My Home Bakery

While visiting Glasgow, this quickly became my favorite bakery. The pastries are always freshly baked in the morning and they have the perfect combo of sweet and savory. The coffee is always good too and there are little tables for sitting and chatting. And the service seriously is the icing on the cake ;) so friendly, funny and lovely to be around. I will miss this sweet little spot.

The best bakery in the world!!! Love them so much! They have amazing pastries and sandwiches!!! Stop what your doing and go to this bakery right now! It’s totally worth it!

For the longest time, every time I walked past the bakery, it was shut. Then, at Unilocal’s Night of indulgence with Molton Brown, I finally got to sample MHB treats, and treats they were. I loved every bite of the baked goods we were allowed to sample.
Following a lovely brunch with Amigo Carolyn E., we walked to My Home Bakery. I was craving a brownie. On the Epicures of Hyndland website I had read about their «famous brownies», but in the end we decided to move on, and boy, am I glad we did. It was starting to drizzle and we were happy to seek refuge inside the tiny shop that is the Home Bakery. I love the red door, I love how clean and comfortable the inside is, the dominant colour being red, wood and white. It’s gorgeous, and it works so well together. The space, which really is tiny, has a tiny little section to sit in at, and as tiny as it is, it is very inviting.
The brownie was wonderfully indulgent and perfect and exactly what I had wanted. Pretty much everything else that my eye fell on in the shop I craved, but I refrained myself from buying everything.
They have incredible lunch deals on which are on my must-​try list!

Eh — YUM!
As a renowned cake fiend *cake fiend face* and former bakery worker, I have pretty high standards when it comes to baked goods — code for «I have eaten a lot of cake in my time» — but good grief My Home Bakery is excellent! I was in awe of their stuff at the Molton Brown night, especially things marked vegan/​gluten-​free because I honestly couldn’t tell! I think it’s so great that people with dietary requirements don’t need to miss out on cakey goodness — so if you are either/​both of these things then seriously get yourself along here.
I popped in the other day while in Partick, an area which is rapidly becoming one of my favourites in Glasgow — as I hadn’t had my lunch and I spied it on the way to my hairdressers.
I grabbed a chicken and bacon sausage roll, which I fully intended to reheat when I got in but ended up cramming into my face in the car, after having a cheeky bite! It was very good indeed and exactly what I needed.
I also picked up a selection of cakes to share with the family when I got home (nicest daughter/​sister ever, I know.) And opted for two types of volcano cake (chocolate and mango/​passionfruit) a financier and the raspberry crumble. They were all utterly amazing — though not sure which if any were gluten-​free/​vegan because I didn’t ask, sorry!
My absolute favourite was the raspberry crumble, which I’d remembered was also excellent at the Molton Brown night, but a special mention also has to go to the icing on the mango and passionfruit volcano. WOW. It was so flavourful and fresh-​tasting, I may have made a little noise when I bit into it and I may also have done a little dance. (Ok, I did both of those things.)
Their baked goods are by no means cheap, but you definitely won’t get cheap stuff that is anywhere near as good as My Home Bakery’s — so for a treat once in a while, it’s utterly worth it, I promise you!

After sampling some delicious treats from My Home Bakery at a recent Unilocal event, I was really excited to go and get more cake, haha! There was a great selection available (and plenty of gluten free options) as well as some mouthwatering savoury options and various breads for sale (all freshly baked — the first thing you notice is hoe AMAZING this place smells!) As well as this, there was your usual selection of hot and cold drinks that you would expect.
For most people, I imagine My Home Bakery is where they pop in to buy their snacks and take them home/​have them on the go. However, there are a few seats by the window and you do have the option to sit in (for a slight extra charge, which you would get in most places).
Sitting by the window, the girl kindly took my order promptly and then brought me my mint tea and carrot cake. The cake was delicious — soft and literally melt in the mouth. My mint tea (and if anyone knows me, they know I’m very hard to please when it comes to mint tea) was the perfect accompaniment. I loved sitting by the window, people watching and there’s a good selection of cook books available if you fancy a read — nice touch!
I really like My Home Bakery and when I’m in the area, I’d happily pop in for tea and cake! Great value for money and you are made to feel so welcome, which is really important to me. I’m definitely a fan!

I firstly samples the delights from my home bakery at a Unilocal event and i have been meaning to pop along and see their store for ages.
What i love about this company is their gluten free selection. They have 3 cakes to chose from and guess what! None of them are the standard chocolate brownie. Now i do like a brownie but its a bit boring after a while.
They are situated in the west end and there is on street parking but its a bit hit and miss whether you get a space.
There are a few seats available to sit in and since it was quiet thats what we chose to do. Perfect people watching spot too!
I had the chocolate volcano and it was delicious and very filling. I also brought home a slice of the chocolate and orange cake to try.
The girls working in the bakery were very friendly and helpful too. Love service with a smile.
One small point to note is that they do not have a bathroom here.
I will definetly be back!

