Artisan bakers' workshop with a rustic cafe space selling homemade pastries, pies and cakes.
Great location and nice to be slightly separate to the train when you’re on the start or end of your journey. Note , not too much seating and a little cold, not a workspace environment.Good selection of cakes and pastries at a standard independent price-we’re yet to try a toastie as they always seem to sell out…We observed the coffee extraction and it looked smooth. Provided a strong cup after a hard days work. Let’s all just get an Americano for no plant milk charge, eyOnly thing we would say is don’t be caught out into thinking it’s open on a Sunday - we keep doing this ! Nor Monday.
Hard to find:D when coming out of the main train station, look towards your left and go one level down and you’ll see the cafe right across the “Temple” that is connected via some sort of bridge:)Best coffee I’ve had for a very long time! I also had the carrot-walnut cake and it was incredible!Super nice staff!! I got charged too less for my latte by accident (and I’m pretty sure it was my faultand offered to pay the remaining amount after I noticed, but the staff politely declined. They were super nice. Great vibe :)
Awesome!!! Best sausage roll Ive ever tried by far and the cakes are divine.This place is a real gem and I wish Id known it was hidden away around the side of the train station sooner.Looking forward to visiting again.
This bakery is well worth a visit hidden away behind Temple Meads railway station it is very busy the best bread money can buy with best products money can buy lovely cup of coffee if you want to sit in or outside very friendly and helpful staff I would recommend this place to anybody
Vegan sausage roll a big hit! Friendly, super busy, well oiled staff machine! ;-)Thanks!
This is a gem. Hidden down a laneway near Temple Meads station, the baked goods are pure fire! The sweets are lovely, but the pasties are incredible - fresh modern flavour combinations as well. Great service and really good vibes in this place!
Superlative bakery. Sausage roll and lemon cake were excellent. Coffee was a bit of a let down - burnt. But dont think that should reduce the rating. The location next to the station is so convenient. Some big seating tables indoor which is great.
Absolutely love this place and we go there once a week. They have a large assortment of cakes, croissants, savoury pasties and sausage rolls. They have good vegetarian options, as well as some vegan and some gluten free items too. They do good coffee and drinks, and you can pre-order bread and other items for pick-up. Also the people who work there are lovely and super friendly.
Croissant were made fresh, love their chocolate biscuit too!
If you are getting a train during the day and need a coffee and sweet/savoury snack beforehand, this is Bristol Temple Meads best kept secret and worth arriving early for so you can sit down and take a minute before going into the bustle of the station.Good range and quality of things to eat and bread to take home. The bakery also uses Extract Coffee which I think is amongst the best roasters in Bristol.Worth planning into your journey times
Great food, good coffee, polite staff. Prices are on the higher end but probably what you would expect to be honest. Its pretty busy all the time but the staff hammer through orders as best they can.

Fabulous selection of Homemade savouries and sweet treats!!
If you could package heaven into your morning coffee and breakfast muffin Id go to Harts Bakery!! I couldnt leave without taking a couple of cheeky sausage rolls for the road.Dont waste your money at those chain coffee shops in the train station people, make the effort to walk down some stairs and get that treat you really deserve!!
The food, aesthetic and atmosphere were fab! I had a sausage roll which was heavenly (kept me full all afternoon, bearing in mind we visited at around 11:00!and my husband had a toastie which was also apparently outstanding! Liked the fact that they have artwork on the walls that changes on the regular to keep it fresh but also support local artists. All the cakes and pastries looked delicious and the drinks were good too.I also liked the fact that even though they had only a little toilet (space constraints!they did have one, and they clearly cared enough about their environmental impact to use ethical or environmentally friendly toilet paper, hand wash and hand towels. You can tell a lot about the place by the small details and that spoke volumes for us!The only thing that was a bit of a shame was that there wasnt heaps of seating so it was a bit of a struggle to find somewhere to sit but I suppose that is a limitation of being in the railway arches!Would really recommend if you have some spare time while youre waiting for a train or just out and about in Bristol.
Just ate their cheese and potato pasty. Wondered if a pasty could be worth £4.60. The answer is a wholehearted yes. Phenomenal!
