The Tiny Bakery in Leicester

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 !

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!!

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!

Tiny bakery is one of the best bakery in Leicester. It is a very nice bakery to visit, we recommend it to those who want quality with polite and friendly staff. In short It’s not the size but the secrete lies in the quality they offer. Try it and you won’t regret it.

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 ❤

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

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

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

Fabulous bakery, all baked on site. Superb croissants, cinnamon buns, brownies and sausage rolls. Be prepared to join a lengthy queue on a Saturday morning - shame the size of the premises limit their capacity.

We have been using the Tiny Bakery long enough to have a clear opinion on the quality of the pastries and cakes, which is simply excellent! Either sour or sweet, whatever you get will taste great! Also, the guys running the shop are kind and friendly with a smile on their faces!

Tiny Bakery produces some of the best tasting pastries here in Leicester. They’re open from 9-1, but it is normal for them to sell out of popular pastries 20 minutes after opening. This, on top of them stopping pre-orders, has been quite frustrating. I have discussed this with numerous other individuals who enjoy their pastries, and we all agree that it doesn’t make sense to not produce more pastries (particularly of those that sell out so quickly), and continue putting new ones in the display throughout the day. The fact that there is little to no pastries left an hour, or even when arriving at 9:20, has not lead to us coming right when they open, but instead has lead us to not want to shop there at all. Individuals having to queue for almost half an hour on Saturdays, of which a few had already voiced their dissatisfaction for the lack of management and capacities, will in long term not lead to increased business but dissatisfied customers.

They always have a delicious range of treats, which change often. Always friendly and welcoming too.

Friends of ours discovered this absolute gem , the pastries are sensational, really friendly staff . One issue ..they just don’t make enough !!!!

Liaised with the bakery with regards to a small 6inch cake order- a month prior to requiring the cake for a birthday. Linzi Abraham from the bakery took 3 days to return our message and only responded when we chased for a response, and unfortunately gave a rather blunt response: "Hi.Thank you for your enquiry. Unfortunately we are fully booked with cake orders that week. Many apologies.Thank you, The Tiny Bakery." I doubt they are fully booked with orders for that week. We have ordered plenty of cakes from various bakeries in the past (including Violet Bakery in London, the royal wedding cake makers) and have never been told that a month lead time for a tiny 6inch cake is insufficient notice! Will not be returning.

I went in just for a coffee came out with a almond croissant and a coffee croissant, oh my word hands down the best pastry I have ever tasted. You can so taste the freshness in the bakes. Lovely staff, service with a smile. Been back three times already. It truly is a highlight especially in such times.

Delicious, friendly, good value

I love this place! It's been my Saturday morning guilty pleasure this year and one of the highlights of the week during a challenging 2020. Up there with the best tasting coffee in the city and the bakes and bread are all incredible!

Pastries, bakes and bread amazing as always and totally worth the queue on a Saturday morning !!

The pastries here are lovely, and are great quality. I love passing by on a weekend and picking up a treat!

Every single thing be it bread, biscuits, cakes or pastries is absolutely incredible

This locally run baker is a shining star in Leicester. The quality of the food is unbelievable. Harrod's quality and High St prices. The almond croissants are light and flaky with huge almond flavour. The meat sausage rolls use locally sourced meat and are crafted with care. Once you taste one of these sausage rolls, you won't want to try any others. The staff are cheerful and personable, offering excellent service. No wonder many return for their regular!

Great local bakery that does very good coffee

Top Quality Food and Coffee 5 Star

Been waiting since Saturday to get coffee from here as reviews are good. Finally got it. Unfortunately the coffee is bad. Asked for a Oat Wet Latte which came quite plain and very watery taste. It does not compare to many other independent local coffee shops that I visit back in London where I live. For a local coffee shop with such rating, the coffee should have been outstanding. I gave 3 stars because the lady that took my order & payment was very kind. Unfortunately I only took 3 sips from the coffee, forcing myself to kinda like it, but no. I had to bin it and go back home to make my own oat latte. At this point, cannot believe I say such thing but Starbucks would be better. This feedback is purely based on the coffee that I have got from this place.

Nice to know that there is a bakery right down the street. An added plus that it has great tasting bread and pastries

Totally amazing cakes and pastries

Astonishingly good cakes. Almond croissants and chocolate twists in particular.

My first experience eating a scone was there, and I loved it! <3 They have lots of beautiful delicious pastries and savories! I'll return there to try more!

Excellent cheese and marmite twists
