I’m not usually one to leave a review but I’ve been going here every now and then for a treat for years now, since I was about 10 until today being 24! Today I went in and there was a customer being quite rude to the staff. Thought the least I could do is leave an honest review about how excellent they are here. The food is always incredible. Pastry is amazing, bread is beautiful, and the sweet treats are absolutely massive. I’ve never had food I didn’t enjoy. Whatever you get from here, you’ll love it. My personal favourites are the doughnuts, bread, and the sausage and bacon pastry things (no idea what they’re called, but the person serving me always knows what I’m on about). The staff have always been so lovely. Whatever their hiring practice is it clearly works. I have anxiety and struggle ordering food. They’ve always been so kind and patient, no matter how busy the shop is (and it does get busy, for good reason!). It doesn’t matter who is serving me, they’ve all absolutely fantastic. The prices are decent too. They could probably get away with charging a lot more for the quality and size of what they sell, but obviously I’m glad they don’t so I can buy more! If you want anything specific, you’re best going early as they do sell out quickly. But everything they do is amazing, so if you go later you’ll still end up with something nice. The only thing they could possibly improve on is having prices a bit clearer. This would just help to be able to budget and make buying an easier experience for people like me who get anxious and like to plan these things out. But, as I say, the workers are so lovely that not having the prices clear really isn’t the end of the world at all. There is no barrier to just asking! Overall, a true 5*. I’d recommend going here to everyone (and often do)

Burbridges has been a staple bakery in Andover for 3 generations. The prices are reasonable for what you get. I have been here many times. On to the best bit. Staff have always been friendly and helpful with any questions I have. So my favourite here has to be the bread and cheese straws. The cheese straws they always normally sell out so go in the morning. I have tried most of the cakes/buns at some point in the last 10 years and they taste and feel fresh. They also do a square pizza ( just like they used to in school). Tastes just like I remember. All in all love coming here and never lets me down.
