The Secret Bakery in Harrogate - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Well worth a visit,super little artisan style bakery.I bought the white sourdough,focaccia boule,two toasties,two scones and two chunky biscoff brownies.Pleasant staff and cute little tables inside plus outdoor seating. Wish we had a bakery like this where we live! Highly recommend the sourdough toasties,set us up for our journey home to Wales.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿❤️

The food is fresh and delicious. It has a warm buzzing atmosphere and the staff are often friendly and kind would recommend if you wanna support a small business

Was left ignored and unserved. Decided to just wait for our train in the end without purchasing. Servers time was taken with filling a just eat order. Us and others completely ignored.

This little gem of a cafe is just perfect, conveniently placed near the hospital. Means a great pit stop for me after my visits there.

Lovely bakery at Harrogate train station! Very friendly and helpful staff and very tasty products!

Just what I needed post parkrun :)

Visited today with my husband for breakfast. What a find. I had the most delicious chicken, pesto, salad sandwich on sourdough bread. It was packed with chicken and tasted so fresh and yummy. My husband had the ham and mature cheese toastie and again he said it was delicious. Packed with ham and proper mature cheese. Staff were very friendly. The cakes and scones looked fab but I was too full from the sandwich to try one. Well done, will definitely call in again when in the area.

Lovely bakery in Harrogate serving sandwiches, toasties, baked treats and more! Would recommend the bacon, brie and onion chutney toastie!

I am a little disappointed to be honest! My partner and I are moving to Scotland and we needed energy for the move! This is the best breakfast I’ve had hands down in Harrogate! I discover it the day before I move! This world is a cruel place ! Just want to say thank you so much. It’s amazing to see how much you guys care about the food you make, the bread is incredible and the ingredients perfection!! Thank you so much. Ps debating if a six hour journey is acceptable for a bacon and egg sandwich.

The sourdough bread is very nice. The salad wasn't as fresh as it could have been. The coffee was also very nice. There was a few teething problems with new staff whilst we were there but I'm sure it will get sorted. Either that or your food could be free. Lots of parking just not outside the dentist place on the corner.

Absolutely fabulous place! The homemade quiche and salad I had for lunch was delicious, excellent coffee and the bread I got to take home is to die for (olive focaccia and a Chorizo and cheese cob) And the staff are all lovely too! Highly recommended

This was unexpected. Stopped for a quick coffee and ended up having the most delicious sandwich I think I've ever eaten. Felt compelled to write this as so many places in Harrogate are all show.

Fabulous bakery and cafe in Harrogate Station. Good coffee, delicious cakes, handy for the train. Bought a loaf of seeded bread and it’s excellent.

What a little Gem !!!!!! Googled a nearby bakery on our road trip and found this one So glad we did We ordered two sandwiches (so indulgent and full of flavour) lemon drizzle slice frangipani slice sourdough loaf and a couple of sausage rolls Everything was absolutely delicious we couldn’t fault anything soooooo tasty Cakes where the best we’ve had for a Long time ……. Very friendly staff Quick service High recommended ***** We ate most of it before thinking to take any pictures 🤣

Amazing tasty toasties and paninis, and the cakes are INCREDIBLE. Unfortunately the coffee is always disappointing and tastes burnt. But everything else is great!

No atmosphere, a woman serving who was uninterested in serving. The worst cheese and ham toasty ever with far too much ham and unmelted cheese. So many good cafes in Harrogate, shan’t be returning.

Nice seating area inside. Had to wait a while for my takeaway coffee order. I think the coffee flavour could be improved as it tasted a bit weak and a little off. The pain au raisin pastry we had tasted a little bland as well. However, I think this place has great potential and the name sounds cool. I haven't tried all the food items however, so if I try again I may update my review.

Always friendly and helpful, without a doubt the best sandwiches in Harrogate! Always a treat to go here!

Interesting breads and cakes. Not in the nicest or most convenient of locations but worth a visit.

Possibly the largest breakfast sandwich I've seen. Both it and the coffee was great, especially at 7:30. Staff very friendly too!

