Rex Bakery in Chiltern

I have been going to Rex since it opened many years ago . When I moved forty miles away from the area I decided to put in an order for bread and cakes every six weeks when I go to my hairdressers ( still in that area) . We don’t eat any other bread ( me sourdough and my husband the lovely Filone that they slice and put in two bags per loaf for me.) I can’t resist ordering some of the divine cakes too , and am eating one of their hot Cross buns as I write this ! Yes it is expensive but worth every penny for,the quality .

I live just around the corner from Rex and can just pop out of the front door to buy a loaf or something else on a whim.... I've basically given up on supermarket bread now and have their Cracked Rye, or very occasionally the Rye Sourdough or Spelt loaves. It really is excellent stuff and as we'll be moving away soon I though I would put on here how much I have appreciated the quality over the last few years. I will certainly miss having a baker of this quality on the doorstep! Yes it is expensive, but even if you do it just once as a treat you won't regret it.

Stopped in to get some takeaway lunch - two croque monsieurs - were great - service friendly - coffee and cookies great as well.

They make the best bakery (pastry, bread, etc.). The Sourdough bread and the Focaccia is to die for. Extremely friendly staff. If you travel to Little Chalfont, you don’t want to miss this little family owned business

A flawless selection of deliciously baked breads and danishes. Well presented and always fills a hole. I would happily drive in excess of 40 minutes to get bread here before. However, to my joy, they have opened an additional store in peascod street in Windsor ! Love the sausage rolls and the amazing danishes with bacon and egg! Couldn't recommend either place highly enough.

The most beautiful baked goods! Would definitely recommend thier sourdough bread, pain quality chocolat and almond croissants... in fact anything! The service is super friendly too

Lovely breads and cakes and the coffee is vital to me! Best thing about Rex is the staff. Friendly and funny. Great chat out of them. They are a credit to the business. Don't get that in a chain business.

Earlier this week we bought a loaf of bread and pain-au-raison and paid over £!0 for it! I initially thought we had been charged twice - but when checking with the shop today, they told me that the loaf we had bought (100% wholemeal sourdough tin) was priced at over £7. This by far the most expensive bread I can find advertised anywhere. Other artisan organic bakers I can find charge £3-4 for an 800g loaf. Its lovely bread - but I won't be buying any more.

When shopping in Windsor with my wife most Saturdays we always stop off for a refreshment break. We were lucky to have tried Rex bakers & coffee shop which opened recently. Their bread, cakes & many other food choices are delicious. What a great find this independent business is for us

We had amazing toasted sandwiches from here yesterday. I was really impressed by the enormous size of them. I will go out of my way in future to visit this bakery. Well done you guys. Top knotch.

I go here two to three times a week for a Coffee,cakes and croissants. Fabulous quality throughout. More expensive than other outlets but well worth the extra expense. Staff superb, very friendly, clearly proud of what they they produce and the service they provide. Forget the big franchises and chain outlets. Stay local.

Top notch and I am a fussy devil that knows his stuff! The world needs more independent businesses like this with owners passionate about quality. Sourdough and sausage rolls my favourite but everything is excellent.

Absolutely the best bakery! Always come here for monmouth coffee and love the bread/cakes selection. Far better than any chain, and not expensive considering the quality that you are getting. Also great staff, always happy to help you out with any queries or have a chat:)

This place sells wonderful freshly baked bread (the smell at night of the baking is fabulous) and pastries. Also toasted sandwiches and coffees for a quick bite. Friendly service. A word of warning - it is not good for the waistline; each time I buy a loaf I eat just one more slice until it's all gone.

A group of us stopped here when in Little Chalfont and had the chai tea, a cappucccino and a couple of the cakes on offer. The hot drinks were very nice but the cakes were disappointing as they were a bit too dry and not overly flavourful. Whilst the hot drinks were nice, there was not enough variety offered in this bakery to entice me to come back - a wider range of cold drinks and improved cake/sandwich choices would make the cafe more appealing. I can't comment on the bread because I didn't try it but can see from previous manager comments that this is obviously what they pridethemselves on and is possibly why other aspects are not as good as they could be.

