Thomas the Bakers in York

The food is great, the the worker, Harley, is so so sweet.

Young Lad couldn’t be bothered to do his Job, i asked if I could have pasties in separate bags he huffed and seemed annoyed? I said ‘you seem annoyed?’ To which he didn’t reply. I’m not expecting amazing service but to made to feel like I’m asking for something unreasonable just left me feeling slightly uncomfortable. I’ll go cooplands from now on.

Bought quite a few items from Thomas the baker a few weeks ago. When we arrived home the 2 date and walnut scones were burnt and inedible. Ended up throwing them away. I have emailed them twice and they have completely ignored me. What a waste of money.

Best deal going. Delicious scones and pastries at reasonable prices. Also good sandwiches and meat pies. Had a danish and a fruit scone filled with cream and fresh strawberries for 2.60 BP. We paid 16BP for two coffees two scones with butter and jam.

Sick to death of going in here to find the shelves empty even by 1pm. The staff are pretty good at ignoring you aswell. I use the Easingwold Thomas’ frequently and it is 100% better. Absolute Shambles Tang Hall.

The queues out of the door are testament to how great this bakery shop is. Generously filled delicious sandwiches, gorgeous cakes, and many local delicacies, breads pies and sausage rolls grace their shelves. The ladies in there are excellent, quick to serve and always friendly. A wee bit pricey maybe? But for us we are willing to pay because it’s so darn good. Going for supplies this morning for our long car trip back home! We’ll be back soon! Thank you all.

I have not been here it’s just to say I think their cheese scones available in the high street shops are the best tasting , better than the other pretty famous high street shop with an & in their name ! Theirs are bland and boring , the only negative for Thomas is they are not uniform in the times of baking and some are considered over cooked. , to me !’

Witnessed a group of special needs children from the local school with their TA’s refused a seat because other ‘customers’ would not be able to come in, disgusting behaviour!!!! Lady was rude and vile

Went in to buy a few cakes and ended up with a full bag. The cobs are fresh and delicious and packed with filling and the cakes are some of the nicest I’ve eaten. I think if we had discovered this before our last day we would have visited a lot more.

Fantastic little find whilst visiting York. Had the most amazing cherry Bakewell buns. Reasonably priced, friendly staff, great food.

I have purchased several Cheese and Red Onion baps before, usually loaded with filling … but this mornings was a massive let down… hardly anything in the Bap, had to spread it out so it had a bit all over!!! What a shame and waste of money.

Piping hot sausage rolls absolutely delicious! Apparently I need 100 characters so to repeat the hot sausage rolls were absolutely delicious

A really good traditional high street English bakery which doesn't serve fancy patisserie but does what you want, really well. The kind of place you go to once or twice a week for bread and pasties. This is carb heaven for those who like such delights as pizza made with a puff pastry base or iced buns. Their bread is excellent and they can usually slice it for you if needed. They do seasonal and local favourites such as halloween themed french fancies and biscuits. They also do coffees and hot soup in winter, and a pretty good quiche. I miss living round the corner from one and always try to go at Christmas to pick up some Tipsy Imps.

Lovely two full English breakfasts & coffee. Customer service very friendly.

The best place to eat when in York, I was going to join the queue for the well know cafe in York but decided against it and stumbed across this bakers, it had everything you could possibly want and more, the sandwiches are freshly made and very tasty, the sweet treats are huge and amazingly good value for money, I had the chelsea bun but that is because I was starving and could have ate my left arm! for £1.15 it was very worth it, huge and delicious if I wasn't full I would have gone back for another to take home! They had lots to chose from, even the kids said it was the best they had ever tasted and I happen to agree! For a quick reasonable priced lunch head to this bakers, then grab a seat and watch the world go round. Just Perfect!

The new girl th the cafe with coloured hair .(blue / green ) A breath of fresh air ...thankyou for the lovely experience x

Went into the cafe for a coffee and a bite to eat with my mum.went to the counter to order and got served by a young lad who spoke bluntly and looked as if he didn’t have a clue what he was doing I asked for a cheese toastie and they said they couldn’t do it so they offered some cheese on toast and I said I will have a cheese and ham toastie and pick the ham out myself so my mums food came and I was still waiting for till we complained and the young lad said that we ordered cheese on toast when we said we didn’t he bluntly said yes you did terrible service

Best mince pies, they taste like Christmas.

Came across this great bakery when we came shopping to York. Great choice and great prices. The kids said the ice fingers are the best ever and I do have to agree. They even had vegan options for my fiancé. Will definitely be going back again.

Very friendly and chatty staff, food good, nice and fresh.

Perfect scones at affordable prices! All the products have affordable prices and the ladies are also very kind and fast. I highly recommend it.

Me and my family always visit here every time we go to York! I can’t leave without buying some if their cheese straws. I even took them back for the family this time!

