Reeve The Baker - Winchester in Winchester

Lunchtime hunger saw us opt for this lovely little bakery, it was rammed with customers but service was very efficient.- superb selection of pasties and cakes for all requiremennts - excellent service from counter and serving staff. Lots of tea selection, but maybe a more comprehensive selection of teas ! Nevertheless a great place to go for lunch. Great tea-pot by the way !

Friendly, helpful service. Lovely food. We had nice, fresh baps/sandwiches. Would go back again for a breakfat/brunch.

What a lovely friendly lady at the counter this afternoon, so nice to have such cheerful customer service and the cherry bakewell slice was the best I have ever tasted. She asked if I had nut allergies too which was thoughtful. Ten out of ten :) Sorry I can't add a photo as I've just scoffed the entire cake, crumbs and part of my husband's cake too. Happy days.

Order at the counter (downstairs) and consume upstairs, you have to check if a table is available but you can't reserve and then queue with take away customers, not being sure whats available means queues naturally build and made longer for all, then table you thought was available is taken up? Not sure what is achieved by this? Have visited 3 times last 8 weeks, left on first occasion, stayed on the second (the waitress kindly saved us a table) and left today. Very very disappointed

Good selection of pastries, cakes and sandwiches. Very friendly staff they even gave us one of their renowned cheese straws to try. We had a mixture of sausage rolls and cakes and all were fresh and very nice.

Wonderful bread - we went back three days running to buy more. I wish there was a Reeve bakery in Leamington Spa!

We bought some pastries to takeaway, a pasty and pie, two cheese and bacon pastries and a couple of cakes. All were delicious, and still tasted fresh even a few days later

Excellent selection of food, patient (so much to choose from) friendly and helpful staff. The cafe area was quiet, calm and comfortable. A wonderful place to visit

Cold and stale almond croissant which I paid more for to have in their initially freezing cafe ( heating switched on after arriving). Orders have to be placed in shop so not the relaxing environment as previously. Expensive coffee. Will be going to Costa next time.

Just tried one of their pasties. Succulent & absolutely delicious. Well worth the queue! Will be back. No wonder they get such good reviews!

I went into the Winchester branch and brought a doughnut from there, the thing that made me feel sick was when I pulled a hair out from the custard, it was a long brown hair. I felt disgusted and sick that they don’t wear hairnets. I would not go back there again.

The service is outstanding the waiter will help you with anything and the food is to die for I would extremely recommend 5 stars

Today i walked into town to go to reeve’s for lunch, upon my arrival the staff seemed hostile. My initial thoughts where it was a Monday, I understand. Once i had purchased my food and hot chocolate i went up stairs to sit inside, out of the cold, and upon being seated i was then rudely greeted by an employee who said we couldn’t sit down upstairs unless we paid extra. In our current weather, i was outraged by this as we weren’t told this at the till. The attitude of this employee was disgusting and completely backhanded. We ended being escorted out like some sort of criminals. Unfortunately i didn’t catch his name as he refused to tell me but he remained me of a james cordon with brown hair and a moustache that didn’t particularly suit him. And the attitude of a south American dictator.I will not be returning again.

Wow!!!! I can honestly taste the care taken in every roll. Outstanding service, thank you so so much!

We had toasted sandwiches in here, they were ok but not the best. Also had a cake which was nice but very expensive.

With a good choice on offer you cannot beat grabbing a pie & finding somewhere to sit for a while.The Wiltshire pasty was very tasty.Also the Chicken & Leek was flavoursome.Both had just the right amount of filling.

Called in to buy a couple of sandwiches for our journey home. They hadn't got the sandwiches we wanted so they made them for us there and then. Beautiful fresh bread and really tasty fillings. The cakes looked to die for but we decided not...

Popped in here with friends for a light breakfast and it was great. We all went for the Breakfast/ Bacon rolls which were really good and the coffee was good too. Ordered downstairs and sat upstairs where the food was delivered to us. Although sitting...

We had a lovely cream donut and Belgium bun and you couldn't fault them. Despite it being quite busy service was quick and friendly. Exactly what you want from a cake shop.

