Henderson's Artisan Bakery & Cafe in Wiltshire

Another excellent lunch in Henderson’s. We visit very time we go to Salisbury and lunchtime visits are a special occasion. Service is friendly and efficient , even when they are very busy. This visit my wife had the tomato, mozzarella and pesto panini which was fresh, with a generous tasty filling and accompanied by a light side salad, also fresh and delicious. I went for my staple bacon, Brie and cranberry sandwich on sourdough. The sandwich is packed with great bacon cooked just as I like it and there is lots of Brie and cranberry, also with a side salad. If you are looking for fantastic fresh sandwiches, made to order, then treat yourself to a trip to Henderson’s.

Coffee is great as well as the food! There can be a line at times but it’s worth the wait. Great to be able to grab a morning coffee and pastry and sit outside watching the world go by. Great to be able to take the dogs in and the team are really welcoming.

Special metion to gemma hanah and sophie also given all have exceptional customer service plus the other staff who I don't know there names

Friendly cafe, with quick service. We had homily pie and a delicious salad. Also came in for coffee and bakes earlier. We recommend!

Beautiful courtyard on the plaza seating for a sunny day. Fresh handmade bites. They have coffee etc, but I did not try the coffee to rate it.

Extremely pleasant staff. Very busy but efficient service. Definitely will revisit when in Salisbury

The coffee is very bitter. Probably a cheaper brand

First visit to Henderson’s and it certainly won’t be our last. I had a butterbean hummus and chargrilled vegetable sandwich and my hubby had a BLT. The bread was gorgeous and the sandwiches were huge! Lovely, friendly staff. Enjoyed sitting outside and watching life go by on the market square. Sadly, we were too full after our sandwich to try a sausage roll!

Lovely friendly cafe. Delicious bakery. Very dog friendly.

Coffee outside in the Market Place. A perfect place as long as the Council cleaning device isn't polluting the area with its noisy motor.

Great location on the Market place in Salisbury, great for people watching, we had two lovely hot chocolates and a very good chelsea bun with a nice cinnamon-y taste, would have had our lunch here but unfortunately they closed at 3 that day and it didnt fit with our schedule

I ate an oatmeal and it was great. Latte just right.

Lovely spot in Salisbury. Nice fresh bakes. Enjoyed a cinnamon bun and Iced coffee. Plenty of small tables for little groups.

Lovely bakery / cafe in the square - delicious cream tea

This very popular artisan baker and cafe is one of Salisbury’s gems. We always stop here from coffee when we are in Salisbury. It is great coffee (often accompanied by delicious fresh pastries, savouries or toast - from their own freshly baked bread). Occasionally we also manage to stop for lunch and today was one of those days. I had previously had the bacon, brie and cranberry as a sandwich and it was very tasty. Today I had the same combination in the panini , it was outstanding. Crisp bacon (as requested) oozing warm brie and a generous layer of cranberry sauce, absolutely brilliant. My wife had the tomato, pesto and mozzarella panini and it was also hot, fresh and very tasty. Both panini came dressed with a small, but beautifully fresh salad in a balsamic sauce. If you are in Salisbury this cafe comes very highly recommended. And treat yourself to some of their bread or pastries to take home.

The staff were lovely, but the premises were rough and untidy. The cutlery had been in the dishwasher but no rinse aid obviously looked dirty because it looked spotty, so did not use them. The side salad was pathetic to say the least. What a shame, we will not go there again.

The coffee is excellent and they offer a wide variety of fresh bread and delicious pastries. Additionally, the staff is incredibly friendly and always ready to assist.

Quiche was okay with good salad

Ordered an iced chai latte with oat milk and received a glass with ice cubs in it, a pot of hot chai tea and a small jug of oat milk a la DIY I did not expect that 😆 In addition they do not take cash which is extremely customer unfriendly. Combined with unfriendly staff not a good combo. I will definitely not go back there.

