The Hidden Bakery in Broxtowe

Honestly for the food it’s 5 stars. Reviewed as 4 as was quite let down by the person working on the front counter/coffee bar was not very cheerful. We visited the morning of November 8th. The food was AMAZING! And had absolutely no faults! The kind woman who took the booking on the phone was extremely cheerful and bubbly, however the woman working on the coffee bar was not so much. Barely cracked a smile and did not seem to want to engage in polite conversation. Will happily visit again, hopefully this was a one off! :)

Always made to feel welcome with good quality food and value for money . Nice little cafe no hustle and bustle

Breakfast FULL ENGLISH £7.50 sausage patty, bacon, eggs, mushrooms beans, tomatoes, mini roasties & toast. We have tried a lot of full English breakfasts. The quality of ingredients and value for money takes some beating. You can even make your own. We sat outside on their terrace with our doggies as it was a lovely, sunny morning. The food served here is all cooked fresh to order. Their opening hours are: Wed - Sat 9am - 2pm Sun 9.30am - noon

Well below par today 3 of us had breakfast and 2 of them the eggs were uncooked and slimy, the tomatoes were just about warm and mushrooms not fried enough! For 30 pound you expect it bang on and the service has never been great each time I have came won’t be visiting again! Only positive was the sausage patty

We visit regularly for breakfast, the veggie options are delicious and my partner loves the cakes on offer. Overall great food, prices and staff… but book ahead, it gets busy.

Lovely little space. Food was tasty, served quickly and presented well. The coffees were hot and nice quality. Most tables were reserved on arrival so you may want to ring ahead to check availability on the weekend. Dogs are welcome inside and everything was feasibly priced.

Awful fish finger sandwich. Luckily I checked inside to find it raw!! I couldn’t believe this could happen. It’s only fish fingers after all. The Mocha was barely warm. Totally a waste of my time and money! Toilets were filthy and nothing was available to dry my hands on. I will never visit again!

Visited this café for a bite to eat in my lunch hour. The Manager was too busy gossiping to serve me. Once my order was taken it took over 30 minutes to receive it. The fish was raw inside and the Manager who handed it to me look dishevelled and grubby. Not at all what I expected and would never go again or recommend this horrible place.

Love this place. The menu is great and changes often, plenty of coffee and cake options and all at a very reasonable price. Staff are absolutely lovely too :-)

Very poor. Fatty uncooked bacon. Watery beens Cheap soggy hash brown all squashed on a small plate Would not recommend

The best breakfast, food fantastic, coffees simply excellent, and very good service. Cooked fresh and served efficiently.

Have eaten here loads over the years, normally for breakfast. It’s only a small place so we always book which is always confirmed quickly. Check out their Facebook page for proper food porn! Never disappointed in the food which is always freshly made, the cakes are gorgeous. Heidi and the team are amazingly friendly despite being stupidly busy all the time.

Love this place. Hadn’t been for a little while however yet again everything was delicious and tasty. Staff are always kind, welcoming and lovely. Loved the lemon meringue pie 🥰

Lovely takeaway afternoon tea today. Nice fresh sandwiches, good homemade sausage roll and very nice cake selection. The scones were a little dry but still very nice. Was a lovely surprise birthday treat. And there was so much cake we have leftovers! Would definitely use this bakery again. Look forward to being able to visit for a coffee and cake when it is back open.

Went today with a friend for a cream tea. Pleasant & clean surroundings. Scone came with very little jam, so my friend asked for extra jam, it was brought to us by the waiter. Then the manager came over arms folded & very abrupt. In a loud voice said we should say please & lower our tone towards her staff. Totally amazed at her outburst. Extremely rude & uncalled for, we just couldn’t believe her attitude towards us, will never go back again.

Went for coffee & scone the manger came to the table we were at and shouted that I was rude and spoke in a harsh tone to the server I did not at all, the only person who spoke with a harsh tone and very loud was the manager, arms folded shouting like an old fish wife. The coffee was very nice but the scones were very dry.

The best sausage rolls ever.Just dropped in for coffee and scone,but sausage rolls looked so good I couldnt resist .The scone was lovely and moist and delicious.

We go to the hidden Bakery every Friday for our breakfast. We have the small breakfast that is Plenty!...God knows how big the normal breakfast is. Fav place for coffee too...the coffee machine looks like the starship enterprise :) Staff forever helpful!

