The Ugly Bread Bakery in Nottingham

Absolutely delicious sandwiches. Lovely fresh ingredients. Generous portions. Great value. And the best hot chocolate ever!

Absolutely no Gluten free cake options! Great disappointment so needed to look elsewhere. Cannot comment further as we did not stay.

Excellent from the minute that we entered to the minute that we left. Great food and coffee and such friendly and efficient staff.

Excellent sandwich, a few tables in side but we had ours to takeout. Hot and delicious. Cakes look amazing too. Will be going back for one soon

Excellent food, best pizza, thin crispy lightly baked dough with fresh ingredients just how it should be. Caters for all tummies and alergies and also dog friendly. The bakery is also soo good focccia and canolis. Good value for money and great service will defo be back

Great service and lovely food. We used a Groupon and I would have paid full price. The focaccia sandwiches were moist and tasty and the brownie had a great hot of chocolate. Great service and happy staff.

Had a whole pizza come with a topping containing an allergen for me (COMPLETELY MY FAULT!) and when I queried it they immediately offered to remake it free of charge. What a brilliant thing to do. The pizza BTW was amazing! Thank you UglyBread!

A really filling, tasty and interesting alternative to a fry-up. Fresh ingredients, friendly service and nicely-priced 😁 We recommend the Sausage and Stilton Foccacia and the Feta/Sun-dried tomato Mezzalunas

We used a Groupon deal for a focaccia, cake and hot drink and we were very impressed. Delicious food and pleasant friendly service. Will return for sure.

Wonderful hearty food with great service and a nice atmosphere, highly recommend for on the go or eating in. Also great deals on food everyday

I frequently use Ugly Bread ..... really love the coffee and choice/quality of the food is awesome. The staff work hard and are very friendly

Had lunch here today. Cosy little cafe. Lovely hot coffee and great food. We've been to too many cafes and come away feeling ripped off, not this one. We'll definitely be back.

Enjoyed the visit and food , tasty well priced , freshly done. We sat inside slightly noisy and the area could have done with some updates.

Nice outdoor seating and good sandwiches. Lots of vegan choices. Pizza and cakes available too and the hot chocolate was good.

My cousin and I just happened to be walking past here when I was visiting Nottingham, and thought the sandwiches looked too good to pass up. We took advantage of the outdoor seating area and I ordered a cheese and tomato toasted flatbread which came with salad, bottled flavoured water, and a cherry & almond muffin. All of the food tasted great. They were taking part in the Eat Out to Help Out scheme so overall it costed me £3.90. Would definitely return on my next visit to Nottingham.

We ordered the Pizza Kit whilst in Lockdown for the 2nd time! Wow couldn’t recommend this enough this kids actually loved making there own pizzas with the stress taken away from me. We had a nice family evening with wine for the adults and had so much fun we completely forgot we were in lockdown can’t wait to use up our next pack Thank you xx

I ordered the home pizza kit, the pizza sauce is divine, there’s plenty of ingredients, everything is fresh and taste amazing.

Pedí un kit para hacer pizza durante este encierro. Fue increíble. 45 y fue una excelente relación calidad-precio. Sabe mejor que cualquier pizza de supermercado. También pedí bolas de masa adicionales con mi pedido y funcionaron de maravilla en mi horno de pizza al aire libre. ¡Ordenaré nuevamente en dos semanas! Bien hecho chicos por una gran iniciativa.

Así que este lugar fue muy recomendable y wow estuvo a la altura de las expectativas.El servicio fue excelente, el café excelente, el personal servicial y amable, pero la comida era de otro nivel, absolutamente excelente.Este es uno de esos pequeños lugares verdaderamente emocionantes que ocasionalmente encuentras que lo están haciendo no solo bien, sino muy bienCaza, no te decepcionará

Imagina mi deleite porque amo a Ugly Bread porque cuando asistía a una boda de amigos habían usado pan feo para atender y, para ser sincero, la comida era al menos tan buena como la cafetería, si no incluso mejor.Mis días de boda han terminado, pero si lo hiciera, ¡sé a quién pedirá que atienda! !

