Such a welcome addition to Leeds and I'm now a regular. My favourite is the wholemeal sourdough such a great flavour, followed by the seven-seed sourdough. The focaccia & ciabatta rolls are awesome too. I have a slight addiction to the chickpea & spinach rolls & recommend them to everyone. My husband suffers from ulcerative colitis so bread has been off the menu for him but the sourdough causes him no problems whatsoever, it must be the fermentation process! I hadn't eaten bread for sometime just because I couldn't find a decent tasting loaf but this is real bread, as it should taste.
I shop at the little Bluebird Bakery in Malton, Talbot Yard. I can truly say since discovering this amazing bakery I cannot buy supermarket bread anymore! My fave is the wholemeal sourdough. Absolutely incredible. Always look forward to going in on my weekly shop! Thanks for being amazing!
The cinnamon bun was utterly unctuous. The balanced cinnamon sugar felt like a warm hug on a rainy day in York.
I took a bite, brought it up Cliffords Tower, onto a train, into the fridge overnight, then into the oven the next day, and it was still fabulous!
If you do heat it up, I recommend covering it so the cinnamon doesnt burn, else it develops a fennel like flavor.
If I could give 5 more stars to this bakery, I would. This is a small, takeaway only shop in one of the Shambles lanes. We got their five spice roll and the spinach chickpea roll — and both were absolutely outstanding even cold! The flavors are so absolutely on point and so delicious that we will be going back tomorrow before our train back to London to pick some more up to take home!
The sourdough bread at this bakery is simply outstanding. Its crust is wonderfully crispy, and the interior has that perfect balance of tanginess and chewiness. As for the savory Danish, it's a delightful treat with a flaky pastry and a savory filling that bursts with pesto flavor. A must-try for bread and pastry lovers!
Loved the city, York 🇬🇧, loved the market place, loved the street location, loved the shop… and really loved 🥰 the food! Freshly made daily. Quaint decor to match the entire setting. A quite varied delicious selections. We enjoyed a tasty unique creation, a tomato 🍅 and olives 🫒 rolled in a seasoned baked pasty. Delish! We engaged in a conversation w the lovely lady running the shop, perhaps the owner. Describing their bake process made this taste even better! 😁
Have used this bakery since it opened, bread is superb and always something on the specials to temp you with!
Tried a new Italian style sourdough today and it was fantastic, very light with a nice chewy crust😋
Focaccia with sea salt and rosemary is also one not to miss!

omg we found your bakery in York two weeks ago and we haven't stopped talking about it since! the savouries and cakes were hands down the best we have tried and our vegan teen approved too! We bought 5 savouries and 5 desserts and the hungry teens appetites were satisfied. everyone needs to try bluebird bakery ❤️ the mckinneys, Warrington.
Savoury Danish deserves all 5 stars. Weighty, delicious had to grab one early as I watched the pile shrink! Would post a pic but I ate it before I thought about it.
Cute artisan bakery in a cute part of York that's worth visiting. On the pricey side (it's artisan) but worth it if you want nice bread.
Receives 5* for bread. But for pastries etc try Flori bakery (if it's open) or the almond croissant from The Cornish Bakery (both are cheaper options and taste great)
What a lovely little bakery! I was dashing by when I saw one of my most-sought UK baked goods on days display in the window. It turned out to be their last lemon Eccles cake. I found it quite delicious: the outside crunchy with pastry and sugar, the inside packed with sultanas and fresh lemony flavor. If all their goodies are this delicious, wow.
I visited York today for the first time in ages, and I must return soon if only to revisit Bluebird Bakery. I popped in this afternoon for something sweet, and came away with a Honey & Spelt Cake. Sadly I can share no evidence of this with you as it disappeared rather quickly! I cannot recommend them enough - delicious!
