Grants Bakery & Coffee House in Northumberland

Love coming here! Always delicious! Staff are always so friendly, was served by a young man (didn’t catch his name) but was lovely!

Fantastic cakes. If you don't mind the price

Everyone should eat here at least once in their life. Delicious food and top staff. TREAT YOURSELF!!!!!

Finest quality products good enough to rival the CentraI Cafe in Vienna - YES that good. I searched high and low for some Frangipanes as my wife hadn't had 1 for years and was really keen to find some. Ordering was easy and communication from Andrew was excellent. Products very well packaged for courier delivery and arrived in tip top condition. I have a very happy wife. Thank you to Andrew and team.

The food looks as amazing as ever but the service was so slow I had to leave the queue after 10 minutes and only moving up 2 spaces... I feel so sorry for the staff as they are juggling takeaway food orders as well as making the food for cafe orders - it would be much better having set staff for set jobs. I'm gutted I missed out on grabbing the delicious cakes to take home, but no takeaway cake is worth 30 minute + wait in a queue.

Nov'24 now extended to a cafe. Service even slower - over half an hour to buy bread due to having to queue with cafe customers. Staff very slow. No fresh bread on Sunday!Prices have increased again. 2023 Very expensive bakery which seems to be specializing more and more on cakes. Some of the most expensive pasties and pies are sold here. Despite the price quality is good - just value for money that is lacking. 2022 - Quality still very good in the main with a couple of exceptions - custard tart too set! & quiche a bit bland - prices have risen again!

Delicious pastries and savoury items, now to eat in with a coffee or takeaway. The outside tables area is a great addition to Corbridge.

Absolutely amazing! Most impressive patisserie I’ve ever seen!!

Lovely little patisserie in a beautiful village, a variety of different pastries and sandwiches, it was really busy when u went but service is quick and you get served pretty quickly, parking was the only issue but I would definitely visit again.

A visit to Corbridge is not complete without a visit to Grant's Bakery! It's actually the only reason I go to Corbridge... Shhhh, don't tell anyone!

Wow! We visited here on a weekend away and were not disappointed. We got two pastries, two cakes and 2 sandwiches all of which were amazing quality and taste! Apple crumble croissant- wow! Cannot recommend enough if you are passing.

I have been a few times for a proper judgement. A very nice local busy place that offers a huge selection of desserts (definitely a good patisserie chef) and bakery stuff. They serve savoury as well (love the burata and olive pizza), but a bit of more variety is needed for vegetarian or pescaterian sandwiches. However, to enrich the experience, they need to work a lot on their coffee and training staff on coffee making, particularly considering their coffee price, one would expect a proper barista coffee - if you love your coffee ☕️.

It’s changed, and honestly, four around 30 minutes of queuing I’m disappointed. If you order a slice of pie to go, that’s all you get, a cold wedge of dry pie shoved in a bag, no gravy. They no longer seem to do the hot sandwiches with meat and gravy. It all seems well made so it’s a bit of a shame that the delivery is so underwhelming. Probably won’t be back!

Looks great the shop and smells just draw u in.

Award winning bakery for a Reason,Their desserts are nothing short of extraordinary, with a perfect balance of flavor, texture, and artistry. Each bite is a true indulgence, making it clear why this bakery stands out above the rest.

This is a place where dreams are made. Extremely difficult to choose what you want, could quite easily have bought it all. Almond croissants are to die for. The cheese scones are divine. The lass who served us was lovely. Will be visiting again!

Unreal! A definite visit. Make sure you have willpower…This place is irresistible.

This gad the most amazing cakes. Sandwiches look good also. The coffee is very nice, tastes good and smooth, and has no bitterness.