Very good bread and pastries and pleasant staff make this a good local shop. But you pay quite a high price for the individuality although I can't fault any product and the staff serving are efficient and polite too.

Having worked in the area when Rex opened it was good. I have since moved on and visited back today based on previous experience. What a poor decision. The lady behind the counter didn’t know anything. To the point I asked re the millionaire shortbread as looked different through the glass. I even asked if it contained nuts or something as looked like it did. She assured me it was the same as any just “put together” their way. To my surprise when I gave to my kids later it contained hazelnuts! Lucky no one had an allergy! My own food, the toasted sandwich was average at best. The cappuccino was like warm, bitter and the frothy milk was vile. So I finished my lunch with a stop past a coffee shop! Not what I expected and nor will I go back.

Very good organic bakery and coffee shop. Interesting range of breads, biscuits and cakes. Good service and simple, pleasant atmosphere.

good and excellent bread and cakes and rolls staff helpful and friendly all the bread freshly baked and a good price

Came in and ordered bread and a few cakes ,the guy who runs the place is Rude and abrupt .On making a sandwich I could feel the bread wasn’t rite and eating it tasted stale .I took it back immediately and was given a story which wasn’t helpful.Will never return

Lovely bakery with very friendly staff . The sourdough bread is the best in the area They also make delicious pastries all cooked in the premises. They also have a coffe shop part where you can taste their home baked cakes with a hot drink

This is the real deal. The best bread shop I have ever experienced in the UK. The quality and range is excellent. Also serves the best coffee in Bucks.

Having moved to the area only recently, but regularly buy bread from here. Took friends for a coffee, had a great time, very friendly staff, and wonderful cakes!

If you have never paid a visit to the Rex Bakery in Little Chalfont, you are missing out.

I haven't found a bread shop in the area or even in London that comes close to the quality and variety that Rex produces and sells. I try whenever possible to get in early on a Saturday morning for the fantastic pastries and my favourite bread 'Filone', an Italian masterpiece. It's not cheap but very much a quality product.

I only eat wholemeal bread and, elsewhere, have been consistently disappointed by the taste of the wholemeal drowning out the sourdough taste but not so here - the one from Rex is an amazing exception. I like their other wholemeal products too. The staff are friendly and it's a great place for a quick coffee and cake or a lunch stop.

I'm not sure why it is - but, in England, it is very rare to find a baker that can make good baguettes. Paul (a French chain) have reasonably good baguettes as do Saveurs (an independent bakery in Dartmouth owned by a French family).

I have been to this bakery and I was impressed by the great selection of different breads on sale. I was looking for rye bread containing no wheat or sugar.. The assistant went out of his way to show me a couple of loaves that would be suitable. He knew the ingredients of each loaf. He was very knowedgeable indeed and friendly.too. I would recommend this bakery to anyone wanting to buy good bread.

Back in after a period of absence. Forgot how a bakers can brighten your journey to work! Tasty bread, fabulous customer service and recommend the coffee. Who knew they also do the best jasmine tea.. R

Love this place, great for a Sandwich and soup. Also buy our bread and cakes there. It's lovely to have such a high class bakers near us

Me encantaba su 100% pan de centeno. Por desgracia empeoró. En pocas ocasiones ha sido un triste y tenían pan capa sólida en vez de estar. No ha sido horneados correctamente. No estoy comprando de nuevo. La información también ha cambiado, pizarra de la encantadora, descriptivo sobre diferentes tipos de panes y variedad de sándwiches, sopas y ensaladas en una frase: "Sopa de tomate con queso y galletas (además de tostie apple)". Es un cambio drástico de café artesano en un café de estilo cuchara grasienta.

