Pink Lane Bakery in Newcastle upon Tyne

Tasty pastries but takeaway only

Spotted this bakery while walking about. Amazing pastries. Got an almond croissant, which I ate straight away, so no picture but it was a big croissant. The salt beef pretzel sandwich was delicious.

Yum pastries and great oat milk flat whites darling! British Rail gingerbread FTW

Great coffee you can find food and coffee Halal ❤️ The café is amazing, with croissants and delicious coffee right in the morning

A lovely bakery with lovely staff. I got these: - Banana and chocolate loaf (rate: 3/5) - it could be better. - Almond croissant (rate: 5/5) - plain croissant (rate 5/5). Good luck, guys.

I regularly visit the Newcastle shop, mostly for the excellent plant based options, the vegan croissants are the best I’ve ever had, the miso and mushroom roll is also a total star. But regardless if you are vegan or not the selection of pastries / cakes, breads and sandwiches are vast, always served by some of the friendliest lovely people I have met since moving to the Toon in 2016, Pink Lane Bakery is absolute gem of a place.

The sausage rolls are super delicious 🤤 I will be going back!

Excellent baked goods. Especially the caramel brownies, pastal de nata, and sourdough loaves.

Possibly the best steak and ale pie I've had and the caramel brownie was pretty good as well.

I always visit Pink Lane when I visit Newcastle. Everything make is delicious.

Everything perfect. From the kindness of the girls who serve to the quality of the food. We ordered 2 cinnamon buns that were very good. The espresso coffee was very good. I recommend having breakfast here if you are in Newcastle. It is a little hidden but quite central.

What a fantastic independent bakery. The staff were so friendly and their baked goods are to die for. Their sausage roll was how a sausage roll should be, loads of meat and really crumbly, flakey pastry. The cinnamon roll is lovely and the carrot cake is heavenly along with their delicious hot chocolate. Absolutely fantastic!!

We were pleasantly surprised to see such a long queue in the morning! It was at 9:45am, and this bakery was bustling with life. The baked goods were delicious. The cheese pastries (can’t remember the name, something like a cheesecake?), cinnamon buns, and the coffees were splendid. This was our first time visiting in the morning, and it was lovely to see the variety of baked goods available. The smell was heavenly.

The food at Vegetarian is quite delicious. Croissant has a perfectly crispy skin Soft biscuits are not good, maybe they are not to my taste.

Sourdough is unbelievable excited to try the rest :) chocolate croissants also unreal!

Got two items, they didn't have the iced bun I went it for but had other options. Pleased with the vegan option which wasn't expected. Nice to see a independent Baker and was reasonably priced.

The brownies were good, goowy & very “chocolatey”. Also try the pastel de nata! Blueberry cheesecake pastry was ok the carrot cake was bad, very dry as if it was not freshly baked. Overall the bakery is worth the try!

Great service and great products. Thoroughly enjoyed the food I bought this morning

Wonderful little bakery with lovely staff. Many delicious savoury and sweet options, including dairy free/vegan options. I can highly recommend the whipped goat cheese sandwich (the bread is amazing) and the blueberry danish. Might need to come back to Newcastle just for this place.

Raspberry crumble danish is perfect

The Pink Lane Bakery have a name for great artisan food. It is all true, the food is great in a lovely environment.

I accidentally passed by this bakery and got myself a raspberry crumble and a banana&choco loaf cake. Didn’t expect them to be so amazing!!! The staff who ordered for me was really lovely. I’d love to try more bakery next time!

Lovely little independent bakery. The person serving is was lovely and service was quick. Gave us directions to a lovely Chinese garden round the corner to sit and eat in. There was a great selection of freshly baked pastries and they were massive. Proper Yorkshireman portion! Really fair priced considering the size of them too! When you can shake a stick in Newcastle and hit 4 different Gregg's it's nice to put money in an independent bakery. Forgot to take photos as we were famished and ate everything before I remembered! This is an easy 5* and will absolutely return whenever we go back to Newcastle again

We brought a mixed seed sourdough yesterday and it was soooooo good!! We toasted it and had it with scrambled eggs, but had to go back for more. It was even better just buttered! Could have eaten the whole loaf! Looking forward to coming back for more!!

This is the best croissant I've ever had !!!!

