Panaderia By Dowds in High Peak

Super tasty lunch , we had toasted sandwiches with skinny fries. The cake selection looked amazing although we refrained. Nice place to sit after an explore

Excellent service, nice warm welcome. Food and drinks served promptly and was absolutely delicious. Thank you to all the staff.

The cakes and coffee were delicious, but spoilt completely by a very unfriendly member of staff. and a terrible welcome. We called in as a nice ending on the way back from a few days in Southport celebrating my Mums 85th birthday. The very first thing that was said to us as we walked through the door was ‘were closing in 20 mins’…no smile, no hello. We asked if it was ok to come in then….’if you drink your coffee within 20 mins’ we were told. The blond member of staff scowled at us and in general our whole visit and was very sharp and unfriendly as she placed our order down on our table. We can all have a bad day but I don't think paying customers should suffer or be aware. We're friendly people, we chatted and had a laugh with the customer on the next table to us whose birthday it was too This customer told the blond that it was my mum's birthday... the blond member of staff didn't say a word to my mum, or even acknowledge this information. A happy birthday would have been nice. Our visit was ruined and we felt very uncomfortable by this girl who looked in a bad mood and was giving us sullen looks every time we caught her eye. The cafe was due to close early apparently …. but we were finished well within our given time limit of 20 mins. We then stood at the counter (as my Mum was paying for some bread, which was still within our 20 min limit ) when a dark haired member of staff asked the blond staff member in a loud voice ‘have they paid?’ It was said in a rude accusing tone. I pointed out at this point I was totally disappointed with the unfriendly reception we had had. No apology was given. Nor any reply on their Facebook messenger page earlier either. My poor Mum was made to feel totally in the way and unwelcome. If you didn’t want to serve us, you should have closed earlier instead of taking over £16 from us and spoiling the end of my mum’s birthday trip

Lovely cafe. Great food, reasonable prices, delicious coffee, nice staff. Didn't have desert but the cakes look delicious. Will definetely bed going back. X

Spanish cafe but a very good English breakfast. Food really well presented and very good value with nice helpful staff.

Wow! What a find. A lovely cosy cafe serving the most delicious cakes. My daughter had a huge slice of chocolate cake topped with pieces of chocolate orange. I had a delicious fruit scone with tasty raspberry jam and butter. The hot chocolate and decaffeinated cappuccino were also excellent. My only concern was that one of the waitresses stroked and petted a dog then went back to serving customers without washing her hands.

We stopped here for brunch en route to the Peak District. Although we were too late for breakfast, the staff agreed to cook us Eggs Iberico, their Spanish take on Eggs Benedict. The cafe is cosy and intimate and we soon got chatting to our table neighbours. The food and coffee was excellent. Although we didn't indulge,the cakes looked absolutely marvellous. A very lovely experience.

We popped in here recently for a snack and coffee prior to a hike in the area. Pleasant interior and such a relaxing ambience. Excellent choice of cakes, snacks and beverages along with a menu with plenty of options. A slice of cake, a scone and coffees were our choice, all nicely presented, generous and tasty. Friendly and polite staff members, prompt service and reasonable pricing. All round just perfect for us!

Best full english I've ever had in a cafe, real butchers sausage, quality bacon, scrambled egg, honestly it puts other cafes to shame, really good value considering the quality, lovely staff too, very highly recommended

Did some research for breakfast in Glossop and came across this place. We really enjoyed our breakfast here - I had the croissant with smoked salmon and cream cheese which was delicious and the full cooked breakfasts looked good too!

Called in here today, had soup, which was over facing in a massive bowl, couldn’t eat it because of the consistency. Bland Prawn sandwich. Banging music playing loudly which I’m wondering if it’s played to make you leave quicker on purpose. Other customers were complaining amongst each other about the music too. Made me feel agitated Sorry not for me

Found this little gem of a place on a morning stroll. Had a fabulous breakfast and fantastic coffee. Service was friendly and prompt. Lovely interior and the cakes looked very tempting. Highly recommend.

Fabulous. How can this place only be no.5 in Glossop? I have never been to a better cafe than this anywhere in the UK. Fantastic cakes, excellent coffee and tea in a proper pot, good atmosphere, and friendly service. This should be number 1. You have to go.

We visited as a couple while on a weekend away. Lovely little cafe, interior has been carefully thought out. Every was very clean. Friendly service. One of the best breakfasts we have had out ever! Definitely worth a visit - the cakes looked amazing!

