Bakery47

I love this place! I’ve visited a few times for bread or cakes to takeaway (although not as often as I’d like) but last Saturday we decided to go along for some brekkie. Man it was tasty!
To start off with, EVERYONE should find their way along to get a freshly baked loaf of bread, it’s some of the best I’ve tried, ever! And a cake (or 5…). They don’t open regular hours so it’s worth keeping an eye on their social media. It’s also only a 5 minute walk from Pollokshields East station, if you don’t often venture that side of the river.
If you’re lucky enough to get in on a morning they’re offering sit-​in food, stay for brekkie! We got lucky, about 10am on Saturday morning, we managed to nab the last two seats in a very busy wee store to have some food.
The menu was great, and it changes all the time which is really cool. First thing we noticed was how reasonable breakfast is! Fresh filter coffee is £1 a cup, £2 a mug!!! Heaven :) I got Baked apple almond porridge with cinnamon caramel, which has sparked a new obsession with baked porridge. And Luther got Potato pie with sour dough and pickles. It was just a perfect breakfast!
So both our dishes, 2 mugs of coffee each, a fresh baguette to take away, and two cakes came to just over £20! What is this magic?
The environment is beautiful, the staff are wonderful, the food is perfect. What more could you want? I could come back every day :)

For my very first review I thought it fitting to write about my newly discovered food haven… Bakery 47.
Located on Victoria road, this unlikely hotspot is cool, quirky and most importantly delicious. I payed my first visit last Sunday and instantly fell in love with the décor and relaxed atmosphere. The popularity of this place meant there was a 20 minute queue for a table but the staff were extremely friendly and set us up in a corner with hot tea and coffee while we waited. When we eventually got a table, our food came swiftly and it was explained to us that all the food was freshly prepared that morning.
I had the boiled eggs and homemade bread breakfast dish, as did my companion but the other items on the menu looked equally intriguing. Baked oatmeal and breakfast pastries were a popular choice by the other diners.
In summary, the food is fantastic, the décor is delightful and the staff are sensational. Definitely a new favourite for me!

This is hands down my favorite place in all of Glasgow.
I found their Instagram while still living in SF, CA and knew I had to check it out as soon as I moved to Glasgow. Sam and Anna are two of the kindest souls you’ll ever meet and that shows in the quality of their product. The love and dedication they have for their craft is truly remarkable and I enjoy visiting Bakery47 at least once a month.
I’ve never purchased something I haven’t liked. My personal favorite was the German Stollen bread I preordered at Christmas time. It had two rolls of marzipan in it and I devoured the loaf in 2 days!
Not only is this sweet bakery a fabulous place to eat or get takeaway, they partner with local artisans to host educational workshops frequently. I’ve met some fabulous Glaswegians at these events and have learned some great life skills!
If you’ve never ventured to Bakery47 you’re missing out! Add it to you list to-​do as soon as possible! You won’t regret it :)

A little bit of heaven in the Southside.
I love the fresh, light décor and relaxed breezy feel of bakery 47. This busy little treasure is a complete delight of baked goodies!
When we visit we usually park at LIDL and do some shopping too!
The sourdough bread and rye breads are the best I’ve eaten– my absolute favourite savoury in here is the cheese scones– really intense flavour, crumbly and hard on the outside with gorgeous doughy middles. Get them heated up at home and grab some butter for a truly memorable munch. Yum!
The luxurious brownies, zingy (gluten free) pollenta cakes and pistachio and rose cakes are an absolute joy to bemunch.
Thank goodness you’re not in the west end or I would eat your wonders too often for it to be good for me!
All the love to you, Bakery 47. Keep on baking on!
My wee update for Bakery 47 is to highlight their range of fantastic pop up events and collaborations. Bakery 47 x Little Joy Berlin was out of this world. I can’t think of a better way to compliment their well developed style than their fab instinct to reach out to other awesome niche businesses. From an upcoming pop up with the gorgeous Floral Menagerie, to crafts, storytelling and woodwork classes Bakery 47 sure knows how to create hip alliances.

The star rating is not relevant and here’s why. Bakery47 seems to be operating opening times based on Open Until Sold Out. A couple of weeks ago we arrived at lunchtime. It was closed but the staff was inside and carried on working without bothering to acknowledge the four disappointed faces staring through the window trying to fathom why Bakery45 was closed at lunchtime on a Friday. Thinking that the bread must be exceptional if Bakery47 can afford to operate on «flexi» opening hours, which are unpredictable, I tried again. I parked my car nearby and Unilocal,I was flabbergasted — the same scenario. It was about 11 am and the bakery was closed. I give up! So unless you live nearby and can work out the opening hours, I suggest you give it a miss until the opening times are fixed.