Fabulous tarts and cakes the pastry and consistency and tastes are amazing - too good lol xxxx

lovely bakery, lovely food, lovely staff, just wish you could get your food reheated. never the less, very nice

I worked nearby and for lunch had the steak and ale pie. Which is excellent. Think Greggs steak bake but a posh version. Baked in a lovely shortcrust pastry. They apparently do the pies for the Red House pub on the quayside. So, most of the time they'd have the pies, not impressed that sometimes they hadn't baked enough. It was a 10 minute walk from work. So to get there and find no pies...... I only had half an hour for lunch. They also do a veggie pie. Butternut squash and spinach and something, with a hint of coconut. It ain't steak. Oh. And btw. There's a step up at the bakery door. But I'm sure the staff would be more than happy to help out.

The best Nata and sausage roll I’ve had in the UK!!!! Newcastle should be proud of it!

Staff so friendly! Always love calling for a coffee on way to the office as it’s a great start to my day seeing such lovely people 😀

The pretzels are next level 👌 and the croissants are better than Paris. Sublime!

Showcasing a variety of pâtisseries and cakes, beautiful bread, it's a stopper if you ever in town. Im a fan.

I've been a big fan of Pink Lane Bakery over the years. Everything is good but my personal favourites are the mince pies at Christmas time (best mince pies I have ever had by some margin) and the cheese savoury stottie.

💗 I love this bakery 💗 Fabulous savoury & sweet bakes, bread is beautiful, staff are so friendly and cheerful 🥰

Mrs ordered me a cake for my birthday, and it was absolutely brilliant! Plus their other pastries and coffees are keen, too.

My wife and I went in for a coffee and a pastry while waiting for our son to finish his saturday school. We had about 40'. There were some people but tables were available. We sat down after having asked to a waiter. The table was cleaned immediately but we had to wait about 20' before being able to place the order. When the order was placed it took again quite some time to receive the coffee and the pastry. When the coffee arrived I asked for some sugar. It was so late that I could not drink the coffee and I had my pastry while walking. Interesting, other people arrived after us, were served first. So, eventually after having waited for about 40' I did not manage to drink my coffee (but I paid for it)! Not impressed by the service (at all).

Ordered the Chocolate Ganache Celebration Cake for my partner’s birthday and it was incredible! The perfect cake to icing ratio. I had to change my delivery date last minute and they were so sweet and understanding about it.

One of my absolute favourite bakeries. I’ve tried all their baked goods and I always recommend them to my friends and family who pass by it. Yet this time service was ruined by a new employee (young girl) who was quite snappy and rushed us, despite there was no queue.

The best bakery in town for sure! We come here all the way from London and we look forward to it! No doubt the flavours are awesome whether that be savoury or sweet, and prices are very reasonable for the portions and quality. Good area for seating available too as well as large variety of option. They also serve breakfast and other meals as well as treats you can takeaway. Highly recommend Pink Lane Bakery!

Excellent coffee and bakes with super staff.

Very friendly quick service, Thank you very much for helping me, the respected and friendly seller Would highly recommend.❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹

Great independent bakery with artisan bakes such as sourdough pizza by the slice and frangipane tart both of which were delicious.

Coffee was lovely, but ordered 2 different foods and both were sold out .

Superb pastries. Great coffee. A secluded location, which makes it all the better.

The raspberry crumble danish was delicious 😋

Got a beautiful flat white and almond croissant - breakfast of the gods

Beautiful delicious flaky pastry. Yum yum yum.

Great food, really well thought through, loads of choice and options. Could buy everything in the shop

Excellent service from all the staff and tasty toastie, coffee and cake, would highly recommend.

Almond croissant was delicious would highly recommend it.

bought an almond croissant this morning, around quarter past nine. It's now twenty to four in the afternoon and I'm Still Full. This was the most majestic, densest pastry I have ever eaten. Top marks on the sustenance front. Will definitely be returning.

Cute, warm bakery. The sourdough bread was good, but the lye knots were mediocre, not authentic, and the waitress was very friendly.

Have been a few times now. I got a really lovely selection of treats for a birthday which went down really well. There are also plenty of vegan and vegetarian options available. Will definitely be back soon!

Hi just to say a massive thank you . I was short changed by mistake on Friday rang them up and straight away was told to come back. I went back on Saturday morning and this fantastic company gave me a iced coffee and a Cinamon pastry which was both lovely I thought that was such a nice gesture fab staff thank you so much xxx

I wish it was a Chinese bakery. Then I would go there every time I go to Newcastle

Superb little bakery! They have so many different pastries and everything we tried was superb (incl. several vegan options). Pricing is v reasonable and the coffee is good too. Will definitely be back when I'm in Newcastle!

We had iced coffees on Friday ,the service was wonderful ,we went back in for breakfasts on sat , bacon rolls , filled croissants ,we will certainly be back in to try the cakes.

