Pink Lane Bakery in Newcastle upon Tyne

Great breakfast and lunch menu. Lovely atmosphere at the back of the bakery, the selection of fresh artisan breads looked delicious. Went for a sandwich and side salad, very wholesome and tasty. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Great location, definitely will call again.

I love Pink Lane Bakery! Me and my family buy a bread there couple times a week! On the way back to home, I'm always having their delicious coffee. Adore this place and the staff!

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.

Each bite was perfection!! I am a lover of almond croissants and sourdough. Pink lane bakery has master both of them. We visited the gosforth site ( couldn’t find on here) for our bread & morning pastry’s. The almond croissant was fresh, fluffy & fantastic. Full of flavour and the right amount of almond filling. The sourdough was perfect. My gut thanks me for providing it with some fresh active bacteria.

Having had numerious recommendations to visit jesmond, I did so today. Staff very welcoming 😃 I purchased a 50/50 Sour Dough & Rye (Very Delicious) also purchased a 100% Rye very disappointed, still very wet inside unfortunately it got fed to the birds as couldn’t eat it toasted or untoasted 👎☹️ Lemon Meringue Pie was very tasty also. Also purchased a Garlic Chicken sandwich from the fridge again very nice. Hopefully next time the baker will use less water, allow more time to proof and enjoy an even heat in the oven,

I came into this bakery during mid-afternoon when it was very quiet looking for something to eat for breakfast the following morning. The proprietor was very friendly and made some small talk which put me at ease. I ordered 2 pretzels and a choc-au-pain which were delicious to eat. The prices weren't too bad either. I love this bakery and I'll return here when I'm next in Newcastle.

We popped in for a coffee and sweet treat after an active morning and the place still had a nice buzz to it. Clearly it had been popular as a few of the items were sold out but I managed to have a lovely slice of carrot cake with my flat white. It was a great portion size for the price. The building itself isn't the most cosy, but it's good for a group visit and quick service.

Never again. The sausage roll was expensive and tasted horrible. My husband and his friend, not penny pinchers also purchased the sausage rolls and threw them away. Expensive and horrible.

Only visit here if you love fantastic bread pastries and simple fresh food. Pastry lovers heaven and fresh bagels. Superb pastel de nayas 10/10 other branches around The Toon all good coffee superb as well. I haven't even mentioned the wide range if delicious artisan breads

Have walked past here a number of times but came for lunch and wasn’t disappointed. It’s not large so you might have to wait a little while for a table but it was absolutely packed which is a great sign. Amazing sandwiches for lunch that were toasted on their own sourdough and came with a small little potato and salad, which was delicious, the staff are working really hard but obviously very very busy so had to ask a couple of times for some water cutlery but that wasn’t their fault. Great sausage rolls too in a shortcrust pastry

Great use of a heritage building and wonderful to see an alternative to the chain and supermarket mafia. Fine array of baked goods and fresh sandwiches and drinks. The chicken tarragon and focaccia is triumphant and the pastries sublime, served with pleasure and a friendly smile. Love the place

Frequently see staff handling money and using the till's touch screen, then physically picking up the bread chosen by customers with their non-gloved hands. This is very unhygienic and will likely spread faecal and other organisms onto food then being consumed. Very frustrating!

Visited morning of 21 October to Gosforth Bakery. Members of staff were having a good time, singing, dancing chatting amongst themselves - which in itself is no bad thing. However it meant the one person on the till / serving (everyone else was baking) clearly wasn’t listening to my order. Returned home to find that, yes indeed - it was completely wrong. Disappointing for a business that usually does so well on customer service - perhaps just some staff training needed on the importance of customers and what happens if they lose faith in a business…. … hopefully the long queue of customers behind me had a better experience today.

Delicious lunch with cousin. Both vegetarians, great selection. I had the chickpea, sweet potato & spinach pie with a tasty salad. Atmosphere was lovely. Chatting to locals. Staff very helpful & friendly. Had cake to take away too.

