Wildcraft Bakery Cafe

Shocked to see reviews saying baked goods not as good as non-vegan. I popped in today by chance (for context, I’m not a vegan), and had a lovely espresso and absolutely delicious slice of coffee and walnut cake. Service with a smile too 👍🏻 The only thing that stopped me buying more baked goods was my sensible head telling me to exercise some restraint 😂 (I had my eye on the Biscraft brownie and the sticky toffee doughnut!). I’d have stayed longer but had claimed a table with a plug and felt it was unfair to hog it as the place started to fill up ☺️

I couldn’t resist travelling out of my way a little when I heard about this place and I certainly wasn’t disappointed! It’s hard to believe everything is Gluten Free here when it looks and tastes so good! Took some cake away but statues to enjoy a toastie, quiche and a cup of coffee 🥰 Whether you are Gluten Free or not you will certainly enjoy the food :)

As a Celiac diagnosed in adulthood, I'm fairly discerning about GF alternatives/ goods. Wildcraft does not disappoint. The bakery is a safe space for Celiacs and they have a clear sign asking customers not to bring allergens in, to keep the whole cafe/ bakery free from cross contamination. The selection of pastries, choux buns, cake, donuts, tiramisu etc etc in the chilled cabinet is impressive and delicious. I come here whenever I can ( I don't live very close). I've eaten in a few times, they do a great cheese toastie, and recently stockpiled a load of goods for a Scottish road trip. The scones were still fresh and moist 5 days later!

If I knew anyone with any sort of gluten intolerance then I'd take them here as it would likely blow their mind. It is a bit odd being totally gluten free and if you can eat gluten you have to get over some of the texture not being what you are used to. But the flavours are spot on and you can easily get used to it. Service and be slow and some of the serving choices are not what you would expect. For example they gave us the biggest cardboard shoe box for a single pastry. But all in all a good place. Small improvements to the service and decor would give it a 5 star rating. It seems an important place in the community and I would recommend a visit just for that the rest of the great things on offer here are a bonus!

It's a wonderful place! They are mainly a gluten-free and vegan cafe/bakery, but they do provide allergy conscious desserts, which is amazing because I have a dairy and soya intolerance. The service was great, and they double-checked the ingredients in the desserts to make sure they didn't have any dairy or soya. Although it would be nice to see more desserts that don't have soya, I think the options are great overall. The spiced chai with aot milk is delicious! I will definitely come back for more. I also bought the below deserts for myself and other family members: 1) Spinach and raspberry (originally thought it was pistachio, but it still was delicious regardless) 2) Chocolate cake 3) Millionaire cake 4) Nutella slice cake (very rich🥰) 5)Honey comb and chocolate doughnut They also had a great vibe, and they showcase/sell local artwork, which was lovely to see. Be sure to get there earlier or at least a few hours before closing so that you can see the full variety of desserts. Don't come 30 minutes before closing like I did, but the options they had were still great. I will definitely be going back!