Ugly Bread Bakery es una compañía fantástica que es muy emocionante visitar debido a su encantadora hospitalidad y las variedades de alimentos que extraen sabores completos y son únicos y especiales.Siempre amamos nuestra visita y esperamos que más personas visiten y ayuden a que esta compañía sea más famosa.Merece tener más establecimientos alrededor de Greater Nottingham y funcionaría en las ciudades más grandes de Londres, Manchester, Birmingham y Glasgow.

Visited on a Sunday afternoon with friends for a coffee and a cake. The chocolate brownies were out of this world and melted in your mouth. Coffee was really good too. You should stop by if you're in the lace market area of Nottingham. The girls serving were really helpful and friendly too.

Stopped by after a visit to the national justice museum and was extremely impressed. Friendly warm and approachable staff ; excellent mouthwatering cake and hot freshly brewed gourmet coffee . Very good value for money too. Definitely one to visit

One of the ladies doesn’t speak English however the sandwiches are delicious and they stay open late - fab after a skinful on a Thursday. The sizes are huge too and loads for veggies.

Slightly disappointed that they didn't have any breakfast food left when I arrived, however me and my friends still enjoyed the food which tasted very fresh.

Very sad to find a place stating it was a bakery yet the food on offer didn’t taste that fresh or wholesome in the slightest

Went in and collected several platers for a large business meeting in Nottingham. Their outside catering is a 5 star service - great choice, beautifully presented and so many compliments on how good the food tasted. The staff were so easy to work with and made it very stress free. Won’t be going anywhere else in future. Thank you ugly bread bakery!

Quality settings, make sure you eat outside, the pizza was loaded with ingredients, the almond milk porridge has creamy flavour with a complimenting assortment of fruits. You get your moneys worth.

Literally had the most scrumptious panini ever in here, with heavenly gooey cheese oozing out the sides. To die for.

It’s the first time I have revisited ugly bread since it’s move from across the street. Me and the family found the new place very warm and welcoming. The seating was rearranged to accommodate us all. The food was fresh and the service was spot on. We would definitely recommend this place for a quick snack or a hearty meal with delicious local produce and the freshest of breads. The garlic butter is also a new fav of mine. :)))

Haven’t been since they moved from their shop at the top of Hockley. Went in and enjoyed a beautiful bowl of porridge which was decorated with fruits and honey. It really was tasty and filling. It also came with a cup of tea.

Called in today for a bite to eat, and we weren’t disappointed. The food tasted superb, and was cooked fresh. The staff were really friendly too. One hundred percent recommend.

Jade was a great host and very accommodating, really good with the kids, food was great, very clean and would recommend to anyone thinking of either eating there or wanting a different sort of childs party. A new family favourite

You pick your choice of freshly prepared pizzas, sandwiches, filled pittas which are then popped in an oven for 5-10mins to cook through. I had chorizo and mozzarella and it was fab!

Called in for a bit of lunch. Absolutely fantastic grilled sandwiches!!!! Stilton mushroom and spinach - sooooo tasty! Med veg and brie I'm assured was awesome too! Lovely friendly staff. So pleased we discovered it, we'll be back next time we are in Nottingham!

Whilst shopping with my Daughter recently around the City Centre,we ventured towards a place we had frequented before,only to notice that it had closed from its Initial place and relocated further down the road on the opposite side,albeit it under different signage.Feeling quite peckish and wanting to rest our weary feet,we went inside and ordered the Breakfast in a Ciabatta,which consisted of Bacon and Sausage,and came with side salad and a Nice Mug of Tea.Feeling quite Cold and Tired from trailing around the Shops,the Mug of Hot Tea was more than Welcome.The Ciabatta was quite a decent size too,and with a dash of Brown Sauce for good measure,it was well appreciated.The Cost including the Mug of Tea or Coffee came to £4.50p, which we both thought to be reasonable, although the Breads on view that were on offer,can be a touch expensive,yet Nice and Fresh,so I suppose you get what you pay for.Good place to have a nice Breakfast Sandwich in fresh Tasty Bread,with a Hot Drink included.

We had a voucher for afternoon tea and struggled to find it due to lack of signage now that name has changed. Ultimately, we were really disappointed. The service was lack lustre and the staff did not seem interested. They did not check on us to offer more drinks, or clear up. G was relatively busy, but still time to attend to customers. The afternoon tea was disappointing. Sandwiches were really nice, but cakes were sub standard - poor quality flapjack and rocky road compared with scones and canoli on promotional images.