It is a really nice place and their staff are very nice and always smiling. Thank you very much

A lovely bakery with friendly, quick service. I've been getting my coffee from here almost daily for over a year - and it's always delicious. Feels great to support a smaller business, especially when the baristas are so kind and make an effort with every customer. And you get 25p discount for using reusable cup/flasks too!

The stottie and gingerbread were delightful. Lovely spot in Newcastle.

A brilliant small bakery within a stones throw of Central Station Perfect for a quick coffee and a cake or for their beautiful breads

Best Almond Croissant you will ever have

Amazing viennoiseries : especially pains au chocolat, croissants aux amandes !!! They are perfectly realized! Newcastle is so lucky to have a so high quality bakery. The beef pies are succulent, the best I have ever taste! It's the place to go, that's not far from the train station and the city center.

Working around the corner popped in for first time,outstanding pie and sausage roll and the millionaire shortbread,will definitely recommend staff are really friendly

The best almond croissant I’ve ever had!

The one star is purely for Phil who was absolutely lovely and a pleasure to be served by. It’s a shame the same can’t be said for the rest of the experience at the cafe in Jesmond. £11.50 for a pasty and coffee after being advertised as just under £4 for the pasty. You are not told that when you sit in the prices vary and you are served a side dish of salad that increased the price drastically. That aside, I paid for it as I understand prices are sometimes higher when sat in. After being asked why we didn’t eat the salad I simply explained I did not order it nor did I really want it. The waiter then went to speak with the manager on his own accord who then shouted across the cafe ‘no they can pay for it’ (it was already paid for). The waiter Phil was being very attentive and I believe the manager can learn a lot from his great customer service skills. The manger then proceeded to lie to us after we stated we wanted to speak with her after what we heard her shout. She then passed the blame onto an employee and took no responsibility and said she sent her home, we later walked past and seen she was still there. After an offer of some pastries (which we declined) and saying she would refund us came back a few minutes later with a pastry and a £5 voucher, despite saying we would not feel comfortable going back. Will not be returning.

Amazing Cinamon buns, coffee is proper coffee

Been a regular if not frequent customer for a while, and keep forgetting to leave a review, so here goes: it’s amazing. Honestly, some of the best pastries I’ve ever had the pleasure of eating (and I’ve eaten a lot of pastries), bread is excellent and the pricing offers stupendous value. The danishes are particularly great.

high quality, quick & very friendly service! i love visiting when i’m in town

Beast of an almond croissant. Very tasty, almost cake like.

The carbs are soooo good. Best carbs in town. One point knocked off for the cafe though as it can be very draughty so not quite the comfort point of similar cafes.

I'm not sure wether this has always been the case… or was the usual almond frangipani filling you’d usually expect in an almond croissant missed out by accident on one I purchased from your branch in Jesmond earlier today ? If it’s usually the case then basically it’s it’s just pastry with a few almonds scattered on top along with a dusting of icing sugar….which is not very up to standards in my opinion. Also the raspberry and custard danish… yes whilst it was ok (5/10) the raspberry sauce looked to be just a dollop of cheap raspberry jam from a jar ? Which in turn made it too sweet and sickly. A better approach would be a fresh raspberry coulis with a little icing sugar so not overly sweet, leaving it still a little tart to then contrast with the sweetness from the custard, thus making it more balanced and enjoyable. On a plus note 👍🏻 the pancetta sausage rolls are worthy of a Michelin star in their own right, and the railway gingerbread cake is top notch also. 😋👌🏻 Review update ! 😀 Hi, so upon your reply relating to yesterdays review…. I popped in to the Newcastle shop on pink lane to collect my almond croissant which you kindly offered as a good will gesture; I informed the staff working there of yesterday’s croissant missing it’s filling and they were totally understanding and with no qualms gave me a free replacement. I didn’t quite catch their names, but both the lady and gentleman working were lovely and a credit to your establishment. 🤜🏻🤛🏻 As for the croissant it was perfect this time around and very delicious indeed 😋 definitely worthy of ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Kindest regards, Andrew

Tiny but a with some lovely bakery goods at reasonable prices if you go try the almond croissant

Lovely bread knocking out some fine savoury products here. Good job.

Delightful place. Absolutely delicious. And the best cheese scone I've ever eaten!

Very friendly quick service. All the items in the window are really well labelled with allergens. Great variety of sweet and savoury treats. The coffee is one of the best I have had in a while. Would highly recommend

Amazing selection of baked goods that change frequently, I'd recommend their gingerbread, pear and blackberry cobbler and pretzels! Adam, one of your servers/bakers is always lovely and makes sure to ask about my day and make conversation, would love to see a larger selection of fillings in your pretzels soon as I don't eat beef!

