Filbert's Bakery

Excellent place love all the different breads.Wonderful.

Filbert’s bakery was recommended by our friends, a French-Norwegian couple who would cycle 20miles (35kilometres) for its bread. Open from Wednesday to Saturday (check Google for store timings) we were told that they sell out most days by afternoon. Intrigued by the quest for good bread, we added this to our Lancaster trip checklist and crossed it off the moment we reached the town and immediately realised why they sell out so quickly.The spiced Fruit bread and the Fig & fennel are among the finest breads we have had. The Cinnamon bun & Morecambe bun were flavourful as well. The overnight white is a normal bread but the croissant is flaky and just how its supposed to be. The quiche at the counter is worth a try as well.As obvious, we ransacked the bakery and bought a lot of bread, till our hands were full. The breads can be frozen and they stay long. It can be a challenge & a workout in a way slicing the sourdough bread and fig & fennel bread once they are hard, but they do make excellent eggy bread/French toast/pain perdu.Filbert’s is worth the miles and a good enough reason to change one’s itinerary and plan a trip to Lancaster on a Friday-Saturday rather than Sunday-Tuesday.

smells great, a working bakery, entering the store immediately relieved stress. ordered a chickpea pastie, a mushroom pastie and peanut butter blondie. Oh my, as a confused and lost West Country lad I'm glad i found this place. The pasties were confused, lost (in a good way) and absolutely gorgeous.

The family absolutely loved this gluten free bread, it went down a treat. We'll definitely back for more. Thank you.

Excellent fresh bread. Often still warm when served. Recommend the fruit loaf.

My favourite shop. And the best bakery. Bread is very tasty!

Lovely people, so friendly. Make delicious bread and pastries. I absolutely love their olive bread. I could nom the whole loaf in a few minutes...Just got some delicious olive bread, warm from the oven. Got there just after 11. So tasty. Tempted to eat it all on the walk back. (14/04/21)Got some different breads as well yesterday. Olive twist with goat's cheese and a flatbread with sundried tomatoes and goat's cheese. Very scrumptious (21/04/21)Got two slices of delicious, moist Lemon and Coconut cake. Lovely with a nice cup of tea (16/10/21)

This is hands down my favourite bakery. I live about 20 minutes north of Lancaster and I will gladly make a trip to Lancaster just to but some bread there. Their overnight white is just amazing!

1 STAR FOR GLUTEN FREE5 STARS FOR EVERYTHING ELSEI’ve recently had to go gluten free, but couldn’t imagine life without Filberts. Unfortunately their gf loaf is pretty awful:- Impossible to cut without it crumbling to pieces- Bits of grease proof paper cooked into the side- Horrible floury flavourI don’t think the bread should be sold until the recipe is amended. If that’s not possible, don’t charge a stonking £4.95 for a small !I would ask for a refund if it wasn’t an independent business.

Fantastic range of freshly baked breads. Very knowledgeable and friendly service. Their house sourdough is delicious and lots more to try, including daily specials.
