One of the best coffees I've ever had. Wish they did larger cups for the money. The bread is awesome. I bought 2 loaves of different sour dough, and their both delicious. First time there, and I'll defo be back. Bring on the larger cups!!
Wow what an amazing bakery and got there just in time before a huge queue out the door. I can see why though, an abundance of goodies for all.
Good selection of pastries. Nicely baked. Hubby enjoyed his sour bread. But coffee and tea were quite disappointing for the price, the cups were tiny! I paid a similar price at another cafe nearby who gave me a pot of tea sitting in with a nice cup vs the wee plastic/paper cup they gave us. Serve them on bigger cups!
Upmarket bakery ran by two very passionate people, Ian and Dominique Pediani. They have a West end equivalent which offers the same.
The sandwiches are delicious and change on a regular basis. Mouth-wateringly good and quite unique as they try new combinations of flavour in search of perfection ! They are Thurs to Sunday at present so maybe worth a buzz if you are making a longer journey.
Trust me this is well worth the journey. Forget all you know about sandwiches and prepare your tastebuds to be tantalised !! Pic shows Pork Sui on focaccia. Dynamite on many levels, heavenly too !
I realise I've never had an almond croissant before. I've had croissants with flakes of almond and a smear of almond paste. The delicious, indulgent, beautiful, opulent ALMOND croissant I had today possibly breached international guidance on maximum almondness. Crisp where it should be, soft and dreamy elsewhere, filled and I mean filled with sweet sticky almond paste. Bravo and thank you.
This place is so nice it makes me want to eat as much as a big bear would. I've had the flan which simply melts away in your mouth in a moment of ecstasy. The coffees are great too. Last time I went they had this amazing looking cheesecake which I had to resist the temptation of buying but I have to say I've had dreams about it since. You just have to go here.
Ordered some cakes for my husbands birthday and they were the most delicious things any of us have ever tasted. All of our friends loved the cakes too! Thanks so much and will be ordering more soon!
The food that you can buy here is absolutely delicious. There are some small park benches outside so that you could sit and eat your food there but they are small and the place is so busy but mostly this is for take away I'd say. The make fantastic sourdough bread and focaccia bread which seems to have different flavours each day. They also sell delicious croissants in a variety of flavours
I had a chocolate orange one. There are cream cheese cinnamon buns, and more traditional things like empire biscuits, a Scottish fave! The most delicious thing though had to be the mozzarella and tomato pizza slice. I can highly recommend it it's a very large size and it is absolutely lovely. They let my dog coming to the shop to order because all of the food is behind the counter, so that's great too.
One of the best bakeries in Glasgow. Everything is fresh and extremely tasty.
I had my first ever empire biscuit (which was amazing) abd i tried the brookie, stuffed brownie cookie (take more than one and thank me later).
There is usually a long queue so be patient waiting at the queue, its really worth it.
Prices are normal and stuff is very friendly. Highly recommended!
I highly recommend you try the Big Bear Bakery. The cakes and pastries are always amazing. I love the almond croissants, brownies, cookies and cake - everything really! I ordered my son's birthday cake (a Cranachan cake) from here a couple of weeks ago and I put a personalised cake topper on it, and everyone loved it. It was delicious!

Went here three days in a row while on a four day trip to Glasgow. Would have gone four but it was closed Mondays. The English guy who works there is funny.
Had a chance to pop in before the queue and loves the overall atmosphere of this tiny place. Filled with pastries (with options for allergens!!) and a warm welcoming team. Truly a true gem! Oh, and did I say the pastries were amazing?
Had our wedding cake ordered and delivered from Big Bear and it was super lovely, lemon and blueberry with ribbon effect. Great service and prices compared to other bakeries. Tiny cafe but obviously everyone loves it because it is super busy. Expect queues out the door!
Amazing wee bakery near queen's park. A bit of a queue but well worth it. They have some unique cakes!
My favourite is the cruffin.
Queue moved quite fast but when we were there 12 on a Saturday, it would have been a good half hour plus wait. Everything we bought we would happily recommend.
Nice coffee, coffee cake was lovely and brownie didn't last long would recommend
such an amazing place, with all pastries looking very fresh and staff very friendly. fair price for the quality you get in there. lovely blue cheese and fig foccavio
I pick stuff up here every other week. The cakes, pastries, brownies and bread are fantastic, albeit pricey. The savoury foods like pies, rolls and sandwhiches aren't worth it, the veggie options are particularly underwhelming.
Thrilled to have picked up a vegetarian haggis pastry as a traveling non-meat-eater—absolutely delicious! And a gorgeous bramble bostock. I just wish my stomach were larger. Amazing assortment, everything appears to have been executed to perfection. Great coffee too!