Become a little local legend. Great food.

Sausage roll devoured. Miso mushroom roll was totally delicious and Best blondie ever!!! We love pink lane bakery 😍

Very good quality of food. Variety for meat eaters with a lovely Salt Beef pretzel or vegie options including pastries and Cheese savoury scottie and even a range of vegan friendly food. The quality is really good and the staff are friendly. I would definitely recommend this.

Great little pizzas (£2.85) and small sour dough Stotties 3 for £1.30, service was lovely too and pizzas were fresh out the oven ♥️

I love this little hole in the wall. Best pastries in Newcastle centre!

Honestly... best cheese pasty I've had in my life! Buzzing this is round the corner from my new job.

We love it! Especially focaccia and almond croissants 🥐

Cute bakery, highly recommend the crack pie. The place is really popular so make sure you go early to avoid disappointment!

Banana chocolate cake is the best

Everything is fresh and delicious. There is a large selection is pastries and there are often new ones to try 🥐 The savoury foods are perfect for lunch They have great coffee too! ☕️ Lots of vegetarian options I would just like it if the opening hours could be extended 😊

Best small bakery in Newcastle.

Great brownies. Sells out really early.

My favourite bakery in the Toon! The quality of their breads, pastries and cakes are top notch. I always enjoy their baked cheesecake, focaccia, banana and chocolate cake and sausage rolls! Can't go wrong with any of these options. The staff are always friendly and super quick with their service as well. Can't recommend this place enough!

Beautiful bread, pastries and other treats. Lovely service too, it's no wonder people queue (in a fast moving orderly way) to buy the products.

Absolutely fantastic little bakery almost hidden away in a wee side road. Great selection of sweet and savoury treats. Best cinnamon rolls/knots I've ever had.

Excellent all round with the best almond croissants ever!

Best almond croissant I've ever tasted! Really made my day!😊

Pink Lane Bakery is a well kept secret, supported by a steady army of devotees queuing outside in all weathers. Everyone has their own favourite - mine is their phenomenal granola bar, washed down with a Flat White. The team are lovely. Some mornings they could do with one of them making coffee whilst the other serves in the doorway, but this all adds to the charm, the anticipation and the event!

Amazing little hotspot, can't think of another place with cinnamon buns and cappuccinos this good!

A lovely bakery! We came past Pink Lane Bakery on the off chance (we don't live in Newcastle) and I'm so pleased we did! As soon as we went past and saw the mouth watering goodies we knew we had to give it a go! A good sign was that there was a queue of about 2 in front of us and they seemed like locals. We spent the short time queuing resisting the urge to get one of everything as it all looked so good!! Everything looked so fresh and homemade. When it was our turn we explained to the lady we weren't from Newcastle and this was our first time at the bakery and in the city. We ordered the sourdough loaf, a jalapeno and cheese pretzel, pastel de natas and a berry frangipan. I struggled deciding on the frangipan or the lemon and fennel cake that was on offer but with the help of the lady decided on the former. When we got home we realised she kindly put a free lemon and fennel cake in AND what looked like another pretzel (I'm sure we only paid for one so I'm guessing the 2nd was thrown in for free). A lovely kind gesture....thank you! The cakes and loaf were so yummy. The pastel de natas were so delicious, not like the eggy ones you usually get - very fresh and light. The pretzels were doughy and soft, with a good amount of toppings. The frangipan was really good too. And the loaf was delicious, it lasted quite a few days and it's perfect with soups or as toast. Will be visiting here again whenever I'm back in Newcastle. Thank you for the lovely service and the kind gestures!

The best bakery in Newcastle! Delicious food, their pastries are the best I’ve ever had - while also having good portions and being very affordable (especially for the outstanding quality). Staff have always been friendly and they sometimes do local markets too which is a lovely bonus

Service good but asked for streaky bacon in the bacon sarnie to be really crispy. They put the bacon sarnie onto another table then ran back for it before placing it on our table. The rind was barely cooked so we informed the waitress that took our order. Her reply was the bacon is pre cooked and we'd have to reheat it to get it crispy. The other issue with our order was there were no pain au chocolates available as it took them sooooo long (20mins)to make the bacon sarnie, plenty when we walked into the place though. We told the waitress we just wanted to pay for the drinks and left. #neveragain

Had a brownie and a goats cheese sandwich. Both were substantial and delightful. What a fantastic little place. Lady who served me was lovely. Things taste as good as they look.
