Paul Rhodes Bakery in Greenwich

I've been to a few courses at Greenwich University and filmed for projects nearby a lot, I always make a habit to stop here for a coffee and/or a snack. It's always good service and good treats too!

We visited Paul Rhodes Bakery because it’s featured on the Greenwich Monopoly board and we were curious about its local history. While it’s clearly a Greenwich staple, the bakery itself felt much like any other good quality spot. They offer a solid range of bread, pastries, cakes, and coffee. Worth dropping in for some fresh baked goods, or the Monopoly connection!

Was delighted to see some bakery items with rhubarb in April. The rhubarb danish pastry was divine, great quality. So many great options to try here and some unique, was very impressed. Service was good and prices about what you expect to pay for the artisan types of bakery. Definitely recommend for breakfast or lunch in Greenwich.

Yesterday we finished our visit to Greenwich by visiting this artisan bakery and purchasing a wonderful bread and 2 delicious cinnamon buns. They had so many delicious-looking items on display, it was quite hard making up our minds which ones to buy! A perfect end to a lovely day

This place is AMAZING!!! Came in for coffee and a pastry and ended trying lots of lovely treats! Absolutely loved it, Lara and Georgia were so kind and friendly and made us feel very welcome!! We’ll definitely be back :)

Excellent bakery with a range of top quality and unusual speciality breads and pastries. A great place to go if you enjoy something of interest rather than the standard fayre. This is my preferred bakery in Greenwich and I regularly buy their bread. Try their Seeded Porridge Sour - sounds weird but is deliciously seedy. They also offer consistently good coffee (not always the case with other places in my experience). P.R are popular so often busy but the staff are always personable and professional. Recommended, especially if you like to support an independent rather than chain.

We stopped in here for a quick takeaway lunch. I had a croissant with cheese and mushrooms. It was really tasty.

Super boulangerie, arrêt minute pour prendre un en-cas pour le lunch, de très bon produits à prix abordables ! Plusieurs types de pâtisseries/viennoiseries et de salé. Située à deux pas du parc, idéal pour se poser.

I didn't expect a bakery to not have any bread rolls, they had plenty of bread and cakes, perhaps rolls don't generate enough money. The bread is nice but the prices are astronomical.

For an excellent espresso and pastry, this is your spot! We wanted to take a small break after seeing the Greenwich Observatory and found this place. The espresso was perfectly dialed in and superb is an understatement. The pastries are plentiful and difficult to choose one, but I wouldn’t be surprised if you pick anyone you’ll be more than satisfied. Wonderful place that we found by happenstance.

I've ordered quite a few times from this bakery via Deliveroo — a really good variety of fresh bread and pastries of all sorts — Villages sourdough bread and walnut coffee cake are excellent and my favourites. When I had an issue with my order — their friendly team reached out promptly and did their best to help, which is always appreciated.

I've always favored going to Paul Rhodes as an independent over the nearby chain Gails, but my last couple of visits have been underwhelming to say the least. Not only is it chaos inside, with no real clear system of where to order/collect and people picking up each other's orders, but the food has been disappointing too. Deciding to give it one more try I bought 2 croissants and 2 coffees yesterday that were the worst yet and almost inedible. Despite paying for large coffees, the cups were filled less than halfway and tasted of just warm milk. The croissants must have been at least 2 days old - stale and chewy. When you bit into them they left a perfect bite mark. It's such a shame, because this used to be a real favourite but their high standards seem to have really fallen of late. I will go elsewhere next time.

I bought a piece of cake to take away- I found a piece of gravel/stone in it. This was inside the cake. Not some random accident on my part. Also, it was sizeable enough to potentially cause some damage.

Was staying in the area and had wanted a coffee, so visited daily lovely coffee and danish , had different ones each day . Also brought some jam and marmalade which I’m looking forward to eat .