A very nice bakery. Good sandwiches and coffee

Been in the train station shop twice now and staff are unbelievably rude. No hello, no how can I help, no goodbye and no smile. It’s really not hard to have basic customer service skills. Wouldn’t recommend.

Very good! Excellent tiffin, comfortable seating in the window and friendly staff. What more could you want while waiting for relatives with hospital appointments?

Great little bakery serving delicious, freshly prepared, sandwiches and cakes, all made on the premises. You can sit in but it is also very popular for take away lunches. I was served by the delightful Matthew, who even poured my tea. Very generous hand carved ham salad sandwich on their own sourdough bread. Located next door to Yarn etc selling an incredible range of yarn for knitting and crochet. My idea of heaven but a little too far away from my home near Glasgow. However, I will be back.

What a great place - excellent coffee and delicious baked goods. Super friendly staff. Reasonably priced. Right next to the station. What's not to like! Wholeheartedly recommend it.

The best real sourdough bread ever.we tried the spelt and the whole meal versions. Both were delicious. They bake several different types of sourdough . The olive looked amazing I want to try that next time.Get there early.

Fantastic coffee, sandwiches and cakes. Also handy if you're at the hospital.

Recent visit , wonderful service , the sandwich was made on the spot and was amazing ... can't wait to go back and sample more including coffee :) Update 2024 Sept 30 - This place continues to be awesome. Popped in for a coffee and pastrami sandwich , both were sublime. If you’ve got the time and don’t mind a small premium (nhs and blue badge discount available) then this place is a must. oh and do your best not to be tempted by the cakes/cookies just looking at them is too tempting. Final note they do offer a “club card” to get a free coffee.

Called in for lunch and I was really disappointed. Over priced and felt like an inconvenience by the man who interrupted the girl who was serving me perfectly fine, as I didn't have the exact change. Despite me offering the closest amount possible with the money I had. I wouldn't return

To say this sandwich was mediocre would be too kind. Ordered a over priced mozzarella, pesto and tomato toasted sandwich. First of all wasn’t toasted when I got to my destination, had to go back. Mozzarella was cheap grated mozzarella and stingy. Also had warm soggy cucumber and spinach, very random ingredients not advertised. Had high expectations for this place. Disappointing.

Much loved cafe and bakery a stonesthrow from Harrogate Hospital.

Nice independent bakery. Plenty of filling in the sandwiches, and very pleasant staff too.

Lovely spot,small bakery.10% off for NHS workers.

What a lovely locally owned business. Great food and very friendly. They make their own bread which is 1st class as are the sandwich fillings and cake. Let's not forget the coffee. A delicious flat white is always on the menu for me. Nothing is too much trouble. Highly recommend.

I popped in randomly as I was passing and had the coronation chicken sandwich with salad on the seeded loaf. It was lovely, both the filling and bread was superb. Next time I visit I'll pick up a whole loaf to take home.

I have eaten here numerous times with takeout sandwiches and have always found them to be exceptional quality. Service is consistently friendly and welcoming, even when busy... Which they often are. Home made bread and an array of tasty cakes with good quality sandwich fillings. A small area to sit if you so choose and dog friendly too. Highly recommend.

Popped in today and bought a loaf of olive and herb, very fresh and tasty will be visiting again.

Attitude from staff is not worth it

Fantastic food and coffee, beautiful atmosphere and lovely staff

Thought this was just a Bar/Takeaway but thankfully tables hidden inside . Probably best coffee in Knaresborough

Great selection and top quality bread. Tasty sandwiches, especially the pastrami. We go from Leeds twice a month. It is absolutely worth it.

Always friendly smiley staff and THE BEST COOKIE EVER (and I’ve tried many!!!)

Nice place for a coffee and they make great bread.

Sandwiches and cakes delicious. Staff always friendly.

My husband ordered two fabulous sandwiches on sourdough and a delicious huge chocolate cookie whilst I was having a scan in Harrogate Hospital - what a treat to come out to.

The best breads and cakes in Harrogate. Lovely little cafe with happy, friendly staff.

