After visiting Ripon Cathedral, we stopped by Tomas the Baker—and we’re so glad we did! The pastries were fresh and delicious, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. It’s the perfect spot for a quick treat or a takeaway snack. Our child loved the sweet options too! A lovely little bakery with great quality and service.

Busy little bakers we visited in a weekday and joined a queue of lunch break workers many of which were choosing the deli sausage roll. I can see why now hands down the tastiest sausage roll I’ve eaten. Lovely.

Just another day of reviewing! I had a bacon wrap, small apple tart and a simple, orange caprison 😂 Anyway, it smelt lovely in the bakery, I was particularly drawn to it! My bacon wrap: It was messy but splendid! I loved when the crust melted on my tongue. The bacon was nice. My small apple tart: It was beautiful, absolutely perfect. It had a hint of sugar on top of it! Following along inside was the small chunks of apple, gosh I love apple! I had to go inside to get a bigger apple tart! 😂 Please do try it if you want a sweet treat for yourself!

Better grub than Greg's near by, brilliant like all their bakeries and it's a family run business from north Yorkshire so you couldn't ask for more really