I have been coming to Salisbury for many a year especially for the Chalke Valley History Festival. By chance, I discovered the Artisan Bakery and was immediately taken by their different flans and the unusual but delicious cheese muffins. On more than one occasion I have bought three or four to take home with me (I even have a loyalty card!). Last Monday (June 26), I lost my wallet (at the Festival it transpired later) and after a long morning on the Tuesday trying it track it down I had to visit the Bank and cancel my cards. Cash was all I had left to last the week. Seeking a bit of solace I headed for the Artisan for a cuppa ad a cheese muffin. The tray was ready and I proffered a £10 note. The assistant informed me that they do not accept cash ... I then explained my unusual situation. She called her supervisor/boss over who somewhat aggressively advised me that they do not keep cash on the premises and were a card only shop. I repeated my situation and said that I could pay the boill in full with the correct amount of cash. This offer was ignored and the tray removed from the counter. Nobody seemed to be able to 'think outside of the box' nor treat me as a customer as being someone important. Not a question of what we can do, more a matter of what we can't do. I had to leave with a somewhat embarrassing atmosphere in the room. Went next door but one and had no trouble in obtaining a cuppa plus a muffin - for cash. In fact, I spent the rest of the week at the festival asking 'Do you take cash?' Never heard a 'no' answer. Ps .... will I go to the Artisan again? Not if I see that supervisor behind the counter ... so that is probably one customer that they have lost.

Delicious! I had the caramelized onion quiche and it came with three very nice, fresh salads. The quiche was beautifully flavored and cooked, with a wonderful crust. My husband had the mezze platter and judging from the sounds coming from his side of the table, he was pretty happy with it!! We sat outside under the big tree and soaked up the lovely market square view. Each plate was about 10 UKP which we thought was really good value for money. I'd come back tomorrow if I could and I'd 100% have the quiche again.

Mezze never fails to delight. Yum!

Very slow service, overpriced and bland food. Bread was just regular brown sliced. Unfortunately there are lots of bakeries calling themselves ‘artisan’ these days.

Is there any reason why this place has gone card only payments? Truly annoying and very tempted to cross it over my list of places to visit whilst in Salisbury.

Lovely staff, amazing quiche but terrible coffee.

Great coffee and pleasant staff. Good seating upstairs

Excellent breads prepared in the traditional method - using proper bread making techniques, not the rushed Chorleywood method which nearly all supermarkets supply. Great place to chill and have an excellent coffee and cake - Chelsea or cinnamon buns but the must haves are their hot cross buns. No supermarket can ever match these. Staff always friendly and helpful. Very convenient in Salisbury's Market Square.

Lots of outdoor seating. Popular with locals and tourists - Really good coffee. The croissants are delicious

We had a lovely lunch here yesterday. The bread is delicious, the sandwich fillings are tasty and interesting and the coffee was just right for me. I only gave it four stars as there were no smiles from the staff - were they having a bad day?

Everything on display looked top quality, great selection. I went for the cheddar and garlic swirl - not too heavy and the mushroom, leek and walnut roll - very tasty, great pastry. Service was excellent, prices not bad. The seating outside was a great spot for an afternoon on the square, with the buzz of the market and a really good singer for entertainment.

Nice little cafe on the square in the centre of city where the market is on a Tue and Sat. Unfortunately they have very limited breakfast options but the coffee was very nice and a good size in a nice clean mug. The bacon roll was tasty with good quality roll and bacon but they were a little tight on the bacon. When paying £15 for 2 bacon rolls and 2 coffees I would expect more than 1 layer of puzzle plased bacon if I am honest but overall a nice experience in a lovely city.

I love this place, always good food and great service, served with a smile. My Mum and I stop in here most weeks for lunch and it never disappoints, the quiche is delicious and the salads are made with just the right amount of dressing. Their pastries are just as yummy, highly recommend if you fancy a light lunch or a nice treat. Oh and their coffee is just so smooth and satisfying. Can't recommend them enough.

Frothy cappuccino and a freshly toasted muffin with butter— the perfect way to start the day. The hot chocolate and sausage rolls were good too.