I am so hugely impressed with the Pink Lane Cafe in Jesmond. The coffee is excellent and fresh and made with care and barista trained - great tasting coffee is hugely important and is so much better coffee than what is served up with any of the big chain. And this makes the Pink Lane Cafe stand out. Not just the coffee stands out though folks. All the patisseries are freshly baked and seriously delicious. The croissants are gorgeous and the best I’ve tasted. I had them every day for breakfast. I’ve also bought many of their amazing other patisseries too. There is lots of choice as well. You can sit in and order food, or take away. As a family we have done both. And there is more… the difference that makes all the difference in my opinion are the friendliest and most engaging staff in any cafe I’ve visited - and I visit a lot. All the staff are interested in you and take time to engage with you if that is what you like. To me this makes me happy to be recognised, acknowledged and to have a real authentic conversation with great people makes my day and the guys at the Pink Lane Cafe in Jesmond do this with aplomb. Keep going - the Pink Lane Cafe in Jesmond rocks. Visit it. Andrew Jenkins

What a fantastic place ! Staff were friendly and very helpful as we needed to check out a rapeseed oil allergy before we could order. Delicious BLTs and a bacon sandwich served in a funky and colourful cafe area. The breads and range of breads are excellent. Best pastel di nata and almond croissants I've ever had. One almond croissant lasted me all the way to London on the train - it was a very generous size and didn't stint on the almonds. I wish I lived nearer to Jesmond!

A very rude and unprofessional experience. I'm a regular customer. Live locally and go several times a week to their Jesmond shop. Their member of staff sold me two foccacias and took payment. She was then very rudely humiliated by the female owner/manager and it honestly never looked professional. Insisted I was then refunded as she was unable to sell me one foccacia which was set aside for the sandwiches, apparently. I was also spoken to in a condescending way. I sense an element of arrogance now that Pink lane bakery has the reputation it does. Well as a regular customer, I've changed my view and will no longer be visiting. Absolutely disgusted what I experienced. Would have been easier to just sell me the foccacia to be honest and let her know politely after that future sales of those set aside should be avoided. I'm quite taken aback by this encounter.

It's a n independent staffed by a team who work very hard to produce a vast array of sweet and savoury baled goods and also serve local groceries, eggs and sundry produce AND serve up a mean coffee. Always service with a smile and the pastries, brownies and sausage rolls are a joy. Lovely bread and we're sure the rest of the produce is spot on, we've just not had the chance to try it yet. Support your local independents. Look beyond the Greggs!

Bought the best Almond Croissant and baguette that I have had since a trip to Paris…staff were really friendly…if you want really decent baked goods go here!!! A lovely little discovery!!! 😊👍

Rude and unhelpful staff - I arrived at the shop 3 minutes before opening time, but the member of staff refused to serve me. Products are decent but way overpriced. Worrying that the staff appear to put other tasks ahead of customers.

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

I visit regularly with family and the food is consistently amazing. The shelves are always well stocked with sausage rolls, croissants, sourdough loaves, brownies, and many other sweets and savouries along with some local products such as milk and cheese. There is one problem we always have when visiting Pink Lane Bakery though, and that is the constant queues where you are standing outside, usually in the cold, for a very long time. I would recommend that a large overhang or tent should be installed around that area to make the experience better and more enjoyable.

We love Pink Lane Bakery on Acorn Road. The coffee is amazing and consistently well made. The staff are friendly and we have always been greeted with a smile. The bacon sandwich is excellent..As a toast lover I would like to see the bread for toast cut more thickly. I’d rather have 2 well cut slices instead of 4 wafer thin slices.

I was very disappointed with the Panettone which the whole family were excited to try on Christmas morning. It was very dry with hardly any fruit and sadly no one ate it. We have been getting pastries and bread regularly since the bakery opened and they have been amazing.

We've spent all of our last pounds on the delicious baked goods. Both sweet and savoury were delicious. I wish I would have discovered it earlier. Friendly staff as well!

The baked treats tasted amazing, while the freshly baked bread was soft and delicious. The staff member serving us Adam was very friendly and knowledgeable about the goods and made great recommendations.

Amazing food, amazing staff! Not often I write a review but felt compelled after our visit today. Really delicious food with a lovely atmosphere - dog friendly too! Staff were welcoming and friendly, despite clearly being very busy. The vegan sausage rolls were incredible. Spoke to some lovely locals who told us they come every Saturday without fail! I think I might be joining them! Thank you for a super start to our weekend x

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 wateringly goodies we knew we had to give it a go!...

