Very good cakes. Always have a laugh. Sometimes passes a Bath Bun out on a try to the queue, it is warm and lovely. Cakes aways bigger than anywhere else.

Just arrived off the coach ... in need of snacks ... spotted a long queue of people outside a small artisan bakers ... looked in through the window and saw the most amazingly huge buns and cakes, sausage rolls, cornish pasties to die for etc etc ... i joined the queue ... and once inside the shop which only has room for 4 people (lol) was mesmerised by the man working behind the counter ... v. v. interesting face like an ageing rock-star ... hair in a pony tail ... intense eyes that looked into the eyes of every customer ... and very lovely banter that screamed "it's showtime!!!" and started off with "well hello there!!!" : ))) i was completely hooked ... if i lived there i would have to go in the shop every day just to watch the performance ... my experience only lasted 5 minutes but it will be with me for a lifetime!!! thank you for turning a day at the seaside into a special little experience! : )))

Wow! What can I say? Absolutely amazing bread, cakes and sweet treats. We visited one morning and bought some crusty rolls to take back to our caravan on a wet and windy day in Hunstanton. Of course we couldn’t leave without sampling some of the cakes too. As a family we had a Belgian bun, (which was bigger than my head!) fresh cream iced fingers, a huge rocky road, bread pudding and a gingerbread man. Everything was absolutely delicious and lasted us a few days as they’re so big! Mr Bun was so friendly and spoke to everyone who came in. I loved his banter. He asked my three year old if the gingerbread man was for her and when she said yes, he snuck a second one in the bag free of charge. My husband visited the following week as he was on a work trip and I asked him to bring me back another Belgian bun. Couldn’t get enough! We will definitely be back on our next holiday at the end of the month!

Tasty cakes and pastries. Highly recommend the big custard tarts and huge Bath buns. Avoid the millionaire pastry unless you have a very sweet tooth! Eccles cakes are different with plenty of raisins. Nice baker.

Visted on 24th May. Nothing wrong with the cakes but the man serving was inappropriate with his so-called banter. I am quite easy going but was shocked at what he said. He needs to reign it in as he went too far. Won't be coming back.

Rude man serving behind the counter, thinks he's funny but is actually a prize git. Tried to upsell me more expensive cakes. Only go if you like being insulted by unpleasant banter.

Every time we visit Hunstanton going here is a must. This time we went every day for 7 days the cakes are simply delicious, freshly made and friendly staff. I noticed this time that they diddnt have any Lardy cake out so after several days I asked if they did it anymore. They do but normally only to order and kindly said if I wanted one they could do it and I could go back in a couple of hours and get one. Sadly we couldn’t go back but I’ll know for my next visit. They are just so helpful. Definately worth a visit.

I think I must have caught him on a bad day, I popped in before heading home, so pretty early in the morning, I brought a white split tin and some hot cross buns. I was really looking forward to these when we got home only to be really disappointed, everything was stale which confused me as it was hot when I bought them. There are no prices on anything and I suspect I paid over the odds for not being a local. Maybe my expectations were too high.

We called in on the off chance as passing as the cakes looked lovely, and we were not disappointed!! My wife had a millionaires shortbread, and all I can say it took her 3 times to eat it all. Superb, large, and fresh. The gentleman who served was polite, friendly and very helpful. Call in!!

Having just rambled 7 miles on the beach we were in need of refreshment; the queue for the chip shop was horrendous so we popped round the corner to Mr Bun and part-took of a variety of his home-baked goodies. All super-sized as normal and all very tasty!

Wow what an impressive selection of bread & cakes & they are the biggest cakes I have ever seen! I had a millionaire’s shortbread slice, it was delicious & took me three sittings to eat it! It was only £2 so amazing value. Friendly service too - what more could you ask for?! A visit to this shop is a must if you’re in Hunstanton.

Passing by we saw the flyer in the window re afternoon teas and as we were staying in a nearby cottage thought it’d be a good idea.The picture shows what you get for 6 people! (One box = 2 people).Needless to say nobody went hungry. Great selection of pastry’s, savouries and sweets! All very tasty.Highly recommended for something similar or a takeaway picnic.Easy to order in shop or via Facebook and friendly staff.