Amazing breads, great seeded sourdough and creative loaves like this wild garlic and cheese one that was absolutely delicious. Room for one or two cars to park in front of the cafe.

Fantastic bakery. We go from time to time from Leeds. All bread is exquisite but mention apart to the 5 seeds, and the marmite and cheese. It's worth saying that brunch options are de delicious.

Great types of bread. Acceptable prices. The seeded bread was so tasty we are considering of going to Harrogate only for this bread. You can enjoy excellent toasts sitting inside. The seating space is small, but there are a few tables and chsirs outside, when the weather allows.

Popped in for a coffee and ended up having breakfast sandwiches too. Lovely little independent bakery with good coffee and options of toasted and untoasted sandwiches, pastries and cakes. Selection of bread including sourdough. Limited seating space inside, but there are also a few tables and chairs outside, but not that practical in the winter or UK weather most of the year! Cosy cafe but no toilet facilities.

Fabulous sarnie mmmm scrumptious Staff very friendly and helpful.

Popped in to get some bread and they'd almost completely sold out... except for a loaf of 5 seeds granary. Bought it and it's fantastic - a real treat. Very glad to have this bakery nearby and will definitely visit again.

Wonderful little bakery who showed me immense kindness when I visited in December while my son was poorly in hospital. Food and coffee were excellent too. I'll never forget it. Thank you ❤️

Lovely spot..lovely service..10% off for NHS workers..ask for bread to be sliced!..beware no toilet!

My husband and I slightly regret stumbling across The Secret Bakery now... because no other bread we eat could ever be as delicious! We've recently found ourselves popping in most weekends for a takeaway sandwich (pesto and coronation chicken are both divine.) The staff are super friendly and we always enjoy the food and other sweet treats. We look forward to eating in-house soon and would definitely recommend The Secret Bakery to everyone.

Just a really nice place decent sound in a decent cup of coffee

We have visited the cafe and purchased from the bakery on a number of occasions and the quality of the many types of Bread, cakes, sandwiches, Hot food and drinks on offer are delicious and fantastic value. A lovely family run business whose passion and dedication are reflected in the quality of the food and drinks they produce on the premises. I cannot recommend it highly enough and is a "must" for a visit if you are in Harrogate or Knaresborough.

Just picked a Too Good to Go bag, or tried to anyway. They said it had been cancelled even though App clearly showed it hadn’t been. Not helped by the short, surly, middle aged bloke at the Harrogate shop not even apologising. Not impressed withe attitude. Edit - poor response. We’ve had orders cancelled before via Too Good to Go and get notifications well in advance so that we don’t waste time and money on an unnecessary trip. You failed to notify them hence they couldn’t let me know. Your staff said they told you yesterday there would be no stock available for a pick up. Hence the fault is yours, not Too Good to Go.

Bardzo miła obsługa smaczne dania

Have just had the best breakfast sandwich ever, absolutely delicious!!! A telephone order which the friendly staff had ready as I arrived, real quality food which is obviously made with lots of love and dedication, already looking forward to my next visit. Thanks guys.

A random google search ("harrogate bakery") led us here in search of food supplies for a long drive to London. Excellent (and huge!) cheese and chutney sandwiches and a couple of first-rate flapjacks made us glad we stopped.

This place is my favourite bakery. Their sandwiches are beautiful, especially the sourdough, falafel and houmous with salad. Always with a cheeky bag of crisps too. 😋

This bakery is amazing, it's my happy place ,the energy of staff is incredible, always give you a boost with their kindness and service. And the loaves and sandwiches! Best yet, brie, onion chutney on 5 seed loaf! Thanks so much xx

The brie and caramelized onion sourdough grilled sandwich is amazing! I'm sitting outside the shop writing this review and I'm tempted to go back in for another.

Best coffee and sourdough bread take away in the area.

Excellent sandwich, fresh bread baked on the premises and good coffee. Will be returning!

Beautiful fresh food Great customer service I would recommend To anyone

Orderd Two tuna toasties arrived hard burnt toast with piles of overloaded tuna to the point where is was dropping all over I was so disappointed will not bother again so expensive for low quality food.

