parsons bakery Abingdon in Vale of White Horse

Always love it here, cannot go wrong with the meal deal at £3.95. I would pay that for the cake alone! Friend staff and good food, what more can you want.

We have ordered from Parsons a few times using Uber Eats. They’re sausage baguettes are lush! Their sausage rolls are also delicious!! Highly recommend!

Absolutely terrible!! 4 “rustic” baguettes. Absolutely nothing rustic about them. Uncooked part baked baguettes that are certainly nothing like the advertising pictures!! Trish assures me that they were cooked for 13 minutes, however, I’d suggest that they were only cooked for 13 seconds - enough to defrost them!! Head office in Bristol didn’t want to know, just wanted to continue the cycle of passing the buck. I’d recommend avoiding this place like the plague!!

A busy lunchtime with queues & there was only one assistant serving, hence a queue, while two gossiped out the back. One did finally stick her head round the corner to bark there should only be 2 customers in the building at a time then went back to her gossiping. The girl in the till was nice but was new & couldn’t answer a simple question about the goods on offer, a bit of training might help. A shame as holidaymakers probably stop here - a poor introduction to Abingdon.

The products are very good. The staff very friendly. The meal deals excellent. The coffee is excellent. There may be queues at lunchtime - it is a popular. Their sourdough bread is my favourite. Prices are very reasonable. In December, they do a great "Christmas Dinner Pasty"- it is something to look forward to. There are great deals on coffee and cakes after 2pm. Seating is limited inside due to Covid restrictions. There are seats outside. It is in the main shopping street in Abingdon with great views locally and near the river.

Reasonably priced and quick service with lots of nice looking items available. Lardy cake was pretty dry, specially when compared to others in Oxfordshire

Avery good place for value and quality. My gripe is, they run out of bacon and sausage before 10am every day so many customers miss out on a sarnie!

Unpretentious, cheap and cheerful, with nice veggie sausage rolls! I came in sweaty after my run for coffee and snacks, but was made to feel welcome. There was a lovely community atmosphere inside.The staff happily filled my water bottle. The meal deal seems really good value £3:50, since the cakes and sarnies looked really good- will be back!

Friendly staff, good selection of sandwiches and bakery, seating outside, very popular with locals at centre of Abingdon

With the sad demise of La Baguette I have turned to Parsons, and it's absolutely fine - decent food well presented at a fair price.

After a few hours of walking the banks of the River Thames popped into town fro some refreshments. Found this little gem serving excellent coffee for a £1. Being the afternoon an after 2pm cakes were being sold off for 95p. Excellent choice all very tasty. It was busy but service was quick, friendly, pleasant and polite and very efficient. They were provding some excellent choice of recipes in the sourdough bread range plus I picked up a very handy info card they had produced all about how sourdouh is made and why,etc. Would use again when that way.

Long wait. Young girl working alone- didn't even look old enough to work on a school day. Although her body weight may not have screamed health. The coffee was decent enough for £1, and got a Luke warm pasty for £1.50. You pay for what you get. Cheap!

Called in as passing through Abingdon. Good tasting coffee for only £1. I also had a lovely cake which was only 0.99p. The choice of pasties looked good as well. All cakes are only 0.99p after 2pm and any pasty for £1.50. Really good value, good food, great customer service. It puts Costa coffee next door to shame. I’ll be back.

Popped in for a takeaway coffee, cake and loaf of bread about 2.30 so not lunchtime rush. Was second in the queue after a couple of ladies who had 4 drinks, 2 sandwiches and 2 needing to be heated. I waited for ten minutes behind these ladies who were already being served when i entered, soon a large queue behind me. Two women serving made me want to serve myself before i expired, Awful service, coffee not amazing, real shame as there is a costa coffee next door, always great service in a timely manner and many other places to choose from in abingdon.

Good quality cakes and sandwiches. Excellent value on the meal deal. Service is excellent and very helpful. Little trick get in the shop after 2pm for even better deals. Will defiantly be coming back.

A cheap snack shop with a small selection of stodgy cakes eg a bun with white sugary icing poured over it like a cement mixer and a tiny piece of glace cherry on top! etc and standard greasy hot pastry goods like sausage rolls pies etc plus little bottles of water and so on. It competes with Greggs across the shopping precinct. A few tables and chairs outside.Very small inside. The floor was dirty and grubby with lots of visible crumbs etc on it. Popular with less demanding customers who don't care about quality but to foodies pretty anathema! 2 Staff women were quite busy and there was a waiting line of 4 customers in front. Very poor looking,cant understand why people eat here and not at home or better. MIght fill your hunger if desperate! The Precinct outside is pretty rough with under privileged children and single parent type looking mothers noislly shouting and running around all the time out of control!

Looked lovely from the outside but was offered the last sausage roll available which had a wasp on it!!

Great value - coffee and cakes - sevice slow - staff too busy getting stuff out of ovens to serve customers - many people give up waiting and go to costalot next door

This is a bakery yet i went in to get a loaf of bread they dont do any apart from a baggett got a sauage roll which was 60p more than the other bakery and it was dry very dissapointed wont go there again

Lovely place to eat and great price! Very friendly staff! Food is lovely and cakes look amazing! There is a lot to choose from which is always good!!

Fui a comprar 6 piezas de la Navidad tarta road y me ofrecieron 2 Rocky más piezas por el mismo precio, así que optamos por 2 de los muñecos de merengue como mi extras gratis. Al volver a casa encontré sólo 5 de las carreteras rocosas y 2 muñecos, que era 1 menos carreteras rocosa que lo solicite. Pasteles de agradable y buen servicio, pero más atención necesaria cuando el escrutinio de las mercancías, la gente tenía que sacrificar mi porción debido a esto. . . .

