Why the 3 stars? As someone who lives just outside Grange, I have bought various times a number of times over the years, when I pop into the town.But on my last visit I was disappointed to see the pricing is not clear. To my mind, the cakes should be clearly labelled with their prices, alongside the name of the item.There was some sort of pricelist on the counter, but it was difficult to discern exactly what the prices related to.This is a time when people have to budget carefully everyone in Grange is a wealthy pensioner.

We walked into this little bakery to see a lovely selection of cakes and bakes. We ordered a vanilla slice from a lovely lady with dark hair. We were standing at the bar area opposite the counter to eat it as it was raining outside, the lovely lady who served us even offered to cut it in half for us. We began to tuck in and it was truly delicious. My enjoyment was ruined when I looked over the counter and the other staff member with a short bob hair cut was scowling at us, she then very loudly 'wispered' to her colleague that this is "a take out place not an eating in place", despite having the bar counter to stand at and tables and chairs outside, which we would have sat at had it not been raining. Needless to say we left instantly. Had she informed us directly that it was not an eating in place, we would have happily left, however this rude woman ruined our otherwise pleasant experience.

We’d read on Trip Advisor that the croissants were stale but just assumed it was a one off or untrue. I mean, how could a bakery find it acceptable in any way to not sell freshly baked products? Well, it seems it wasn’t a one off. 2 almond croissants purchased from their counter on a Tuesday morning and they were like cardboard. The added star was for the friendly server, otherwise it would’ve been a one star review.

I really like Grange bakery but feel I have to let you know about my recent disappointing experience. On Friday I purchased a birthday cake which I had ordered several weeks ago. I went in to check the day before that everything was in order, the very helpful assistant read my order back to me. A lemon cake, to feed 10 people, fully fondant, iced in lemon and white, £48. My first disappointment was on collecting the cake, it had large pink flowers as well as lemon and white decoration. Not to be deterred, I looked on the bright side and delivered the cake to the special family party which was taking place in the NE. The cake was cut into, my daughter requested lemon cake, her favourite but to my absolute horror, it wasnt lemon, it was a vanilla sponge with jam and buttercream. I was so upset. I have to say there was no way of knowing what cake was inside the icing but I ordered lemon so that is what I thought I would have got! ....I would not have even ordered the cake if I thought my request could not have been fulfilled, I would have gone elsewhere. What was the point of the very helpful lady filling in the form and asking me all the questions ?? when who ever baked the cake never read it and just delivered what they thought I would want.07/07/24 I now need to add that following my review I have received a satisfactory resolution. Lesley Many thanks for sorting this out for me.

We thought we'd get a fresh loaf and some croissant for breakfast. Croissant was stale and possibly cooked from frozen. At £1.25 a croissant I wish I'd gone across the road to Tesco. The multiseed bloomer and £4.25 was also stale, it did not have a nice crunchy crust.

Sausage roll was absolutely terrible

3.7.23 @ 10:30. Purchased sourdough loaf costing £4.25. The bread was for our lunch and we discovered it was STALE.. Very disappointing - I assume they wouldn’t sell this to locals (who would complain) only to tourists who never go back to the bakery.