Este es nuestro pan de la panadería local - más allá de la serie es vendido por 11 más días aunque no cantidades dobles en todo lo demás lo venden. Toda su gama es fantástica, pero nos hemos acomodado para este como nuestro favorito. Sándwiches y tartas almuerzo pero también indulgente el pan es el mejor de Inglaterra!

Me encanta este lugar con ingredientes frescos y hornear todos los días! Ponen auténtica pasión en lo que hacen.

El personal es encantador, artículos de panadería de calidad. . Podría fácilmente ser. feliz sentado en Marylebone, upper o pueblo de Brixton y la única diferencia es que las colas estarían fuera de la puerta. Tenía allí el famoso croissants recién hechos que son doble...

This is definitely the best bakery in the area . Amazing fresh bread , lovely cakes and great sandwiches !

Snacked here a couple of times and I've been very impressed by the staff, friendly, helpful, courteous. And the cakes are pretty good as well.

Best coffee ever and choice of breads is wonderful to have on your doorstep - sadly just moving, but please please open a Rex in Tring we need you - as lacking a great bakery!!Would definitely recommend

A place that takes bread seriously! Advice always available. I am steadily working my way through their full repertoire of loaves, albeit quite slowly because this is not a cheap option. However, genuine artisan bread as good as this is worth the money, especially when you can make your choice while enjoying a rather good cup of coffee.

We were a little early for our meeting at Chalfont & Latimer , so just walked a bit from the station. This small outlet caught our eye and we went in.. The ambience hit us straight away ...The whole place radiated a refreshing freshness both from the staff and the products .. Just waiting for the other customers to be served allowed us to check out the whole range of products . After placing our order ,we chatted with the staff who are very friendly and got to understand that this was a bakery set up by Chalfontians to cater to the requirements of Chalfontians and neighbours .. During our time in the cafe saw a steady stream of people coming in for purchases and takeaways and some like us for consuming the items on in the cafe .. A total value for money outlet ...

Excellent! Lovely place to drink a coffe and buy different and tasty breads, and also lovely service.

Really friendly people and great bread made on the premises. Only criticism - they have a gluten free cake but not gluten free bread.

The Rex Bakery team make some of the best bread I have had anywhere )) The Pan Gallego has to be my favouriteMix that with super coffee and a brilliant team working there it's no wonder that my family and I are regulars.

I just popped in for a coffee whilst waiting for a doctors appointment, the coffee was good and I liked the look of the bread so bought a couple of loaves. Best food buy I a made for quite a while. The service was also very good.

The bread here is so varied , tasty and fresh. My favourites are the sourdough and the raisen and rosemary. The cakes are delicious too and the staff really friendly . Just had a coffee and croissant , delicious

How lucky the citizens of Little Chalfont are!! I was passing at lunchtime recently and stopped to find a sandwich. Dropped in at the Rex just by chance and had a delicious sandwich - smoked bacon, avocado, mushroom, followed by an orange cake which was also excellent. And nice coffee too.... But it's not just the food that's good. It's also such a cheery & friendly place. Great atmosphere with a lovely welcome. Completely brill!!!

Insanely good bakery, a perfect real artisan. Friendly helpfully staff and perfect bread,sourdough,pastries and the best sausage rolls I've ever had. If you like real bread you will love this place.

I visit the Rex as often as I can, that's not often enough for me. It's been such a superb addition to the area, as you see so many locals like us flocking to the business, each and every time I visit. I wanted to say, keep up the good work and thank you for providing such a wonderful service providing real quality produce made onsite. If you have not visited you certainly should, without doubt the best bakery for miles around.

I really, really wanted this establishment to be great but, alas, it falls just short because the coffee is too hit and miss. It depends on who makes it for you... They serve Monmouth beans (a rarity around these parts) but only one in three cups I've had has actually been of Monmouth quality. A real shame. Plus, the flat white measures are far too large (latte-sized).