A fabulous artisan bakery that has a small outdoor cafe in the main square. We had good coffee and excellent cheese scones. Efficient and welcoming staff

Great home baked breads, pastries & savouries. Great coffee & staff. Dog friendly and overlooking the market Square

Fresh made sandwich, quiche and sweet bread were all wonderful.

"A delightful haven from the pouring rain and winds " Arrived absolutely soaked to be greeted with friendly staff and boiling hot radiators. Covid secure as spotless. Great coffee, The food absolutely fresh and amazing. Reasonable and realistic prices. Will be back!!!

I ordered a sandwich and got half a loaf. 😆😆😆 Very tasty and reasonably priced. Young friendly staff.

Popped to this little gem for a quick pit stop. Had a delicious apple turnover with a creamy rich hot chocolate and have to say the staff were all so friendly and welcoming. What a delightful place.

Though sometimes come here for coffee outside at tables overlooking the market square, a cold day required hot chocolate; this was good quality with a lovely fresh Chelsea bun to go with it. As always, friendly staff dealing with customers well on a busy morning.

soup was quite bland because of a lack of seasoning, £7.80 for a cup of soup & a bacon roll, wow can't believe I paid that much

Crusty sourdough loaf VERY crusty! A huge hit with my breakfast companions. Great texture and taste!

A great place to get a coffee and a bacon sandwich 😋

Love this little bakery, bought a sausage roll on the way home, it was pure delight, wonderful light flaky pastry filled with delicious sausage meat that had texture and flavour. Look out for the savoury muffins, very yummy.

Bought bread and pastries to take away. The sourdough bread is very good but I was shocked at how salty the croissants were, no sweetness at all. OK, I don't mind less sugar for health reasons but the saltiness was not acceptable. The chelsea buns were also uninspiring.

Polite staff and tasty food the sourdough bread is very tasty bread with a nice crust to it with a good tuna mayo and cucumber filling that didn't go overboard on the mayo eventhough it is a bit overpriced and the menu selection is on the small side ,at £7 for a pot of tea and a sandwich, what they do serve is very tasty and I would come back the next time I'm in the area

Turned up at just after 2 on a sunny Bank Holiday. The staff were friendly and really lovely and it was great to sit out in the square. However, there wasn't much choice of cakes (which surprised me for a bakery) and the cold drink selection was quite poor. Was a little disappointed.

Best coffee in Salisbury and a relaxing place to chill with coffee and a cake . The bread and rolls are excellent,the staff are courteous and friendly and happy to have banter .

On a visit to Salisbury coming out of lockdown we looked around the main City Sq and saw Henderson's full of people , thinking it would be better then the half empty places we decided to queue for a table , it was worth the short wait the food and coffee was very good , pleasant and polite staff with a attention to detail , the tuna sandwiches are very good so are their homemade Quiche .

Best sausage rolls in Salisbury and their lattes are delicious with non-dairy options available. I often buy the focaccia bread as well mmmmm.

Friendly staff, lovely rich coffee and from a previous occasion beautiful quiche (which I would have indulged in on my latest visit had I not just been to the dentist) !!! Sarah hilton Salisbury

Hendersons serves the best Mocha in Salisbury

Great friendly independent bakery and cafe!

My husband had the cheese and chutney and a sausage roll, which he said was the best he had ever had. I had the leek and celeriac sound and roasted veg and butter bean hummus on sour dough. Absolutely delicious and very good value. Oat and soy milk available in hot drinks.

Always a lovely coffee and beautiful bread

Closed early today we felt pressured to drink up

Stopped in for a cup of tea and Chelsea Bun on a chilly damp afternoon. Great service fresh hot tea and lovely bun!

Amazing 👌 latte. Great service. Been everyday this week to have a decent cup of coffee. I also been introduced to Chelsea buns. When in Salisbury this is a must visit. Well done all. 👍 Thankyou for being open all through lock down.