Wow amazing selection of cakes and savoury foods

Best and biggest cakes I've seen

We were visiting Corbridge Roman Town and my husband decided to investigate places nearby for lunch. Well he found an absolute cracker. Predominately a bakery and patisserie with a few tables to eat in. We bagged a table outside the front feeling very continental and overlooking the pretty church and small market square. I went in to order and whilst there was a little wait this was just because each customer was treated with individual care and attention. We ordered sandwiches, cakes and hot drinks everything came to £33 which we thought was very reasonable considering the quality. The staff were delightful especially Julie (I think) the assistant manager who served us. The food was delicious especially the Peach Melba which seemed to defy the laws of physics by having fondant icing on top of whipped cream without collapsing. Highly recommend!

Absolutely love this place and make it a mission to go there whenever I'm in Corbridge.everything is delicious.it is expensive but worth every penny .

yes, this'll do nicely thanks 😋😋

Me and my friends have been wanting to visit this bakery for a while and I'm glad we did. The food is beautifully presented and tasted just as good as it looks. The staff were lovely, Lucy especially looked after us and her customer service skills were excellent.We hope to come back soon :)

Fabulous shop with some amazing cakes bought 2 cakes to take away banoffe pie and chocolate cheesecake, not the cheapest just over £10 but worth the money. There is also a cafe with inside and outside seating. If in the area would definitely go again.

Unbelievable food customer service was on point

Always busy but great food ...great cakes for the sweet tooth 😁

Quaint little bakery in a lovely northern village. Choosing what you want will be the hardest part. Friendly staff. Prices aren’t Greggs, but neither is the quality. • Carrot cake • Cumberland sausage roll • Coffee • Tea Total: £20.14

Pricey but amazing. Lovely seating area outside with dog parking. Amazing choice of pastries, cakes and sandwiches. Great coffee too.

Worth queuing for! Beautiful bakery with nice staff. It is expensive but delicious.

Stopped by as saw some reviews on Google and it's just as amazing as it looks online. Got some seats on the outside but they also have indoor seating too. The quality of the food is amazing and worth every penny. Expect a little queue on a weekend but it might be under 5 minutes or so.

Lovely bakery/cafe in Corbridge. Great to pop in for a bacon sandwich or pastry/cake and coffee after walking the dog. Dog-friendly inside or out.

Their cakes and their bakes looked ok but the taste was ordinary. After trying some really nice local patisseries in Newcastle, this was a disappointment.

Wow! Cakes and pastries are amazing. Easy to see why this is an award winning bakery. i

We popped in today on the way back from our holidays, it's the first time we've visited since the cafe opened so was good to see what it was like. There was quite a long wait to be served, but nothing too major, there seemed to be a problem as they'd run out of milk!!! Anyway we bought a sandwich and drink to eat in and cakes to take home, whilst ordering the lady serving us seemed a little distracted but our food came and was really tasty. However the huge disappointment was when we opened the box of cakes when we got home my husbands was totally wrong, he had ordered key lime pie but had received a tart with raspberries, meringue and a macaron on...all sound lovely but he really dislikes meringue and macarons, so wouldn't eat it. Not a huge issue but when we live an hour away we can't just pop back. Food in the cafe was great though!

The cakes are to die for only wish had purchased more. Pity no one e more local to where I live.

I had big expectations as the shop was very busy. We went predominantly for tipsy cake which was ok but very expensive at almost £10. The cakes looked amazing but I am afraid style over substance. As a regular baker of cakes myself was looking forward to a treat. At £5.50 on average for a single cake I was expecting a decadent experience. The strawberry Tart's pastry was very hard. I understand it has to withhold the fillings but I almost lost mine. Peach Melba was so sweet there was no other taste. I am genuinely sad to give this review.

The cakes from Grants Bakery are little works of art, as if painted! It's lovely to sit outside the door and enjoy the scenery of Corbridge with a pot of tea and a piece of cake.

