The Tiny Bakery in Leicester

Hemos estado viniendo aquí por un tiempo, dentro y fuera. Sus bebidas son agradables, pero a veces sus productos son secos y no muy sabrosos, en particular no por cuánto cobran y su servicio al cliente no es bueno! Cuando entré, las mujeres detrás del mostrador solo miraban a su alrededor; sin sonrisas, sin bienvenida. Cuando mencioné lo que quería nadie me reconoció hasta el punto de que tuve que preguntar si necesitaba hablar con alguien específico, ya que parecía que estaba hablando con la pared. Cuando le pregunté qué era un tema en particular, ella respondió con tal actitud, que sentí que no debería haberme molestado en preguntar. Definitivamente no volveré, ya que espero un buen servicio al cliente no una actitud de "no puedo ser molestado". Me pregunto si mi vestido o color de piel influyó en su comportamiento porque lo he notado varias veces cuando lo he estado. ¡Todo es muy forzado y sientes que estás pisando cáscaras de huevo cuando todo lo que quieres es un pequeño placer! Esta visita me dio en el clavo del ataúd. También me aseguraré de avisar a los demás para evitarlo.

El personal aquí era muy amable! Tuve el triple dolor de chocolate au chocolat y sabía tan increíble! Teniendo en cuenta que había algunos pasteles realmente únicos los precios son razonables.

Consistently unfriendly staff (many reviews attest to this) + hairy pastries. Word of advice, don’t work in customer service if you don’t like people and learn to take some accountability. Based off many reviews here on google, tiny bakery cannot accept their faults. Quit putting hair on the pastries why don’t cha! 🤡

It really is tiny and cute. Delicious food all vegetarian and alcohol free. Didn't take any pictures as we devoured it without thinking 😋

Excellent quality! Sourdough and loads of sweet & savory extras! All made there.... people are great too!

Tiny Bakery is undoubtedly one of the finest establishments in Leicester. This charming bakery is a delightful place to visit, and we wholeheartedly recommend it to those seeking exceptional quality paired with polite and friendly service. In summary, it is not the size of the bakery that defines its excellence; rather, it is the remarkable quality of the offerings that truly stands out. We encourage you to give it a try and you certainly will not regret it.

This beautiful tiny shining star of a bakery is a must visit. Be warned, everyone else knows it's amazing too so can be busy but the wait is so worthwhile. The creativity of the bakes is second to none and you are sure to enjoy their hot drinks too.

Products are nice but the staff are shocking

I recently visited The Tiny Bakery for my birthday, and I was blown away by how incredible their pastries are! Everything was so fresh and delicious, with a variety that pleased everyone in my family—both young and old. From flaky croissants to rich cakes, every bite was a treat. It was the perfect way to celebrate, and I’ll definitely be coming back for more! Highly recommend if you’re looking for top-notch baked goods with something for everyone.

The best bakery in town for sure! Thank you for my amazing chai latte and even more amazing almond Croissant. My son loves the cakes from your bakery, thank you for creating such delicious treats.

La mejor panadería de la ciudad seguro! Gracias por mi increíble chai latte y aún más increíble Croissant de almendras. A mi hijo le encantan los pasteles de su panadería, gracias por crear tan deliciosos dulces.

Amor amor amor amor. ¡La mejor panadería! Los cruasanes de almendras son para morir. Tuve un toque de chocolate y semillas de amapola de limón que eran divinos. Se puede saborear la frescura y me encanta cómo se hacen todos los productos en el sitio desde cero, no conozco ningún otro lugar que haga eso.

I envy the inhabitants of this bakery. The breads in the photos are impressive, but unfortunately they were gone by 2-2 p.m. Coffee and cookies great

Nice place to get pastries in Leicester. Always a long queue on weekend but definitely worth it! Their croissant and chocolate twist are so buttery and taste amazing 🥐

Vengo aquí menos de lo que me gustaría - una amplia gama de productos diferentes todos horneados en el lugar. Los cruasanes siempre son populares, la masa madre es excelente - me gustan los pasteles salados también. ¡Llegue temprano para evitar una larga espera!

