This is such a cute place. As soon as you enter the bakery, you can smell the fresh baking. It's a bit expensive, but so worth it. The staff is super friendly and helpful. The almond croissant is just the best ever. It's a must try ! View all feedback.
What CoeliacwellNES dislikes about The Bertinet Bakery:
We popped into the Bertinet Bakery as we’d heard from another website that they sometimes have gluten free items. Full 2* review at Coeliac WellNES .com . Alas, the lovely chap working in the store that day said they don’t do anything gluten free. Take your gluten containing friends and family – but this place is not for us coeliacs. View all feedback.

Croissants were good but so disappointed with sourdough loaf. Got it home and it was dry and over baked, seemed like it was couple of days old. Bertinet were once the best local bakers but can get much better quality from other bakers in the area.
This tiny shop is a hidden gem in Bath. We had the best almond croissants of our life
This is the first place I came in Bath to get some amazing tasting bread bakery products! I love Real bread , and eat it everyday, but wanted to try their sourdough, as well as their lovely sausage rolls, cakes, and biscuits, etc. I spent nearly £75, and I can say that everything was eaten, with girlfriend dog, too! If I am back in Bath, I will be back here to get their lovely bread cakes! There is another bakery like them in Plymouth, called Jaka 's(it is the oldest bakery in the UK, too! . Don 't believe all these people who slag it off, as they don 't eat proper food, all day, everyday, like me!!!
We were in need of a snack to keep us going as we explored Bath, so when we passed this bakery and saw what they had in the window we had to give it a try. We had the chocolate babka and pistachio swirl, both of which were incredible and just what we needed.
Ordered 7 pain at chocolat, 7 croissants and 2 almond croissants to be collected the next morning at 0800. So disappointed as they were definitely not fresh that day dry,cold and chewy and cost the earth. Never again!

Sensational baked, sad abysmal coffee. keep them to the baked goods and they will be happy.
Brood, 2 x vegetable patties, 2 x almond pastes and other products on Monday. were all delicious, and we will definitely return.
Happened to swing by while exploring Bath and went in for what would be the best almond, raspberry and white chocolate croissant I've ever had. The girl serving was lovely and coffee was great too. So good that went back the next day!
Popped in bertinet bakery this morning and bought an oblong sourdough laaf and a salted caramel chocolate brownie. the brot from this bakery is excellent! we never eat another brot in our house because of the sheer quality of bertinet. if they have the opportunity to visit the bakery, it is worth visiting. like for the brownie, salted caramel sky! update: I went in and bought a pear and hazelnut tar that was incredible.

One of the best bakery in Bath. Its croissant is impressive.
This is a bias review as we were fortunate enough to grab a too-good-to-go bag from this bakery, but I am BLOWN AWAY. Firstly, I am from San Francisco and I hate to tell you but this is real sourdough. Yes, it is actually supposed to taste sour. I think anyone complaining about the sourness of the bread should leave sourdough alone and get plain bread instead. Secondly, the babka is the best I've ever had. It's moist and heavenly and a far cry from the dry, overcooked knots most bakers sell. The pain raisin? Exquisite. We spent the fall in Paris and didn't have a better one there. We were also graced with a cinnamon twist that was sinfully good. All of the puffed pastry gives a rich butter warmth and mouthfeel. I think the only letdown was in the baguette which felt more like a great flute of bread than a real baguette. It had a lovely graininess like the rest of the breads we tried, but I would expect a baguette to be crustier on the outside and softer and more fine on the inside. It was still a lovely piece of bread and this place deserves all five stars.
Almond croissants are huge here..and are absolutely delightful.A little more to pay than a supermarket but the taste and quality outweighs that
We had a breakfast to take and we got everything: the croissants of almond riquísimos and the mocha was spectacular.
I had the cinnamon bretzel and pistachio swirl, both are very good!

The most stale croissant I've ever eaten in my life. It s not ethical to sell bakrry which is left from yesterday!! Food: 1
I’ve been to Bath twice and somehow missed Bertinet Bakery both times—glad I finally made it! The cinnamon pretzel caught my eye for its originality and absolutely didn’t disappoint. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in town.