When the old shop shut down a few weeks ago I was gutted but lucky me. They’ve only gone and reopened 100 yards from where I live

First time of visiting here thanks to a voucher that my friend had bought, we both had a flatbread, hot drink + cake included in the deal which was very tasty indeed! The staff were really friendly + helpful, would definitely go again!

Wonderful food at a reasonable price. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the produce. The staff were extremely helpful

Just had the most amazing afternoon tea. Beautiful tastes and excellent staff. Will be visiting again soon.

Went here on friday night with my gluten free pal, checked ahead via facebook if they had GF options and reserved a table (very friendly and quick responses via facebook!) they do a gluten free pizza base that they buy in, but it is prepared where the gluten is FYI. My gluten free friend absolutely loved it as she never gets to have a decent pizza. We shared the antipasti board and the gluten free pizza, both excellent. The antipasti board a bit of a random mix of meats, smoked cheese, stilton and loads of salad and a bowl of olives with some warm bread- which actually was a nice surprise, though could have done with some sort of dressing or oil and vinegar dipping bowl for the bread, or maybe some butter? The pizza was lovely, plenty of toppings, really nice tomato sauce and served piping hot. Prices were surprisingly cheap and service was excellent, a very nice relaxed atmosphere and we got given some 2 for 1 vouchers to use next time too, we will definitely go ahead, the lunch sandwiches looked delicious. What a nice place.

My husband and I visited this restaurant for a quick lunch. We both had pizza with different toppings. They were extremely delicious the tomato sauce was so good. I only have a couple of comments. The metal cutlery was a very thin metal so when you use it unfortunately it hurts your hands, also I recommend not to set at the table by the door at the bottom of the stairs, it’s a bit chilly in the winter. Apart from those small problems we thought it was a great place with friendly staff and yummy food. I will definitely return

Visited today to buy a garlic bread to eat at home with a lasagne, as thought be better than shop bought one.

Bit of and odd place, but not in a bad way. The girls behind the counter were lovely and had prepared lots of pizzas for the lunch rush!

I’ve been many times to Ugly Bread, great sandwiches, good value pizza.

Yesterday was a busy time for all of the surrounding area and as I wanted the best pizza around I was quite happy to queue for it

Needed some food and a drink so though we would try it out. The staff were unfriendly. We had pizzas and they were sickly. I think they were the worst we have tasted. The Latte didn't taste like any latte I have tasted before? The decor of the place needed updating. I don't think we will be returning.

I’ve walked past this place lots of times but never ventured in until now !

Ate lunch there - food actually tasted quite nice, but the overall experience wasn’t great.

Su and I walk past this place thrice and the name was pretty catchy. When we got in we were fascinated by the amount of thought that’s been invested on the sourdough sandwiches and the pizza categories. We ordered a Parma, chicken and chorizo pizza (was less cheesy with a kick of sourdough) with salad and a Parma and cheese sourdough!

Came to ugly bread bakery in hockley and just enjoyed two amazing salads with a friend. He had the salmon salad and it was beautiful and such a generous portion

I love going for a daily coffee here. I wish they were open at night! That’s the only reason why I have knocked a star off but I do joke to staff about this. The only food I have tried is the mezzalunas which taste amazing but I am a creature of habit. I will try your pizzas soon.....

Visited today for breakfast as we had seen the place the last time we were in town. It had to be the worst poached eggs we had ever had. The toast wasn’t toasted and the orange cake really dry but the coffee was nice. Only one of the staff was friendly. The place lacked atmosphere and warmth. Sadly we won’t be going back.

Popped in for a quick bite before heading back to work. Despite coming 30 minutes before they closed, owner Jade was more than happy to sort food for me and chat about the place. Super interesting, great food, wonderful for veggies and vegans and anyone else. Can’t recommend this place enough for a big meal with friends or a quick pit stop bite. What a great place! And special thanks to Jade for chatting to me and being so lovely.

They had a variety of sandwiches and pizzas . The coffee was nice as well , however the fruit juice was not tasty. Nice view from the 1st floor . A little bit overpriced.