One or other of theThomas the Baker shops is a must visit whenever we are in this part of the world. Good range of sweet and savoury items and ideal provisions for a picnic. The curd tarts - a Yorkshire speciality - are a touch...

They are more responsible for wrapping as they have considered the environment by providing bio degradable bags. Kind giving free tea to volunteers. Good direction and communication with customers as regards service. Good facility for wardens.

Visited the shop in Helmsley North Yorkshire. Baguette, cream cakes and sausage rolls all wonderful. Can't wait to return to Yorkshire to enjoy your goodies again.

Just love Thomas's and their legendry cheese straws Always visit when we're up in York

Walked in early afternoon so it wasn't very busy, without a greeting or a smile we were hurried by the cashier asking "is that all?" for each item we chose. We got some cornish and sausage rolls, we thought they would be warm like usually...

Space while in line on inside nice and friendly staff

Brilliant shop always as the items I require fresh and tasty , staff are caring and friendly

Thomas the Baker (Acomb branch) offers fantastic food at great prices, there is a brilliant selection of goods and the staff are unfailingly friendly and helpful. The only downside is the coffee. They serve delicious coffee in the cafe but the brew they serve as coffee in the bakery is beyond horrible. It has an acidic, bitter, burnt, chemical taste which is just repulsive and lingers in your mouth for ages. I would be very surprised if anyone ever buys a second cup as it is pure poison! I am puzzled why, when what they serve in the cafe is so good, that they don't sort out the bakery version. I know that on the bakery side it is from a machine but many other outlets (Costa machines, Morrisons, Gregg's, etc, etc) still manage to make a pretty decent coffee. Come on Thomas's get it sorted - it can't be that hard!

Always a good coffee plus cakes & sandwiches toastie.Very pleasant helpful staff.

Not good customer service, ordered a breakfast and asked to leave off the tomato and mushroom and they refused to swap for just some extra beans. Breakfast states it includes ANY regular hot drink, but was not allowed to have a regular hot chocolate! Completely ridiculous

I adked for three sausage rolls and only got two thie is not the first time that has happened

And brave they are too , should wear disposable gloves whilst they're receiving cash over the counter though esp now .. applause x

Fabulous selection of savoury and sweet food Delicious tea cakes!

Amazing breakfast and fantastic value for money.

Amazing bakery. So much choice it was hard to chooses. I had a Danish pastry and I bought a custard tart for my mum and we both loved our food. It was really good prices as the Danish pastry was £1 and the tart was...

We decided to pop in for a quick bite for breakfast. We had sausage rolls, chocolate orange danish's and cumberland sausage pasty. The food was fabulous filling and cheap. The counter help was friendly. We were so impressed we came back for lunch!!!! The BLT...

I get my bread from Tsomas's and love the freshness and also cakes and pastiers pies lovely also you cannot fault the staff they are happy and helpful they work hard but still have time to talk to the customers l myself have being a customer for than six months and would like to say well done Ladies and gentlemen for everything that you do

Love the sausage and bacon sandwhices

Earlier this morning me and my mother came to have an all day breakfast at Thomas the bakers cafe Firstly being served by a young gentleman without a single smile or friendly customer service this place didn’t seem great. Then when the two full all...

Nasty cafe! Cafe sells beef pastry but not chicken, bakery sales chicken and beef pastry but they do not let you sit outside and eat it.

Very good quality for the price

Website clearly states that you are open at 7.45am, so when I went in at 7.50am and you refused to serve me saying you weren't open, you've now lost a customer!

The staff are so lovely. Always cheer me up with a smile and a chat. Go far beyond their jobs. The food is cheaply priced and good quality. Lots of regulars as they seem to know most people

We called in here for picky lunch treats ... Bought the prawn & egg sandwiches , cheese savoury, both excellent bread, lovely cornish type pastie and a bacon pastry wrap thing..dropped a star as loads of fat on bacon ..bit disappointing.. Good ginger biscuits though

If I lived in York this place would be so dangerous. I ate here 3 times in 2 days! The only place I could find cherry scones! They were huge and delicious. Also the sausage wrap! Mmmm so sweet and flaky pastries! I had a...

Best ever,tasty, light crisp pastry and tasty currant filling. I've never had such a lovely Eccles cake!

Great bakery and great value for money. The scones for me were a standout. Great lunch spot if you don’t want the hassle of sitting in a cafe and want to keep moving.

We were only in York for a week and we got addicted to their chocolate and orange pastries!!,pity they don't come down as far as the Midlands.

Dobre warzywa . a chleb jak w Polsce dawno temu cudo

This is a very affordable bakery and taste is fine, but when I asked staff what they put in a lot of products, she said they bake with margarine, refined veg oils and not traditional ingredients like butter, lard (which are better for our health...

for me its a ordinary bakery shop, where you can take some pastries or drought products mostly take away. Definitely give it a try to sausage rolls or etc.