Fabulous wee place! Always queued out the door.
I love a Financier & a coffee on a Saturday afternoon.
Takeaway a wee sausage roll & you won’t be disappointed.
Amazing service (always great chat) & everything is mega fresh!
#EatMoreCake

OMG the cakes in this place are amazing!
No need for a big review — just get yourself in here and try it for yourself!
My Home Bakery offers a fantastic selection of savoury & sweet treats all beautifully prepared and displayed. Vegan, Diary free and Gluten Free Options on the day we visited which I’m sure is par for the course.
The place itself is quite small although they have managed to squeeze in a seating area if you want to eat in but this place is popular so you might find yourself with standing room only.
My personal favourite is the Raspberry Crumble slice although I really must try something else next time… I’m a creature of habit!
Delightful & delicious… get in!

Oooo-​eee! The cakes!
My Home Bakery is a very special place. There’s obviously a great deal of thought and effort put into such a wonderful array of cakes and savouries.
The tomato and basil slice is delicious — almost like a pizza but better cause there’s no cheese on it, and they also have a veggie sausage roll which tempts me, but which I haven’t tried — yet.
But the cakes! Beautiful creations, unusual creations. And vegan creations! Yes! According to the very lovely girl behind the counter, they always try to make sure that there is at least one vegan option. The day I was in, it was a mango and passionfruit volcano. Oh my word, it was delicious. So sweet and such flavour! I was in heaven.
I also noticed quite a few options were marked as gluten-​free.
It’s a small space, and they have added window seats so that you can sit in. I think there were hot options such as soup too, but to be honest, I was too pre-​occupied by the mountain of cakes before me to be paying attention to anything else. Space at the counter was very limited, so there was a bit of good-​natured jostling, as people were drawn in, hypnotised by the sheer beauty and magic of the cakes.

Who could resist their carrot cake? Scrummy!
And if you’re entertaining, go for the party cake box: 16 heavenly treats for only £9.99!
In other news, there’s sourdough bread, creative sandwiches and so much more!

Really nice cakes and pretty good for a quick lunch too. The staff has been very nice every time I’ve been there.

I first heard of My Home Bakery at the Molton Brown event and promised that I would visit the following week.
I was nearby and came in for my first visit for a coffee before heading home.
The counter has a pretty impressive display of their home baked cakes, pastry’s, breads, home made soups & filled rolls, coffee was pretty good and service was pretty quick, well worth visit if you are in the area, good value & great service definitely worthy of 5 stars.

I think I have been holding off on writing this review because I didn’t want anybody to know about My Home Bakery! I come in here just about every time I am strolling through the neighborhood. The bakers are very friendly! Be aware of the limited hours if you are checking-​out MHB for the first time.
My favourite savory treats are the tomato basil slice and you can’t go wrong with any of the rolls. I even like the vegetarian lentil roll, and I’m as carnivorous as people get! I’m sure many of the other items are good too; I just haven’t tried them because I get hung up on the delicious things I have already eaten!
Onto the important stuff: CAKES and PASTRIES! I love their chocolate volcanoes! I have a new found love for My Home Bakery’s lemon-​cranberry cake. You also can’t go wrong with the almond-​crusted strawberry bakewell. My favorite fruity item is the raspberry crumble dowsed in powdered sugar. And if you can’t decide, you may need to order a ‘party box’ to figure it out (see photos). If I am there in the morning the cinnamon brioches are hard to pass up! I got my friend Jeevan hooked on them too!
Long story short, there is a reason why the front door says, «diets end here!»

Have to update my review to be sure I gave my favourite bakery in Scotland the merit it so well deserves.
Breakfast/​lunch today consisted of a beautiful spinach ricotta pie (the pastry was dreamy and filling perfect saltiness), a financier (deliciously moist, perfect understated presence of almond, lightly caramelised crunchy exterior and gone within seconds despite being bigger than the average French one). I also had a taster of their exceptional and unique seeded shortbread and recommend to anyone wanting a not-​too-​sweet treat :)
Staff are lovely and thankfully stayed that way despite my inability to make quick decisions… though on the positive side, I don’t think there could ever be a wrong choice because it all looks so good.
As I said in my earlier review, their bread is amazing too which is so so important!
Can’t overstate my love for this place!