Love it here. Very authentic and delicious pizzas. There's a nice seating area upstairs overlookimg the street. Coffee made properly and staff/owners really friendly. They also do a great student offer which my partner took advantage of. Well priced. Will return!

The base of the pizza was pre- cooked so the topping doesn’t stay on, it slides off. There was too much tomato sauce, it was very disappointing since everything inside looks delicious.

I regularly go to Ugly Bread Bakery for a tasty Mezzaluna, sweet treat or coffee. The food is fresh and tasty and the staff and very friendly and helpful. The food is very good value and always made to include exactly what you want. Great place and would recommend grabbing lunch here to everyone!

I decided to make trip advisor to write a review due to how amazing our experience was here. We aren’t local to Nottingham and we came down to visit for the day and came across this quirky cafe that we decided to give a try - a good decision that it was! As soon as we walked in the staff asked if we was ok and if we have been here before we stated that we was not from Nottingham and they began to explain what they had to offer with all sourdough based products such as sandwiches that had a variety of meat and vegetarian options, pizzas being as cheap as £3, fresh salads, brownies, Italian cakes and much more. We ordered a mixed salad which was mixed leaves filled with a range of fresh colourful vegetables and two foccicias one goats cheese and Brie and a pastarmi and Stilton which both came with mixed leaves on the side - the sandwiches were perfect with the right amount of cheese meat and vegetables while the bread itself tasted as good as it looks - soft and fresh! All together including soft drinks and cakes it came up to just under £20! When our food arrived the staff asked with a smile if we would like any other condiments such as napkins and sauces with our meal and every so often the staff would ask if everything was ok with our meal - great service and food I will defiantly be returning and would highly recommend!

Stopped here while shopping for a late lunch - excellent value for money, and really nice food. My wife and daughter shared a lovely fresh pizza, and I had a generously filled mezzalunna. The only slight negative was that my cup of tea was quite small - for the price I would expected either a small pot or a larger cup. Other than that, couldn't fault it, and we will be back. Just bear in mind they don't serve pizza until after 3pm.

I have extremely mixed feelings about this. A young girl at front of house.,so to speak, was polite and very very busy, but she would be as her work colleague was not so. Any excuse to leave her work station, this resulted in her enthusiasm to create pizzas. I ordered 2.The courgette pizza was so sparse it didn't Warrent being called that. Plus the courgette was on one 1/4of a 12".The same for the sun dried tomato and olive, 4olives,1sun dried tomato, on yet another 12"pizza.No effort was made to replenish the stock, in which I may have had the dregs!! Like I said a very busy front of house assistant, but she would be, she was carrying, her ever disappearing colleague.

Went in for a quick sandwich. The sandwiches on offer look as if they have been there a long time but might be fresh, we decided to give it a go anyway. My son doesn't like spinach and asked for one without spinach, they said they could not make fresh ones but could take off spinach off which is not acceptable.He is autistic and very mild mannered but was very upset. We walked out so the cafe lost about £30 worth of order because they can't make a fresh sandwich . Very poor service.

The pizzas here are tasty and the service is friendly. They have a good range of sandwiches, pizzas and drinks all at very reasonable prices. I would definitely recommend.

I recently visited The Ugly Bread Bakery and ordered a fruit tea and pizza - pizza was yummy. I was charged £1.80 for the tea to see that the box was Knightsbridge which is a tea from Lidl for £0.75 for a box of 40. I can't believe the margin they are making on that and it's not amazing quality tea either. For me this really disappointed my visit as I felt robbed. I would consider at least servings Twinings for that price.

just idly wandering and came upon this delightful little cafe. Lovely day and found a table outside in the sun so unable to comment on the inside seating other than it looked inviting. Very friendly and helpful staff. Cordoned off seating area in a busy square but very relaxing just watching the world go by. Opted for coffee and a caramel brownie, healthier options available including some large tasty looking sandwiches. A very satisfying hour spent watching the world in all its guises go by.

Inside it’s quite cosy but surprisingly has a good amount of seating over 3 floors.

There is a wide choice to eat. But, there is one fault and that is the length of time it takes to process an order. The system is that the customer queues to select and order the food and then proceeds to payment. The cashier also prepares the drinks and this leads to a bottleneck especially if there is a customer incapable of making a decision on what tea to have.

