My partner and I often visit Ludlow and like to discover new coffee and lunch venues. We were a little hesitant when finding this lovely looking cafe/ bistro was empty, whilst elsewhere coffee shops seemed quite busy. The interior was inviting and the waitress friendly so we decided to try it out. As a first impression, I think the extractors in the kitchen could benefit from an overhaul , as the smell of stale fat was noticeably in the air. Also, as is a trend in coffee shops recently, the place was a little chilly. Hot chocolate and coffee was ordered to sort that! These came quickly and were ok. My partner ordered a bacon sandwich (crispy bacon please! and a tea cake for me. The latter wa...
We live locally and enjoy a weekend lunch out with our two young children. We hadn’t been to Baker’s for a while so thought we would give it a try… the staff were friendly and helpful in seating us and sorting a high chair for our youngest. We ordered drinks which were delivered promptly (disappointed that there were no child friendly drinks on offer … only fruit juice (Tesco basic) or milk. However the coffee was decent. We then ordered our meals about 5 minutes later. A child’s meal, sandwich and eggs royale. We waited 30 minutes and still no food. After 45 minutes I asked the waitress if it was nearly ready to be told that the table behind us were being served first (they actually arrived...
Attended with hubby for a coffee and cake. Lovely day just right to stop and have a coffee. Keeping local decided we would go to Bakers opposite Crumbs. Ordered two filtre coffees with pouring cream, two slices of coffee and walnut cake. £12.00 Sat ready to enjoy however had to move as door kept blowing open, we moved adjacent to door. First came coffee and cream. Pouring cream into coffee, oh gosh cream was sour. Lumpy stringy resulting in it being returned. Staff rushed out to buy elmlea from shop next door. Coffee sorted. Out came cake. Blimey, it was clearly not made freshly each day. We even used some pouring cream to help moisten the cake. Won't be returning.
Came here late last week and I wish I kept walking. The staff were stood around chatting instead of serving the very small amount of customers. Waited over 10 minutes to have our drink order taken because the conversation the front of house staff were having was apparently more important. Food ingredients were far from fresh and the staff informed me they were out of a lot of ingredients. I am not surprised this place is not busy. Speaking to a few locals in the town they informed me it has changed owners a while back it will undoubtly change again with these low standards.

Visited recently I will not be returning. Was very quiet but decided we would give it a go nevertheless, only for coffee and cake as we had some spare time before parking ran out. The selection of cake was poor and what we got was disgusting, they definitely don’t check anything before serving. Stale. The servers were young but didn’t act like they had any life left in them at all. I’m sure they would have wanted to be anywhere else other than work. The hot chocolate tasted like it was supermarket bought and both drinks were awful.
What a shame, the cafe is in a great location and that's the only positive, the food is overpriced, poor quality and the portion sizes are tiny. We had two breakfasts, most of the food was cold but the quality of the food was just awful, cheap supermarket food not something you expect when you're paying around £10 for breakfast. There's much better food available in Ludlow, I certainly won't be returning to Bakers ever.... I almost feel like asking for a refund as I feel completely ripped off
Come to Ludlow quite often, this weekend my friends and I thought we would give bakers a try as we stumbled across it. Very small little cafe. We wish we hadn’t wasted our time as we could have and should have spent it elsewhere. There was long waits for everything both food and drinks. Staff flustered, untrained and bordering on rude. Food was unappealing just slapped on the plate. Not worth a single penny spent.
Arrived mid week to a warm cafe with a friendly greeting. We sat down to a lovely clean table and were swiftly given the menu. We had two hot cappuccino’s and two breakfasts. Everything was spot on, although I would have preferred our plates to be warm. We had no room left for cake, so will return another day. The cafe soon filled up after our arrival, the people seemed to be regulars. That’s a good sign.

A bit overated and over priced to be fair for what we got. Average taste to food which needed a lot of seasoning. Place was inundated with wasps which is off putting to say the least.