Booked a table Saturday night for 9.30 this morning ,It’s a good job as by the time we left it was packed .The food is excellent and reasonably priced ,We also bought 3 chocolate eggs luckily for us they were Amazing .We definitely will be back

We visit here a couple of times a month. The food is great and I’ve never known anyone to be dissatisfied. The cakes are impressive and their home made bread is spot on.

Booked for a festive high tea. The booking wasn’t recorded, we were assured by the wonderful staff that it’d be fine but we might need to wait a few mins for a table. Table came free, service was delightful and food was fantastic. Have eaten here a few times and will keep returning. Fab place!!

Saw this place as I drove by and walked back what a nice place super service, the scones were to die fir served promptly and with style on a slate plate with Wilkins Jam and clotted cream excellent will go again

It's usually busy at the Hidden Bakery, which is a testament to how good it is! You can get a huge homecooked meal for about £6, with good quality ingredients. This ain't no greasy spoon cafe, this is real food, cooked to perfection. The staff are so accommodating and friendly, I asked for a few adjustments to the 'smashed avo' and it was no problem at all for them. I'm so glad that a business like this is thriving in Eastwood!

My friend and I popped in for brunch yesterday after finding the place online as it’s a great halfway meeting point. I wasn’t sure what to expect as is it pretty hidden, but I was able to park directly outside which was super lucky and super convenient. I savoured the veggie breakfast minus the beans and mushroom which were swapped out for extras of the bit I like, and I have to say it was the most delicious veggie breakfast I have had in a long time!!! The portion of halloumi was very generous and the smashed avocado was divine!! The overall portion was great! My friend thoroughly enjoyed her brunch too. You could clearly tell it was fresh and high quality food. The atmosphere was relaxed and the staff were super friendly and welcoming. I also got a cornflake tart to take away to enjoy later and that was super tasty too!Lots of tables were reserved so it might be a good idea to book, we were just lucky to get a great table by chance as we were early to arrive. We’ve already agreed we can’t wait to come back and sample some more goodies on the menu!

Went in the other day for lunch and the food was spot on. The place was nice inside and felt warm and friendly good portions would recommend

A real gem of a place. Delicious homemade food and cakes. Great coffee. Staff and the owner were very welcoming. We will visit again for sure!

I was blown away by this really lovely cream tea that my daughter got me for Mother’s Day. She said she ordered it especially for me, as she popped in to see they were doing gifts for special occasions and she knew I would enjoy my own cream tea. Upon opening the box I had a big smile on my face on seeing all the lovely cakes. They were absolutely delicious and so filling and tasty. What a really lovely idea for something out the ordinary as a gift for loved ones.

Been the the hidden bakery a few times and every time I gets better and better. Top quality foods from the owners. Don't miss out on this place. Top eats

The highlight of this place is the food. Quality ingredients and an imaginative menu which is so reasonably priced I do wonder how they make a profit. Service is a little slow, but this is because everything is cooked freshly to order so is worth the wait. The only down side is availability of tables as there is very little room. They have made bookings available now, but if you’re feeling spontaneous then you have to take pot luck and hope they can squeeze you in.

Living locally in Eastwood, it has always been a struggle to find a meeting place with friends and somewhere to go for good food. After seeing photos and overall good reviews we booked to come for brunch on a Saturday morning.

My son and myself had breakfast there this morning, "Superb" THANKS Pleasant place. Pleasant staff Excellent food. Good coffee. John

Observed a member of staff being rude to an older lady. Another member of staff dismissive to me when i asked about the menu. Sticky tables. Coffees dumpd down and lefta puddle in the saucers.Food really good except fatty bacon. We booked a table however still had to wait. Better on a nice day when you can sit outside.

Called in for lunch, place was very busy, had to wait an hour for food, but it was worth it, I had the superfood salad, which was packed full of flavour, the Mrs had the chicken wrap which was also lovely, but the crowning glory is the cornflake tart.. The nicest I've had anywhere, lovely friendly little place, shall continue to visit.

Heidi and the gang do a great job of making customers to The Hidden Bakery feel fully satisfied whenever they visit.

We have visited the Hidden Bakery numerous times. We love it! Small and friendly with an ever changing choice of specials. What's not to like? We are always full after our lunch, so quite often take home a sweet treat...yum!