Beautiful cakes, pastries, bread, biscuits cookies and other choices. Friendly lovely staff and great coffee.
Delicious. Possibly the best bread in Bristol, and theyre damned good at flaky fluffy pastry too. You pay for it though. Sausage roll £3.50, small white sourdough £3.65, daily ft meals are often small ish but £6-7.50.
Wonderful place. Very delicious bread, tart. A little bit of hiding under the bridge.
The best bakery I ever ate at!Was visiting a festival for 4 days and this became my morning routine. Every morning I tried something different and was blown away by it immediately - the taste and texture was really out of this world.Now Im afraid to visit the local bakeries in my living area again…
Great bakery. Amazing pain su chocolat and croissant. They worth every rumor for one of the top bakeries in uk
The best pork shoulder bun I have every had! Amazing pork sausages too! I’m hooked!
Best bakery in Bristol by far. You cannot get anything that isn’t great from here. Please open one in Clifton village!
Handy to grab a great toastie or pasty before a train. Excellent food, really friendly staff.Some of the best sourdough loaves in the city. Legendary Cinnamon Buns. The Saturday Bread is so sticky you need a coffee to wash it off your teeth.
This place is amazing, we were just visiting for the weekend but I wish we lived closer to go here all the time! We will be back again when next in Bristol. Best pasty Ive ever had and the cold brew was delicious!
Had the vegan apple turnover - so incredibly tasty and buttery. Yum. Quite a few vegan options too. Handy for the train station!
Sainsbury’s do a better croissant than this bakery. FYI - they’re supposed to taste of butter guys. Their pasty’s are tasteless also.
Top!!! Best Place for breakfast. Worth every penny!!!
Great pastries but abysmal service. 15 mins waiting and I didn’t get my coffee, and nearly missed my train. I waited but the girl making coffees alone was sullen and slow and in no rush to hurry. I asked for a refund for the coffee but they were unable to find the transaction despite it coming out of my account… they didn’t give any proof of a refund, just an unconvincing “it’ll come back on your card” but they weren’t sure if it had gone through 😂 I was told if not to pop in for a free coffee (that I’ve already paid forbut didn’t even write any proof of this on a card. I will not purchase anything here again unless I have at least 45 mins to wait. I will be back- only to get the refund.
Lots of interesting savoury and sweet treats, including the best carrot cake Ive ever had!
Had an amazing breakfast, and a great start to bristol visit here. Great location as one can grab a bite after a long train journey. The sausage roll was a star, perfect pastry with a good savoury balance. And had to try hot cross bun! Coffee was a great wake up call.
Phenomenal bakery, worth missing a train connection (experiencedto just get a cake or pasty. Great selection of breads, cakes, pasties and the rest all made fresh on site and great coffee too.Put more seating inside now. Very friendly and efficient staff. Wheelchair accessible.
Absolutely the best of the best bakeries in Bristol. Everything’s delicious, the croissants, brownies, breads, literally e v e r y t h i n g. They have certain days where they would make certain types of pastry so you might need to pay attention to their social media to find out what day it would be available. They also sell different lunch menu everyday from noon till about 3 pm.
Really nice little bakery that’s hidden away beside Temple Meads train station. It’s incredibly popular and for good reason! Always very busy, it’s worth getting there early to avoid disappointment - not so great for sitting in (as it’s always so busy), but we always make sure to go if we’re going on a train journey, especially if it’s an early one. Their sausage roll pastry is so delicate and flaky, you’d expect to find it on a kouign amann or other sweet treat. Coffee is Extract, which is good, but not the best - however, you’re going for the baked goods more than the coffee.
They are honestly one of the big guns in bakery locally. The pastries and bread are excellent with nice crisp on the outside and well laminated and fluffy layers on the inside.I was quite disappointed by their chai latte though - safe to say it’s the most bland and unpalatable chai latte I’ve had.