Very poor Latte, could not be really bothered to be open, even though they advertise open on a Monday.

Staff are friendly and food was absolutely gorgeous. The bread was amazing! They even do a vegetarian and vegan option. Not that I'm vegan - but I would highly recommend. Came here with with my mum for lunch and we had a lovely time.

Friendly staff and good coffee at a decent price Would certainly go again if we are in Salisbury In the centre of Salisbury in the square so a good spot to sit and have coffee and watch the world go past

Really nice people serving and super helpful. Got a scone to go and was very reasonable and very tasty would come back in a heartbeat.

Visited today for lunch. Covid precautions in place, and easy to adhere to. Food was very good. I had broccoli and cheddar quiche, which was lovely. Staff helpful and friendly.

What A Joke, arranged to meet some friends here today Monday morning, Web site said open! Typed notice on the door said CLOSED SUN - MON, This Man Who Own's This Establishment Was Recently Featured In A Photo In The Journal, Along Side A Local So Called Member Of The Council, Is Also A Member Of Salisbury Bid. These Sort Of People Do Not Deserve To Succeed, But Lucky For Us Pick -Up Was Open, Great Latte And Pastries, And Really Hard Workers From Greece! Start Buycoting Places That Canot Be Bothered With Serving Us.

I had a tuna and cheese sandwich on ciabatta that was delicious. The bread was so tasty. Staff are super friendly. Located on a nice market square.

Lovely outside seating, table service and good menu. Coffee and cake was very tasty, reasonable pricing.

Thank you so much for delivering bread to my mother in law. She was so pleased to see fresh bread and the brownie was delicious

A regular haunt nowadays both for lunch, just coffee or tea or indeed to collect a weekly wholesale order that we resell in my business. Paul and his team give a friendly welcome and their bread is always delicious, along with all their other homemade items.

Had a cup of tea with a scone with clotted cream and jam here which was quite nice. It was near the end of the day so the scone was starting to get a bit dry but nonetheless still tasted good. The interior is nice with plenty of seating and free WiFi. Staff were also friendly. Overall a nice place for coffee, tea, and some baked goods.

Bread is amazing so is the food they serve, really nice coffee too and friendly staff.

Great bread, pastries and the like. Good light lunches. Charming staff, very good coffee, including non-milk alternatives. You may have to queue, but that's a recognition of quality rather than slow staff.

Delicious every time. Great food and amazing bread. Super friendly people who make great coffee.

Llamado después de la visita al mercado del sábado para el brunch, logró que la mesa estuviera muy ocupada. Sondeado para Eggs Royale que estaba delicioso, huevos escalfados perfectos con salmón ahumado y holandesa. Café de buena calidad que estaba caliente y no lleno de espuma. El personal rápido y atento definitivamente merece una visita, especialmente después de pasear por el mercado

Visitando Salisbury y buscando un lugar para tomar un café, me encontré con el de Henderson. . qué gran descubrimiento, personal amable y servicial, bollo Chelsea para morirse, sándwiches y quiche maravillosos. Me encantó tanto que volví al día siguiente. Es una pena que no esté más cerca de usar que vivo.

Really busy, which is a good sign. Staff very friendly and helpful. Very good menu choices and reasonably priced for fresh, home cooked food.

Love this place while in holidays we got our food from this place was amazing the owner very nice and friendly person def a place to go 🤗🤗🤗🤗

Such a lovely little Artisan bakery. Great cafe inside with additional seating up stairs. Incredible pastries and cakes as well as a good selection of artisan bread

Loving the soups at tue moment, so lovely to have a choice of fresh bread and decent amount of it too! Coffee is just right for me. Staff friendly.