Cakes look amazing but unfortunately not one Vegan cake available

Just tried a banoffee ,,, wow , easily the best I ever had , fantastic, just a shame I live in carlisle, a hour away ,, will be worth the drive when I want my next one ,, beautiful thanks

Lovely Bakery in the beautiful village of Corbridge. Very popular and can get busy, but well worth the wait. So much to choose from, luxury cakes, sandwiches and pastries. Savoury selection is very popular with the hubby! Cakes are packed in boxes to take away Quite pricey but the quality is amazing. We visit often, mostly on a weekend We love Corbridge Parking is available but often all spaces are taken so be prepared to wait or park elsewhere and walk Vegetarian sandwiches are not available very often which is disappointing (we don’t all like meat!) The shop has recently upgraded so there is now a seated cafe again very popular and busy

Words can’t describe how good this place is. I would recommend this bakery to everyone I came across. We will certainly be back. The bakery is in a beautiful town, so why don’t you go and explore and pop into Grants.

Everything is absolutely delicious and extremely well presented. You can sit outside with doggies, and service was really polite. Highly recommend 👌

Very busy bakery the food is lovely and fresh. I had the cheese savoury sandwich it was nice

Small place but packed with a ton of cakes and pastries. Big thick sausage rolls and tasty cakes I would highly recommend visiting here. Parking is a nightmare so park up on the hill for free then walk down. Nice staff here and nice clientele.

Nice place for a pastry and cake. Little on the expensive side but is worth it.

We just found this bakery by passing by and we came back next day as well...what a delicious pastries and danishes...

Wow this place was amazing. The quality of the cakes and sandwiches reminded me of some of the places in Paris. The staff were friendly and it was a great place to chill and people watch. I went for a biscoff cheesecake which was perfect. The Mrs opted for a strawberry meringue. Both of us really enjoyed the cakes and coffee's. We were also given some monkey bread for free which was very nice, we had it back at home for a late afternoon treat. We'll definitely be returning.

Its the best shop in the vicinity!!, lots to choose from sandwiches, pastries and the cakes are something else, recently been refurbished to accomodate sit in cafe area!everything is top class except for the lack of parking!.

Excellent recently extended coffee shop/ tea room. Had takeaway cakes which were delicious.

An amazing bakery!!!! We stopped off here during our coast to coast cycle challenge. They have an amazing selection of cakes and pastries and we had some lovely treats. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. I would highly recommend Grants Bakery without hesitation.

A great range of delicious treats. Hazardous to the waist. 🐷

We were in Corbridge for a week, and after going to Grant's on the first or second day, we went back again every day after that. The breadxand other baked goodsxare of the highest quality. We think this may have been the best bakery we've ever been to. I just wish we were more local, but I'm sure we can engineer a reason to be nearby again sometime soon.

Fantastic place to visit! Good choice of sandwiches & more cakes than you can imagine! Clean, efficient & lovely staff.

I can’t comment on the service as I didn’t receive any. I waited in a queue, everything looked very nice the lady in front commented that she could have eaten her cake by the time she was served as there seemed to be lots of staff standing about but not lots serving. I was only after wholemeal bread and was happy to wait but when it got to my turn the lady serving just completely ignored me and started serving the people behind me. I had already started saying what I was after so was quite embarrassed actually I said excuse me I think I was next ‘oh she indicated that someone else was serving me the person in question turned round and looked confused as she hadn’t been. So I just said it’s fine it doesn’t matter and left. It doesn’t take much to follow who is next in the queue and to not ignore people so as I said I can’t comment on the service as I received non!

Discovered this gem today! Amazing selection of desserts ,staff were super friendly and welcoming!👍🙂

This is a brilliant, well run bakery with very tasty cakes, pastries, filled baps and savoury pies. Very good service. I want to give it 6 stars. Cherry Frangipane with a proper cherry - yum.

Amazing 'niche' bakery. Expensive, but decent portions and Amazing flavours.

It’s always a disappointment coming here with friends/family. The cakes, sandwiches etc all look amazing but with a dairy allergy nothing is suitable. Each time I have requested a bacon/ sausage sandwich but without butter to be told they can’t do that despite them being labeled as made fresh. It’s another example of a shop that doesn’t cater to a vegan / allergy diet.

Fantastic bakery, the cakes are amazing, omg didn't know what to choose, the sandwich look amazing, the staff are very friendly

Excellent choice of delicious cakes but poor coffee. A flat white has less coffee and more warm milk than a typical latte.