Lovely vibe, and very efficient staff considering how busy it was on a Saturday morning! First visit, won't be the last :)

Nice baked goods but the service leaves much to be desired. The lady at the counter was getting worked up about my child (a toddler) touching the plastic display screen. My child wasn't damaging anything but the lady was acting as though she was going to break something. If you're concerned about people damaging your displays maybe go with glass instead of flimsy plastic. I won't be coming here again.

Tiny bakery offers fresh baked products which are tasty ( when you are fortunate to get there early enough to buy them). They never seem to have enough stock. Some of the staff are a bit abrupt and lacking in politeness and I’ve found this on a few occasions so it’s not a one off. Can be hard to find parking around here at times.

MUST VISIT! This place does amazing vegan baked goods, and we had two lovely oat milk london fogs as a takeaway which tasted divine! Staff were really friendly too. It's obviously super popular with the locals too. A fab bakery 👌 👏

I really enjoy the pastries in The Tiny Bakery, and I regularly visit the shop. However, their service this morning left me feeling uncomfortable and hesitant to return. The Tiny Bakery offers a loyalty card scheme where if you purchase ten drinks, the next one is on them. I simply asked this morning if they could extend this loyalty scheme to the baked goods. I asked this question more out of curiosity because the pastries and the drinks are similar in price. The tone in which I was replied to made me feel like I was foolish to even ask that question in the first place. Their hospitality leaves me hesitant to return, which is a shame, because their baked goods are nice.

The best bakery ever! Amazing Coffee amazing Croissants and always lovely service. Sometimes the queue is long but it’s always worth the wait.

Lovely local bakery. People queue early morning to grab their specialities. Serve fresh handcrafted pastries trying some today can definitely recommend them.

After hearing good reviews about this place I decided to go today with my daughter to have a look at the cakes. When entering the shop the shop assistant was very abrupt and asked rudely for us to wait outside. Whilst I appreciate the bakery waiting area was very small the shop assistant however could have been alot more polite. Having been spoken to in this manner I decided to leave and will definitely not be returning. You need to train your staff to offer better customer service!!

I did read good reviews about this place...so today I thought I would go and have a look with my daughter. When entering the shop the shop assistant was very rude and abruptly asked us to wait outside whilst she was serving another customer. I appreciate the shop waiting area was very small, however the shop asst could have asked in a better manner and tone Due to the poor service decided not to make a purchase and will not visit again. There are other bakeries in the area which offer similar food of equal quality You need to train your staff !

Genuinely the best bakery I've ever been to, I'm grateful I don't live locally or I'd be a lot fatter

I look forward to visiting once a week the selection of pastries and cakes are amazing and service is quick with a smile Thank you a gem to visit if you are in the area

We went later in the day , not much left, very popular , and had the hazel nut brownies and they were the best brownies I have ever had I think I won’t be able to eat a different brownie from now on, will have to go back earlier in the day to try other items 😍

The Tiny Bakery is a lil gem in Leicester and I absolutely love purchasing their monthly croissants, pastries and hot drinks. I have never been disappointed with their customer service, staff are always friendly and welcoming. Please note there may be a long queue however it's definitely worth the wait

Everything at The Tiny Bakery is beautifully crafted and delicious but we are big fans of their sourdough bread. We cant wait to try more of their creations!!!

I have eaten many baked goods in my lifetime, but this bakery takes first prize for both best sweet treats and savoury snacks in the country. As this place is in high demand i suggest coming to ensure you get to browse their varied selection before its gone!

Always busy. But the service is great....bread and pastries to die for....coffee is great and fresh OJ. More importantly the staff are ace.

We have been coming here since the shop opened and I must say everything I have had from here has been delicious. The food is good for what you can get in Leicester and it is convenient as we live nearby. Everyone is really friendly at the shop which is great but sometimes you are pressured to quickly get what you want as there is always a massive queue and the shop itself is tiny. There is on street parking if you are lucky. The only downside I would say it is very very pricey, I do get “ you get what you pay for “ but it is very expensive and could be a bit cheaper with them still making profit, especially in times like these.

Bought a seeeded sourdough from here and only realised when I got home it was very burnt on the top and the bottom and extremely hard. Expect better when you’re paying nearly 5 quid for a loaf of bread

Lovely range of incredible bakes, great vegan options

Fantastic coffee and a gorgeous peanut butter and chocolate flapjack..