I was looking for a bakery close to our hotel and googled the one nearest. It was a small bakery on Pink Lane in Newcastle but don’t let the size fool you. Their bakery items are very good, made from scratch. Staff are friendly too!...

Safe to say we are regulars at both their Gosforth and City Centre locations. The quality, variety and flavours of baked goods offered clearly demonstrates the talent and love that goes into making them. Personal favourites include the rosemary & sea salt focaccia, mega cinnamon...

Discovered this place recently after working very close. Absolutely lovely little gem! The cheese scones are the best ive ever tasted. Also the home made treats are lovely too. Especially the brownies. Highly recommend this place.

PINK LANE BAKERY Sausage Rolls are the best I have tasted EVER -They areTO DIE FOR. £2.80 but worth double that trust me. A Taste Sensation

Stayed in this area for a few days and always looking out for local bakeries and this is a gem! Over 2 days tried the mushroom and miso rolls, cheese stottie and cinamon buns. Great food that is fresh and very tasty. Could not recommend...

Just to be clear, this is a review about the Gosforth shop. What a difference a couple of days make. Saturday, one Pink Lane Sour Dough Loaf £3.00. Monday, £3.50. That’s a 17% increase! To make matters worse it was also the worst loaf I’ve...

Great range or pastries / baked goods and good coffee. I come here most weeks as the the food is interesting and the staff are warm and friendly. Would absolutely recommend the squash, sage & almond pastry if it’s available! Advance warning: no seating

I usually visit the Gosforth branch of this bakery, but the food is the same at both and the Gosforth one doesn't seem to be on TripAdvisor. This place stands out from the crowd for the quality of food they sell. I have tried a...

I absolutely love this independent bakery in the heart of Newcastle. If you love Sausage Rolls please try the Rosemary and Pancetta sausage roll from here. They're gorgeous

Hemos caminado por aquí muchas veces cuando estábamos en Newcastle y dijimos que debíamos probarlo.Hoy tomamos algunas golosinas en el camino a la estación de tren: algunos pasteles y rollos de salchicha. Estaba un poco desconcertado por los precios (2,50 por un pequeño rollo de salchicha).Sin embargo, nos metimos en las delicias en el tren y todos fueron absolutamente deliciosos. Fue desafortunado que estuviéramos en el tren y pudiéramos comprar más.Definitivamente vamos a probar algo más la próxima vez que estemos en Newcastle.

Great little place offering a good variety of options, including vegan options. First come first served so get there at a good time. Sausage rolls are my fav!

. . . escondido en un pequeño carril cerca del centro de la ciudad de Newcastle. No ser extrañado. No tenía idea de qué probar y elegí un par de cosas. No hace falta decir que volví tan pronto como pude para probar otros productos. Fue una delicia encontrar esta panadería y sus productos son increíblemente frescos, de buena calidad e increíblemente sabrosos.

Yum Yum! We loved this little place. Wish we could have gone everyday. Salty Rosemary Focaccia, mushroom and brie pastry, and a loaf of bread. Recommend!

Just discovered this tiny place a week ago - the bread is really excellent and the cakes are pretty brilliant too. We also bought a cheese and potato pasty each which was stuffed to popping. while we waited out turn to be served we watched the guy rolling out the next batch of pastry in the kitchen - can't get better than that and better than staring at your phone!! We live over 20miles away from Newcastle but we make the journey just to get decent bread. Don't pass this one by -buy one!

Entré en la panadería Pink Lane para tomar un aperitivo en el desayuno. Comida real hecha por gente real, ¡una verdadera joya artesanal!Todo se veía tan encantador. Elegimos rebanadas de queso y champiñones, que estaban llenas de interesantes texturas de champiñones y un sabroso queso y un rollo de salchicha que estaba delicioso e incluía puerro con abundante relleno de carne de calidad. Podríamos haber comido toda la tienda, pero desafortunadamente no tuvimos suficientes días en Newcastle, definitivamente volveremos en nuestra próxima visita a tu hermosa ciudad. ??

This small bakery delivers on flavours and original recipes.They make a wide range of breads and pizza. All delicious.Also the sausage rolls ,pasties and cakes are amazing. All baked fresh on the premises.Always a smile and warm welcome too.Coffee and sandwiches available also.Give it a try you won’t regret it.The focaccia is one of my favourites as well as the mini stotties .