My family are regulars to the point we don't know how many loyalty cards we've collected since they opened. Food and drink aside the business is lucky enough to have some genuinely passionate people working for it who go out of their way to ensure that anyone coming in either for a sit down lunch or loaf to go leave the shop happy.It's a wonderful place full of fantastic breads and other tasty morsels. My regular being a sausage roll and double mac combo, my sons like the little choc buns and my wife is fond of an extra hot cap. and veg soup.You get what you pay for and whilst there may be cheaper options out there, you know at Rex that the ingredients and skill are top notch.Special mention must go to Nikki and the team who really go out of their way to make us fussy villagers happy with the best baked goods in town!Keep it up Team Rex

I buy my bread from there almost daily , they are fantastic , a bit pricey but the taste is second to none . There is particular young lady servicer who is great . But getting a coffee there is a lengthy process

We are so grateful for our local bakery - the price of housing should go up because of this amazing gem! Friendly service and the most amazing seeded loaf you could ever taste...mmm! Great place for a quick sandwich or coffee too.

I recently came across the Real Bread Campaign whilst researching the use of pesticides in supermarket bread and the Chorleywood process of making bread on an industrial scale. I was delighted to find that one of the bakeries listed on the website is local to me, the Rex Bakery in Little Chalfont and I have not bought a loaf of supermarket bread since. The breads sold by the Rex are absolutely delicious, especially the various sourdoughs and focaccias. The apple and cinnamon cake is good too. The service is always friendly and helpful and they will happily slice your loaves and put them in bags ready for the freezer, if you ask.

I always forget they don't do this staple loaf on a Sunday...a day I often visit! Great bread none the less.

Since Rex set up in town I have been there several times for various reasons. The bread alone is award winning and worth the trip to pick up a loaf - the Olive Ciabatta and the Rosemary/raisin loaf are our family favourites. We've stopped in for coffee and cake as well. The coffee was excellent and the cake (I had the bread puddingy one) was delicious and a very generous portion - would have been a perfect mid-ride snack for any fellow "roadies" out there. The lady serving was also extremely kind and gave a small sample of a couple of things to the kids so they could make up their minds. I think in the end we went for everything!!Do stop there if you can - can't recommend it enough. And I suspect the one adverse review so far is by someone reviewing "strategically" shall we say...

The spelt loaves and the sourdough are lovely, and the raisin and rosemary is a real treat toasted! So many good things to choose from and excellent coffee too

Rex is the best bakery in town. Not just our town - any town. Great bread, cakes, coffee, you name it. All good ingredients and terrific friendly staff - it's a great place to buy, or meet up for a coffee. You'll wish you had a Rex in your town.

Lots of variety and great quality....the bread is good but the sausage rolls are the best I have ever tasted.

A fabulous artisan baker, making real bread the way it should be made. Can't recommend REX enough. Whatever you have you will not be disappointed, the hardest thing is choosing what to have.

Great bread, cakes, assorted quality food. No additives or chemicals you find in other products. Friendly service. Brilliant all round.

The arrival of The Rex in our village has brought mixed blessings. The good is that I never buy bread anywhere else now - this is fresh, organic, artisan bread without all of the additives and preservatives so prevalent in supermarket style bread. Our favourite is the Gallego, a heavy Spanish sourdough-like joy, but also fantastic is their baguette, sourdough, brioche, rye, multiseed.... the list goes on and on. And then there are the cakes - our particular favourite being the juicy gluten free orange cake. The double baked hazelnut croissant, the pain au chocolat and the pain au raisin are more favourites. So I think the bad is clear - The Rex is not good for your waistline. Still, a small (though growing wider by the month) concession to bakery perfection. Long live The Rex!

The best coffee outside London and the standard would knock many London specialists off their pedestals......... oh and the bread and rolls and cakes and buns - out of this world and all served with a smile and a cheery greeting. The sandwiches are brill

We love Rex's breads and bread products. They also now have gluten free cakes, moist and fresh. I also like to pop in for lunch for soup or panini's. Would def recommend.

