Best Bakery and Cake Shops in Woolley Bridge

"At the Forge Bakehouse “Serving up all day breakfast and brunch, monthly late nights and supper clubs. Fully licensed with a wine, beer and cocktail menu, we are psyched to finally have a larger cafe space in which to kick back, flex our creative muscles and entertain.” Brunch is served from 9am until 3pm every day. Some of the more notable options are a couple of variations on French Toast (vanilla french toast, fried chicken, maple syrup, sesame brittle, peanut OR vanilla french toast, orange greek yoghurt, poached rhubarb, fresh orange slices, orange syrup), Baked eggs, a Breakfast burger (!) and Thyme and Garlic roasted mushrooms."

"Forge began as a humble bakery, then it branched out with a café, and now that café has monthly supper clubs, cocktails, burgers and shakes. But the star of the show will always be the bread, baked fresh every day, right next to the café. Order the Mexican-style huevos rancheros for brunch, but don’t leave without a loaf of sourdough or another treat to take home."

If your idea of heaven is being surrounded by freshly baked bread, cake and pastries, then Forge Bakehouse is the brunch location for you. If you need something a little more substantial, breakfast is served until 12pm most days, and 3pm on a Sunday."

Tucked away beneath the beautiful glass roof of Burton’s Arcade is specialist coffee shop Pot Kettle Black – vigilant against over roasting, this place presents its brews in trademark red mugs, served with a glass of water and a Viennese wafer. It’s spacious, cosy, and that little bit off the beaten track."

I’m yet to see PKB empty, which is testament to their consistently high standards and some of the best coffee in the City. Also a sanctuary for freelancers I’m not the first to have spent an entire day in PKB, keeping fuelled by their beverages and snacks and I’m positive that I won’t be the last."

The core coffee PKB uses for standard espresso, Piccolo, Flat While, Latte and Cappuccino is Workshop’s ‘Cult of Done’.

"The Depot Bakery provide some of the city's finest doughnuts to various cafes and eateries but recently they relocated their operation to Kelham Island and opened up their own café too.

"Set in a charming courtyard at the Neepsend side of Kelham Island, the Depot has become much more than just a bakery – it also serves coffee roasted by the same company responsible for the beans at Tamper, and delicious pies."