Pink lane bakery is a lovely bakery with delicious pastries and cakes, especially their sausage rolls and the mushroom and Brie pastry is very tasty.

Me consideraría un poco como un visitante regular de panadería y pensé que este lugar era genial.Mucha variedad y todo parecía increíble. Tomamos un stottie, un rollo de salchicha, un pretzel y un par de pasteles diferentes y todos fueron realmente encantadores.Definitivamente visitaría este lugar en otra visita a Newcastle! ! Si te gusta una buena panadería, ve a buscar este lugar.

What a lovely bakery, just passed it whilst walking then turned around as I was so tempted by their delicious looking food. Beef n Jalapeño pasty or Sausage roll with Pancetta & Rosemary..?

Tiny little bake house. We bought stotties ( a muffin like bap) in whole early and plain white, a wholemeal sourdough loaf, cheese ' onion Pasty and a mushroom pastry. They were all excellent, baked fresh (and devoured on the same day) A lesson to all mass bakers THIS IS WHAT PROPER BAKING IS.

Just passed this shop today and was tempted in for the first time. I ordered the beef and jalopeno pie and some cakes.

First experience at the bakery and in some ways I was impressed, others a little disappointed.

Nice little place - open early morning - shop for croissants, pains au chocolat and other enjoyable things with a coffe to go - you might also like a bread or at lunch sandwiches - bread making can be seen done whilst waiting your turn or sometimes after shop is closed

When we're in Newcastle, we tend to grab breakfast pastries or sandwiches from them. Their cakes are also lush. I'm not a vegan myself, but their chocolate beetroot cake is the best chocolate cake I've ever had. Just the right amount of richness and packed with flavour. Their pastries are also fantastic, and their coffee is pretty decent. We've also had some of their sandwiches and breads, which are also pretty good. Very good and friendly customer service when I ordered over the phone. Oh, and their prices are very reasonable. Will definitely keep going back.

Ok bold claim maybe. But I stumbled upon it accidentally and I'm so glad I did.

Tucked away on a little alley, this is a stunning little bakery selling all manner of baked goods. The was a queue outside the shop when I visited and pizza was flying off the shelves. Staff very friendly and looked like they poured their heart and soul into this place. Well worth a detour.

Whether it's their sausage rolls, 'British Rail' Ginger cake or the lovely foccacia ... This place is brilliant. Also do takeaway tea & coffee. Can't recommend highly enough!

Genuinely the best lemon drizzle cake I’ve ever had (the blueberries really complemented it!). My boyfriend said the brownies was “splendiferous”. The lady working was really friendly too. My only criticism is it’s not open at 9pm because I’m craving another slice!!

Wandering past and smelt the amazing smells that float from this shop. popped my head in and there was a counter full of sour dough pizzas . a steal at £2.50 and absolutely delicious . Ill definitely be back

Brilliant vegan chocolate & beetroot cake. Definitely worth a visit for that alone although the granola bars are a close second favourite!

Passed here lots of times and loved it . The sausage rolls are excellent and also the artichoke and blue cheese pizza very tasty. Well worth a try .

We were passing doing a tourist trail when our eyes were caught by the magnificent fare in the window. We had to go in a buy something. The cakes looked great and so did the bread. We left with cakes and bread which were excellent.

What a find this tiny independent bakery is! Almost hidden away at the top of Pink Lane, a narrow alleyway en route to Newcastle train station, you can pick up a fabulous lunch and/or wonderful bread freshly made and of high quality. On my first visit I tried the pancetta sausage roll and flourless chocolate almond cake, and when I go again, soon, I will try the sourdough bread and probably a small pizza bread for lunch. Definitely worth seeking out! Open 8-4, I’m told they sometimes sell out and close early. I’m not surprised at all!

the sourdough bread is just amazing. I don't have a sweet tooth, so cannot comment on the cakes, but their breads and savory sausage rolls etc are great.

Went here yesterday had the nicest sausage roll I've ever had in my life and lovely cake afterwards definitely go again

Pink Lane Bakery is a great little place which is worth going out of your way for. The bread, especially the sourdough, has a real depth of flavour, while the pastries are light and delicious. Go there - you won't be disappointed!
