Newells Bakery - Gwynedd

I visited this bakery last year and their custard donuts were the best I've ever had. I couldn't wait to buy them again this year and I can confirm that my original review still holds true. This year, I also tried their lemon meringue pie and Eccles cakes and all I can say is WOW. The lemon meringue pie tastes just like my Mum used to make and the Eccles cake reminded me of Miss Thomas, who had a bakery in Ruthin (Roberts and Thomas) where I worked on Saturdays in the 60s. It's the best I've had since then, with plenty of currants in a crispy, flaky pastry. Their bread is also excellent. Thank you so much!

My own experience was no better. I found the selection of pastries and savory options to be lacking, but settled for what I was told were two steak bakes. I received two cold pasties and asked for them to be heated up for an additional cost. To my surprise, the assistant threw them in the microwave in the same bag they came in. When I retrieved them, they were hot, soggy, and unappetizing. One pasty had no meat inside at all. While we did not expect fine dining from a bakery, we were disappointed by the unfriendly service and unappealing food presentation. It is shocking that someone working with the public lacks even basic customer service skills. This experience was so bad that I felt compelled to write a review, something I have never done before.

Popped in to get a few snacks and treats. Woman serving was not very welcoming, unfortunately. Nice few sweet treats on offer but hardly any savouries. Would recommend the chocolate eclair!

The excellent custard doughnuts are boxed to prevent squishing, ensuring a delicious treat with plenty of filling.

I walked into this bakery and could smell fresh bread being baked and other delicious foods being made mm mm the lady behind the counter was great, a real nice friendly person and genuine. I purchased a pastie to go and a fresh cream cake mm mm Lord stunning mm mm. this is what a bakery is supposed to be like.