Wonderful bread and cakes and lovely staff. The almond croissants are top tier and the carrot cake was unreal. Everything is beautiful. I took a star off of atmosphere only due to the number of cars directly outside. Inside everything was great with an amazing selection of items on display and nice seating to the side. Definitely recommend but be prepared to do a couple of laps of the streets to find a parking space.

Located in Corbridge, Northumberland, Grants is a local institution offering a wide choice of pastries. The peach melba was particularly good.

The level of baking and food available is really second to none. It now offers a small cafe section which is finished to the same impeccable standard. It is worth a special trip into Corbridge to treat yourself to some cakes as the range and presentation is fantastic. The prices reflect the quality of the products but if you have the means it's worth it. Everything I pass on the A68/9 I'm drawn in the direction of the town, which is worthy of a visit anyway. Use the free car park over the Tyne bridge and walk over, even if it's a few calories it will help address the significant intake from your cake of choice.

Wow what a find…gorgeous selection of cakes and breads..well worth a visit and well recommend

Ice cream wasn't even ice cream £2 50 for 99% water and 1 flavourless ice cream

Custard tart was delicious but the glazed apple tart was heaven itself.

Exceptional Deli. No wonder there’s often queues there. Worth the wait though.

Gosh, what a find the bakery was. Has to be the best cream cake I have ever had (Biscoff Eclair). Unfortunately we were visitors to Corbridge but I can see our visits to Corbridge becoming a frequent occurrence.. absolutely fantastic!

Peach Melba and fruit tart ,best ever .Everything else looked good 👍 👍👍👍👍

Strawberry Tarts are delicious

Just looks nice but nothing tasted good and was worth the price. Too oily! £30 not well spent at all!

Mouth watering, definitely not for weight watchers followers, but a nice treat. Will definitely be visiting again.

Fantastic bakery! We went back twice because it was so good and I wanted some cakes to take home. The Lemon Meringue Tart is to die for! Such friendly people too, I'll visit again when we come back to Northumberland

The most amazing bakers I have seen. Everything is delicious and exceptional to look at. Would definitely recommend a trip. Believe me you will be back for more. I was.

Firstly. I will say the shop itself is stunning. As is the choice of baked goods. Phenomenal actually. I came away with a brioche type bake which is lovely and the coffee is good. However my concern lies in the lack of training in allergens. The law today does dictate all staff should not only be trained in this field but also "You must provide allergen information if you sell or provide food to your customers directly. This could be either: full allergen information on a menu, chalkboard or in an information pack. verbally, with a written notice placed in a clearly visible position explaining how your customers can obtain this information." Also "Food businesses must make sure that staff receive training on allergens." I can appreciate the worry of serving someone food who has allergies. However, pretty much every single food item I buy for my weekly food shop generally says "may contain nuts" on whatever. So as an anaphylactic sufferer, I don't expect many places to be able to say they don't handle nuts. But I do expect clear and concise allergens to be stated as outlined above by the UK law. Nothing was provided accept a small receipt looking thing that the young lad looked at and for me to be told "everything" has nuts in it. And the safest one bet was the brioche. 1 thing out of a bakery that sells well over 40 items. Please follow the laws and if you do have something in place that I wasn't shown, then please update your staff. Unfortunately I felt the staff just weren't ready for someone with allergies. I felt let down.

Definitely the best bakery in the North East...desserts are lush, I would like to try all of them😋

An amazing shop full of beautifully presented cakes, sandwiches etc. Wandered up into Corbridge early (7am) on Saturday morning to grab a coffee and Croissant and the staff are very friendly and welcoming. Would highly recommend if only to window shop 😂

Excellent bakery always visit whenever we are in Corbridge. Friendly staff and reasonable prices sells everything you would expect in a bakery and plenty of treats to try.

Unreal, best cakes around by miles 😋 Friendly staff too and so easy to spend so much on all there beautiful treats and even savory stuff!

Corbridge is one of my favourite places to visit with family, and each time we go we make sure to stop by Grants bakery. The cakes and pastries really are a work of art and always have so much taste! I can’t wait to spend many more years visiting both Corbridge and Grants.

