Customer Review Summary
Sandwiches, wraps and paninis anchor most visits, with reviewers praising the well-filled sandwich cabinet, piping hot food and tasty chips from the hot selection. Close behind is the catering, where two reviewers describe hot and cold spreads delivered on time and well presented, with guests asking where the food came from. Breakfast has its own fans, who name a big fry, porridge and a bacon sandwich, while the lasagne, the coleslaw and the wee buns also get singled out. Staff are repeatedly called friendly and helpful, and the place is described as clean, cosy and busy with takeaway custom. The only complaint comes from one reviewer who did not like the coffee. One diner recalls a server suggesting a replacement filling for a panini and another staff member bringing cokes from the back of the fridge.

“Bluebells catered for an event at my house. They delivered a selection of hot and cold food and it was outstanding. Every guest commented on how delish it was. Delivered on time, really fresh very reasonably priced. Would highly recommend the Bakery to anyone food and service excellent 10/10.”

“I passed this cafe recently and noticed a lot of people sitting outside so I made a mental note to visit when I was in the area again. I wasn’t disappointed, the interior is surprisingly large with comfortable seating. It’s very clear from the start, they are very passionate about their food, amazing display of freshly baked pastries and a broad range of healthy offerings in the sandwich cabinet. I opted for a healthier breakfast (porridge) and a bacon sandwich, delivered with a smile. Can’t recommend this enough, great spot 👍”