Everything here is amazing, cakes, sandwiches, bread and coffee. Really reasonably priced too. We love it

Great staff. Good selection of breads. Nice coffee.

Tomato, two kinds of cheeses and pesto toasted perfectly on sourdough bread - so delicious. You can grab a meal while buying a loaf of bread.

We had the toasties which were a very generous size and so tasty. Also a large slice of Bakewell tart which was so delish and all served by two lovely staff members

Amazing little bakery, coffee fantastic, staff great, quirky inside - loved it.

Best sourdough available anywhere

Really nice, friendly spot. Staff were very helpful choosing a mixed selection of cakes for me. They also wrapped and boxed the cakes. The cakes were fantastic, tasty and the cake slices were big 😁 Highly recommended

Perfect sandwich perfect perportion of filling xxx great price good service friendly staff

There is a small waiting time, please consider in a hurry.

Excellent bread and cakes, good coffee, lovely staff. The chocolate bread is a must!

I went in to the bakery to order a takeaway coffee and cake. To start with i was left waiting for about 10 minutes and heard nothing from a single member of staff. When I was choosing the food/drinks I wanted to order items weren't clearly priced so it was a bit of a gamble, when I was eventually served the person was rude and irritable. But I continued with my order and i only ordered 2 coffees so when the bill was so high I was surprised. After not having a great experience inside I left the secret bakery with my drinks to find that they don't make there cappuccinos correctly. Safe to say I am very disappointed with my experience there after hearing such good things and I don't plan on returning in future

After passing this place a few time me and my partner decided to try it out. Won’t be going back. Over priced, rude staff and did t get the order right waited 20 minutes for two sandwhiches.

Wonderful bakery and service, just missing a toilet for those who would like to stay longer and have a few cups or who have children.

Best lemon drizzle cake I've ever had

Follow these on instagram after my husband popped in for sandwiches! Which might I add were amazing! 😁

Very friendly and lovey coffee and cakes

Brilliant place with superb 🍞 and 🍰!!! Very clean as well.

Best craft bakery in Harrogate. Try the five seed loaf and the focaccia.

Best ham salad sandwich we've had in years. Definitely use again.

Came for an afternoon bite to takeaway. Very accommodating for vegan options, nothing was a problem! Lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. Sandwiches were delicious and such a treat to have. Coffee was really great 👍 would recommend

I don't normally have the time to do reviews being a new mum but I just wanted to mention how kind and helpful the people serving us were this morning. We ordered some food and drink to eat in and our daughter was unwell and we had to leave the cafe to sort out her "accident". We had to leave all our untouched food and drink before returning upon which, we had to ask them to change it to takeaway even though our friends had just arrived. They were so kind, busying around us, sorting out our food during this chaos. Thank you for being so understanding.

I will always remember the lovely staff. Northern, humble loveliness. This is a cute bakery to grab all things freshly baked. Try their full range of traditional sandwiches. Those looking for something a little more exotic. The falafel filling will fill yer boots.

The staff is really nice, friendly and helpful. The food is very tasty, fantastic fresh bread, so nice sandwiches and the desserts - oh my, awesome! Thank you The Secret Bakery!

Lovely staff, so friendly. Coffee and bread just delightful.

A little gem, you can see why people travel to come here.

Delicious cakes and lovely friendly staff. I sat for a while when a family member was visiting the hospital and will definitely be coming back when I'm in Harrogate again!

Had 2 sandwiches this morning one was prefect, the other very poor. You can't be a premium sandwich/bakery and serve CHEAP PRODUCTS i.e Cheap sausages.

Amazing and very creative cakes.

Superb little bakery. I asked them to bake a cake for an occasion recently, and they came up with the goods. It was excellent. Great, friendly little shop with smashing cakes and buns.

Excellent customer service and sandwiches are to die for keep it up.

A lovely little café serving breakfast/lunch menu. We had croissants and Lady Grey tea - very fresh and tasted lovely, price was very reasonable and the staff were also super friendly and attentive. The other baked breads and cakes looked super yummy, would definitely return again when we're in the area.

Fantastic will be going back again.