Right by the market place,excellent coffe,friendly staff,outside seating weather permitting,we were lucky

Nice coffee and great watercress and cheddar muffin

Service was not met with a smile. if we are going to part with our hard earned dollars then we would like good customer service, HOWEVER the food is amazing, we cant fault the food in anyway. and it is a very nice clean place. still worth 5 stars due to the food and clean place. we as a group . we will not spit our dummies out and take a star away as the food won us all over . but can only offer average for service by some members of staff. then again we could be punishing good service served by others . oh what do we do.? hang on we as a group go and talk about this again, Back in 5 minutes. OK OK we give full vote on the service as we can not punish others who work hard with customer service. difficult review to write.

I really enjoy eating at Henderson’s, the tea is very nice and so is the coffee. They have really tasty food such as the homity pie and quiches but the cutlery is usually dirty and the young staff are well, not bothered so it doesn’t reassure one with much confidence over their lack of care and consideration for customers (other people). It doesn’t stop me eating there, I just bring my own cutlery!

Leuke bakkerij. Zeer vriendelijk personeel, zelfs bij drukte oprecht geïnteresseerd. Lunch met vers brood. Prima koffie.

I've been a regular over the years and have noticed a gradual decline in service levels. Today was the worst - served by an individual who hardly spoke, was surly and made me feel I was a nuisance. Bad attitude. I appreciate it was approaching closing time, and other customers were told 'we close soon so you'll have to be sure you can finish your drinks in time'. They left and I don't blame them. This is a pity because the coffee is very good and food delicious. So come on Henderson's buck up your customer service!

Friendly, cheerful staff, seats beneath shady trees on the market square, good coffee, freshly made food. What's not to like.

I stopped her for lunch with friends. We each ordered separately, were told that there was a 20 - 30 minute wait. I was surprised as the menu seems to be sandwiches or salads. I know the bread is freshly baked, so I guess we were at a time when it had run out. All but one of us got our food quickly, & she had to wait ages. Luckily the food is delicious, though I'd suggest having the different breads, & not the rolls, as you get more for your money. I would go back, but have a different sandwich.

Very friendly staff and lovely wholemeal scone with cream tea. Good quality ***

Called in here for a quick lunch. Service was good, the waitress carried out our order while chatting to an acquaintance of hers in the queue behind us, for which I can't fault her, as it didn't seem to slow her down! We sat outside, not a bad place to watch the world go by. I had a slice of homity pie and my partner had a panino. The food was delicious but we both felt the main part of the meal was a little on the small side and the salad too much in comparison. I could have eaten slightly more pie and slightly less coleslaw - but then I suppose it would cost more than the very reasonable £5.95 I paid. Drinks (tea and coffee) were good. Finally, from the other side of the building on Minster Street you can see right into the kitchen which is fascinating!

lovely decaf cappuccino and a pot of english breakfast tea for a late morning family rendezvous. the food looked delicious too.

Great independent bakery/cafe, good coffee and tasty hot cross buns. Will certainly return when next in Salisbury

A really lovely little cafe/bakery. Such a friendly group of people working here giving really great service & delivery excellent food.

Very nice and friendly staff. Good selection of breads and food.

Lovely and friendly place to go. Its an old fashion bakery and not a chain. So nice and friendly staff. A defiant to go back to.

Fabulous independent business to be supported

We didn't eat in - we bought sandwiches for our walks and also bread. utterly delicious - great service even though they were very busy. Immaculate establishment.

Have been for lunch here many times and the am always impressed by the constant quality of the food and service. Everything Paul and his team sells is made there and it's always delicious. His Chelsea buns are to die for and the light lunches are delicious and very well priced. It's a hidden gem of Salisbury and is definitely worth a visit.

Have been in here a few times now. The combination of bakery for so-called artisan bread (doesn't matter what you call it - its very good!), sandwiches and panini plus the usual full range of coffee works well.Nice to be able to support something that isn't a chain and nice views over the Salisbury Market Square as well.

We had some time to spare around lunch time and wanted a light lunch and a cuppa. We had visited Henderson's before and enjoyed our visit so we were happy to go again. We both had Homity Pie and it was great.

Best mocha and delicious baked goods. Chelsea bun highly recommended.

Great bakery, hot drinks, outdoor seats on market square