I literally can't stop going back.....the best coffee I've had in Leicester and the pastries are life changing

This place has been on my list for ages I just haven't had the chance to go as its completely on the other side from where I live. Finally I got a chance today and all I can say is that it dis not disappoint. The croissant are absolutely delicious! Honestly best in Leicester. My kids enjoyed their treats too. I cannot wait to visit again. Now I understand why there are always queues for this place...

Amazing staff, such good energy and all had a smile on their face :) I had 2 deserts and both were fantastic. There is parking on the street too which made it easier. I want to go back and try their sourdough bread as i have heard good things.

I visited The Tiny Bakery almost by chance and if any business has a large queue, either they’ve paid those people (joke) or it’s damn good! Well I stayed in the queue and I can confirm that it most certainly is the latter - they’re DAMN good! This lovely little treasure trove has a variety of delicious cakes and pastries both non-vegan AND vegan! I bought some peanut butter and chocolate VEGAN flapjacks as well as a coconut hot chocolate and they were delicious! The service was friendly and with a smile and we will be back for more ASAP! Keep up the fantastic work.

Almond scones are quite addictive 😀 I love the atmosphere there, and you can feel they do put a lot of heart and effort into making sure every single product will meet the customer's expectations 😀

Cheesecake croissant is in my top 3 tinyB pastries ever to have been swooned upon/ eaten. Lemon curd/ cream cheese and biscuit crumb, topped with a ginger biscuit. It does NOT get any better than this. To think it was only available for two days- how many must have missed out on this beauty!

Great tasting coffee, competitive prices for the area (especially with student discount). Obviously they get the character points aswell due to the size/general vibe of the place, very well run spot and I will be coming back again soon.

Lovely little spot with a great variety of bakes.

Brilliant bakery, the best croissants and pan au chocolats around!

Beautiful bakery and high quality.

This tiny bakery amazes you with its super delicious breads, croissants, brownies & tarts! You can appreciate the love & care with which the products are made. I enjoyed their almond croissant, hazelnut Brownie & sourdough bread! Surely the best place for lovely bakes in Leicester!

By far the best pastries and tarts and bakery in general in Leicester and the new flavours being regular is such an amazing quirk

Amazing selection of super tasty baked goods, always a queue which lets you know just how good this place is!

It was disappointing having taken two buses to get to the Tiny Bakery for some sourdough bread that, although the shop said it was open, there was no bread and no coffee and no servers to be seen. In fact, the door was locked and this was at about 10 o’clock on a Wednesday morning. To be charitable perhaps somebody was ill, but a note to this effect would’ve been helpful on the door.

I came in quite late so only got a vegetarian savoury (most cakes were still available), I loved it! The flakey salt was a great touch too. I must try and be earlier to try the other goodies Edit: added picture of one of the seasonal treats they offer, pistachio creme pat inside was wonderful.

The best almond croissant I've ever had 10 out of 10. I was a little surprised on why people queue up outside, but after trying the croissant it made sense. Go and give it a try!

They bake the most fantastic sourdough bread that will make THE best toast you ever had - crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside. This poppy seeded version is a thing of beauty... Nice coffee too.

I will cry if this place ever closes.

A little gem of a bakery. Excellent croissants (better than we've had in France) and pastries. Well worth a visit

Unreal, Fresh, Simply delicious.... chefs kiss x 10

The variety of produce available at The Tiny Bakery was stunning and worth waiting for. The staff were well organised and had thought through all aspects of the buyer. Looking forward to going back very soon.

Fresh & delicious. One of Leicesters best little bakeries! Very impressed

Brilliant little bakery that produces the most enormous croissants, Danishes, pain aux raisin and other terrific goodies. Excellent coffee too, and great prices. Highly recommended.

I'm always after nice places for some breakfast, and this is one of the best I've come across in Leicester. 100% recommend and will be back!

Thanks guys, really appreciate the service and the products.

It took me 30 minutes to get to the bakery only to find out that they don’t take cash payments only card. I don’t pay by card so I was thoroughly disappointed and really wanted to try some of their goods which looked delicious. I hope they can accommodate other service users by allowing cash payments in the future. :(

Excellent bakery with excellent service its what you expect not gonna lie

Wonderful independent takeaway bakery. Really is tiny and there is often a queue but it does move quickly and the cakes and pastries are fabulous. In addition to amazing bakes the coffee is also good and the owner/manager is always kind and helpful. One of our favourite places!