I’d heard good things about this bakery/​café and was keen to try it out. I’m afraid I couldn’t get with the vibe of the red and white décor: it reminded me of too many teenage bedrooms from my childhood in the 1980’s.
That aside, we were welcomed and my son and I eventually settled on warm sausage rolls for our lunch. I enjoyed my Pork & Back Pudding sausage roll. We then had our cakes. I ordered the Pumpkin and Passionfruit and my son had his Chocolate Volcano cake warmed through. The flavour of my cake was good but I felt it a little heavier than I would have liked and the ratio with the icing was poor. My son’s chocolate cake was light, chocolatey and delicious.
They have a good selection of cakes (with not a dreaded cupcake in sight), some of which are gluten free. There was no public toilet, which is a real downside to going with children.

2 cool guys from Latvia baking their wee hearts out to bring us delicious sweet and savoury dishes. Your eyes will be wandering all over as really you don’t know where to look first. It’s a little white box filled with so much goodness all made and baked fresh daily on the premises. Perfect coffee, perfect surrounds — although small it’s bright cheerful and welcoming

My friends and I all walk by this lovely wee bakery many times a day, it being square in the middle of everything we have going on on a daily basis, but for me, it’s always been one of those ‘look but don’t touch’ kind of places. Everything in the window screams at me to go in a buy, but I’ve always kept my distance, knowing my lack of willpower when it comes to any sort of baked goods or savoury treats… until this past Saturday.
I was in the area running errands, planning on meeting back up with my boyfriend mid day and decided that, since a) I had cash on me– which I never carry (and it’s cash only) and b) I was pretty hungry that I would stop in after a quick drool over what was in the window. I always feel like I’m the only one who stares like a weirdo in to the shop window, but another couple stood right beside me, trying to convince each other that they shouldn’t go in. Their willpower was much stronger than mine, as they left and i b lined it towards the door.
The door in to the bakery says it all «Diet ends here». I wouldn’t call what I’m on a diet, per se, however, I try to keep my temptations down to a minimum.
The staff members are chipper as pie (pie??) and are willing to bag up anything your heart desires for a small price. I mentioned to them that I only had 6 quid on me and had to keep my decisions to a minimum, which quickly, the staff member reminded me not to worry, as there was an ATM just a few doors down at the news agent. HAHA! He may have been new, because there was another girl working there and she looked mortified that he would even say that to a customer. Hey, business is business.
Anyway, I decided on the following: lime and poppy seed cake, a raspberry crumble slice and a cinnamon sugar brioche bun. My total was less than a fiver which I was happy about. He boxed my goods up in a hand stamped box and I was on my way.
I indeed intended to eat the brioche bun on my way to see my boyfriend, but the guilt of doing so was so overwhelming, that i picked up the pace to see him, confessed my bad thoughts and we ate it together.
We didn’t eat the rest until later that night once we returned from a night out with friends, but boy, was everything delicious. We managed to save half of the raspberry crumble for the next day and enjoyed it with some coffee.
All in all, I really like this wee bakery. Not only do they have baked goods and savoury treats, but they offer up lunch deals with soups and sandwiches to boot.
There really is nothing better than a mom and pop bakery– so do yourself a favour and stop on in!

Exceptional value and baking that would put Mary Berry to shame — it’s tiny but if you can get a seat do so. It’s a superb little place, dead friendly staff and the food and coffee are superb
I had a pastrami and Swiss roll and a pork and black pudding sausage roll (with toasted sesame seeds) — both were superb
Coffee could have been hotter but still a pretty perfect brunch — will be back

This little bakery is really unassuming but when you try their lovely baked goods you will be happy you did. I’ve been loving the vegetarian roll-it’s sort of spicy :) My husband had a gingerbread cake which he really loved too.
The sandwiches also look great too — if you are needing a quick lunch

I’ve walked past this wee place several times with my hands up at the sides of my eyes like blinkers singing «la la la… not looking!» This is essential preventive maintenance to avoid being sucked in by the goodies on display in the window.
Today I forgot the protective ritual, and before I knew it I was standing in the queue behind a lady with a pram, salivating like a dog over all the yummy stuff on display (metaphorically speaking of course — what kind of a slob do you think I am?)
Veggie sausage rolls, slices of pizza, flapjacks, tarts, gluten-​free cakes, flower-​pot bread… (wait, what was that last one again?) — for such a small place they produce a fabulous range of tasty treats to tickle your taste buds.
There’s no coffee and no seating, but they are, after all a BAKERY, people! Not a coffee house. If you want somewhere to sit, cross the road and sit in Mansfield Park, or on one of the outdoor exercise machines as I saw a lady doing as she scoffed her cake — perhaps the mere presence of the machine was counterbalancing the calorific consumption in her head?
Great bakery, and a fantastic addition to the Hyndland Street bohemiana.