This is for the staff in Northallerton branch, excellent service and of course as expected from Thomas the bakers high quality food. I occasionally do lunch meetings and order the sandwich platters from her I wouldn’t go anywhere else!

TIP - This is a good place in the centre for a family looking for a cheap lunch. This is a great bakers with a big range of products from, pies, slices to filled rolls and sandwiches. They also do Coffee and cold drinks

Enjoyed a take away from here. It was the best quality ingredients and it was delicious. Definitely one of the best bakers we have tried.

There were wide-range bakeries to choose. I've tried cherries scone, cheese scone and curd tarts. They were all nice especially cherries scone.

Thomas the Baker is hands down the best baker in York, truly excellent baked goods and a nice wide selection. The only downside is that they still don’t take cars for some reason so you must get cash first, thankfully there is a machine close by to get the all important cash. Be sure to try the toffee doughnut, they are very very nice - but don’t let them put it in a bag or you’ll loose all the topping of the doughnut, demand a box!

Always good coffee here and nice to sit the cafe with a delicious scone. Today I bought the mini quiches which were really good and fresh bread cakes. Very young staff but doing a good job.

The staff are always efficient and the cafe is comfortable a d reasonably priced. All you need for a quick cuppa while having a break from the endless charity shops in Acomb.

We popped in here a few times for various hole fillers including, sausage rolls and a steak bake.... delicious. We also had a lovely moist chicken and bacon mayo roll, a caramel and custard doughnut and the chocolate orange Danish all superb, If I lived nearby, this place and Drakes fish bar would be the end of me. Oh! I forgot to mention the excellent value of the food here as well!

Thomas the Baker has some lovely local cakes and pastries which are a real treat. Eccles cakes, full of super-plump currants and crispy pastry. Yorkshire curd tart was a revelation. Lovely lady in shop told us to heat it and eat it slightly warm - superb. Yorkshire Brack was a moist, fruity loaf cake and was lovely with Wendsleydale cheese. Really made our stay in York extra-delicious!

Lovely lovely chicken mayo salad sandwich my friend and I really enjoyed it and the staff are all friendly and helpful

Go to Thomas with sister friendly staff and good food

good range of sandwiches and bread if you get there in time well used by local.community

Whenever I go north and see a Thomas the bakers - I call in and buy up all the Chelsea buns I can. They are huge!! Moist, full of juicy fruit and cinnamon and covered in icing. Such a delicious treat. Huge hand size squares or sweet delight. I freeze what I don’t eat on the day, and then have one weekly, until my next trip north. Don’t pass Thomas the bakers without popping in to try one - well worth it, guaranteed.

Every time I visit York I pop in here almost daily to buy a date and walnut scone for my lunch as they are warm and delicious! We don't have scones like this in the bakeries in Cheltenham!

Amazing food and staff very friendly and helpfull

Not Danish pastries! But actual square Chelsea buns with just enough water icing on the top! They are so filling and so tasty!! 85p each and you will be full for hours! Forget about Danish pastries and have an original Chelsea bun. I bought 5 today because I live 2 1/2 hours away and won't get back to York for a year or two. Brings back memories of childhood - please keep making them, don't drop them in favour of sophisticated 'pastries'.

I got the vegetable pasty and the strawberry tart, both were fantastic, I walked back for a second vegetable pasty after finishing the first because it was so incredibly flaky and flavorful.

Great bread and cakes if a little expensive. You can sit outside on the high street and as it is a wide pavement it is very pleasant.

Seriously Bad. Alarm bells should have rung when I asked if they could do me an 'All Day' Breakfast at 2pm and they peered into the boiling pots and told me they had no sausages. There's a butcher less than a minute's walk away FFS! 'Breakfast' eventually came, served begrudgingly by someone who obviously resented our presence. Rubbery hours if not days old bacon, nasty cheap baked beans, a few slices of what appeared to be microwaved tomato and cold scrambled egg. Side plate with a single slice of cold toast. Nasty experience all round.

Popped in for a coffee and it was cold and pouring down outside, so thought I would get a bit of a warm up. It was quite cold in the cafe and one lady moved seats as the air con was blowing cold air on her and as she said, it was already a cold damp day.

Not only is there a shop here with Thomas's excellent range of goodies but a cafe. Stopped and had a sandwich and cake for lunch. Friendly staff and prompt service. We parked in Morrison's car park which is only a short walk from Thomas's and the other shops in Acomb.

Was here for a week and had seen this place on previous visits decided to try it out. Friendly staff, huge portions great value for money. Fresh food, plenty of filling.

