The Cake Shop Bakery in Suffolk Coastal

We visited the bakery today. The lady who served me was friendly. The Belgian bun was very scrumptious and very reasonably priced. The bakery had a lovely feel about it. The bakery was not busy at the time of visiting and all reasonable coronavirus measures were in place.

Stood in the queue at the till, totally ignored by the mature lady serving. Not the first time this has happened. Service with a smile would be nice. Head for Christine's cafe instead, good food, great service and even better, friendly and approachable staff!

We get our weekly bread from here and it’s always beautiful. Tasty and fresh and in particular the Adnams sourdough and their gingerbread men are our sons favourite and have been for years. Their cake portions are vast so hubby and I normally share! Sandwiches at lunchtime are another treat and then we take them to the local park when the suns out. A great bakery with a wide range of choice.

The decor of this cafe is not really to my taste. The service was a bit haphazard and not very efficient but the coffee was the star. Far better cup of coffee than you would get from one of the big chains. The music was good. But the place does need sprucing up in my opinion.

We visited the bakery to purchase some lunch whilst on holiday in the area. The bread and cake were delicious. Would highly recommend it!

Enjoyed some lovely bread from the cake shop bakery during a recent stay in Woodbridge. The bakery is very popular and always appears to be busy.

I will always pop in and pick up a loaf when in town as they have a great choice and lovely pastries. Their scones are good too!

Went to buy some low GI bread. It is morish . I will be going back for more. Lots of great items, but as a diabetic I can’t have most of them now.

Family run business which sticks to traditional methods of baking. Interesting selection of various products such as vegetarian sausage rolls, carrot cake etc.

Fabulous bakery with Firestation Café, Bar & Coffee Roasters next door, really enjoyed stopping in for some delicious bread and a take away sweet snack. I understand this bakery has been serving Woodbridge over several generations and it bakes everyday using traditional methods.

I always pop in to buy pizza baps. Today I was lucky to get 3!!. Wasn't told of there would be more out soon. Just got told only 3. Before they won all the awards, they were the best Baker. Now you are lucky if they have enough made. I popped in at 12 noon, so not late in the afternoon. And they were not busy. Its very disappointing everytime I go in the, as I don't live in Woodbridge, I only come to Woodbridge maybe once a month. And go to the bakery then, but I am feeling not to bother anymore as the staff are unhelpful and get the pizza baps from another bakery up the road which are more helpful and staff are polite.

Really helpful advice & service when ordering a special cake from over 300 miles away! Lindsay was brilliant- the cake had one of those edible photographic toppings I'd ordered separately and it all worked well and the taste and texture of the chocolate sponge was perfect. Proud to have received a quality product from The Cake Shop where I worked as a "Saturday Girl" so many years ago. Thanks for all your help. DEE

The product sold is let down by poor customer service, courtesy and the layout of the shop. My inability to see the range of product was further xxx by the rude attitude of the staff in the shop, who it appeared could not cope with some one wanting to browse their products. What a shame, this was not a one of but has happened on more than one occasion.

Fantastic local family business, producing consistently high-quality cakes and bread of a very large variety. Been in Woodbridge for years.

In the centre of old Woodbridge this Bakery and shop has a well earned reputation and a wide range of freshly baked cakes and breads including many speciality bakes. Has Coffee shop adjoining with its own roasting. Well worth a visit.

Tasteless scones and average bread at high prices.You can get better in the supermarket at half the price.

Woodbridge ofrece muchas excelentes cosas, a la panadería es uno de ellos. El pan y pasteles producidos aquí son, en efecto, de primera clase y para ser recomendado. La variedad y estilo de pan producido aquí es muy amplia y auténtica de lo local a lo continental, todos son muy buenos.

I would suggest making this your first port of call in Woodbridge,as I am told that the stock can get a bit low very quickly we were lucky and they had a super selection

Buenos sandwiches, pasteles y bollos de salchicha, pan.

Hemos visto esto en televisión y quise probarlo. Nos dieron una cálida bienvenida y la calidad de los productos en exhibición es inigualable. Es maravilloso ver cómo el éxito de esta panadería. Lo mejor para el futuro. Nos visita de nuevo cuando esté en el condado de Suffolk encantador.

Buena variedad de sándwiches, incluyendo una para niños. para mi decepción el primer bocadillo que he recogido estaba fuera de fecha...

Visitamos esta panadería con grandes esperanzas que decayeron pronto con la falta de comida en los estantes. Me pareció que había ganado premios para tartas pero no uno a la vista. Pasteles eran empobrecido y me fui sin comprar nada. Así decepcionado

Excellent variety of produce.staff extremely helpful.Only drawback is the lay out of the shop.Tends to become very congested and difficult to manoeuvre with baskets or shopping bags.

I have used the cake shop for many years but sine the refurb the prices have gone up so I dont go there anymore. The bread and cakes are still very nice

We are really spoilt in Woodbridge with this fabulous bakery, fresh breads of all descriptions, gorgeous cakes and biscuit and sausage rolls which my husband cant get enough of. If you are in Woodbridge go, but early all the good stuff goes by lunch time.

Get there early to get your favourite bread and avoid the queues. A very popular award winning bakery.

