The 30 Best Bakery in Northampton

“The toasted sandwiches are amazing. My son loves the choc chip cookie (and drawing on their wall). Every chance we get we pop around there. There is a reason they're award winning.”

“Not my usual place to shop however, I can get some of my favourite dairy products here. Good ranges, great offers but the reason I return is the staff. They are all happy, chatty, friendly, helpful and amazing. Keep it up guys x”

“Visit every week, on one occasion was behind two old farts who said to the young lad serving, "Have you worked here long?" He replied yes a few months. To which they replied "well you should be quicker!" For starters, they didn't pack their shopping, he did!!!! The poor lad just took it and didn't react. In all the trips I've done there the young lads on the till who let's be honest are probably only on min wage are polite, helpful and a credit to the store.”

“Great little cafe tucked away by the side of the Church. Loved it.”

“Great place to stay great bed and breakfast easy to find. Bed very comfortable and breakfast great. Run by a lovely couple.”

“Went recently for Afternoon Tea, staff were welcoming and friendly. The Afternoon Tea itself offered a nice selection of sandwiches, scones and cakes. Thoroughly enjoyable experience and thought good value for money. Would definitely recommend a visit.”

“Wanted to go here for some time and it did not disappoint!!! As soon as you walk through the door the gingerbread smell hits you, all hand made delights with so much to choose from. Not only is there sweet treats but the savoury selection is top quality too, and the coffee is brilliant! All at a more then reasonable price. It's so lovely to go somewhere that isn't a chain, has such a friendly warm atmosphere we need a Beth's in every town!”

“Lovely little cafe/bakery. Went here for breakfast this morning, staff are polite and helpful. Food was delicious and coffee was awesome. Would definitely go here again. Thank you and keep up the great food and service!”

“Yasmin has been our go-to caterer for our community food orders, and I cannot recommend her enough. Her dedication to delivering high-quality cuisine is unparalleled. Every time we order from her, we are consistently impressed by the delicious flavors and impeccable presentation of her dishes. If you're someone who loves Asian food, Meals By Malik is the one to trust for a culinary experience that exceeds expectations. Highly recommended!”

“Here’s a sample review: Review for Panjeeri by The Flavor of Home I tried Panjeeri from The Flavor of Home, and it was nothing short of exceptional! The texture was perfectly balanced—crunchy yet easy to chew—and the flavors were a nostalgic reminder of homemade goodness. The blend of ingredients was thoughtfully crafted, offering just the right amount of sweetness and a subtle hint of ghee that elevated the overall taste. What truly impressed me was the freshness and the high-quality ingredients used, which made it feel like a product made with love and care. It’s a perfect treat for anyone looking for a healthy yet delicious snack, whether for post-pregnancy nutrition, winter energy, or just a wholesome indulgence. I highly recommend Panjeeri by The Flavor of Home to anyone who values traditional recipes with a modern touch. It’s definitely worth every bite!”

“The FOOD here is so so tasty. I got a focacia sandwich and the portions of all the fillings were super generous and everything was so so tasty. Also the lady serving me was so sweet”

“The most amazing bread with absolutely no nasties in it, all freshly baked locally! I cannot recommend Suranne enough, I always buy multiple loaves when she bakes and only wish she could bake more regularly! The bread is delicious, especially some of the ‘specials’ she does (tomato & chilli is a real favourite for us!). She’s also really friendly and very flexible about collection.”

“Absolutely loved our experience at Oblique! The food was simply amazing — every dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented. The hospitality was top-notch; the staff were attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home. Special shoutout to the owner for being so welcoming and ensuring everything was perfect. Quick responses and genuine care made our visit truly memorable. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great food and exceptional service!”

“We had a very nice time at the Mill Yard cafe. It was a Mother’s Day treat by our children. The service was excellent and the food was freshly cooked and delicious. It is a quaint cafe, situated in a beautiful side street. Thank you for a lovely time. Will surely be visiting again in the summer.”

“Great place in Bedford to go out for a yummy breakfast! Cozy atmosphere, good smoothies and and coffee. Amazing and friendly service from the lovely staff team. Will come back!”

“Delicious I've half of the coffee shops in Northampton and this one was the best to me. Strong, intense, not bitter and flavourful.”

“Delicious food & coffee as always! Friendly & professional staff with comfortable seating area.”

“Absolutely lovely food, and just a little bit different from the normal cafe menu. It's definitely worth a visit. And the hot chocolate is pretty impressive too!”

“Food is fantastic. Staff are really helpful and cheerful. Had an issue with a missing item from my take away order. Phoned up and they quickly sorted it out without issue. Thank you”

“The service here is second to none. The food is fabulous. Drinks are lovely, a great selection . Really great quality and value . It's best to book .”

“With HMC certified butchers in Northampton on the decline Ali's Bazaar provided another outlet to buy Halal meat in confidence backed by HMC. The quality of the meat, fish and vegetables is excellent. The meat is not as tough as the meat from other butchers. You can tell the chicken is fresh and has not been frozen and then defrosted and is not covered in red marks. Based on the size of the chicken breasts you can tell they have not come from some genetically modified monstrosity of a chicken that has been crossed with an elephant . I fedback to the owner and told him how pleased I was with the quality of the meat and chicken. The owner told me he is regularly approached by suppliers offering cheaper prices ( and I suspect a substandard quality), however he wants to offer a quality product to his Customers. Vegetables are also fresh and great. A few of my household members are vulnerable so I only make essential journeys. I live out of town and its difficult to find time with work, family commitments etc to come into town regularly for Halal meat and fresh Asian groceries. When I found out Ali's Bazaar do FREE HOME DELIVERY I was pleasantly surprised. I can order food from the comfort of my home and have it delivered the same day ! My last order consisted of about 45 items, I placed the order approx 6pm and it arrived by 7:30pm ! Its a family run business so you can expect an excellent level of service from all the staff.”

“I really love to drink a coffee together with their pastries in this place! Very good place even when you want to buy good bread!”

“Visited the shop with my family for a stock up. Had very warm welcome and the owner was very helpful and keen. Highly recommend for your next shop, specifically for any Desi household items. Special mention: The store is store no meat products, ideal for Vegetarians and Vegans.”

“Lovely little shop.. popped in for some refreshments on a hot day. Very welcoming”

“i would like to praise Julie Whaley at Waitrose Towcester, she goes above and beyond to help anyone in the store and even more the community. She works hard to help support local groups and chairties. Thank you Julie.”

“Very happy with my experience with A Bell, and received the BBQ very quickly with very useful presents. Anish from Customer care made my experience WoW. A big thanks to the team and Anish again, the right person in the right position makes our life much easier.”

“Brilliant service staff very helpful and friendly, it's a pity the staff get abusive behaviour from some customers, this needs to be stopped”

“We were after a few 'special' food items, so popped in here, whilst we were in Daventry. The Partner on the cheese, delicatessen and rotisserie counter was very pleasant and efficient and we used the self-service till, to easily check out.”

“staff are always really nice :)”

“The only thing I dislike about Waitrose is I spend too much here as the charcuterie range is amazing! A little pricey, but you're paying for quality and quality is what you get. I may not shop here on a regular basis but everyone once in a while it's nice to treat yourself to some quality food.”
