Newells Bakery in Gwynedd

Delicious baked goods. Chelsea buns are my favourite but the kids love the cakes and iced buns. We get our rolls and bread from Newells every time we visit Porthmadog, wish we had a bakery like it at home!

We called I twice when we were in the are as cakes looked good & really tasty .We had strawberry & custard tart jam & cream scone custard & cream donuts and strawberry & cream donuts Several brownie type treats too including salted caramel ,honey combe .All very tasty

My wife and I called in the shop for a sausage roll and a pastie for lunch and very nice they were too also bought a large whole meal loaf to bring home and that also is lovely the lady very friendly would definitely call again …… she did seem a bit puzzled when I told her I cannot get a large uncut whole meal were we live all the bakeries I have tried only do the small whole meal any one else have the same dilemma ?… so well done Newells Bakery👍

Absolutely fantastic cream doughnut,egg/mayo bap,sausage,stuffing,chicken role. Very good prices,best bakery for a long time.

Reviewed this bakery last year, their custard donuts were the best ever. Couldn’t wait to buy them again, this year, and can confirm my original review still stands. Have also tried their lemon meringue pie and their Eccles cakes, this year. All I can say is WOW. The lemon meringue is just like Mum used to make and the Eccles cake reminded me of Miss Thomas, who had a bakery in Ruthin( Roberts and Thomas), where I had a Saturday job in the 60s. The best I have tasted since then. Stacks of currants in a crispy pastry, fat parcel. Their bread is also really good! Thank you so much.

Fabulous custard doughnuts put in a box so they don’t get squashed. Very yummy and loads of filling .

We stopped off here to buy some treats before boarding the nearby steam train. Absolutely delicious cakes including a rhubarb and cherry slice, carrot cake and a fresh cream jam doughnut. All very fresh and full of flavour. They went down a treat, would highly recommend.

We went on a family trip to Porthmadog today and stopped by the bakery for a quick snack, in the early afternoon. 2 family members went in separately adhering to COVID restrictions allowing only one customer at a time and both experiences were similar in relation to the service, which supports that the poor service cannot have been an isolated incident. My family member was ignored upon entry and the assistant had to be called for attention despite being seen entering the shop and being the only customer in there. The only words that left the assistants mouth were the cost of the scones, which in my opinion “had seen better days” and were displayed in an unappealing manner in the shop window. Basically looked like they’d been thrown at the tray in the display as opposed to being presented neatly in an bid to make them look appealing. Payment in cash was taken with a look of disgust and change was received with the same grimace. There were no signs or requests to pay by card only, if this had been requested, we would have kindly accommodated. My experience was no better! I reviewed the slightly pathetic selection of pasties and savoury options and settled for purchasing what I was told upon enquiry were 2 steak bakes. I was handed a bag with two stone cold pasties and asked if they could be heated up. I agreed to pay the extra 20p and In front of my eyes and to my disbelief, the two pasties were basically thrown in the microwave in the same bag and heated. I was given an extra paper bag to transfer the overheated pasty myself. By the time I retrieved the pasties they were hot, soggy and the bottom one emerged looking like a flat pack wardrobe from IKEA. The top one was barely edible, the bottom one was inedible and there was not one single piece of steak or meat to be seen. To be frank we were not expecting silver service as it was a bakery (quick, cheap, basic food) but a friendly welcome and something that looked somewhat appealing would have been nice. I’m so shocked that a person that works daily with people and is meant to have basic people skills let alone customer service skills could be so rude and unwelcoming. I’ve never written a review before but this experience was so terrible it had to be done!

Popped in to get a few snacks and treats. Woman serving was not very welcoming, unfortunately. Nice few sweet treats on offer but hardly any savouries. Would recommend the chocolate eclair!

I walked into this bakery and could smell fresh bread being baked and other delicious foods being made mm mm the lady behind the counter was great, a real nice friendly person and genuine. I purchased a pastie to go and a fresh cream cake mm mm Lord stunning mm mm. this is what a bakery is supposed to be like.

Purple Moose brewery own the pub and sell the best range of award winning beers with nice friendly staff. Nicely decorated.

We bought sour dough loaf and baguette which looked delicious, although I noticed the loaf was very heavy and flat. All the bread was dense and flat - caused probably by high-heat cooking or not being sufficiently proved. It was totally inedible and went out to the birds.Most disappointed.

We came upon this on the High Street by chance but very glad we did. Bakery is small but smells gorgeous when you walk inside. Friendly staff and delicious hot sausage rolls.

Place was small. Smells and goods were delicious. Such a wide variety to choose from!!!! Staff was very friendly and knew what ingredients was in each baked treat. Will definitely visit again!!

we always visit here every day of the week when on our holiday at greenacres lovely tasty treats . cakes are the best. my daughter enjoys the sprinkle ice buns.

Got a custard tart from here whist on holiday and it was excellent, what more can you say? Friendly staff and quick service.

saw the items in the window and went in to see more.if you like custard tart and lemon cake this is the place for you.large tarts very nice.

Middle of the high street, great choice,bread ,delicious cakes,pasties and sandwhiches,they do tend to sell out by mid afternoon though,get in early.

Yo entramos en esta pequeña panadería en la mañana del jueves, ya que me quería comprar un regalo para mi dulce fresco de mi esposo. Había mucho para elegir, pero al final elegí un flan de huevo tarta de horneado (mediano) que cuesta £1. 60. El individuo pequeñas costo: 60 pence cada una. La mujer que me atendio no era muy acogedor (no sonrisa). Sin embargo, notamos que más tarde mi marido disfrutó de su postre. Tenía un montón de nuez moscada rallada en la parte superior.

We stopped by to pick up some rolls and cakes for lunch. Good choice of both. In particular, the bakewell tart was delicious - traditional recipe and home-made.

Best bread in all of Wales and don't get me started on the Chelsea buns! Fantastic little bakery, well worth a visit

Caminamos por un sábado por la tarde para ver algunas tartas hermosamente atractiva en la ventana.

Tienda atractiva. El personal no era servicial. Sólo 3 o'clock, pero no pan slice como "habian limpiado la máquina". Tienda era cerrar en media hora. Hombre a pedido pasty será calentado y estaba hecho con ningún intento de proporcionar un servicio

Fuimos a esta panadería varias veces durante las vacaciones en la zona. Hacen los mejores bollos de Chelsea que he probado nunca. Me gustaban mucho y comimos más de lo que debería haber. Todo lo que probamos de esta panadería era precioso. Yo recomendaría esta...

If you're after speciality breads, then you will find all you want here. We bought some spelt and some extra dark rye bread which were amazing. It's also the perfect place for tea, coffee and cakes. Prices are amazingly low, but the produce is amazingly high quality.

Lovely place with lovely desserts and bread ,this place is so underated ,deserves so much more attention.Love the staff as well ,so polite

We bought bread, scone with cream and here...all absolutely delicious. A very nice traditional bakery and worth supporting

Excellent range of baked goods and the best Barabrith we have ever had. And I have had a few. At the time we visited they did not take cards so bring cash, I suggest you first do reconnaissance as the range is vast, then go to the cash point.

The cakes and bread are baked close by at Criccieth and come in fresh each day - people start waiting for it should the van be later than usual. There is a variety of different types of loaf for which people living at a distance come in and buy several to freeze. You'll find traditional cakes - donuts, custard tarts, scones, cream cakes all at reasonable prices. Its loved by the locals and at one time Newell's had a cafe next door now sadly gone. Great asset to the town and an independent trader.

During our week in porthmadog we visit newalls three times. Fresh cream scones delicious. Lots of choice from a little shop. Everything homemade and yummy.