Best chocolate cup cakes ever! The fact they are vegan is just a bonus!

I don't really understand the Tiny Bakery, they're only ever open for a few hours a day and you can only take away but they are simply unmatched when it comes to cakes and pastries. 10/10, 11/10. I've never had to queue but I've seen the queues and they are well deserved.

Absolutely beautiful freshly made scones, cakes, and bakes served by lovely people

A highlight of the Clarendon park area. Top notch bakery whatever you get here. From sweet to savoury treats, you will not be disappointed. My personal favourite is the cheese swirl. 👍🏾

Top notch pastries. So much choice I wanted to order it all. Went for the chocolate, hazelnut brioche loaf, pain au chocolate, and chocolate twist in the end. All amazing. They also do cakes, bread, and coffee as well. They aren't open on Sunday, so worth stocking up for the weekend on Friday or Saturday. Take-away only. It is a really tiny unit they are operating out of.

I travelled from Essex to Leicester for this destination, the shop it truly tiny and the opening hours are actually true as in Google. Unfortunately to the traffic yesterday I got a little late to this destination to find out not much was left , and the matcha croissant I got was rock hard and not really any exiting taste to it. I visited today again before travelling back to Essex and there was so many items today and I managed to get a few bits for my journey back. The almond croissant is fairly fresh and tasty the rest I didn't particularly enjoyed but thats to my own preference not their fault.

Slightly overpriced but good products. The white chocolate and pistachio croissant is so delicious! Lovely little place. I will definitely be stopping by again!

Amazing selection of pastries, I also really love that they change the pastries often and have different themes, I am always excited to see what will be next! Must visit if you are in Leicester.

We decided to visit this little bakery due to the reviews and it did not disappoint! We were overwhelmed by the choice of delicious and unique flavoured pastries. Highly recommend if you fancy a nice treat for your breakfast! Just remember to come early as it can get very busy

"The perfect little bakery". Had no idea I'd been past here so many times and hadn't tried anything. They have absolutely incredibly things which all taste amazing and yet the price is not extortionate like bakeries can be sometimes. Will defiently be coming here regularly!

The sourdough is amazing as is everything else, including the coffee.

Tiny but tasty! The selection of pastries and cakes I picked up went down a treat, I'd definitely recommend a visit!

Just had coffee and pastries from this little bakery and the pastries were the best ever. Is not really local we will definitely return.

The best brownie I ever tasted and the people were so nice and welcoming

You know this bakery is the real deal when you have queues 8am first thing on a Saturday morning! Expect to find all sorts of baked goods you wouldn't see at your typical bakery, with flavours perfect for any persons liking. Favourite was the Almond Croissant, extremely soft with a scrumptious almond filling this has to be one of the top bakeries in Leicester.

Love all their pastries and treats! Great coffee! Just really wish they still opened on Mondays!

Delicious baked products. Great coffee too, all to take away.

A tiny place (obviously lol) and often a queue outside, however the quality of products is outstanding, the flavours are very interesting, the portion sizes are good so considering all this the pricing is very fair. As an avid baker myself I understand how much work and good quality ingredients are needed to produce good bakes. Highly recommend the lemon and poppy seed danish. I will definitely be returning to try out many other items.

A must visit if you’re looking for something yummy. We picked up a Christmas Yule log made to order and a few pastries for breakfast on collection! Local business freshly baked produce tasted amazing, don’t miss out, thanks guys, we’ll be back soon!

Good products despite them being slightly overpriced. Service skills could be improved as we have always felt rushed .

Fantastic coffee, croissants and fresh orange juice. Absolutely lovely staff! The queues out the door tell you everything you need to know. Very happy to regularly support such a fantastic local business

The best pastries and coffee in leicester 😁. They sell out really fast which just shows how nice they are. My go to place every morning and i live 30minutes away.

We love The Tiny Bakery. We drive from Whetstone especially. Ofcourse we get there early to avoid dissapointment as they always have a que out of the door. Great cakes and bakes ❤

Freshly made, get there early otherwise will run out. Best bakery in Leicester in my opinion.

