A long established and much loved bakery in Harborough, popular with locals and visitors alike…read more There's always a wonderfully alluring smell of fresh bread and baking coming from it and they do fantastic snacks and lunches too, like mini pizzas or pasties. You can also get cakes and biscuits. I don't work in the town unfortunately but my partner regularly gets his lunch-time treat from here. There's a chiller for cool drinks too. Everything is reasonably priced, unlike some of the newer takeaway lunch shops in town. And it's all so tasty! A Harborough staple!

Angel's Sinfully Delicious Cookies have an amazing business going on. I live in the USA and needed…read moresomething to ship to my boss who is local to Nottingham. I searched on google maps and found Angel's. Everything sounded amazing so I chatted with her via Instagram chat and she accommodated me so nicely. I asked her what cookies she had in stock and from there, it was a 24 hour turn around time. Super fast, convenient and incredibly friendly. I highly recommend!

This used to be a favourite lunchtime haunt of mine but they have recently changed their menu and…read morethe way they cook their savoury cheesecakes. Infact if you ate here a year ago you wouldn't recognise them! It used to be that the savoury cheesecakes were baked in an oven (you could see the pans) ... my suspicion is that now they are cooked elsewhere and brought in an warmed up. The texture, filling and style has changed completely. No longer do they come garnished with a salad, fruit and crisps. The cakes are still good value and the variety is great. The staff are polite even if it is difficult to understand their Polish accents

For all lovers of cheesecake, this shop is a Godsend. It really functions as a cafe, with…read moresandwiches, teacakes and general lunch-time/afternoon tea time foods available, but the main draw is the array of cheesecakes. They have a huge menu of every kind of cheesecake you could want- both baked and continental, along with cakes, pies etc etc. I've found that the cakes aren't really that great- stick with the cheesecakes. If you buy a whole cheesecake, you get the most choice, 1 feeds between 6 and 16, depending on how hungry you are! Some are very rich. You can also buy small or large slices, although the choices are somewhat limited for these. The best option (both cost and variety wise) is to buy a 1/4 cheescake- these are all to take away. To eat a slice in the restaurant, it costs a fair bit more but it is apparently served on a nice plate with fresh fruit and extra cream. Baked Jamaican Cheesecake is the best.

Connors Bakery is a great traditional bakery just out of the town centre. It has been open for as…read morelong as I can remember and it has been the place I have veisited for many years when I am in need of a cream cake! They are irresistable. They have a great range of fresh cream cakes, doughnuts etc. Their bread is baked on site daily and is delicious. They also make filled baguettes & sandwiches with delicious fillings such as chicken tikka. It is lovely in a time when there are so many large franchise bakeries to see smaller independant bakers still thriving. The service you get at connors is so muche more personal and friendly and I would recommend you go here instead of Greggs!

However, no one goes to a Bakery for a view an the baked goods therefore need to be to scratch. This is a bit of a mixed bag. The muffins (English not American) are a delight with get texture and taste. Eating them is seriously addictive. The rolls are also excellent with the white variety being an excellent base for a quality bacon sandwich at the weekend. However, for me, I find the loaves of bread to be too dense and insufficiently airy for my taste. Others may like this of course. In addition, selection of sweeter baked goods is average at best. The custard tarts are particularly poor - falling into a black hole between British custard tarts and their Portugese breathren - and the cookies are, for my taste slightly overcooked. Still, it is without doubt one of the better bakeries in the area and is obviously popular as there are now sister shops in Oakham and Stamford.