Very underwhelming... solo visit to the bakery. As expected, bit of a queue and pretty manic inside. No real order or organisation when taking orders. (Can't comment on the drinks as did not order any) Onto the food : chicken leek mushroom pie. Where was the chicken? Not a single piece. The contents seemed like an eggy mixture, I was expecting more a runny mixture , so it was incredibly dry when eating. Mushrooms were probably the best part , all 3 of them! Apart from that it was bland. Next up the cinnamon bun. I don't know how you can get it this wrong. It was as firm as anything. As if its been there to dry out over a couple of days. No real cinnamon flavour coming through just really dense pastry. Looks like another incident of style over quality. Looks good, but taste was so dissapointing. I wanted to like it, but after 2 bites it went in the bin. I don't know if this was a bad baking day, but I think this was the worst bakery experience I've had. Better value for money & taste at Pret A Manger just down the road

We had a brioche sandwich which was good. We also had a pink raspberry type cake which felt very greasy and fatty. We had a chocolate caramel tart with a base that was borderline raw. And we had marble cake which was tasteless. Their rosemary wild garlic bread was very good: so- I’d stick to their breads and not their sweets....

Just tried the village sour loaf, absolutely delicious. I’ve been recently trying artisan bread and this is the best I’ve had so far. We were also astounded at how much choice there was of pastries and cakes. Only got 2! Will come back.

We had a takeaway around lunchtime and we were very happy with it The staff was lovely and the food was great! Coffe could have been a big better, but in general is totally worth it! They do have skimmed milk In the picture you can see the chocolate and pistachio babka!

I went for a beautiful walk in Greenwich park a friend recommended this bakery to me . I ordered a oat milk mocha coffee ☕️ it was delicious. I also ordered a brownie to take out it was scrumptious. I would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Greenwich village .

Lovely presentation. Delicious foods and proper full sized products not the shrunken versions we're all getting used to.

We ordered our first box of pastries and bagels recently and it was delicious! Guaranteed to put a smile on your face and in your tummy. Great customer service too. Shout out to the lovely Kelly! Very grateful to get a home delivery of such...

My box arrived today with a huge selection of the most amazing breads and pastries.. absolutely delighted! I am a keen baker and am very fussy about my bread and cakes, if I buy them. This is awesome! Highly recommended. Also with free sourdough starter!...

Lovely food, freshly baked bread, sandwiches and desserts and really good coffee at a reasonable price for Greenwich

Loved this little cafe/bakery. Service was excellent as was the coffee and definable the cakes! Would definitely recommend this place. We enjoyed cake and coffee ahead of our visit to the cutty sark.

Popped in out of the rain for cake and a coffee. Found it quite expensive (just under £15 for two slices of cake and two hot drinks). The cake was really nice but I don’t think it was made on the premises. It was brought...

This is a good bakery and if you want to have a quick coffee/ tea and sit on the bar stool it's fine. But it doesn't have even any tables or toilets.

The lines were long at the nearby market, but short and efficient at Paul Rhodes. Their baked goods counter offered all sorts of temptations, but we settled on trying two: a mini salted caramel tart and mini Bakewell tart. The former was like a millionaire...

Our friend raves about this bakery so we stopped in for a quick bite. I have to say we were underwhelmed. The almond croissant tasted bland and at least a day old. Not especially clean as used dishes remained in the small counter. The only...

Visiting Greenwich, this bakery was the ONLY place in Greenwich offering the traditional "tea and scones". But, these scones had a little jam and butter only (no cream) and the tea selection was very limited. Seating is abysmal and only okay for a quick snack....

The long white baguettes are better than what you get at supermarkets nearby. I would go back and buy that but nothing else. I tried the cakes a few years ago and the quality was poor. I decided to try them again following the good...

This is a lovely coffee shop where you can buy the best sourdough bread in Greenwich. A good selection of breads ,cakes and sandwiches. Nice to sit down and have a coffee and watch the world go round. Dogs are welcome which is great. Staff...

I came here briefly for a coffee with a friend. I went to the counter to order an espresso and at the same time a lady was looking at the cakes/Pastries. I am a mixed raced women and the lady was white and middle aged....

A little cute corner bakery I always thought of visiting. Glad i did. Really moist with full of carrots, creamy butter frosting, loads of dried fruits, nuts and orange peels - it was the most dreamy, delish slice of carrot cake so far. I haven't...