Visiting Salisbury for a few days I stumbled across this bakery. The Wiltshire ham salad sandwiches were a must but the knock out snack were the Wiltshire Pasty. The tastiest I have ever had! Well done.

Very nice place to have some snacks. Chicken, ham and leek pie is just to die for. Very nice sausage rolls, great coffee and cakes. We were allowed to sit upstairs and had a relaxing time with our pies. Friendly, helpful staff. Definitely recommended.

How often does one write a review of a bakery? Never! But we stayed in Winchester for the bank holiday weekend, and popped in there a couple of times to buy a takeaway snack. Reeves deserve a review. The cheese straws were wonderful (went back...

This bakery is amazing and, judging by the continuous queue, most people agree. The sausage rolls were warm and the pastry was perfectly flaky. Great for lunch on the go.

This bakery always has a long line outside for lunch - lots of sandwiches, cornish pastys, and sweets to choose from. I'm not understanding the peoples comments on bad service - I had a lovely charming man serve me with a smile. Fresh olive sourdough...

I'm not a great one for rambling around towns and cities but Winchester is a completely different story. From climbing St Catherine's Hill to take in it's magnificent vista to ambling through the College playing fields alongside the beautiful chalk River Itchen into the centre...

Visited here on Christmas Eve. What a lovely place! Bakery choices diverse and those experienced very nice indeed. Very good value, thoroughly enjoyed - definitely recommend.

Really nice bakery with plenty of choice. The hazelnut chocolate brownie is delicious! It’s a shame that it is a train ride away but will definitely pop in again for another visit when I return.

Popped in to get ONE cake, ended up with 4 cakes and 3 of the lush cheese straws!! The Hazelnut Brownies were delicious and melt in your mouth. The cheese straws are warm and very tasty.

Fabulous time escaping the pouring rain in this lovely bakery. We enjoyed a delicious flapjack in the upstairs seating area. Everything was very well organised and the Covid measures in place were really reassuring. The seating area and the toilets were very clean. Jon, the...

lots of choice here for breads, rolls, cakes plus hot and cold pastries. The warm cheese straws are the best! Head up the stairs to the side of the small shop for the cafe which you would miss- if you didn't know it was there.

Well do not pass this shop. The window full of tasty cakes diverts you into the shop. Great selection of fresh cakes and pastries makes it a must visit. Nice cup of coffee and a cake what more can you ask for. Go there and enjoy a treat.

Whenever we are in Winchester we always stop in and get a cake, although since we last went in there it looks as though the selection has reduced. I worked previously in Winchester and would frequently eat the cheese straws which are great for quick snack.

Visited Winchester for a day trip after Xmas and couldn't resist stopping by for some bakes. All the stuff on display looked really good. It was fairly early & the shop was pretty empty but staff kept rushing us asking what we wanted - as we couldn't see part of the counter due to another customer who was blocking it we were slow in choosing & staff were impatient. A put off. Bakes were delish though. Had a pasty, chicken & mushroom pie & another sausage & chorizo bake. All delish though quite pricey. There didn't seem to be any other independent bakers about so there isn't much of a choice if you fancy a bakery. Staff could do with some training to be more welcoming.

Very popular quick bite, used to be very good value but getting less so. Be prepared to queue, but it is under cover

Had an excellent tea and cake in restaurant but on way out bought 2 mince pies for which take out was charged £3.50. £1.75 for a single pie 15% larger that a waitrose 6 pack. What a rip off

This is a usual for us on a trip to Winchester- the staff upstairs in Reeve are very friendly and attentive. The afternoon tea is exceptional value for money. Keep up the good work guys!

Fab, friendly, fast service on a very busy Sunday, whilst visiting the Christmas Market. We had sausage rolls which were so tasty and piping hot, not like other establishments where they are often luke warm! cheese straws and doughnuts, also tried the chorizo sausage roll which was amazing. Could of ordered one of everything it looked so nice! Definitely recommend.

