Thomas the Baker in East Riding of Yorkshire

I don’t often go into bakery shops but we were visiting Driffield today and spotted that there was a small seating area inside at the front of the shop and a larger area further in. We were ready for coffee and a snack The shop is obviously very popular as I had to join the queue but it gave me the opportunity to look at what was on offer. Vastly superior quality to what is available in other chain bakery shops and very well priced. I don’t eat bread but the sandwiches were definitely calling to me!😹

Brilliant . Full of flavour and good value for money. Delish

This is the best bakery chain by far! I don't know why anybody goes elsewhere apart from maybe only as other chains open earlier on a morning. Always top quality fresh food and the best iced fingers! Very friendly staff and great all round.

Popped here for supplies before going to a friend's for lunch (with me bringing lunch). I opted for a favourite - Wensleydale and carrot chutney in a granary bread cake. And a choice of yum yums (who can't resist these) or date and walnut scones. My friend had not had this sandwich before (as there isn't a Thomas' where she lives) and it was a revelation for her. So much so, she decided to go get one the next time she is near one (3 days). And the yum yum just as good as when I used to buy these for my 2 (now grown-up) boys as a treat after school. Lovely products and a nice clean shop with friendly staff! 

Snack and coffee, okay and reasonably priced.

Lovely pasties and sausage rolls for lunch. Friendly staff and good cakes. 👍

Called in here today for some grub. Tasty sandwiches and pastys. Delicious

Really good fresh food, to eat in or take away. No cafe as such, but quite a big seating area to enjoy a drink and bite to eat.

Can’t recommend this place enough! Food is fresh and high quality, very cheap too! Staff are very friendly and chatty and always helping. Will come back here again!

lovely food and excellent customer service

Great food and great service every time! Helpful and friendly team, a pleasure a visit.

Good coffee. Excellent Eccles cakes, good value. All cakes are always good. Comfy plentiful seating, friendly service

Always excellent choice of food here...from sandwiches, hot and cold, to sweet treats, pastries and bread. My favourite sandwich at the moment is the wensleydale cheese and carrot chutney...yum! And of course, a date and walnut scone! Yum!

Love the baked goods here and this time opted for date and walnut scones and scamps still warm from the oven. We were not disappointed. Staff here are great and always helpful and we will be back again for more soon!

Love the driffield shop, food is always perfect at this shop. Its ALWAYS worth the 15 mile journey, unlike the scarborough shop.

Bang goes another Diet. Everything in store is lovely. Fattening and well presented. Covid belly is liking Thomas the Bakers. Shut for a fortnight please. Give my diet a chance. Been on a diet for 10 days. All I have lost is 10 days.keep ip the excellent products. Make your sandwiches less appealing.

I like to come here for fresh bread on a weekend. Love the ciabatta rolls, as well as the soda bread, and other baked treats...scones, vanilla slices, quiches etc. A hit with all the family.

I visited for a cheese & onion pasty there wasnt any , so I looked at the sandwiches there was only meat, I explained I'm vegetarian and could they do me a cheese & onion sandwich her answer was straight blank no I cant I'm only selling the sandwiches in the cabinet?? Short woman glasses not very customer orientated

Great quality products and friendly helpful staff

I cannot fault the choice of cakes here and my favourites are available most days: Yorkshire curd tart, toffee doughnut and vanilla slices. Definitely worth paying a little but extra for! Nice sizes for individual portion and hits the spot every time!

First shop I ventured in since lockdown. Bread cakes ,tea cakes and wonderful rolls. Especially the corned beef rolls . Really delicious. Also the curd cheese pies . To die for.

During lockdown, one of the few places that you can get a drink for on the go. Like coming here for a weekend baked treat...date and walnut scones are a must! And if we have been out for a while, our last stop before going home, so can enjoy a hot drink. Staff are great and social distancing being adhered to.

Black pudding may not be to your liking, but do try the Black pudding sausage roll. Pitty they didn't do chips, but then if you had chips there wouldn't room for a slice of cake

Then look no further than here. Good selection of product and at a reasonable price too. Today was tea cakes and gingers biscuits. Friendly staff and nice shop...it is what keeps me coming back.

On a cold wet day, my husband and I decided to stop for a cup of tea. Saw people ordering bacon sandwiches so thought we would do the same. Didn’t realise there was a £3 deal on. Well the sandwich was one of the best I’ve had in a long time , tasty and soft bread cake . Large tea to go with it. The cafe itself is not very appealing so we sat at the front of the shop.

Treat for saturday lunch for the family. Sausage rolls, yum yums and date and want scones were the order of the day. Great food and great price, and nice to support a local business. Friendly staff too.

Best danish pastries I've ever eaten!

I popped here to grab some bread cakes for lunch and the smell of the scones had me... Hot from the oven, I quickly added the dates and walnut scones to my shopping, as well as the toffee and cream donuts. Good food and pastries... I love the selection available here.

Popped in here for a weekend treat for the kids... Love the date and walnut scones and yum yum and so do the kids. Good value and great food. Always nice to come here for treats.

Stopped off for cakes on the way back from the park to get granddaughter a cake & treat ourselves.lots of choices here with seating inside,good value.

We, my wife and i,m go at least 3 times a week. The Latte is to die for, so i am drinking myself to death? Where else can you get a large Latte and a Bacon Butty for 2.90

I like this place. Clean, fast service, food pretty good too. Toffee muffins OMG they are soooo tasty.

Really enjoy eating inside this bakery, nice comfy and well heated in the cold, food is really nice and love there latte very nice cake selection also and good deals

Thomas is one of my favourite bakers. It opens at 8 am in a morning but I was disappointed when I needed some pasties before work and they was not even cooked. Had to put up with a salad or sandwich

Great bakers with fresh sandwiches and cakes everyday. Wide choice of ready made rolls and sandwiches all at good value prices. This one is located on the main shopping street in Driffield and staff are friendly and happy to serve you.

We have used the shop over the years and have always enjoyed the food available from the shop. And today was no exception : we chose sausage rolls and chicken and stuffing rolls, the award winning batch loaf and the date and walnut scones. Always good and worth checking out if you haven't already done so! Plenty of other delights to temp you, all at a reasonable price.

OK, we went to then one at Beverley, but this was not on TA listings, and still wanted to capture some positive feedback, for what appears to be a small chain of excellent bakeries.

Stopped off at Driffield and as we passed Thomas the Baker we were tempted by the lovely cakes in the window. Great friendly service and good choice especially having savoury items as well as the sweet.

The only dairy free sausage rolls in town ♥️

Great staff, fab bread! Great bacon sandwich and coffee for breakfast with definitely no skimping on the bacon!

Recently refurbished and very nice.