What a gorgeous little tea shop, with home made cakes 🍰 extremely friendly staff. The portions are big so if you eat before you go and end up there you’ll need a lie down as you will be stuffed.

Best breakfast place in Glossop! Amazing coffee and the food is always delicious 😊 we are coming every week and will definitely be coming back!

Well, where do i start? I have discovered my little slice of heaven 😍 I went in today for a coffee with my 2 dogs - yep bonus, dogs are allowed. A very warm welcome awaits as soon as you walk in the door. From sitting down, the dogs were given treats and water, and I had a large latte that washed away all my cares in the world. It's definitely a very popular place as it was filling up nicely as i was there. I will most definitely be going again ..... and again

First time at Panaderia Blue tonight for Tapas. What a fantastic place, Amazing food, Excellent staff and management. Incredible value for money. Thanks for the Brilliant night, SEE YOU NEXT WEEK. Love It ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Everything about this cafe is amazing from the friendly staff the warm happy atmosphere and top it off the best cake in Glossop you can't go wrong

I booked a table here to meet friends, halfway between where we all live, having done a spot of research on TA. We were not disappointed. As soon as we arrived, we were shown to our table and menus and water was brought. The staff were attentive and very friendly throughout our whole meal. Service could not be faulted. We all had toasted sandwiches and all were delicious. Having seen the delicious cakes as we came in, we couldn’t resist. They were excellent, too, as were the teas and coffees. Our whole experience was 6* and it’s just a pity we don’t live nearer, as Panaderia Blu would become a regular venue for us. Thanks to Lisa and all the staff for such a lovely lunch.

Dropped in here this afternoon on a visit to Glossop. The amount of choice for a teatime snack was amazing, and the presentation of what we ordered was top notch. The taste of my Red Velvet cake matched this, as did the wife’s choice of...

We popped in here for a light lunch, and enjoyed a couple of very nice sandwiches followed by some lovely cakes. Lovely staff and a pleasant atmosphere. Very fair value for money.

Probably the best breakfast I have ever had ...Seriously delicious. Friendy staffand chilled surroundings. ..Thank you guys..x

Whether your after a coffee, some cake or even a breakfast you would be hard pressed to find better quality or value even in Manchester. Only downside? It’s not the largest establishment to be prepared to wait!

My daughter & myself booked a table for one cold Saturday afternoon. We received a warm welcome & the place was very busy with a great atmosphere so we were pleased we had booked a table. We both had soup & a sandwich which were...

What a lovely gem this cafe is! The staff really make your experience truly delightful from start to finish. Every dish is served with so much love and care - even a small piece of shortbread will come on its own plate with some fresh...

First visit to Glossop High Street and popped into Panaderia for a lunch snack. The friendliness and warmth of the staff was first class, and our shared sandwich was so fresh and tasty ….the coffee wasn’t bad either. Thank you

Friendly staff. Simple menu but well prepared and served with thoughtful finishing touches Outside seating to watch the world go round.

We had some coffees and cake. Really nice cake and the staff were really friendly. Nice internal decoration and decent toilets.

Popped into Panaderia on a drizzly Saturday afternoon and was soon cheered up with a warm welcome. A lovely little coffee shop on the High Street. Had a very nice Americano and pot of tea with two of the best pieces of (large) cake ever!!!...

Had one of the best afternoon teas!! Excellent food, staff lovely and very attentive. Lovely afternoon. Thank you.

We visited this morning and were welcomed by the lovely staff. The coffee was really good and so was the avocado on toast. Very dog friendly too!

We stopped by here with our baby and had a lovely coffee and cake. The portions are very generous and the cakes (victoria sponge and red velvet) were very fresh. The coffee was nice too. Staff were very friendly and the environment was both relaxed...

So pleased to get a take away from panaderia ! The Victoria sponge took three attempts to eat it , huge and fab ! Felt safe and welcome xx

While I was over recently visiting my parents from Australia, a trip to Panderia is something I look forward to. The food and coffee are as good as you get in cafes in Sydney or Melbourne. My wife, couldn't make the trip this time and...

We popped in to this cafe as our ‘usual’ one was closed and we were not disappointed. The food was all home made and freshly prepared. A warm welcome and nice atmosphere. We will definitely be returning. I had avacado on toast, very generous portions...