The bread sold here is nicely crafted and nice enough if you are eating it on the spot but really does not keep well - within hours it begins to taste quite rubbery...

The cafe is above the bakery, up quite a narrow and high flight of steps. Quite a small seating area with perhaps 6 tables and a couple of sofas. There is one loo under the stairs and people queue off the stairs, so if you don't like stairs or have mobility difficulties I wouldn't suggest this cafe.I had a flat white and Cheese and tomato toastie at just over £8. It was very tasty and came with a medium sized ramekin dish of fresh salad and a handful of crisps. It was well presented, nice sour dough bread and tasty cheese. Service was quick. I always seek out Reeves the Baker as they are a small local chain of artisan bakers and it is great to support local business, otherwise there are a number of chain stores you can find everywhere else.

I visit Reeves in Winchester a couple of times a week for my large multi seed loaf. Unfortunately once you have tried this bread everything else is inferior. It lasts a week, is soft and moist and delicious. It is pricey at £3.40 a large loaf but totally worth it. The staff are friendly and helpful. I don’t often buy other bakery goods but when I do they don’t disappoint.

Always friendly service, Viola is always a delight to see and the food is super yummy! I can highly recommend the baguettes and chelsea buns.

The cafe is upstairs from the bakery. Service was friendly and efficient. The food was ok. Not very interesting and not very tasty

The menu don't look much but the food was great, and not expensive for Winchester. Staff very attentive.

Food looked delicious through the window but didn’t live up to expectations. We had a pasty and sausage roll takeaway, but as someone else has commented the sausage was pretty tasteless. The pastry on the outside of the pasty was very good but inside all a little soft and stodgy. Not cheap either so overall average at best.

I went into this bakery and bought a hot sausage roll to take away to eat. I couldn't see or taste any meat, just white and warm stodgy fat.

My fiancé and I popped in on Saturday 14th September 2019 for a quick lunch as Greggs was closed. He ordered a pasty and I ordered a pizza slice, and we ordered a large ring, sugar donut between us. We went to sit in but were rudely told by a waiter we couldn't as we'd not paid "sit in" prices, as per their policy. I asked him why this is not better made known at the outset of ordering; to which he replied that there is a sign. I asked where, as neither myself nor my fiancé had seen any sign stating as such but all the waiter said was "outside". So we left (disappointed) to find somewhere to eat.

A small but quaint bakery, where you can obtain a snack at reasonable prices. Very friendly staff, downside there are stairs to climb.

I have never stayed in but always go to get my multi-grain seeded sourdough. Once you have try it, no other sourdough wil compare.

Whether I have eaten in the cafe or taken something out to eat overlooking the Cathedral I have always been more than happy. The food is freshly prepared or comes from the shop it is delicious, a reasonable price and much more preferable than the usual coffee shop chains. Personal service with a smile and it's good to find a local bakery and cafe. It is a bit of a hidden gem as the entrance to the cafe is not obvious!

Had a coffee in this sweet little cafe above the bakery. Was very tempted by all the delicious looking good but decided to be good. Pleasant staff, lovely coffee with a very good complimentary shortbread biscuit.

We had lunch in the cafe above the bakers. There was a varied selection on the menu and the prices were very reasonable. Afternoon tea at £10.50 for two looked really good. Obviously all the cakes come from what I believe is the best bakers in Winchester. We will be returning.

We popped in to get our elevenses. The selection of savory and sweet pastries is vast. The service was fast and helpful. The selection of bottled drinks in the cooler was also nice. We selected a chocolate chunk twist, and it was plenty to share between two. The products on display show 2 prices; one for take away and a slightly higher price for eat in if you want to take it to the cafe upstairs. We took ours outside and sat on a sunny bench on the high street. The pastry was superb. Highly recommend.

