We used to occasionally visit for pain au chocolat's but haven't been for a few years. Husband went yesterday and bought a sour dough loaf which was nearly £5!!!!!

Couldn't taste the chocolate and have no idea what the base was made of. I could have made something a million times nicer at... View all feedback.

Coffee and a Bakewell tart always excellent! Took away a sourdough multigrain this has got to be the tastiest bread ever.

Bicycle Bakery has established itself as a beloved destination in Tunbridge Wells, renowned for its artisanal sourdough loaves and decadent pastries. While many patrons rave about the bakery's exceptional bread, some reviews hint at inconsistencies in certain offerings, such as the chocolate caramel tart, which some found lacking in flavor. Customer service experiences appear mixed, with some staff receiving accolades for their friendliness, while others could improve responsiveness. Despite these critiques, the bakery's dedication to quality ingredients and a welcoming atmosphere keeps loyal customers returning for more delightful treats, from scrumptious croissants to unique pastries.