Beyond excellent customer service. I've used this bakery a lot and the staff were always lovely but today my husband and I (and the dog, Jasper) went into Acomb for a couple of errands. The queue for him to have his haircut was longer than expected and I found myself wandering around Acomb with Jasper. After a while I decided I'd tie him near the door of the bakery and wait till there was no queue and run in and grab some food and a drink and come back out (he's a very nervous dog, with a Nervous harness, and he gets separation anxiety in new places). As I was tying him to the door and waiting until everyone else had come out so I could run in, a member of staff came to the door and asked if she could get me something so I didn't have to leave the dog unattended. Now I know this seems a small gesture to some, however I thought this act of kindness and thoughtfulness was just amazing. We rarely ever leave Jasper tied up alone outside as he gets so upset and 9 times out of 10 we take supplies with us when we know we'll be out for a while so this was a rare occurrence where I found myself needing some water and food so I could take my tablets. When I handed over the money I said to keep the change as I really appreciated her thoughtfulness and whilst it was only around £2 in change, I wanted to thank her.. but as I walked away she said it would go in their Dementia charity tub which I thought was even more lovely. This bakery has truly brilliant staff who are only too happy to help out. And as always, the baked goods are always delicious!

I've been in Thomas bake many of time and it is a nice coffee shop

Was a quick stop while exploring the city! The choice was great and the food was brilliant! The staff where helpful and the prices where very reasonable! Brilliant for anyone adults and children!

Usual Thomas bakers quality, very good fresh sandwiches, lovely staff and shop clean and tidy, highly recommended

Excellent quality bakers! we loved the chocolate orange danishes!! and pork pies. My dad said the carmel cream donuts were the best donuts he had every tasted!!!

The pastries and cakes are so good! I always make sure that when I come to York I pop in and grab a Cookie Monster! Best thing there! Gingerbread isn't half bad either!

:O I had the lemon Danish cake and it was insane!! So tasty, bit naughty for breakfast but it certainly hit the spot!! Latte was nice Good prices too

Excelente panadería para probar pastries inglesas, dulces y saladas. Excelente opción para un picnic en el parque. Recomiendo los rolls de diferentes variedades, a 1,20 P. cada uno.

What can I say about Thomas the Bakers. They are fantastic - I only wish they would branch out 'Down South' as I really miss them now we have moved away. We popped back for a visit to York and were asked to bring back cheese straws and Yorkshire Curd Tarts, which are our absolute favourites. I hadn't tried the Curd Tarts until about a month before we moved - probably just as well as they are so moorish, I would have been the size of a house!! The sandwiches are fresh and well filled and make a great picnic lunch. The flapjacks are lovely too.

We discovered Thomas the Baker in Richmond and were very glad to find one in York. Loved the bakewell tarts, steak wrap/ pastie and vegetable wrap/pastie. Good quality low cost option when you're traveling.

Very good bakery, great prices and tasty savorys and sweets with funs variations.

I had the best scones and sandwiches ever. The food at this bakery is so incredibly great and reasonably priced. The variety of sandwiches, treats etc. was amazing. DO NOT MISS THIS IF YOU ARE IN YORK. They have other locations according to their website..but only in the UK.

Whenever I'm in North Yorkshire I usually call into Thomas the Bakers for one of their lovely cakes. My favourite has to be their Chelsea buns, they are just delicious and could eat one after the other, but restrict myself to one if I want to fit into my jeans! I also think their mince pies at Christmas are the best I have tasted. Everything is always so fresh and reasonable priced. Wish there was one in my town.

After walking round York looking for a artisan bakery for a little cup cake we came across this bakery with lovely looking cakes and Danishes ect in the window!

Caminamos por las calles de York y descubrimos esta deliciosa panadería y que también ofrecen deliciosas tortas con gran variedad. Muy buena calidad a un buen precio. Recomendable si no quieres invertir tiempo y cuentas con poco presupuesto para comprar un lunch. Recomendable las tortas de jamon. Importante mensionar que solo ofrece pan y tortas para llevar.

Hard to decide what to select. Our variety was all delicious. Fresh food, good selection and the locals love it. I do too!

Great bakery with many branches in central York. All food good quality and wide range available- scones, biscuits, pies, pastries and sandwiches as well as some Yorkshire one-offs. Reasonably priced and friendly staff.

Great place to buy a delicious selection of freshly make goodies. They sell a good selection of frozen things so take some home to experience a bit of Yorkshire back home.

Nice Clean Shop,Good Service,Great choice of sandwiches,savouries& Cakes.I would highly Recommend you pay Thomas the Bakers a visit.

English people will make a pie out of anything. I was out and about by myself thrift shopping in downtown York when I passed this bakery with a beautiful display of tarts, cookies, breads and pre-made sandwiches. With help from the clerk, I selected a Yorkshire curd tart (sweetened cheese curds and egg) for my afternoon snack. Not exactly France, but it was good!
