St. JOHN Bakery

St. John Bakery on Druid Street is a gem for anyone who appreciates fresh, quality pastries. I tried the almond croissant, and while it was a bit pricey at £4.50, it was absolutely delicious and worth every penny. The croissant was perfectly fresh, with a flaky, buttery exterior and a rich almond filling that made each bite a real treat. The bakery has a great selection of pastries, all of which look incredibly tempting, and it’s clear they use high-quality ingredients. If you’re in the area and looking for a satisfying pastry, I highly recommend stopping by St. John Bakery—you won’t be disappointed!

Little gem in the beer mile. The options are limited but the deliciousness is infinite. Cannot recommend the cinnamon knot enough. They don’t serve coffee but there is a coffee shop just around the corner.

I am afraid I have a very mixed view of the St John bakery on Druid street. I tried it for the first time and I purchased an almond croissant and a soda bread loaf. No complaints about the soda bread which was good quality and very tasty but the croissant was dry and was not so good. When you are paying St John prices you should expect fresh produce and on this occasion I was left very disappointed.

If I could give no stars I would. We ordered doughnuts from St. John for our wedding in London as they are our favourite but the courier which St. John booked and charged us for didn’t have the correct information when delivering these to our venue. He showed up saying it was bread for a completely different name which they had no knowledge of so they didn’t accept the delivery. At no point did the courier show the box of 90 doughnuts to the team which would have been very clear as they knew to expect them. I arrived at my wedding to be told there would be no desert for our guests because of this which is incredibly disappointing. No tracking information was provided to us nor was the phone number on the delivery answering on the day. No one from St. John contacted us to explain what happened and after much chasing we got a rude response explaining their opinion was it wasn’t their fault and that is the last we have heard. Having worked in hospitality and customer service I am shocked at this level of service from somewhere with such a great reputation for its restaurants. We have recommended it to friends and bought them vouchers in the past but we won’t be doing that again. We are incredibly disappointed and £300 out of pocket.

The doughnuts were good, but I had the worst attitude from the person in the till. I work in hospitality and I understand sometimes it's hard, but I don't understand why you have to be so cold with someone who asks you very nicely for a doughnut 🤷🏽‍♀️

Tasty pastries, especially their donuts are impeccable! My favourite was vanilla doughnuts. They could be quite pricy but the vanilla donut won’t deceive you!

Unfortunately I found the bakes stale and tasteless. Vanilla doughnut didnt have much flavor even though it was dusted in sugar, the cinnamon bun was an odd one with a puff pastry top and brioche bottom, neither of which tasted of cinnamon :(

Great service, excellent knowledge of all food/ Wines that's are sold onsite. Delicious croissant flakey and very buttery. Keep up.the great work.