Called in with the family for a hot chocolate and some cake and we were not disappointed! The hot chocolate was lovely, lots of cream, chocolate and marshmallows and even a little cupcake. We also ordered a slice of cake each, the portions were very generous, so much so that we shared the Victoria Sponge and took the chocolate tart to go. Both cakes were delicious. Staff were helpful and friendly, it's not the largest of places but theres quite a bit of seating.

This is a tiny bistro with fantastic food. The main drawback is that it is a tiny venue. There are very few tables, which fill up very quickly. If I was the proprietor I would open the room next door, which is part of the...

Stopped off on my way home via snake pass. Fantastic little place, independent and well run. They bake their own bread and the coffee is wonderful. The butternut squash soup with roasted garlic was delicious, along with croissant and mushrooms and feta. Great little place,...

This is a cracking place. Had breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea here and never yet disappointed. The food, drink and service are great in equal measures.

We got a gift token for our 40th wedding anniversary.The service, foox and hospitality was excellent. Highly recommended.

Went for Brunch with my wife.....NEVER NEVER AGAIN. Nothing traditional on the menu so opted gor toast and Peanut butter.....In 61 years on this planet, I have never had such disgusting Toast..The bread was so doughy and £2,50 for 2 slices of urrrgghh, it was inedible. Which brings me to the peanut butter at £1.00 extra-YES A £1-which came in a very small bucket which contained a tablespoon. Based on that I reckon its about £30 a jar if you compare say with a jar from a supermarket. If your twee and have burn to burn,great if not Avoid

A wonderful experience, lovely food in a relaxing environment. Made a welcome difference to chain store breakfast.

We found this little gem looking for a coffee stop but bad timing , menu and food looked amazing but just to early for us. Our coffee superb, as was the ambience and customer service . We paid and left but back within 10 minutes to buy cakes for the onward journey all produced on the premises. There is one bad point about this stunning little independent coffee shop that it is not located in our home town in Kent. They have a raspberry granola bar to die for. Thank you for letting us find you Panaderia By Dowds it sure is a credit to the owners ! Love it !

A brilliant place to visit with a lovely atmosphere. The gin bar next door is also perfect. All the staff are wonderful.

After a sojourn around the world Downs had returned to Glossop with a bang. The only problem is that at peak times they are a victim of their own success, and getting a table can be difficult.Excellent food and good service. What more could you want? Local curmudgeons would say a little pricey, but the quality is worth the premium. Decanter the associated wine/gin bar next door is well worth a visit.

I often have coffee, lunch or get take away from here .The team are amazing! Trouble is there is only one Ian !It’s always busy so at times hard to get a table which says it all !Tables bit squashed as it’s only small place but soooo well worth any wait!!!!!!! Lovely decor as well.The thought of it makes me think I may be off to visit later today !

amazing staff really helpful and quick service the coffee and cake is Truly wow amazing to look at and drink The place is inter-mate and cosy and soft music and sets the scene

I went here today for the first time and really enjoyed it. The food is delicious and the service is friendly. Will be returning to try out other options on the menu.

We found Panaderia by going on line as we approached Glossop, late Saturday morning. It was perfect! Everyone there was so welcoming and friendly and the brunch exceeded our expectations. You must visit Panaderia.

Friendly staff,Lovely rustic surroundings with good coffee and delicious cake. Definitely recommend. They have gluten free options too.

First visit and we were so impressed delicious soups, fantastic breads and drinks. Well worth further visits

Just called on passing and decided to have a bite. Quite a find this. Cosy ambiance....great food; breakfasts, homemade soups, the bread is gorgeous...and drinks. Lovely coffee and a selection of teas. All good. You should try it!

What a find! Marvellous place! Gorgeous homemade soup and wonderful homemade bread, served by delightful staff at an amazingly reasonable price. Couldn’t fault it. Would have tried the delectable-looking cakes, but couldn’t quite manage it. Next time definitely!

A lovely little cafe, friendly and attentive staff. Nice little spot for tea and cake. Well worth the money we spent

I absolutely love panaderia especially the afternoon tea! It’s definitely the best I’ve ever had but the regular menu is also lovely especially the avocado and poached egg. Great for a special occasion or just a coffee. Recently we held a baby shower for 20 people and nothing else was too much trouble, we had the whole place to ourselves and everyone said how much they loved it. Thank you so much!

