Best Bakery and Cake Shops in Whaley Bridge

"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."

"Founded in 2012, Forge Bakehouse opened its doors as a micro-bakery. You might think, why is a bakery featured in a list of restaurants?. Well, the incredible flavours of the bread won the hearts and minds of Sheffield, and the bakehouse has expanded to offer breakfast, brunch and on occasion, late night suppers."

"Just out of the city centre Forge Bakehouse is a Sheffield institution, and a place we’d recommend you should head to on a regular basis (if you’ve not been there before, what are you doing?. Get down there immediately!"

"A coffee shop that has gone from strength to strength since its opening in 2014, Pot Kettle Black has two locations in Manchester – including Barton Arcade and Spinningfields. The coffee shop is inspired by our friends in Australia and New Zealand, taking pride in coffee culture and experimenting with only the best beans in the game. The chilled coffee shops bring a welcome summer vibe to the city, and if you’re stopping by, we highly recommend you try their bakes too."

"Pot Kettle Black has created a special menu especially for Pancake Day. Simply pop by their hatch on Tuesday to grab breakfast, brunch or lunch pancakes from 10am to 3pm. There’ll be pancakes topped with streaky bacon, fried egg and maple syrup; raspberry coulis and white chocolate mascarpone; and honeycomb, milk chocolate and butterscotch sauce."

"Pot Kettle Black is an award-winning speciality coffee store based on the ground floor of No.1 Spinningfields. As well as tasty brunch dishes, they’re passionate about coffee and dedicated to quality. Looking for something different?"

"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."

"Depot Bakery is the sister company of Tamper and offers an exciting range of freshly baked pastries and artisan breads. This is the perfect place to go for an early morning treat and to try out a tasty brunch menu!"

"Aside from baking artisan breads, pastries and patisseries daily, The Depot Bakery also has a cafe and the menu is heavy on the vegetarian side from breakfast onwards."

"It’s half-deli, half-bakery, with a wide selection of pies, sausage rolls, cakes, pastries and freshly baked loaves. Alongside its famous hot roast carvery rolls, it’s worth having a go at the full English Vienna. For just £6, they’ll fill a bap bigger than your head with hand made pork sausages, rindless back bacon, hash brown, egg, black pudding, spam, mushrooms, tomatoes and/or beans."

"A Tafford Centre pit stop isn’t the same without some warm topped cookie dough!. My Cookie Dough has reopened at the shopping centre – returning with a large list of flavours to try from Red Velvet to Fudge & Honeycomb (which you can customise by adding your own choice of toppings and ice cream). My Cookie Dough also launched a Build Your Own kit which you can have delivered straight to your doorstep containing all the ingredients you need to make enjoy your My Cookie Dough experience at home."

"My Cookie Dough has a seriously committed following, judging by the crowds at its Manchester Arndale stall (it recently opened another at the Trafford Centre too). Big dollops of dough are baked until warm and crispy, but still soft enough to dip into with a spoon, then loaded with various sauces and toppings. Indulgent flavours include red velvet and Nutella, white chocolate and raspberry, Oreo, fudge and honeycomb, Biscoff, and coconut chocolate."

"Taking the humble traybake to new heights, My Cookie Dough is among the best dessert shops in Manchester. Their Slutty Brownie stacks are a mouthwatering mess of chocolate brownie, crushed Oreos and their house cookie mix, served up as chunky slabs and coated in a hefty drizzle of Nutella. With locations at both the Trafford Centre and the Arndale, you won't have to travel far to get your hands on these bad boys."

"It's just amazing food and the salmon taco it's the most to die for food ever. Dan is amazing as a host and gave some great recommendations. 02/06/2021: Food was amazing as ever."

"matlockmeadows.co.ukSnitterton Road, Matlock, Derbyshire DE4 2JGREAD: Matlock Meadows review. On the very edge of the Peak District National Park, just outside Matlock, is Matlock Meadows. This is a must visit place if you are looking for things to do in Matlock as there are farm animals to see, both an indoor and outdoor playground, and of course, ice-cream!"

"A post shared by k a t i e (@daydreamkatie) on Aug 6, 2016 at 9:46am PDT. Located on a working farm, this dairy and ice cream parlour may be a little off the beaten track, but it’s a great place to escape to for a quiet day out, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Nestled in the pretty village of Dungworth, just outside of the Peak District, you can visit the farm’s on site ice cream parlour for a tasty cone or scrumptious sundae, or enjoy a wander around the area before picking up a tub from the farm shop to take home with you."

"An abundance of choice in flavour is available to have in a cone, on waffles, or on a cake of your own choosing. If you ever head to gelato passion, make sure you try out their peanut butter cake with raspberry sorbet. Kind of like a PB&J sandwich deconstructed into ice cream!"