I’ve been walking past this place forever and today’s the day I finally tried it out. First thing I notice is the sheer amount of choice, plenty of options for both breads and pizzas so it did take us a minute to choose but the lady who served us was very friendly anyway. I went for a spinach, salami and pepper focaccia and my girlfriend a cheese and cured meat slightly smaller option. These, combined with crisps and a couple of drinks came to about £16 so relatively cheap for a quick lunch. We then proceeded upstairs while we waited for our food to be heated and had a look around. Upstairs is like 2 separate rooms, the whole decor has a really cool vibe, very chilled. We picked a big table in the “library” room, and I think were the only two upstairs, and were both happy that there were multiple board games on offer. We did have to move some old plates which was a little annoying considering there were about 1,000 members of staff downstairs but either way we started to set up our game. Before we had even finished reading the rules our choices arrived, accompanied by what was possibly the worst “side salad” I’ve ever seen, a few limp bits of lettuce that is. The main meal was absolutely lovely although my girlfriend wasn’t overly keen about the huge difference in portion size as she had loads less than me. We did also both notice rather a small amount of meat on our sandwiches but the bread and the cheese was absolutely excellent so it was forgiven. I also dunno what brand of crisps they were but we were both amazed at how good they were, slightly disconcerting that a packet of crisps stole the show. After dinner we were so chilled that we didn’t want to leave, we sat playing games for a good hour and I have to say in that time no one cleared our plates (maybe that’s something to work on?) All in all though, really good place if you fancy a quick, although admittedly not that quick in our case, bite for lunch.

There should be more places like this. Many is the time I have wanted something between a high end restaurant and Subway. Ugly Bread fills that gap. I had an excellent 9" pizza for £3.

A quirky place serving very nice and well filled foccachia and ciabatta sandwiches. The coffee was great too.

Fabulous anti pasto platter, sourdough pizza and bottle of prosecco for two people all for £25! Enjoyable late afternoon treat-able to relax, unwind and watch the world go by from a window table.

What a gem of a find. Right next to large carpark. Fab service, ambiance - the food is great. Love it. 9” sweet chilli sourdough pizza £5.20, but only £3 weekdays between 3-6. I had a gorgeous brie, cranberry and spinach hot sandwich and two proper mugs of tea! Love the music too!

I've walked past this place hundreds of times but never been in. I don't know why because the display of breads and pizza in the window is amazing.

Great pizzas guys cooked fresh and a great choice. Thumbs up from the kids and they are good critics when it comes to pizza. Will definitely be visiting again soon and will definitely be recommending 😃

wn=ent on a lunch time had a sharing platter, great price and the platter good variety and we both end joyed the variety

Just finished my first pizza at the Pelham Street Ugly Bread and it was just lovely. Delicate sour dough base cooked perfectly topped with simple tomato sauce and garlic. Great lunch time pizza that doesn't leave you needing a sleep afterwards. I have visited this same cafe as well as its sister cafe in Hockley on multiple occasions to eat their Mezzaluna. Great bread with terrifically random Mediterranean filling. I'm still here and am contemplating whether to get one to go and have one for my tea. I urge everyone to visit and try this place as soon as you can, it will improve you

Stopped here for a quick lunch. There seemed to be plenty of choice and it all looked pretty good. I had some kind of massive sandwich with pastrami and around ten other ingredients. The bread was light and crispy on the outside, very nice. I sat outside in the winter sunshine and watched the world go by.

Not my usual Saturday morning breakfast but having stumbled across the Ugly Bread I thought I'd go in. Glad I did. Nice experience. Great wide selection of flat breads , cakes, sour dough and pizzas to eat in, takeaway, hot or cold. Good selection of drinks available. Ordered a hot Greek salad style breast product with coffee. Not usual weekend breakfast! Very nice and good selection. Staff were really welcoming and the place was warm and inviting. Only criticism (if needed) was that the price increase for hot food felt a bit much! Otherwise 5 stars. Good work!

Friendly staff. Plenty of choices. Artisan breads. Nice pizzas. Slightly unusual decor. Worth a visit

Nice enough place but overpriced and uncomfortable seating.Food was good but as I say a tad overpriced.