We have never ever had a bad visit we go a few times a month. All these bad reviews are absolute rubbish. The food is amazing. If there is a wait they tell you but it always comes before the time they said. It’s home made beautiful food. Staff are so lovely. If you want fast food go to McDonald’s if you want a lovely quality meal in a relaxed friendly environment this is the place to go! Would give more than 5 if I could!

My first visit courtesy of our daughter buying us a gift voucher.

Recently visited for breakfast and it was lovely as always! Good sized portions and the staff are pleasant. Shortage on parking but definitely recommend!! 💕

I am a bit reluctant to review this one as it's the best breakfast for miles around. Fantastic and reasonably priced too.

Food is always great, staff a joy, such a pleasant place to be! Not tried the cakes we bought to take home yet 😋

Gorgeous little eatery. Visited for breakfast with my mum. Love the fact you can reserve a table which we did. Coffee is wonderful and strong. Food made fresh to order and tasted amazing. Had a couple of cakes to take away which didn't last long. Such friendly helpful staff and very accommodating. Definitely going again soon

Went in a 9am and ordered two coffees and two small breakfasts, told a small delay.

Fabulous place. You need to book to avoid disappointment but great breakfasts the sausages are amazing.

Although the food was delicious, though it was a little over priced for what it was, I had the grilled cheese sandwich, although the menu said it was triple cheese, sadly it had thinly spread cheese. The pot of tea on the other hand was value for money, and I was able to have multiple cups from the same pot. It’s hard to find a decent seat at times as they are limited, go early would be my recommendation.

We have been to the hidden bakery on numerous occasions and every time we leave happy. The service is brilliant and the food is delicious. We usually ring up to book a table first as seating is limited but they have always found room for us. Our place to go on a Saturday morning now for breakfast and coffee. Well done guys!!!

Fabulous hot food . Nothing was too much trouble. Faultless reasonable priced and highly recommend. Best breakfast we have all ever had . Perfect !

A lovely place that is just that little bit quirky. The two staff that were there, that I assumed were the owners, were really friendly and welcoming. The kitchen was open and immaculately clean. I had the veggie one pot breakfast which had halloumi, avocado, home baked bread, beans, tomatoes, mushrooms, and potatoes. Cooked beautifully. Well done, we’ll definitely be coming back.

My partner and I tried out the 'Hidden Bakery' on the basis of the excellent reviews it has received. On the positive side the venue is quirky and characterful, and the staff are friendly. It feels like an upmarket cafe with a delicatessen vibe. Unfortunately the food and service were really disappointing. I understand that the food is cooked fresh and can take a while to prepare at busy times, but on the two occasions when we visited we waited over 30 minutes for breakfast items, which is really too long. Secondly, the food did not justify the wait or the price. The eggs benedict served here only comes with spinach - there is no classic meat option (with ham), and - unforgivably - the eggs are fried rather than poached! Eggs benedict with fried eggs on spinach?! Come on! The hollandaise also tasted as if it had come out of a carton: not an experience we will be wanting to repeat any time soon.

I ordered pork pies for Christmas. They were absolutely delicious! Would highly recommend all produce from here.

Dropped in for a quick coffee and cookies, excellent. I will go again often. Near to bus stop and handy for the town.

Visited here with a friend for a catch up before Christmas. We treated ourselves to afternoon tea and we wasn't disappointed. The food was amazing with a huge mix of sweet and savoury treats. There was a Christmas theme to all the food and everything was absolutely delicious. We couldn't manage to eat some of the cakes as there was so much , a cake box was provided for each of us to take the goodies home. The staff were lovely and very attentive. All in all a lovely afternoon out and will definitely be visiting again to try other things on the menu.

Excellent coffee, vegan options too. Great ambience, decor is spot on. Had a Portuguese Tart which was gorgeous. It's my new regular.

What a fab night we have enjoyed at the Hidden Bakery. So much food and all with a retro twist. Appetiser: sausage rolls, quiche and pineapple and cheese on sticks with a vegetarian alternative.

Love their breakfasts, excellent food, friendly service and reasonably priced what more could you ask for and all cooked fresh to order

We had heard rave reviews about this place so decided on a saturday lunchtime to give it a try. Very busy and quite noisy but the staff are all lovely and the food was brilliant.