It is the best bread I have found in UK; specially that lovely dark and moist 100% rye. I can also recommend all sourdough breads and pumpkin and poppy seed rye. The service is also very friendly and efficient.

First class food and service. I would recommend them without hesitation. Their fruit scones are particularly delicious.

The quality of this bread is heads above anything available anywhere outside London. The Rex Sourdough is fantastic and worth a special trip.

I discovered Rex only about 6 months ago, and have become addicted to their raisin and rosemary loaf, which I buy each week on the way back from the gym, along with croissants, pain aux raisins and my son loves the twice cooked pain au chocolat. The rosemary focaccia is also excellent.Service is really friendly and helpful, always with a smile. The raisin and rosemary loaf has now replaced the usual chocolates when I go out to dinner and everyone loves it. I recommend it toasted, with a little butter and Marmite. Heaven on a plate.

It is rare to find a place that practices what it preaches so well, great bread make with fantastic ingredients by a baker that loves what he does, set in the heart of the community working for the community. This is what set Rex's above all other bakeries I have come across

Love this place - knowledgeable friendly staff who really know their products.I'm addicted to their egg mayo sandwiches too...would definitely recommend!

I pop in for a cappuccino once a week and Saturday mornings for croissants and cake. Coffee is great, the croissants and cake are superb and of a quality not found elsewhere locally. Staff on the ball and very pleasant. Costs more than the mass produced chain produced rubbish but well worth it.

When this place first opened, I bought a baguette. I always feel that if you can get the simple things right then the that is a good basis to judge a place.The baguette I bought was tough and fairly tasteless.Since they had only just opened that week, I thought I'd give them another chance because I always want to support local independent shops and restaurants. When I mentioned (in a nice way) to the lady at the till that the baguette that I'd bought the previous week had been tough and i hoped this one was better, the owner came out from the back and, in a very aggressive manner, asked what I had said. I found this very uncomfortable. There was no apology and no attempt to make me feel welcome as a customer, even though I was clearly buying another loaf and giving them another shot.If I could have given the service Zero stars, I would have.Irrespective of whether the second loaf of bread was any good, I will never be going back and I advise you to avoid at all costs.

This is a brilliant bakery and a very welcome addition to the village. The bread is fresh and high quality and the staff are all welcoming and friendly. It deserves to do really well

Home made, simple but really great food! Staff friendly, and all organic and simply made. Well worth a visit. Recommend the made soup with the bread and the butter. Coffees also great as well :)

I love this bakery!It is much more than a bakery, they are involved in local causes, employ local people, are organic, get the community involved and just happen to make beautiful, classic pastries, bread and other bits.They have gone from strength to strength as a hard working family and bakery shop owners.Please keep supporting them I thoroughly recommend the pain au raisin and well everything they make is fabulous!!

As a Builder most people tend to think that we will eat any old rubbishnot so!working in the town of little chalfont I spied Rex bakeryso I tried a black olive ciabattabest ever and that includes ones eaten in italythen i tried their home made desertsorgasmic is a word well overused but these are truly of that naturethe home made rolls and sandwiches,fantastic!yes , it is expensive but ask yourself the question why?because of the high quality ingredients and attention to detailif they gave michelin stars to bakers rex would get 3the pulled pork is the best this side of TennesseeIn bocca al lupo,rex!

Great coffee and bread to die for - all baked on the premises. Stopped for quick bite and coffee and not disappointed. Beautiful sour dough rolls and great range of fillings along with soup of the day. Y U M. All washed down with good coffee. Very friendly staff in what is essentially an artisan bakery with a very clean rustic open plan shop/seating area. Lovely find. Can't wait to try the loaf and bread pud that I bought to take home.

We were staying in Latimer and drove into Little Chalfont to go to the Tesco express.Next to the Tesco is an artisan bakery,and everything looked yummy.We set out eyes on the hot stuffed baguettes,I had ham and pineapple and my husband had the spicy beef.Have to say one of the best baguettes I've ever had! It was delicious! Not the healthiest of options but what a treat.
