The Artisan Baker - Stroud in Stroud

Since we moved to the Southwest, we really missed this unique bakery. Now every time we go to Stroud to visit our family, it is really a MUST to stop by and get some yummy vegan pastries! We usually get a mix of all the Vegan options as all of them taste so good and are all fresh. I highly recommend it to all locals and visitors.

Excellent range of quality breads and truly delicious vegan pastries. I travel out of my way to get these whenever I can! I wish some cafes in Wiltshire could stock them....

I was walking past wanting a tasty treat. I saw this bakery and thought I might give it a go. I only saw the mixed reviews afterwards. Unfortunately the other reviewers are correct. It's not very good almost bland in taste and very expensive. Disappointed I won't be coming back and I wouldn't recommend.

Best pastries! Almond croissants out of this world

Not the best vegan almond croissant I've ever had! Not much like a croissant, it's a pastry (?) sandwich with a very thin layer of almondy paste smeared in the middle. Pretty disappointing especially given the price.

Lovely staff, quality cakes and bread.

Needed a loaf of bread for pack lunches in the morning, was passing and saw they had freshly baked loaves. They wouldn't sell me a loaf, as they were 'for tomorrow '. 1 Why would any baker not sell a loaf, freshly baked and turn away customer with money? 2 why are the loaves baked the day before? Surely you want to make money and sell as fresh as possible. Used to be so much better 😕

Great bakery hidden in the market section of five valleys shopping centre

Bought two custard and blueberry pastries- they were delicious. Best pastry I've ever bought!!

The choice of pastries is mind blowing! They all look amazing! I chose one with pear which was delicious. And the coffee… that tasted great too and I’m picky about my coffee! Nice friendly staff too. Well done 👏🏼

Everything so delicious. Words can’t describe!!! Most wonderful staff! Can’t wait to go again.

Great place. I love the poached pear danish and the pistachio croissant especially

The best vegan croissants I've ever had! So glad to have come across this place when visiting Stroud. We tried the plain, pistachio and almond ones and they were all fantastic. Just wish we'd tried the other vegan pastries as well. I appreciated the generous size of all the pastries too.

Used to be a great place foe pastries but just lately pastries have black burnt bottoms. At the price's, it's not satisfactory.

So good! Best almond croissants ever!!

Very disappointing over priced sourdough loaf. It was stale & had certainly not been baked today. It didn’t even taste like genuine sourdough but was more like what you would expect from a supermarket.

You need to go back to the old Almond croissant recipe!! I came here especially for it as it used to be utter heaven, super crunchy beautiful flavour and huge. What I just ate was NOT an almond croissant, it was bread. Soft. disappointed :(

Hands down the best pastry I’ve ever consumed. Made me a very happy human. Can’t believe it’s vegan too, literally tastes like rich butter & sweet pear!

I've tried, wanting this bakery to be wonderful, but I have had burnt, overbaked sourdough, olive bread, overnight whites and cardamom buns on several occasions. I'm sure the produce would be fab with a little less time in the oven.

Such an amazing place! All the staff are lovely, the best food I have ever tasted always bring my family here for sweet treats and coffee:) xx

Very nice coffee and vegan pastries

This is primarily a bakery selling cakes and fresh loaves. There is not a single bad item on the menu and Ori, the owner oversees all the food. There are a couple of seats for sitting in but this is produce to take and enjoy at home.

All their bread is amazing especially the focaccia and nelson loaf. Strongly recommend to anyone who’s looking for decent organic bread!

Beautiful pastries 😍 I’d tell you my favourite but I fear it would be sold out all the time if I share 😂 our favourite sourdough and a flavourful focaccia that’s our favourite. Some of the staff could be a little more upbeat, but there’s lots of friendly staff too! 😊

Nice home cooked bread etc.Baked on premises.

Fantastic freshly made goods baked to perfection. Great friendly staff and lunch box prices. So no arms or legs will be stretched.

This is the worst bread I have ever bought. It was dry dense an vile. We tried it but have never tasted any thing like it. It is over priced. I can make better at home. Very disappointed.

I buy a gorgeous olive sourdough loaf from here on a Monday and it’s absolutely delicious. They start the dough on a Saturday so it’s lovely and fermented and easy to digest. It’s the only bread I eat all week and it’s such a treat.

We bought a seeded sourdough loaf and a ciabatta loaf on Saturday absolutely the best bread in Stroud. Fabulous flavour and texture

Lovely selection of breads. Always like to pick up a loaf when I'm Stroud!

Bought a (very expensive) organic white loaf from their stall at Stroud market yesterday that was dense and dry with a crust that was like chewing on a shoe. Absolutely awful bread, and madly overpriced at £3.50.

Purchased a loaf of ciabata on sat.it was inedible very dry,very difficult to cut it was so hard.Somebody needs to taste what you make (quality control) I paid £2.50 for a loaf that was NOT of any sort of quality VERY POOR! I would advise NOT TO BUY 😡😡

had a magic bag today,and had 4 hot cross buns in it,i have to say they were the best hot cross buns ive ever had.yummy.

I am a ham roll person....until today - bought a wholemeal loaf. What a revelation, what I call 'real' bread! Makes (or made, since I have eaten it all) great ham sandwiches. Back soon to sample their sourdough, can't wait, recommend.