Lovely evening at this hidden gem ... we went to the Mexicsn night... 21 people in all snd it was brilliant

Went on the spur of the moment on Saturday to try their street food menu (available 3pm-8pm). The choice was amazing however the burger and chips won, and the value at £7 for double burger and trimmings beats anything else locally hands down. They also delivered an extra bowl of chips too!! Home made Cake and Coffee to follow and we were fit to burst.

My sister and I have been several times for breakfast, always very tasty, well cooked and beautifully presented food, we always receive a warm welcome and excellent service. Hubby and I went for supper last night as I had won the recent FB competition, we both had the burger with fries on the side, absolutely delicious. The flavour combination was fab we both enjoyed our meal very much. We would highly recommend The Hidden Bakery and would like to say a big thankyou to Heidi and the team for looking after us, see you very soon

Nice fresh home cooked meals and desserts. Oh my goodness I can't recommend enough. You can see your food being cooked and friendly staff too. Will definitely be going back

Had a lovely lunch at The Hidden Bakery. There was a wait for the food and the restaurant was full, but it was worth it for the reasonably priced, great tasting meal.

I have been visiting the Hidden Bakery for a while now, and whilst it might come across as being a bakery, it is actually more so than a bakery, it is an artisan bakery, with freshly made breads, cakes, buns etc and other lovely things on the menu. There coffee and Tea is lovely as well, especially the Mocha.

Had the open prawn sandwich my friend had cola cooked ham bread was fantastic,will definitely go again

Me and the wife decided to go to this place Saturday morning, especially with all the hype from the locals.

Visited this super cafe / bakery upon the recommendation of our eldest son. What a fabulous place.

We have visited The Hidden Bakery a few times now for breakfast, lunch and for two of the superb Supper Club evenings. What a brilliant idea! I love that phones are banned and getting to know your neighbour is encouraged (on the supper clubs). In the daytime there’s a large ‘social’ table to encourage strangers to sit together or the standard smaller tables. At busy times there can be a wait to sit down as it is small premises but definitely worth the wait. All the bread and cakes are homemade and fresh. Today I had the lemon curd sponge which was still slightly warm in the centre as I ate - can’t get fresher!!

I had popped in with the kids to buy some scones a couple weeks earlier and thought the place looked really nice and the food being eaten looked great, so I decided to pop in for lunch with my wife. What a pleasant experience we had. As the name suggests, The Hidden Bakery is only small, but what it lacks in size is more than made up by it's character. We were instantly greeted and welcomed by the friendly staff and shown the specials on offer. There was a table free outside and it was a nice day, so we asked for our order to be brought to our table, which was no problem. We enjoyed a nice pot of tea each, whilst waiting for our food and soaked up the friendly and relaxing atmosphere. I had a bacon double cheeseburger and my wife had a BLT, which were delicious and substantial, whilst only setting us back what you expect to pay at any generic fast food franchise. This is a little gem of a place, where you can enjoy food and drink in a lovely setting with a great atmosphere. Yes the place is small, but if you go there and it's busy, instead of coming on here and writing rubbish reviews, just wait for a table or pop back later. It's worth the wait.

Visited my son and his partner today they took me to hidden bakery for my birthday wow fantastic food big portions I couldn’t eat it all fantastic cornflake tart for pudding service was excellent staff and owners were so friendly would definitely go there again I can highly recommend it

Oh my god that was the best eggs Benedict I have ever had!!! Would defo recommend good price as well!!!

Had a brilliant time on Saturday night at the Italian themed supper club. Excellent food and pleasant company. Definitely recommend

Can’t rate the place highly enough. The chef definitely knows their flavour combinations, the falafel wrap I had was outstanding! Very good coffee also. Staff very friendly and happy to help. Can’t wait for my next visit already and I’m telling all my friends to eat here.

Visited several times now and every time the staff have been warm and welcoming, the food great and all I can fault is the lack of seating, but this just shows how popular this place is. The food is freshly cooked using quality locally sourced ingredients. Great value for money and made with love.

It really annoys me when people give 'terrible' ratings for a place on the basis of having to wait for a table.