Actually went to the Market Street venue but couldn’t find it on trip advisor. Had the English breakfast which was reasonably priced. The sausages and mushroom were good, nice tasting and well cooked. The menu said the breakfast came with poached eggs, though the two eggs which turned up were clearly not poached. They were hard and rubbery & I could not eat them. The waitress admitted the eggs were in fact baked in the oven and the menu was misleading in this regard, though had no intention to rectify the situation or make a good will gesture. Admittedly I had high hopes or the toast (being a bakery), particularly being made from fresh good quality bread, but I found the slices tough and I question if it was made from one or two day old bread.

Great Pizza before running an evening event at the NVA & often go when in Notts for a lunch mezze as they do a great selection. The only downside is they say they’re open until 7pm yet they flashed the lights for us to leave at 6:30, so all 3 tables upstairs which were occupied felt compelled to get up and leave please change your opening hours if you want us out! (Please also put them on your homepage on the website as it took me ages to find them on there!)

Excellent smoked salmon pizza! And my husband's king prawn and chilli pizza looked good too...hot though..his eyes were watering..but he was smiling at the same time!! Coffee not so good.

Love it here, the sandwiches and pizzas are fresh and tasty, good coffee and great sourdough to take home too. Lovely selection of artisan italian products to takeaway if you want to take some home.

One of my personal favourites in the hockey area and unlike other comments on here, this place is definitely great value for money. I'm not really sure how it can be 'an expensive lunch' as you get more than you would in Pret but for the same price!!! No poxy sandwiches here! They always have a great selection of homemade focaccia and sour dough sandwiches which are very generous, tasty portions!!

Gave our breakfasts to another table, never mentioned they had made a mistake, food was disappointing anyway; coffee wasn't brilliantly done either, wasn't too expensive though.

I was staying at the nearby Ibis hotel and found the Ugly Bread Bakery whilst looking for somewhere to eat locally.

Walking past Ugly Bread disconsolate after our regular pizza place was closed for refurbishment noticed two for one pizza. Excellent - 9" and 12" so suits different appetites - wine by the glass & a beer. Under £15.

Popped in for lunch on 13th August. We each ordered a £3.50 hot sandwich, which we ate inside. I was suprised at how little filling there was inside mine, I had ordered the cheese and Pepperoni melt. The bread was nice, like a toasted pitta bread. Quite a tasty sandwich despite the sparse filling.

Finally stopped here to have lunch with a friend from work. Great choice and there is seating over two floors. We ordered and took our drinks upstairs and the food was delivered to the table, It is a little pricey for lunch but worth it once in a while.

It's quite overpriced and I think it's pretty overrated for what it is. Good range of sandwiches and breads but expensive for what it is. Nothing stood out for me.

Ugly Bread Bakery did a marvelous job of outside catering for my party. 60 pizzas were delivered fresh, warm and tasting great. Jade from Ugley Bread was really clear in her communication with me and the service was good. I would use them again.

They had a variety of sandwiches and pizzas . The coffee was nice as well , however the fruit juice was not tasty. Nice view from the 1st floor . A little bit overpriced.

This is an ideal place to stop for lunch and to rehydrate when exploring Nottingham. The ambiance is good, the service excellent and the food outstanding for flavour, choice and value. What also stands out us that it is clearly a regular stop for local residents as well as tourists, which I always take to be a good sign. I was so glad to find it.

Visited today and would recommend going here to anyone looking for somewhere for lunch in nottingham. There is a huge choice of fresh food and cakes. They will heat up/toast what you want and bring it over swiftly. Reasonably priced and enough space to relax inside and out.

All the food looked very well displayed hence I ordered. The fillings were fresh but the bread it was in was stale and hard. I paid £8 for it and it all went in the bin.

After finding this hidden gem in the back streets of Nottingham, it has become our regular stop for an amazing priced pizza. The service is very quick and are never waiting for any more than five minutes, so when shopping is your main priority, the Ugly Bread Bakery is PERFECT for a delicious, easy, and most importantly quick lunch.

Stopped in for a bite to eat. Staff were lovely and very helpful. Choose the filling and wait for your mezaluna to be toasted for you.

Nice selection of fresh food, chilled and hot drinks. Healthy and tasty. Great atmosphere and nice care over the aesthetics.