The best sausage Roll and Carrot cake I’ve ever tasted. Both 10/10. Don’t mind paying good money for great products. Perfection

Massive selection of sweet and savoury bakes. Everything we tried was delicious!

Overrated and overpriced. The peach melbas are 70% cream, 15% icing, 10% pastry and a paltry portion of "tinned" peach. The strawberry tart was very disappointing. I can bake tastier better bread myself. The pork pie was delicious. Service was without a smile, a please or a thank you. I wont be returning.

What a fantastic place for cakes

Family mentioned, so went to Town for Lunch at Black Bull, then Grants for Desert.......Travelled an hour away to saviour these delights......worth the visit, but at same time expect to pay more than what you would spend....As i say 'worth the visit, for the mouth watering fillings'

Very disappointed on seeing they had won awards I thought why not try it. I bought a raspberry and chocolate scone which was stodgy and undercooked

Fabulous bakery. This could easily grace Piccadilly or Paris. Totally of the First Order.

The prices make my mortgage look small, and the food wasn’t even worth it. My pasty was dry and unappetising, and my boyfriend got food poisoning from the sausage roll not heated up properly. Don’t waste your time and money.

The cakes in here are outstanding! They are beautiful to look at and they taste divine. If you want something special to savour with a cup of tea this is the place to go.

We called in here on our way to Lumley Castle, what a delightful place, we were only there for a couple of days but we called in on three more occasions before returning home to Australia. We’ll be back on our next visit.

Finally visited,shop was busy,very cramped,couldn't see what was on offer as people where in front of the display cabinets,got our food and i can honestly say hand on heart the food was nothing special,freezing cold sausage sarnie,egg custard tart that tasted bland and more like a quiche,my mam wanted 2 mince pies,when we got home the lad who served her had gave her 2 sweet mince pies instead even though she had pointed to others,he seemed very pressured behind the counter,i tried the sweet mince pies and can honestly say ive tasted better from greggs...over all disappointed massively.

I would just like to say thank you to one of your staff. Unfortunately I didn't grab her name but I was scraping my car this morning trying to get the ice off and she came over and offered to put some hot water on my windscreen. Honestly I cannot thank her enough for just helping me get to work thar bit quicker this morning. Please pass on my praises to her, she was an absolute gem :)

Chatty staff lovely selection of cakes. The Christmas Cake square is divine.

Some yummy things in here, ladies need to brush up a bit on what they have on display and what the ingredients are. But I dare you to come out empty handed

Nice Bakery... with fabulous cakes!

We visited today, and while the products all looked excellent, we felt a little in the way as a member of staff was moving around the shop with a clipboard and kept asking us to move while we waited to be served. Where-ever we moved too we were in the way and had to move again. Order a few items, got home to find rather than 2 sausage rolls we had 1. We should have learned after our last visit where we ordered 2 cheese scones and got home to only find 1. (Both times we’d ordered a few different items so aren’t sure if we were charged for 1 or 2 items.) Maybe some basic numeracy training for your staff would be beneficial, as counting to 2 shouldn’t really be a stretch! If you’re visiting to purchase, check you’ve got what you ordered before driving home, in our case 30 minutes away! PS the little “Grants” logos on the strawberry tarts aren’t actually edible, they are cardboard. But when left on the strawberry tart I assumed it was an edible printed wafer. Really don’t understand why they have the card on them if not edible!

I asked for a sourdough loaf was charged 3.46 it wasnt sourdough at all, when i arrived at my destination some 40 minutes away it appears it was a standard cob white loaf. I can only tolerate sourdough. Staff training... and while you are training them on the products, you might suggest they smile and say hello wouldn't go a miss

Cakes are amazing, pricey, but well worth it.

We stopped here for lunch while we were passing through Colbridge and it was lovely. There is such a brilliant choice of savoury and sweet options and they all look delicious. Everything was a decent price and really good portions so we got a few things. I would travel all the way back just for the frangipane tart!