If this review was purely on the food it would be an easy 5*! Had to lose a point for set up of the tables though- one long table for 6 people rather than three smaller tables for couples - if there were more people in a group you could always push them together. The problem with the big table is there could be two couples seated at either end and you’d have to push behind to get to the middle and clash elbows with strangers. Seating is limited anyway as it’s a very small area, so don’t expect to always be guaranteed a table. Food though- incredible! My husband ate as I wasn’t hungry and he had the Hilltop Pot (full English). It was served on a hot plate on top of a wooden slab- beautiful presentation and the food was piping! All cooked fresh (takes a while as you’d expect) and all very tasty from the sausages to the mouthwatering fresh bread. Tea was also really good value (you get a pot with around 4 cups in for £2). Surroundings were great and loved the bluesy music. I can’t wait to go back and try the food for myself!

We are Supper Club addicts!!! We attended yet another fabulous evening hosted by Heidi and the team. Tonight was Greek night. Yet again sublime food and service, Heidi and team have something so so special right here. Amazing food, an atmosphere which makes you feel like you're dining with friends and family and just an utterly great evening. Please visit. Eastwood and surrounding areas you really are missing out on an absolute treat! Thank you! See you all soon x

I have been to the Hidden Bakery many times, and everytime has been great. The food is all cooked from scratch in the kitchen, this includes the cakes, pastries and bread, the drinks are wonderful, not the best I have ever had, however this is coming from someone who has frequented a lot of high-class cafes.

Called in at lunchtime in a group of five (including a 3 year-old). Had to wait for a table but not phased by that as it is only a small place and does not take table reservations. On the positive side the food was OK and reasonably priced and the staff very pleasant. However, it was very cramped, we had to wait a long time for someone to clear and wipe our table, it felt grubby, the food was a long time coming (I had already finished my coffee) and then came in batches rather than altogether. The name 'The Hidden Bakery eatery' just about sums it up for me. I couldn't find much to suggest that an upgrade to a 'cafe' was imminent!

My partner arranged for a surprise cake delivery a few weeks ago (I only live round the corner). One word: Nommin!

Dropped in for takeaway lunch.ordered 3 cheese toastie with mustard mayo.bacon sandwich.for someone else,had to Waite about 25 mins as very busy,finally bought out wrapped and bagged.my cheese toastie was lovely and on Brown bread which I only eat.my friends was also on Brown cob but she don't only white,but was not asked,so never ate hers,there was plenty of bacon in the cob.so can't complain about that,but need to ask people if they want white or brown.would definitely go back for another cheese toastie.best one I have had for a long time.

Called in for the first time, wasn't disappointed, the coffee is lovely, the staff are friendly and there is a general lovely ambience, shall definitely call again.

i decided to have lunch here i ordered cheese on toast and a coffee. the coffee was very nice but i never got the cheese on toast so after 30 mins i left and got a refund and went to greggs

Newly opened in December 2017, this delightful eatery is to be found at Hill Top next to Sainsbury’s ( not town centre ) Called here this morning for the first time for a coffee and snack. Will certainly not be my last visit! Lovely selection of freshly made scones, cakes, breads etc and the possibility to buy to take away. Tastefully decorated and delightful staff. Would recommend highly!

We absolutely love this place. Food is fantastic, service top notch and we could rave about it all day. Can't wait for next supper club! Keep up the great work guys x

Lovely place for a bite to eat, very tasty food. The staff were very kind and helpful, my daughter has asd and is a bit of a fussy eater, she didn't like anything on the menu so they very kindly made her a cheese sandwich which she absolutely loved. Shame it's not a larger place as while we were there loads of people looked in but there was nowhere to sit.

I only live around the corner and was so surprised when I gave this place a try. Amazing food (be prepared for a LITTLE wait, it's GOOD food, not FAST food!) and great coffee. The atmosphere is vibrant but relaxed. The servers and owners are brilliant and very helpful.

Was invited to a baby shower at The hidden bakery, heard good things about this place and was not disappointed.The staff were very attentive and pleasant throughout,The food was delicious and pleasing to the eye.There were tea and coffee refills and the desserts were beautiful.The portions for each person were very generous and that includes all the different filled rolls beforehand.Will be coming back.Highly recommend this establishment.

It’s a mother and toddler group screaming babies to small gave me a head ache Table wobbled Omg nightmare

Husband and I really enjoyed the food and buzzing atmosphere. I wanted everything on the menu, but couldn’t resist the homemade hash browns in the sausage and egg cob.

This is a great place to meet friends and eat and chat. Great bread and good fresh cooked meals. They are also welcoming of the assistance dog that follows me everywhere. Space however is limited and I feel they may outgrow this place very quickly. It is limited in space for prams and wheelchairs.