We bought two bakery items from downstairs and wanted to enjoy them in the cafe with a coffee. We opened our bag and before we could break a piece of gingerbread, the woman working in the coffee bar section launched herself at our table to tell us in a very loud voice, attracting attention of everyone in the cafe "you can't eat things from downstairs upstairs". Very confused, as there was no signage and IT'S THE SAME SHOP we left, after a few minutes to go somewhere else. No idea what this policy is and why? It's not because the cafe is nicer than the bakery, it was unclean and messy. If the girl spent more time cleaning up and less time telling her customers off, we could possibly understand why this 'policy' exists. Poor customer service, nice gingerbread. She ruined the flavour of our biscuits.

Raspberry and Almond Tart is soooooo amazing in here. Really naughty but so worth it! They sample sometimes at front of store and the flavoured breads are really flavoursome. Sandwiches delicious.

Overall great baking, the bread and pastries are great.

Visited for coffee, tea and scones. Service was good, the food and drink did the job. It wasn't anything particularly special to remember but for a decently priced coffee shop and bakery, it did the trick.

Grabbed breakfast and coffee here as I was heading out of town. Pleasantly surprised by the selection of homebaked goods. The coffee was average, but loved the place.

This little bakery is part of a family chain and we are lucky enough to have one here in Winchester! As you peer through the bakery window, at the delicious cakes, pastries and beautiful hand made sandwiches, you are spoilt for choice on what to pick - lovely to pick up some lunch and go to the cathedral to eat lunch on a nice day but equally as nice to enjoy in the little tea room cafe upstairs! Nice cup of tea or coffee to wet your whistle accompanied by a tasty scone or cake or choose from toasties, sandwiches or soup or for the super price of £9.99 enjoy a lovely afternoon tea, comprising of sandwiches, little quiches, salad, crisps, scones, cakes and choice of hot drink - very nice for elevenses, lunch or a quick cuppa whilst shopping - busy little cafe in the heart of the city, with pleasant staff, what more could you ask for....

A very nice place with seating upstairs and in a clean environment, plenty of food and snacks to choose from and at a good price.

Lovely service and wide range of options but cake and brownie were quite stale but probably due to it being near the end of the day.

朝ごはんを食べすぎてお腹いっぱいでしたので、パンをTake awayしてAbbey gardenで食べようと計画しました。お店で　Roast beef のフォカッチャとmature chedder のフォカッチャをoderし、いただきました。お野菜もたっぷりで大満足でした。

Always in reeves especially the Romsey branch but after skating today we all bundled into the upstairs cafe in Winchester. We were served by the dullest most disinterested slowest person you could ever wish not to have serve you. It wasn’t just delayed calling for food on the walkie talkie it was his general lethargy and lack of personality. Despite a big number of us he could not engage the business in hand and up himself a gear. By the time the last in our 3 family party was served the first family had eaten and were hats on ready to leave. Watching other customers toss their eyes at him was hilarious. Reeves need to review this guy and at very least give him some training. Food. As ever - Lovely.

Reeve the Baker has for a long time been my bakery of choice for delicious cakes, traybakes and freshly made goodies. They always have a great selection of yummy products but it often does get very busy, particularly at lunchtime so ordering can be a little chaotic. Favourites amongst my family and friends are the lemon tarts, flapjacks and the novelty iced biscuits although we've tried most things and like them all! Prices are a little on the expensive side, so we try not to visit too often. A lovely bakery with great products.

This bakery is set in a good location and is always nice and warm as you step in. They always have a good selection of breads, pastries and sandwiches. Said pastries are quite expensive, one bread stick was at least £1.20, which felt quite steep - but it was delicious. Their sandwiches seem very popular and worth giving a go, even if they are quite a lot pricier than supermarket sandwiches, but they are made in house and look brilliant in the display. The bakery gets quite busy at peak times, but the staff are friendly and helpful.

You are drawn into this Bakery by the fine display in the window and the smell coming from within the shop. Freshly baked bread, cakes and pastries, the choice is overwhelming - but you cant walk out empty handed.

I have passed Reeve The Baker many times relying on high street supermarkets or bread and my lunches. I thought I would give them a try instead. What a revelation. Lunchtime sandwiches were excellent. Not necessarily cheap but tasty and "homemade" with plenty of quality ingredients. Bread that I purchased was superb and far, far better that the standard high street offer. I am a convert.