Happened by this little cafe today in Glossop and it is delightful ! Had the chicken coconut and lime salad - amazing!!!

visited 2-3 times, loads of choice, fresh and tasty, gluten free, friendly staff, dont miss it if you are in Glossop

Had to wait a while for a table but was definitely worth the wait. Had a delicious big bowl of feta cheese and roasted sweet potato salad with homemade bread. Our pot of tea for 2 was beautifully presented down to the little cake.

Panaderia opened its doors to 30 or so guests to help celebrate Gill’s birthday. Exclusive Saturday night use of the bistro. Absolutely fabulous. Buffet food, free flowing wine and beer. Guns from next door for the more daring! Cannot thanks Liz enough. Terrific enjoyment for everyone.

We visit for lunch once or twice a week and find the food and service excellent every time.Liz and Ian and their team are invariably cheerful despite being always busy. Cannot recommend more highly.

Best cafe I’ve been to in a long time. Delicious drinks, fabulous food. They elevate a sandwich into the extraordinary and the hot chocolate was incredible.

Only a small place, however make the effort to experience the amazing food which is freshly prepared you will not be disappointed. Staff go the extra mile to make sure you have a professional friendly service. 5 star's.

This has to be the best afternoon tea ever, and we had had a few the food was fantastic smoked salmon sandwiches on home made bread,ham sandwiches cheese sandwiches they were all filled with little added extras, then the scones arrived along with a selection of wonderful cakes all polished down with two gin fizzes my idea of heaven many thanks for a great afternoon. Helen and Bill

A great selection of gins in a pleasant adult atmosphere. The staff are friendly and efficient and suggested what tonic would go best with the gin you selected. Definitely worth a visit.

Fabulous scones, toasted tea cakes and bread. All their produce tastes home made and is of a very high standard. Really wonderful service, could go every day really!!

Stopped by based on the trip advisor reviews and feel this will definitely be my ‘go to’ place when we’re in the area. Lovely decor, friendly staff staff and food to die for!

On the way to the Peak District we stopped off at the Panaderia for lunch. I had looked at the reviews here and I hoped this would be a good choice. It wasn’t just good, it was absolutely wonderful. The service was second to none. We chose a meat plate (for hubby) and a cheese plate for myself. The presentation was lovely. I love cheeses and this was the best ever cheese board, I actually had to admit defeat - I could not finish all of the cheese (there were 6 types, all very tasty).Next time we are in the area we will definitely stop here again. Highly recommended. Thank you to the team for a great little place with amazing food.

Just popped on for a coffee. Lovely little place with friendly and efficient service and good coffee and hot chocolate. The food looked nice but we didn't try it.

Nice atmosphere and helpful staff. I am vegetarian and they offered to tailor the menu to suit my tastes. The servings were generous and the food fresh. Rather small so may be a good idea to ask if they take bookings. They do seem to be busy a lot of the time.

We called in for lunch.rustic look,very well presented and clean. Nice size cafe. Good choice of food,drinks and cakes.excellent service. Had a Spanish platter and a Reuben sandwich.both very nice and lots of it.....we couldn't manage it all so staff member put remainders in cardboard box to take home.this was done without any prompt.....no food waste and recyclable packaging, great! Prices reasonable. The price of the Reuben included a £1 charity donation to Reuben"s retreat.really like that fund raising idea.wish we were local!!! To be recommend, will certainly be back if we are visiting Glossop again..

on the main street in Glossop, bijou but BUZZING. shared a Spanish platter with my daughter, which had a fantastic selection, including a fabulous Spanish tortilla, chorizo, cheese and great selection of breads. we also had the most wonderful home baked pork and chorizo pie......if there is a better pie I certainly want to taste it.we took home a few cakes from the delicious selection of home bakes

Passing through Glossop from Manchester my husband and I wanted some breakfast I spotted Panaderia managed to grab a table as it was very busy but staff friendly and welcoming. We ordered malpais eggs which where gorgeous very tasty with lovely homemade crusty bread and homemade hummus delicious. What we did like was the fact it had soya milk so ordered two large soya lattes perfect, we find as we can’t have dairy a lot of cafes and restaurants don’t cater for intolerances , so top marks for the soya and very tasty breakfast will be calling in again when passing through glossop

Very impressed with the salad and sandwich lunches. Exceptional value for money, beautifully presented and very tasty 😋

Fantastic place with home made food, drinks and desserts. Served by friendly local staff who are passionate about what they do. Great addition to Glossop town centre, also try the fantastic decanter next door for amazing Gins and Pinchos. Very sophisticated!!