A cosy little corner bakery with the most amazing selection. The ham and cheese croissant is to die for! Superb croissant with top quality ham off the bone. Their is also a selection of top quality cakes and pastries. All served with friendly service.

Had some hot chocolate and come pastry's here. The hot chocolate was very good and so was my red velvet cup cake. Nice view on the Cutty Shark from the window. Friendly staff,.

We recently moved to the area and have always liked the look of this little cafe but what a mistake! Horrendous coffee with equally as bad cake. Chaotic staff who question customers choices too!There’s much nicer places in Greenwich to go to than here.

Grabbed a quick coffee here - coffee was good. we were happy to see that they have smaller portion cakes and bakes meaning that you can try more than one. The tart with taleggio and veggies was delicious. Would definitely go again when in greenwich...

I usually pass by there when going to work and i always get the big tasty cinnamon bun. i tried also the buiscuit with jam, very nice, and the little custard cakes. I love their food, very healthy on the go. The panini, all different,...

Date of Visit: Tuesday, Sept 4th, 2018 In the centre of town, you will find a busy cafe/bake shoppe -Paul Rhodes. They have a large selection of baked goods, premade sandwiches, many drink options, and much more. They seem to be a very popular cafe...

Not having cakes as in website So very disappointed As he is not on tv much Would hav loved to taste unusual cakes rather than smaller Costa versions at double price !!

Visited for lunch after seeing the curry Sark. Excellent stop for lunch. Small and very busy artisan bakery. Good selection of fresh breads and cakes. Variety of filled rolls. Lovely cappuccino. Has small seating area.

I came here for lunch with my boyfriend and we had the lentil salad followed by a mini cornbread jalapeño muffin and the carrot cake. All were delicious! We also tried the Villages sourdough bread which was amazing and we bought a loaf. Great place...

Stopped off here for a quick lunch whilst visiting Greenwich, and we were not disappointed! A lovely bakery, with super tasty sandwiches and cakes.

Be prepared to pay nearly £5 for a half sandwich. Basically you get very little filling. You guys have to do a lot better than that and stop taking the piss.

If you are fan of the smell of freshly baked bread and fresh brewed coffee that’s is the the best bakery on the go in Greenwich . The fresh baked breads are phenomenal super healthy and delicious . The coffee is organic medium roast and...

Really nice bakery with 2 ladies on Friday afternoon, they were so nice. And the red velvet cupcake was so good as well.

The staff were very friendly and upbeat, and the outward facing tables were great for people watching. Would recommend.

Firstly a question, why are mini fruit crumbles not more of a thing? I feel more bakeries should implement this, it permits the user to have something sweet without the guilt of having a full on sweet pastry. Anyway enough about the excellent mini peach...

Opposite the Old Royal Naval College. Lovely little bakery with scrumptious cakes. Had a very good pot of tea which was reasonably priced and a small cake. Very nice.

We stopped for a while, for coffee and desserts. Coffee is very good and also has a great variety of desserts.

Came on a quiet afternoon hence we are able to find three seats. No cutleries or napkins offered with the brownies, just came on a plate on its own. I have to make several trip to the country to ask for everything else from the...

Always coming here in the mornings before attending my lectures at the university of Greenwich. Pastries are amazing! Also the famous chocolate brownie is to die for!

Been there twice on London visits. Both times slight communication difficulties with the counter staff but kind of adds to the charm! Yesterday we ordered 2 (excellent) cakes (salted caramel tart, lemon tart) at the same time as coffee to drink in (but the cakes...

Lovely freshly baked goods and good place to stop off for a quick breakfast. The omelette pannini is particularly recommended.

Came for a coffee at 6pm today (Sunday), the two lovely young ladies in the shop were helpful & friendly, then a guy from the cellar came upstairs & started giving orders.. ***** staff * The bossman

We stopped in here on the way to the Naval College and the selection of cakes and sandwiches was excellent and it was a sunday morning. I had a mocha in a china cup as dislike paying and drinking from paper while the other half...