I had a lovely coffee and superb custard slice with a little jam init, sitting outside in the sun. The lady who served us was so helpful whilst I sorted out my disabled son and his cup of tea. Wow these places still exist. It...

When in Abingdon I always stop here for lunch or even just coffee. For just £3.50 you get sanwich, cake and a decent cuo of coffee. There is limited seating inside, but also seating outside. Great friendly staff, and always a welcome

Simplemente me encanta su leche siempre con una sonrisa muy buena selección de pasteles y pan abingdons también uno de joyas ocultas

¡Puaj! Pedimos el rollo de salchichas vegetarianas, pero nos dieron la versión carne 😱 no recuperar mi dinero y una disculpa pero no vamos allí de nuevo.

Stopped by here for a brunch whilst in Abingdon. The staff are polite and friendly and there is a good selection of cakes and pastries. The value is really good - I had a Green Tea, Sausage Roll and something called a 'Moon Cake' for about £3.50 in total!For those of you who have not heard of it - Moon Cake is chocolate with biscuit pieces, cherries and sultanas and is not too sweet but rather moreish!

Their bread is very very good...their brown bread is really good and stays so fresh for several days

Nice, friendly staff working there. Really good value at £1.50 for a pasty, £1.30 for a sausage roll and 95p for a piece of lardy cake.

It's an okay bakery, better than the others in Abingdon. I loved the apple-cinnamon-doughnuts, but, sadly, they don't seem to do them anymore. The selection is (for German standards) not amazing, but good enough. I know some people love their stuff.They don't do soya milk - which is - these days - appalling. I've asked, but they didn't even give me hope :(I like their lunch baguettes. May daughter goes there nearly every lunch break for the meal deal.I wish I could take my dog in, as I can't see a reason why not. If i could I could spend some lunch breaks with my daughter.The staff is very friendly, but a bit too much use of the terms of endearment ;) I personally don't like to be called 'darling' or 'sweet'.

This is a very nice and friendly place, they have a lovely assortment of cakes ,pastries and bread. They also have some nice deals on offer, their Chelsea buns are some of the best I have ever had.

best place in town for a skinny latte often give free taster bites as a little treat lovely friendly staff too well done keep it up

Fast food served by polite staff at affordable prices. There are limited table facilities here, some of it outside on the precinct foot path, but the quality of the food is good.

As a coffee addict finding a cup for only £1 is always good, the coffee actually tasting good is a real bonus. A pasty for £1.50 is brilliant as well.

The girls behind the counter are always bubbly and cheerieThey don't let you miss out on any offers that are going onAnother well known company not to far from them should look at this branch and take lessons, I've never been back in that said shop since Parsons opened in Abingdon

If you want coffee and a cake or maybe a sausage roll then I would definitely recommend here. Much better and cheaper than Costa Coffee next door!!!!!!

Just enjoyed finishing off a really tasty pasty and cake from Parsons. Was amazed at the prices, all pasties £1.50 and cakes 75p after 2pm so couldn't complain about that. The lady behind the counter was one of the friendliest and chattiest person I have come across and would certainly revisit the next time I'm working in Abingdon!

Firstly the staff are all lovely and very welcoming! The cakes always look lovely and taste much better than the ones from gregs across the road and there is also a much bigger selection!The cakes are also very reasonably priced with offers constantly running, they currently offer any cake for 70p after 2pm which is a bargin.

Had a nice coffee and cake in here, following a nice family walk along the river in Abingdon.The quality of the food and drink was excellent and never disappoints. They have some amazing bargains, like any coffee for £1. I am very surprised others don't go there especially the ones who were queuing out of next door Costa Coffee. I would definitely recommend here and will be visiting again very soon.

I have visited the shop in Abingdon on numerous occasions and have always found the quality of the food and drink to be very good. Plus always at very reasonable prices.If you fancy a coffee and a sausage roll or cake, I can recommend here.

I was out with my mum today and noticed this new bakery so thought we would give it a go. As i'm a student, i was looking for a decent priced sandwich and drink; this is where i found it!I walked in and was soon greeted by the ladies behind the counter, i went over to the sandwiches a realised how inexpensive and large they were. The sandwiches are all wholegrain, the baguettes were the really nice, soft kind and they also had paninis. All were stuffed full of fillings. They have a large selection of cakes and also have pasties or sausage rolls!They have an very good meal deal of £3.50 for a drink, sandwich and a cake. This is perfect for the student i am :) I will definitely recommend this bakery to my college friends.

very good value, food hot, compared to Greggs across the way, Pasties for !.50, where greggs is more money and less food

Amazing cakes, 70p after 2pm :-) So much cheaper and nicer than all the other coffee shops in Abingdon.

Thought we'd give the new place a try we like to support local businesses but what a mistake. The 2 girls serving didn't appear to have much of a clue as to what they were doing spending the 15 mins or so I waited just niggling at each other. 1 dropped the food hence the long wait. The cakes are under glass but uncovered & nothing stopping wasps getting in the staff seemed unaware or not bothered. Staff were brusque & moaned all the time I was there. When we finally got the food 2 coffees 1 bacon & 1 sausage sandwich they were cold & way too much sauce. I didn't complain but was rudely offered a free cake whilst waiting. Avoid go elsewhere there are plenty good quality places in Abingdon to get food from!

The produce is nice but unfortunately there are so many wasps feasting on the goods that I was not happy to purchase anything from there.