Love it here ... the food is awesome, the staff are wonderful and the atmosphere is lovely too ... the avocado on home baked fresh bread is so yummy x

Delicious food. Without a doubt this is a hidden gem in Glossop. If your in town this is definitely worth a visit. The interior is small but beautifully presented, the food is well priced and tastes delicious. Highly recommended.

Although I'm not a local I suspect that PANADERIA BY DOWDS is an unexpected delight for those that live (& pass thru) this small North Derbyshire market town. Owned by an artisan baker (who gets up at 0500) this remarkable little cafe/restaurant is an absolute must. We were coming from a distance to a nearby wedding & needed lunch. Tripadviser reports spoke about Panaderia with words like: best, super, exceptional - so we were convinced & came to the strangely named 'Panaderia by Dowds'. Based on Glossop's High Street, simple parking easy to find - we were quickly found a table, An extremely friendly welcome, met the owner, our order taken and the quick servce presented us with 'serious mountains of food'. I had the Spanish meze platter - easily enough for two. My partner similarly had possibly the most enormous Chicken wrap I've ever seen. If I have a criticism of this wonderful cafe it's that there is absolutely far far too much food (& I'm no low dress size). I saw many people reacting similarly. My suggestion: Downsize your portions Ian & reduce your prices....otherwise customers just buy one portion to share and I'm fairly sure you'll still be full. Coffee and bread were also completely delicious. Yes, we'd certainly return but wiser 2nd time around.

We took my mum for a Mothers' Day afternoon tea; it was perfect. The staff were lovely with us and the food was wonderful. We couldn't eat it all so they boxed it up for Mum to take away. Thank you.

We are now regulars and have tried most of the amazing cakes they do here. Nowhere compares, the cookies are awesome. The different tiramisu' are brill.

Called in panaderia for lunch today and it was the best coffee, sandwich & cake I've had in a coffee shop for ages. The food was of great quality, my sandwich was made with delicious bread a lovely filling served with a lovely side salad. My husband and I shared a piece of cheesecake which was gorgeous, the coffee latte was lovely so good we had 2 coffees each didn't want my lunch to end.We can't wait to visit again got a feeling were going to become regulars.

...unfortunately it may not survive as a business- unless the staff stop ignoring customers who are waiting to be served. It's amazing how the taste of good food changes when the service is poor and the staff are rude. Such a shame

First thing to note is this place is tiny, not really for groups of more than 2 or 3.A modern well presented bar, with a fine selection of gins. Quite intimate due to it size and quiet in volume for the same reason.Good gin menu and knowledgeable staff.

Tasty late brunch of their homemade toast, garlic coated with avocados and poached egg. Always busy in here and you have to have to hover for a seat. Bustling glossop town centre venue.

I come here often for late breakfast or lunch for the amazing avocado and eggs dish and a great coffee. Ive tried a number of dishes...The food is very fresh and consistent, I love that they source locally and make what they can in house such as the bread! The owners are a lovely couple who go the extra mile to ensure you enjoy your visit, their employee's as also excellent. The cakes are SO hard to resist particularly if you're partial to a rocky road!! Delicious. DECANTER BY DOWDS - I also wanted to mention they have a newly opened gin bar right next door serving speciality gins and other drinks and great bar snacks. I organised a mini celebration for a friends birthday in December, they made a beautiful cake for her (requested day before) and served it up for us that evening, even though I was an hour late and they were super busy!! Nothing was too much trouble. Excellent service, fresh and homemade dishes and bakery goods. Great to support something local too!Must visit!

So friendly- great atmosphere, good food and service. We popped in for a break from Christmas shopping.

We don’t live in Glossop but stop here regularly on our way over to North Wales & it certainly sweetens our journey!Small but amazingly good cafe. Great coffee, delicious home baked goods, great service & lovely ambiance. Staff are incredibly hard working but always cheerful & friendly. A model of cafe perfection!

Dropped in for lunch. Food was plentiful and excellent quality. Good service and reasonably priced. Only problem is that it will only seat about 20, but if you're in, then you're in! Will defo go again.

We picked this place from TripAdvisor and it was excellent , friendly staff and great food. Portion sizes are good and delivered on time. We will be back.
