We had the pasty, the sausage roll and the slipper - all tasty and perfectly cooked! Cannot recommend this place enough! Staff helpful and well mannered

Fabulous hearty bread, pies, cakes & coffee following a great walk on the Douglas estate. Jamie & his staff were lovely, a must if you’re in the area.

Cycled 35 miles to the bakery for the treacle scone. it was well worth it. Cycled another treacle scone onwards forty miles to Ayr for my mum. She loved it and says I must return. I will do so. Used to stop here when it was The Scrib Tree but they were a bit stand offish towards cyclists until bantz and a wee tip would win them over. the bakery owner and staff are a far friendlier bunch. Well worth the visit.

Came across as looking for a bite to eat on journey home. Sausage rolls and cinnamon bun to die for! Left with a bag full of bread and pies. Will visit again next time we are in the area.

Just a couple of miles off the motorway and well worth the short detour, enjoy a relaxing coffee and one of their amazing pies (other bakery items are available!). It's hard to refuse when there is a Lamb Madras pie on offer! Lovely staff too.

Passed this on a random drive and just had to pop in and it was worth it ! The cheese bacon turnovers are the best I’ve had (and I’ve had a few) and the cake selection is very good, I chose the jam tart; absolutely...

Friendly staff. Fantastic baking - a good range of sweet and savoury. Seating inside and outside with plenty of parking. One of the pies when we were there was local, award-winning beef and haggis. Delicious!

Today I visited Douglas bakery with a group of friends and I must say that it is absolutely worth it. As soon as you walk in you immediately smell authentic, artisanal baking. Sausage rolls and steak pies are the best I have tried in Scotland...

Fantastic pies and cakes. Very friendly staff. Takeaway or sit in. Will definitely br back for more.

Very proud of my dad and his bakery, visited multiple times and everything on the menu is 10/10 Gorgeous pies, and the plait bread is to die for. Lovely village and bakery and staff. Well well worth a visit x

Amazing pies and bread. well worth a visit! Closed on Monday and Tuesday which is a shame, so stock up on a Sunday, or go hungry.

Super friendly owner, gave my mum & I a freebie of cornbread, as we turned up just as they’d closed for the day. It made a mean sandwich paired with gammon & mustard. We will be sure to return when we next pass! Thank you!

Great bread cakes and pies, etc; and now soups and drinks too. Served by really friendly staff

It was quite frustrating to find this particular vendor of pie’s, as now I’m compelled to return on a regular basis to buy more, as they are amazingly tasty 😉