Perhaps we were expecting too much but customers expecting the cakes of Britains best bakery will be disappointed. What you will find is a very good cake and sandwich shop with a good range of goods that won't break the budget.

Love visiting here! Such an amazing range of cakes, breads, etc on sale. All reasonably priced. Staff are also really friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!!

On a recent visit to Woodbridge I called here to buy bread and a selection of cakes to prepare an afternoon tea for the family. Everything purchased was delicious, would recommend and return.

The Cake Shop has been a family business in the town for a long time and many of us have been customers for decades - but since their appearance on 'Britain's Best Bakery' the shop has become more of a destination for visitors and tourists and as such, the prices have risen noticeably. I bought Belgian buns and their sourdough ciabatta recently: the buns were delicious, with soft pillowy dough and were very generously sized, but they're not cheap. The sourdough ciabatta was rather a letdown: in no way was it sourdough-like. It was just a soft ciabatta, but perfectly nice.It is a pity that the bakery appears now to be targeting the weekenders and tourists and not providing the good solid 'everyday' items at fair prices that town residents used to buy here.

We purchased mill flour bread. They seem to make it on Fridays. Get there earlier because we purchased the last loaf about mid-morning. Delicious. Also, loved the reusable bags.

After seeing this bakery on television I have ventured over 3 times but they never have anything in there! I have tried midweek early on in the day thinking that maybe I just missed out but still the choice is poor. What I have managed to try was not worthy of being 'britains best'. Disappointing.

Great artisan bakery really different loaves to try. Well worth a visittry firestation next door for lunch or a drink in the evening really feels like trendy london

The Cake Shop still make the best sausage rolls I have ever eaten. The pastry is wonderful and full of sausage meat. Whenever I visit UK their sausage rolls are one of the first things on my list of 'must haves'. I was very lucky that my sister had bought three for our arrival.

Simply the best bread and cakes from this family run cake shop. Lovely tasty sandwiches to take away. The bread is expensive but well worth the price for unadulterated deliciousness & such a huge variety too.

Excellent variety of interesting breads and cakes all baked on the premises. Invariably a queue of regular customers

You will spot this shop very easily , its the one with a long queue , particularly at lunch time and when you have sampled the food , you will know why ! Used by most of the locals as the best place to buy bread .There is no where else to buy better bread and cakes . The choice is amazing and plenty of choice for lunch shopping too . Fantastic range of every bread you can think of . Reasonable prices for top quality food .I can highly recommend the macaroons... I simply cannot walk past without buying 1 or sometimes 2 !

Lovely bakers with a great range of breads & cakes plus other goodies! It remind us of the great patisseries we enjoy in France - splendid selection & friendly staff.

This surely is one of the best bakeries in Britain; the queue that regularly forms outside it is sufficient evidence of this, but the sheer enterprise of their semi-sourdough ciabatta and Anglo-Saxon breads and their consistent quality is remarkable.Recommended:BagelsEnglish MuffinsSourdough breadsSaxon breads

A wonderful selection of bread of all sorts and delicious cakes - particularly macaroons. The adjacent cafe is a haven and a contrast with the coffee chains

Unique little bakery extensive range of breads a must when in Woodbridge! Run by third generation of same family.

National baking competition winner. Service and produce are first rate, BUT don't go late in the day or some items will already have been snapped up! Highly recommended.

Everything is freshly baked on the premises. The Cake Shop not only sells cakes, it has a wide variety of breads to suit everyones tastes.

I went here for a bite to eat an expensive caramel slice but I found the staff were very rude to me, I hadn't done anything but she was nice to the lady who was served before me which I don't understand? I dont find it Britain's best bakery at all! Winning the show led them to think they can sell baked goods for more.. a week friend of mine went in for a job interview during August she was called in for a meet and greet for a job there but the job was already taken by someone two days before. Andrea, the lady who called her in made my friend feel as if to hurry up and go. Poor service, won't be going back. (I did not at all write this review on behalf of my friend, just thought I'd mention it) I also visited this September.

Will return again as the cakes where fantastic and the bread looked lovely. A must as they are award winning!!

Excellent array of breads which has made lunches and breakfasts special for our whole holiday. Cheese scones and Poppy seeded white loaf also highly recommended

I went in for a Belgian bun for the first time in ages, to find that it had no taste or flavour, but had increased in price significantly. Never again

We wanted to shop here after seeing the last two programmes of 'Britain's Best Bakery' There was lots of choice and interesting breads, sandwiches, pies and cakes to tempt us on our holiday. The roast veg and goat's cheese pie was unusual and tasty. I wanted to try the fish pie (as seen on TV!) but it wasn't the right season....so we'll have to come back again one day. The root-veg tray bake was really delicious (even if it sounds weird....) The staff were all very friendly and helpful.

I go here regularly for a to-go lunch and there is always something to tempt me. they do great freshly made sandwiches, and do THE best toasties and there is often a different selection of cakes and treats daily. Their bread is fantastic too...just so much to choose from!

Really enjoy stopping in for delicious breads and a take away snack. This bakery has been serving Woodbridge for several generations and has recently reinvented itself.