Delicious pastries - a pain au chocolate that was practically the size of my hand! Everything we tried was yummy, so will definitely be back!

So I just moved to Leicester and I am very fortunate that The Tiny Bakery is in my neighbourhood! Everything I have gotten here has not disappointed. Their croissants are amazing, and have such interesting flavours! If you get a chance to try a pumpkin spice croissant, it’s a serious must! They’re stuffed with pumpkin filling that tastes exactly like pumpkin pie but leans a bit closer to a cream. They’re unreal. The cracked pepper croissant is also phenomenal, their vegan treats cannot be paralleled— so tasty (particularly the cherry, chocolate ganache croissant and some peanut butter dolly bar(?)) I feel like I could go on. I’m embarrassed to say I’ve only been here a week, and tried all of these treats but to be fair, everyday I’ve tried something different with my morning coffee/tea, because I’m excited to see what sounds good next! If you’re looking for a fresh loaf of sourdough, they’re also worth the stop. The crust is perfect and the flavour is well balanced. The bakery is run by wonderful staff who are very warm and inviting to the neighbourhood. This is made clear by the steady traffic, in and out of the bakery. While there are sometimes a few people waiting, don’t be deterred, the line moves so quickly and it is truly a testament to the bakery being a daily staple for many.

For a tiny bakery, it is very popular. Plenty of parking nearby, fresh drinks, breads and cakes/pastries. Staff are friendly, service was quick.

That's definetly the best bakery in Lei!

This is going to sound like an exaggeration but I promise it's not. I got an oat milk cappuccino and it was the best coffee I've ever had, delicious!

Was visiting Leicester the other day and came around to this place, incredible and atmospheric!

The Tiny Bakery is a gem within the Clarendon Park area of Leicester. It's literally a tiny bakery! The staff are amazing so you'll get a lovely customer service experience. They bake a while plethora of amazingly baked goods to satisfy both a sweet tooth and those that prefer savory goods. As well as the usual baked goods you'd expect from a bakery these guys offer unique twists and innovative flavour offerings. Including croissants filled with sun dried tomato hummus, pear Bakewell, chocolate peppermint croissants and freshly baked sourdough loafs the list is too big to mention! My advice is to go as early as possible so as to not be disappointed. However if you still go late, you won't be disappointed with the 'leftovers'. Most definitely worth a try. You won't be disappointed!

A lovely independent bakery, literally filled to the rafters with the best looking cake display you could imagine. I had a lovely latte and a calorific, peanut butter and chocolate flapjack(it’s okay I’m cycling this weekend). Great products, lovely staff and good service. The independent shops are a bit pricier than the big corporate ones, but there’s no comparison in freshness and flavour for a few pennies more. Walk past Costa and go here instead.

I do love the products yet feel they are expensive ( I travel extensively for work and only purchase from bakeries ) comparing to so many other places. Before and after the lockdown I still get the same sensation that I am always being rushed, I do understand it is a small place and at times others are waiting but it does make me feel uneasy. Delighted to see more vegan options.

As the name says, it’s very tiny but very cozy. Product wise has very good quality. I managed to buy once. And it’s worth for the product, really good and tasty. Staff is not very friendly. I understand that they have reduced hours (9-1) in which everybody works at this time. Apart from that, maybe I’ve just been unlucky, everytime I try to stop by to buy things they are either closer or on annual leave, so it’s a bit complicated to get hold of them. From the inumerous times I tried to buy, I was just successfully once. Make sure you have a second place to buy as well so you don’t get out of your house in vain.

Friendly and the best pastries around!

Tiny bakery has the best pastry in Leicester by far. The reason it isn't 5/5: Service and products vary heavily and often I come in 9.30am to find the shop almost baren. I have to cycle 20mins to get there and its a bit annoying when I got to pick the scraps/ things I didn't want originally. When you go early I often feel quite pressured to get in and out due to the ques early morning, its not great customer service, understanding the circumstances but having a rotation of products at different times would be nice. Another issue was the creme brulee pastry. It was delicious but the caramel was half an inch thick! My chefs knife couldn't break it and had to use my hammer. Needless to say it was a bit unpalatable
