Saturday 4pm. Disinterested female playing with her phone rather than do her job and serve us professionally. Bread was very stale.

Tiny little bakery selling The Best Sourdough I've tasted. Also a tempting selecting of cookies, cakes etc.Obviously baked with care and the best ingredients.Highly recommended.

The cinnamon bun was utterly unctuous. The balanced cinnamon sugar felt like a warm hug on a rainy day in York.I took a bite, brought it up Cliffords Tower, onto a train, into the fridge overnight, then into the oven the next day, and it was still fabulous!If you do heat it up, I recommend covering it so the cinnamon doesnt burn, else it develops a fennel like flavor.

The sourdough bread at this bakery is simply outstanding. Its crust is wonderfully crispy, and the interior has that perfect balance of tanginess and chewiness. As for the savory Danish, it's a delightful treat with a flaky pastry and a savory filling that bursts with pesto flavor. A must-try for bread and pastry lovers!

omg we found your bakery in York two weeks ago and we haven't stopped talking about it since! the savouries and cakes were hands down the best we have tried and our vegan teen approved too! We bought 5 savouries and 5 desserts and the hungry teens appetites were satisfied. everyone needs to try bluebird bakery ❤️ the mckinneys, Warrington.

Savoury Danish deserves all 5 stars. Weighty, delicious had to grab one early as I watched the pile shrink! Would post a pic but I ate it before I thought about it.

Great focaccia, and some other very good bakes - definitely worth a visit.

Discovered this bakery in the Shambles by chance. So pleased we have as the produce was superb. So many different unique combinations in bread, pastry and cake form. The lady behind the counter was a little reserved at first but I was interested in the different products and she explained the different grains. Purchased pumpernickel rye bread which is so tasty but the highlight was the honey spelt cakes. Great value for amazing products - will definitely be back ?

Have used this bakery since it opened, bread is superb and always something on the specials to temp you with!Tried a new Italian style sourdough today and it was fantastic, very light with a nice chewy crust?Focaccia with sea salt and rosemary is also one not to miss!
Great cafe in Acomb. Lovely spot to meet friends for a coffee and a chat. Super bread and cakes too. I haven’t had lunch here but the sandwiches look equally appealing.

If I could give 5 more stars to this bakery, I would. This is a small, takeaway only shop in one of the Shambles lanes. We got their five spice roll and the spinach chickpea roll — and both were absolutely outstanding even cold! The flavors are so absolutely on point and so delicious that we will be going back tomorrow before our train back to London to pick some more up to take home!

Got a very frosty reception from the woman serving. I went with a close female friend and couldn’t help but feel extremely judged and self conscious. Definitely felt like she wanted rid of us the moment we entered, which is a shame because the pastry was really nice and well priced. Overall a little disappointed

I visited York today for the first time in ages, and I must return soon if only to revisit Bluebird Bakery. I popped in this afternoon for something sweet, and came away with a Honey & Spelt Cake. Sadly I can share no evidence of this with you as it disappeared rather quickly! I cannot recommend them enough - delicious!

Not impressed, got a ciabatta that just is not a ciabatta. You can't just throw some flour on the top of a white loaf and call it ciabatta. Also I get the feeling that this loaf was more than 24 hours old at the time I bought it. Seriously unimpressed
Amazing!