I’m a regular customer but in the last times the slices of cakes are getting inconsistent and the portions as well. On the other hand the staff gives a nice service. So definitely the price is too high for such small portions.

I read through the mixed reviews of this bakery but can only say positive things about my three visits. They have a large variety of pastries, crossiants and savory items to choose from and everything we tried was fresh and delicious. They were constantly restocking...

This bakery serves good quality sandwiches and cakes. There are limited seats but a cosy atmosphere with free wifi. Good location near the main marItime attractions.

I've tried one of their croissant and i was pleasantly surprised. Also the red velvet cake was delicious. They have a pretty good range of teas as well. The staff is very nice but I think it is expensive for what they give you. There...

We just stopped here for a snack breakfast after seeing the reviews on TA. The coffee was hot, freshly ground and delicious; the cinnamon swirl and spelt croissant perfectly fresh and very tasty. Service was fast and friendly. Highly recommended.

This is a small bakery on the corner near the City Cruises Greenwich Pier. Counter seating for about 8. Tremendous variety of fresh cakes, tarts, macaroons, etc. it's near the Cutty Sark and the Old Royal Naval College. Great place to grab a snack with...

We walked in about 10 minutes before the place was due to close, but the two lovely ladies who were serving said they were happy for us to sit in and have rolls and drinks while they were clearing up (this was a welcome change...

Lovely location opposite the naval college so we popped in for a snack. My wife wanted a plain sandwich but we were told there was no bread left! It is a sandwich shop!. She ordered a scone instead and was told there was no cream....

Having walked miles around London and then Greenwich we needed sustenance and called in here. Coffee was rather weak but the pastries were enjoyable especially the mini cheesecake.

No doubt the pastries here would be very enjoyable, if they were warmed through, and served on plates, by competent, polite staff. Sadly, this place is badly let down by the service. We gave our order no fewer than 4 times and it was still...

Stopped for some cakes and coffee. Coffee was weak. Cakes were hard and not fresh. Great location. Last stoped a while back and was good but seems to have changed in there since then.

Fab little stop in here on our way up to the Observatory, the cakes are amazing!! We've been dreaming about the mini cheesecakes ever since!

This is well positioned in Greenwich by the Royal Naval Buildings and it seems to be constantly busy. Understandable though when you go inside and see the wonderful cakes and sandwiches on offer. A real treat. Ordering and getting drinks was a bit chaotic but...

Friendly smiley staff and nice coffee in an interesting place. They have good looking bread, colourful meringues and some promising cakes. But the lemon polenta cake was DRY! but we enjoyed a nice small treacle tart and a pecan treacle tart.

Lovely bakery. I love their sandwiches, their cakes, the savoury snacks, the bread and the coffe as well :) I wish the place was bigger with more seating, I would definitely spend even more time there lol

Wonderful bakery. The soup was Vietnamese Pulled Pork. Almost a stew with toasted sour dough. . I've never been disappointed there. . The staff are courteous and friendly.

Deliciously creamy and rich cappuccino. I also treated myself to an almond croissant, which was light and buttery and completely yummy. This is a good place to stop on the way to or from the maritime museum. Prices at the museum cafe were shocking! So...

Visited Rhodes bakery after bad experience last time to give it the benefit of the doubt. While the bakery looks good the staff would rather chat between themselves that help customers who were clearly an inconvenience. The 'seating area' was filthy. There are now several...

Really nice bakery serving amazing breads, cakes and pastries! We usually always pop in for cappuccino and one of their divine bread rolls! They have an amazing variety of freshly baked breads.From rustic loaves, speciality sourdoughs and brioche buns to mouth watering cakes and tarts...

The food looks lovely and what we tried tasted delicious. The bakery takes great pride in its craft and pursues it worthily. We enjoyed the brownies and different kinds of coffees; the bread was very tempting! A great location in Greenwich and a charming store.

Had what was advertised as an apple caramel pie which had no caramel in it all. In the end this had the taste of a simple apple pie which was tasty and acceptable but a bit generic. Many other choices I wanted to try but...

tasty cappuccino, good selection of tasteful croissants and pastries and cool and friendly staff. ideal for a continental breakfast in the cutty sark area.