I’ve been following their wonderful photos on instagram for years and have taken months to get here but finally I made it! I had to wait for a day when they were open and I could get to Victoria Road fairly early in the morning but it was worth it! Bakery 47 is the closest thing to heaven on earth for me. A beautiful space filled with beautiful cakes, pastries and breads.
I had a cardomon bun and a cup of coffee (CC&T blend) which really hit the spot at 8.45am. I decided to stock up for the rest of the day and also bought a scone, a pastry filled with egg and cherry tomatoes, a lemon and blueberry polenta cake and a rye salt chocolate brownie. I’ve tried their loaf cake slices at other cafes before and they are delicious. I can only imagine how hard they must work to get all these flawless bakes ready every week.
Keep an eye on their Facebook page for opening times and special events. It really is worth a bit of planning to get here if you aren’t lucky enough to live nearby.

After reading glowing reviews of Bakery47, I felt I simply HAD to pay it a visit last Sunday for the wonderful cakes and coffee described in exquisite detail by others…
Folks and I made the trip south of the river, arriving around 12:50, and initial prospects were promising… the hip bakery looked busy and inviting from across the road, with customers sitting outside.
But that’s where the good times ended. On entering, we were surprised by the stark «minimalist» interior — I don’t just mean the décor, but a near-​complete absence of bakery items. It took a short while looking around; were they behind the counter? through the back? Or was the table of cookies, tiny sponge cakes, and fluorescent pink iced buns all they had to offer? No doubt we should have arrived earlier, but pre-​1pm lunchtime isn’t that late surely?
Sadly, as tables were occupied and what was left somewhat lacking, we left without sampling anything. I’d also be happier for the goods to be covered or behind glass, and not sitting open on a table in the middle of the café at the peril of coughs, sneezes and flies.
I’ll certainly be back again to give Bakery47 another go — earlier — and hope to enjoy what I missed out on.

THIS PLACE! I’ve been stalking it on Instagram for what feels like forever and I finally managed to make it for Sunday brunch this morning. It more than surpassed my (high) expectations. I went for a sourdough bagel with boiled eggs, dukkah and watermelon, and my friend opted for honey eye toast with pistachio butter, rhubarb jam and yoghurt. It was all absolutely amazing! They thought about every single from beginning to end, cannot fault it whatsoever. Be sure to go down sharpish though if you want breakfast– they were beginning to run low by about 11. And get a brownie, it will change your LIFE.
They’re open fairly sporadically but usually always open Sunday with a coffee pop up too. Check out their Facebook/​Instagram for opening times and GO!

Managed to swing by one lunch time for a look — the pizza was hot and fresh out the oven, so had a slice which was delicious. Chocolate almond croissants also excellent. A nice space, but go early for a good selection!

Best bakery you could every experience. The only problem is that u have to plan ur visit since everything’s sold out by 11 am and check the updated opening hours.

At long last, I made the trek south of the river to give Bakery47 a test run, and it was so so worth it! I had heard murmurs of the place being often sold out by 11am, so I though arranging to meet up there at midday may have been a little on the risky side, but we managed to catch them on a slow-​ish Wednesday. Admittedly the bread selection seemed to be a little cleared out by the time we arrived, but some fresh tomato, basil and cheese focaccia was just coming out of the oven as we arrived.
I’m not a southside local in any sense, far from it, so got a little lost on my way to the bakery. Luckily I bumped into a friend who put it eloquently as «exactly where you wouldn’t expect there to be a nice bakery», so back off up the road I went and there it was!
We managed to get a table easily enough, but I can see this place being pretty busy on a sunnier day, so I’ve taken a mental note to turn up early next time (and, there will be a next time)!
Myself and friend had a leisurely time sharing one of those focaccias fresh from the oven (too tempting to resist), as well as an iced berry filled yoghurt cake for myself, and macadamia millionaire shortbread for him. Everything was just as delicious as I had hoped. Bakery47 really lived up to the hype.
Most excitingly, the very generous portions and 3 big mugs of coffee came to only £10! With comparable venues in mind from the west end, where I can easily shell out that much for a coffee and cake, we left very very happy indeed.
On my way out I was perusing the wide range of fresh breads, such as sourdough and wholemeal loaves of all types and sizes, and decided that Bakery47 was well worth a repeat visit next time I was southside and with a craving for fresh, artisan breads.
Suffice to say I love it!

Quirky, cool, awesome, beautiful, delightful… All words that you could use right of the bat to describe this trendy new Glaswegian bakery. They seem to be open until they sell out and then close to bake for the next day. Each time making new stuff, so your not 100% sure what you will get when you arrive. It’s a novel idea and it works. It builds hype and shows the freshness of the food you are buying. My only slight «gripe» would be that it also means if you get there to late to you could be disappointed or you might turn up fancying focaccia and instead end up having to eat a vanilla bun. Still it’s a minor complaint and is worth it for the freshness and variety of the baking on offer.
This place is streets ahead of your normal high street bakery brands. There is no greasy sausage rolls dripping with fat to be found here. I have been a few times and loved everything. The focaccia is magnificent, the vanilla buns are a taste sensation. I have enjoyed salted caramel short bread, awesome little almond jam ring biscuits and amazing scones. I could go on and on. Each time I return I have no idea what I will come away with, but I do know it will be bloody tasty.
Get yourself down to Bakery 47. Support a new innovative Glasgow business and at the same time you will get yourself a lunch, breakfast or snack that will make you want to return five minutes later for more.
And then again ten mins later for even more… or maybe that’s just me.

