Excellent bakery, perfect Sourdough (only on Saturday) and a simple selection of pastries and breads.

We popped in during our exercise walk after seeing this place was open and we’re glad we did. I bought a whole meal loaf that is the best bread I’ve had in years. A lovely crunchy crust and delicious soft bread inside. Highly recommended, we’ll be back now we know about it.

A tiny shopfront with a fine bakery and very welcoming cafe. The produce is beyond excellent, and service is always cheerful. Parking nearby is limited in this narrow street, but there is a small car park for the Priory church and no-one seems to mind this being used when no service is in progress. Note that this is in Deeping St James, not Market Deeping. The various Deeping villages are more or less contigous, but jealously guard their individual identities.

This a good little home made bakery which these days are few and far between. Highly recommend the rolls bread and good selection of cakes. Dont forget the cornish pasties and sausage rolls. Little gem in a nice village.

The Old Bakery sell delicious fresh bread and cakes and also serve tea and coffee with delicious filled rolls in the upstairs cafe - would definitely recommend a visit

Husband bought 4 Eccles cakes early on a Sat morning we gave two to our neighbours felt so embarrassed they were inedible and rock hard. Either left to long in oven or yesterday's stock. Won't be going again

I love going into this bakery, though being on a diet makes it a bit difficult. The owner is very talented not only as an artisan baker but also as an artist. He bakes "flavoured" breads on Saturdays and his hot cross buns are the best I've ever tasted!!

We shop regularly at the Old Bakery and the bread and the cakes are just amazing. All are baked in a old Victorian coal fired oven; this has been a bakery for over a century, The owner is not interested in mass producing food to maximise profits; all he wants to do is bake the best bread and the best hot-cross buns (available all year but you queue on Good Friday round the block) the best scones, etc. At certain times of the year he will use fresh produce to bake unusual breads and he is always trying something different. At some point he will retire (not for another 20 years or so looking at him) but we already fear for what will happen to this gem of a shop when he does hang up him apron. I know that this review is under the heading of "restaurants" and (in truth) we have never eaten here but judging from the number of customers that we have seen who stop and have take-away sandwiches (usually with a cake) they also seem to appreciate the charm of this place that is gloriously stuck in a time bubble which we hope will not burst for years to come.

there has been a bakery here for many many years. They bake on the premises and you always know it is fresh. small selection of cakes. Sausage rolls.

The jam donuts are the best I've ever had! Always have one after going to the gym, great energy food

A lovely little bakery, tucked away in Deeping St James. Fresh bread is baked daily, and the homemade traditional buns and doughnuts are some of the best I have tasted. Clive is a local who owns and runs the business, and is always very friendly and welcoming.

Went into the bakery to buy some cakes. As I entered the shop a man behind the counter ignored me and went out to the back. A woman came into serve me. There were four belgian buns on a plate in the top of the counter and I asked for three of them. She started to put them in a bag and a mans voice called out, 'no, they are for display only'. He didn't come out to explain. I said what is wrong without them. The woman just shrugged. The Man didn't appear. There was nothing else I wanted so I left. The selection of cakes left was very limited and all high in sugar. I am so annoyed at this rude inexplicable behaviour I am posting this negative review. It is a difficult place to park safely and I certainly won't take the time to park up and try the shop again. Tip for the owner. Don't walk away from customers when they enter your shop and if you are going to refuse service, give a proper explanation.

Great bread, gorgeous doughnuts, Clive the baker is a character! Filled rolls and soft drinks available.

Amazing choice of real bread, in a completely different league to the rubbish you get from supermarkets. Recommend going on a Saturday morning as have a lot nor choice of different breads. The chilli loaf is my personal favourite and the donuts are the best I've ever had

A great place for bread, cakes and savouries to eat in or take away, all cooked on the pemises. There is a small tea room upstairs. Friendly local business worth a visit.