Staff is very very engaging, lively, and really really approachable. Recommends food along with coffee. I find this place around Greenwich very lovely.

This bakery was just down the street from my hotel in Notting Hill. I ate there multiple times for breakfast and take away. The food and baked goods are very good; however on two occasions the serving staff got the orders wrong.

Lovely little place next to the university. Coffee is a delight and the cakes are great. Excellent service

Had remarkably good coffee with a pastry at this corner café in Greenwich. Very pleasant staff. Good selection of pastries and cakes, as well as selling specialist breads, and some savoury breads and sandwiches/rolls. However, no seating at tables; 5 or 6 bar stools (though...

Went there for a quick bite. The lady who took our order was unfriendly and annoyed that we took our time to look at the selection before making a choice. There was nobody waiting to be served so I am not sure what this was...

They claim to serve the World's best brownie's. And its almost true. The pastries and snacks were brilliant. Staff are super courteous.

My husband and I visited Greenwich on a sunny Saturday in July. We bought coffee and cakes to take away. The princess cake and Victoria sponge were both delicious. We sat on a bench next to the river to eat them. Service was friendly and...

So this is a bakery and I really like their bread. I have to say that I am not such a fan of their cakes. When I get take away cake I am slightly disappointed, so my advice is stick to the bread.

Unfortunately Paul Rhodes in Greenwich allows dogs into the bakery. Although the dogs are meant to stay out of the way and away from the food, the dogs don't understand this. Two weeks ago I saw someone pat two dogs in there then proceed to...

A great little bakery offering high quality bakery products including a wide selection of fresh cakes, bread and "different from the norm" sandwiches; and all reasonably priced. Also serves usual hot and cold drinks. Sandwiches, which come in bagels or panini, include fillings such as...

The displays of sweet and savoury items here is mouth watering and make it difficult to choose! They claim to have the 'World's best brownie' which is a bold statement, so I had to give it a try. It is a really good brownie -...

Spoiled for choice with all the delicious offerings at this bakery! Only a handful of seats, but no problem on the sunny day we visited as we took coffees and pastries into the park 2 minutes away! Friendly staff and great selection - would highly...

I had breakfast here, before visiting the famous Portobello's market. The bakery looks and smells very good. There is plenty of choise among sweet and salted food. Bagels and cakes are delicious and even the cappuccino is good - which is not so easy when...

Having moved from the area I went back recently to visit Paul Rhodes & find the ambiance has improved with more people friendly tables & lowered counters. The food remains excellent & the chocolate eclairs with chocolate ganache filling just to die for!

We called in here for a quick cups and cake. 4 drinks and 3 cakes for £25 is a little steep. All the cakes were delicious but small. The teas were fine. You won't be disappointed at the quality but maybe the price. There isn't...

You don't expect to find a place like this in the heart of Greenwich open early on a weekend serving perfect proper coffee, and with a mouthwatering supply of fresh cakes. I thought I was dreaming! But the coffee was so good I realised I...

At that Bakery I ate my first Scones ever in my life and I still love them the most. Since then I tried more of their gorgeous food, and just gotta say, get in there folks!

As we were setting up early doors for Greenwich market a caffeine boost was needed and we were please to find Paul Rhodes open, our first visit. The coffees were served promptly and efficiently, plus we took a brownie (the world's best...how could we not!)....

If you like bakery products, especially cakes, then this place is a must. I had coffee & walnut cake, which was delightful. My partner had a brownie. They claim to have the best brownie in UK or World (cant remember which). This is a huge...

Most appalling service at this cafe today. Rude person serving, my husband had to clean the counter and now hes forgotten my almond croissant sold the last one to someone else.

We found this bakery by chance when we were wandering around Greenwich waiting for places to open. It was just what we wanted! We both ordered a hot chocolate and my husband had a Belgian bun (though he could have spent all day deciding between...

After a couple of hours walking around playing tourist in Greenwich I was in desperate need of warm and a treat and this bakery was there just calling me in; what a pleasure to find an independent bakery selling beautifully looking cakes, chocolates and pastries...