Read about this place in a book and came to have a look, best way to start a day out in Bristol starting from Temple meads. Really good coffee interesting pastries and tarts. Bit pricy but has a nice feel. Very likely to come back here
OMFGI’ve been following Hart’s Bakery on Instagram and have finally had a chance to visit. Firstly, the people at the bakery are super nice and lovely. I wanted to get one of their Baker’s Choice pastries but only wanted the one - their online preorder minimum is £10 and they responded to me on the day to let me know I can get one when the bakery opens but these sell out quickly.I was the second one there before it had even opened and there were four people waiting to go in when I left.I should’ve trust my instincts. I should’ve been greedy. Because I wish I had bought more.I got the white chocolate, pistachio and mango pastry. The pastry is perfect, so many layers - the flavours complemented each other well, not overpowering, not overly sweet and the cream is so light.
One of the best, if not the best, bakeries in Bristol. Highly recommend.
Love this bakery. Wonderful sour breads, yummy cakes and the vegan and meat sausage rolls are to die for.The coffee is worth buying as well.
This is one of the most serious players on the bakeries market of Bristol.The bakery offers great quality pastries, cakes and lunch meals. Laminated dough is of a superb quality, very flaky delicious. Almond croissant is impressive, it is well-balanced and not double baked as in most of the places. Occasionally there are some specials like hazelnut croissants. Coffee is good, service is good as well. The bakery is currently open for take away only.
I could tell this would be good as they were queued out the door, luckily got a seat. Great coffee and bakes.. the pork and chorizo sausage roll was fantastic. Also took away mushroom and pearl barley sausage roll, beef shin mushrooms and blue chhese sauce nap, cheesy flan, berry cake, sticky toffee cake.....and ALL were delicious..Ill be back!
Got burned once trying to show up on a Monday when biz is shut. Was never deterred though because quality of baked goods is JUST THAT GOOD. Sausage roll w/ or w/o meat, the sweet stuff, all of it is great. Try to show up before the lunch rush and youll get scenes like these. If not, its prob better to take it to go. Perfect for the train, although a bit out and down from the station FYI. Kinda get the feeling from locals that they would rather not have the place be known but I suppose that is the price of epic baking. My heart will go on for Harts!
Great tasty bread, couldnt help myself and not eat half of it in less than 20 min! 😁😋 lovely blackcurrant cakes as well. Coffee taste very good too! Overall well recommend place 😃
I cant think of a single thing Ive had from here that hasnt been amazing. Be prepared when you head down because it seems to be rammed from the moment it opens right through till close but dont be put off, the staff are all amazing and the food is even better!The selection changes day to day, great coffee and the bread is fantastic. Other than listing everything Ive ever bought from there and saying how great it is theres not much more to say 😁
Over priced, over subscribed, and burnt pain au raisin.Very pretentious menu, and no bacon baps!Whats worse, is my coffee was cold. Now I know a flat white is cooler than a latte, but this was cold. I walked from the bakery to the main road, and went to drink it, and was very disappointed.Wont be going again.... Oh, you need more than 8 seats outside (rough count!).
The selection of breads, cakes and pastries was frankly mindboggling. They had the classic croissants and cinnamon buns but plenty of more exotic flavours to try too. They also took time to make the coffee properly which I appreciated. I have never seen a bakery with so many staff and bakers buzzing around. Really impressed.P.s. check out their Instagram.
Unintentionally discovered this place when a colleague at work suggested going there. The atmosphere was really warm and positive. I had a carrot cake and a black currant with sour cream cake. Both of them were perfectly baked. If you are passing from Temple means station make sure to pop down for a visit, highly recommend!
Here’s some advice I wished someone posted here: most of their award winning pastries sell out on opening. If you’re traveling in, make sure to call and reserve some, especially if you’re dying for their custard tarts. Their other pastries and baked goods are unmistakably delicious and in a league of their own. Don’t miss out on this local secret.
No where else in bristol can you find such great coffee AND fresh baked sourdough bread in the same place. The pastries are to die for too but youve got to get there before they dissappear! I love being able to see the bakers work their magic in the back, they give harts that authentic genuine atmosphere you dont get anywhere else. Love it.
This Bakery is accessible for everyone especially for people who are traveling on the train as its only a 5 minute walk, which is ideal for any passengers who are craving a snack or lunch and also deserts. The food was delicious and filling, the staff was very friendly which created a very warming environment.