What can I say, I love this bakery so much! I can’t express my love for it! I woke up extra early today to catch the bus with my partner to the south side. I’m not a morning person at all so this is some immense form of dedication I kid you not.
Firstly, the baked goods are amazing! First thing you see when you walk in are tons of freshly baked bread, croissants, pastries, cakes … Do you know how excited I was? Just like a child in a fun fair, that’s how. The smell of food alone got me grinning with happiness.
Anyway, we had their fresh croissants, brownie and tiberkes for breakfast and I was not disappointed by my choice to splurge. Also, I didn’t expect to have coffee there but apparently they now serve good coffee too, which is amazing for me!
I shamelessly packed some bread, macarons and brownies to go for lunch tomorrow too ;)
Secondly, Anna, Sam and other staff members during sit-​in today were the friendliest of people!
Thirdly, the space is just wonderful and vibrant. Full of life when all their loyal customers come by for some delicious baked goods. Also the bakery is so casual, with its minimalist interior design, I’m in love!
I respect the owners so much for putting a lot of focus on their work and making sure they deliver great products. No fuss to «show off» or be pretentious like a lot of places I’ve visited in Glasgow. I’m perfectly fine with them opening only once/​twice a week because it makes the visit to the bakery even more special and somewhat exclusive. I hope they continue with their authenticity!

I’m already dreaming of my next visit.
Stopped in for a cup of tea and a platter of different treats. Everything was delicious, but the croissants must be the best in UK. They’d all gone by the time I went to leave and pick up a cheeky one for the road, so I’ll have to be back.

A Big Fat 5
Never trust a skinny baker, or at least I think that’s what they say? There must be exceptions? Ah, I see there are! Maybe they’re ‘Hipsters’ or fly-​by-​night ‘Trendmeisters’? I don’t think so, I don’t know and I really don’t care because all is grand in this ‘battenburged’ and neglected slice of Victoria (sponge cake) Rd.
It’s down to earth friendly, buzzing on a sunny Sunday morning and sells the most fantastic baked goods. From soured bread and cheesy focaccia to cupcakes and pastries — they’re all here smelling gorgeous and looking fine. Us? Well, scones, cake and brownies were sublime. All washed down with tea and all for less than a tenner! Really?! It’s not often I say this — «PUT YOUR SIT-​IN PRICES UP!!!» There’re plenty places worse charging a helluva lot more. See you soon baker boy and girl.

This place is excellent. I was so excited about it opening up and I have not been disappointed. The quality and flavour of the bakes is just amazing, and the friendly and welcoming atmosphere helps make it a very peaceful Sunday morning retreat. I will never buy a chocolate croissant anywhere else, and if you get to try the rhubard and custard danishes you will not be disappointed. Also, the front of the premises is all glass so you get a lovely view of the world passing by if you decide to sit in.
There was so much choice — from savoury flavoured breads to scones (sweet and savoury) and danishes, to bakewells (with and without pastry) and raspberry cakey things with coconut plus so much more.
Absolutely worth a visit if you’re in the area or fancy a wee jaunt and a cuppa. I really hope this place sticks around for a very long time.

I have found heaven, and it’s called Bakery47. These folk have been around for quite a while now (doing bakes for amazing Glasgow cafes and home deliveries on the weekend) and now have their own premises where you can pop in and feast your eyes (and bellies) on their delights.
They’re located at the top of Victoria Road in a former Chinese takeaway. There isn’t a whole lot else around there but it is well worth visiting anyway because the place is like an oasis — loads of lush green plants and beautiful décor, drool-​worthy bread and cakes and a serene vibe.
They don’t have regular opening hours just now, and you’ll need to get in early so they don’t sell out — last weekend they sold out of everything by 12pm. Check their facebook page for their hours for the week ahead, they’re going to update every Monday so you can plan your visit.
I visited just after 9am on a Wednesday morning and there was way more to choose from than I expected — freshly baked loaves, cakes, croissants, brownies, cupcakes and slices. I was really overwhelmed with the choice and tried not to go too OTT (and leave some stuff for other people) — I ended up getting two loaves of bread, two croissants, a brownie and two macarons. All of that came to just over £10 which I think is very reasonable for baked-​in house stuff! So far I’ve only eaten the croissant but it is absolute perfection in its butteriness. Yum.
I chatted to the guy here and he was super friendly and clearly very excited with how things are going. This is a total gem of a place that’s well worth a visit — next time I’m back I’ll be dining in as there’s a lovely seating area. At the moment they only have tea to go with your cakes but the coffee machine is arriving soon.
