Birds On Albert St

I love the variety of food on offer in Boots. But! Sadly am unable to enjoy most of it. I'm vegetarian, Coeliac and Lactose intolerant. There is only 1 item I can buy, and that is the one item that is gluten free. They used to sell a meringue. It had double cream in the centre, now, what most people don't know is that pure double cream is very low in lactose, and I can usually tolerate it. I understand that Birds don't want to be sued..but really!! One item??

Use every week and have done for years. Best bakers in Derby usually. However recently purchased a new line ie a ginger cupcake amongst the cakes I buy and it was very underwhelming! Soggy and bland and overpriced at £1.40. Ginger flavour was poor and there was obviously too much liquid in the mix. Needless to say I will not be buying that one again,not the usual high standard.

Nothing wrong with service ect! Sit inside cafe price's are expensive! Even by 2023 standards! Plus ,you are not allowed to eat food purchased from the Joint Bakery counter! Cafe & bakery are both together in the same building! Now I do understand that you are paying for seating ect. But I don't agree that you shouldn't buy a drink,Inc Costa of service and seating,then to consume any items purchased from the bakery dept! Ido personally visit other Birds outlets where this is acceptable! and cafe price's are much less costly!

Never disappointed, EVER. They always have lovely patient staff too, so thank you to them all. We're lucky to have Birds. There's nothing in their shop that I wouldn't eat. Beautiful cakes, so fresh and tasty and at a very good price. Sandwiches are divine and again at a low price. Pork pies, sausages, ham and many more. They have fruit cake slices with marzipan and icing, delicious, so tasty. Their lunch time sausage rolls are either cold or hot, again yummy. How I miss their 2 sized Torton cakes, they were so beautiful, so morish, but I think they were too expensive to make, hence more expensive in price, such a shame. If you've never had a Bird's cake, then you've never lived 😂 enjoy, you won't be disappointed 👍