Just popped into sunny hunny and decided to take home lunch. Hot, fresh, yummy pasties and lovely cake. The Belgian buns will feed 4! I had a whoopie pie - very nice. They are totally Covid friendly, you don’t go in the shop but order and collect from a service area in the doorway and contactless card available.

Has a great selection of Bread , Buns, Cakes, Pasties and Sausage rolls. The service was very friendly and he was very good at selling all what they had to offer - we all loved the ring donuts filled with jam, the Norfolk Pasties they sell are worth a trip alone . The iced buns which is one of their biggest lines are great. We tried quite a few things there and went more than once a day. It’s also open early from after 630am and closes early afternoon so if you get up early it’s well worth a visit.

I received a couriered hamper from Mr Bun the Baker in Hunstanton today, and it was exceptional. A huge variety, super fresh and delicious baked goods, and really well packaged, both individually and as a whole (nothing squashed in transit). I’m really impressed and very grateful to them for their care and attention.

The cakes and bread in this establishment are really nice, especially the iced buns. But on the negative side, everything is so over priced.

Working in Hunstanton I had heard about this superb little bakers selling all kinds of goodies. Checked it out and wow, what a surprise. So much to choose from, so much cholesterol overdose! Well, you only live once so decided to get supplies to take home. Everything seems to be about £2 a slice, well chunk really. Better value and choice than Greggs and freshly made. Fresh cream cakes, savoury, breads and everything for those with a sweet tooth! Well worth a visit.

A MUST if you go to Hunstanton. But expect a queue and quite right too as it is fantastic and worth the wait. You are spoilt for choice. They look amazing. Constant baking going on. Fresh bread. Tea and coffee and a little seating outside. I wish I could get locked in here to be honest. I’d probably stay out for a week. Fantastic. Loved it.

The inside of the shop was hot and steamy as usual as they were making bread ... half the charm of this place is queuing in the tiny shop and looking at all the cakes, scones and breads on sale ... and wondering how many you can buy without appearing greedy.

Very disappointed as this shop looked OK from outside. We were served by a man who, when he came out from behind the counter, was wearing a filthy, stained T shirt and really dirty jeans and he looked like he had just come in from gardening. We had already asked for our cakes before he came round otherwise I wouldn’t have bought them. He then proceeeded to pick up the cakes from the window with his bare hands which were none too clean. I was shocked that he didnt wear gloves or use tongs. He then took our cash with the same ungloved hands!

We stopped in to Mr Bun to get some dessert after our fish and chips. The shop front, while relatively small, was packed with quality baked goods and treats. The service was good, and the products yummy. We had an apple strudel which was well filled, pleasantly sweet, and wrapped in a very nice pastry. My wife had an individual serving cheese cake which actually would have made two servings. The cheese filling was really creamy, yet firm, and the base was thick. The tick base did not mean they had scrimped on the cheese though. This was first rate. Allowing for the high quality and large serving sizes, this is excellent value for money as well.

Our family turned up en masse for something to warm us up on a chilly Boxing Day walk. We were delighted to find this small shop open - with a wonderful display of cakes and goodies in the window... tempting even after plenty of Christmas treats! Service was a bit stretched with ten of us all wanting something different but very friendly and welcoming. The coffee and hot chocolate were great and the cakes freshly made (even on a public holiday just after Christmas!) and delicious.

As regular customers for lunch on Saturdays my partner and I have noticed that the service has got worse. If the owner isn’t there, the young staff who despite doing their best, leave customers for ages before taking orders and don’t notice when customers need them. Today we received our beers but no glasses, then we waited 50 mins for 2 basic mains and a side dish, they came followed by our cutlery. The food is good and the staff are lovely but it’s clear there weren’t enough doing front of house and probably the kitchen, as we weren’t alone waiting ages today. We want to support it as an independent restaurant but the really slow service is putting us off.
