The 12 best cake shops and cake bakeries in Newport

A gorgeous family ran bakery, amazing food and a very warm family welcome. We had lunch sat outside on their picnic bench. We had steak bakes, shortbread and meringue. Steak bakes were the best I've ever had. Wish we lived closer so we could try more of their delicious foods. We bought fresh bread to take home..... it did not disappoint. Would definitely recommend a visit.

We always enjoy going into the Village bakery for lunch, a treat or a loaf of bread but this time I ordered a birthday cake and I was incredibly pleased with the result! I just asked for the flavours I wanted and the number of people and they ran with it and created this beautiful and delicious cake! I am definitely going to order from them again in the future.

Can't believe we've never done a review! First came here a couple of years ago for a pasty, also left with a vanilla slice. Best vanilla slice anywhere, even the French patisseries can't compete. We'll happily take an hour's diversion to come here specifically. It's awesome to see that they're getting the recognition they richly deserve. They also have a really strong range of vegetarian offerings, including really good pasties. Honestly, you can't go wrong with anything from here.

Stumbled across this fabulous bakery/cafe this morning. Lovely & friendly customer service, lots of variety to choose from. Ordered a cappuccino & carrot cake, one of the best coffees I've had & the carrot cake was delicious. Sat outside on the picnic benches where cushions are provided if you wanted a softer seat. Would really recommend a visit if your in the area visiting.

Tucked into the centre of Caerleon Village is this lovely Café and Bakery. I popped in initially due to it being a little later in the afternoon and everywhere else being close to closing, but to my surprise it was open! Taking a look at its opening hours shows its excellent operational hours, a cut above the competition in Caerleon. But the standout was definitely the food! I had the Bratwurst in a Brioche Bun and I was truly blown away by the taste, presentation, all of it. Not many places would give you the whole tray of condiments for you to use at your discretion, and I commend them for it. And both the Bratwurst itself and the Bun were excellent, as you'd expect from a Bakery. Lovely and fluffy brioche. I also had a Welsh Cake and a Mocha. Can't go wrong with that combo! Welsh cake was lovely and light, and the coffee was good. I also really appreciate that every part of the Coffee takeaway cup is compostable, including the lid. Little things like that really make a difference. The atmosphere is lovely and cozy, and I imagine the outdoor seating will be great in the warmer months. To top it all off, great service from warm and friendly staff! I'll definitely be back to try the pastries! 🥐

Lovely little cafe and bakery with nice indoor and outdoor seating areas. Recommended by a number of locals which is always a good sign. Fab selection of cakes, pastries, artisan breads and a big range of pasties - meat , veggie and vegan. Great coffee and welcoming staff. We had a nice lunch then came back for coffee and cake later on! Situated on a quiet side road between the Roman museum and church. It was nice to get away from the busy main street. Will definitely return. Couldn’t fault it. Would be a good place to stop for walkers or cyclists and is only a 15 minute detour from the M4 if you need a rest stop.

Amazing coffee from Harris, he is the true king of flat whites! Quick service, lovely atmosphere and great outdoor sitting area in the sun (when we have it!) You know it’s a good coffee when you end up getting two! Will be back very soon.

The food was lovely. Great selection of salad choices and lots of filling options for rolls/baguettes. The chocolate crunch with pink custard is really good and super affordable price. Its good value for money. They also give you a lot of filling and the food tastes great!

I always order from here. Amazing cream donuts. But one thing did trouble me. One of the staff handled bacon n sausages with a gloves on. But then sje came over to me..took my order n picked up my cheese and onion pasty with the same gloved hand after touching bacon n sausages with it. I did want to speak up but didnt want to cause an issue. For vegetarians, Jews and Muslims this is an issue.

This is the best bakery around always freshly baked goods every day and the staff are awesome well worth a visit you won't be disappointed

Fabulous, fresh food. Plenty to choose from and so tasty! Perfect location! Opposite Beechwood Park - we regularly get lunch and take it over there. Prices are so reasonable, compared to other local bakeries. I would definitely recommend to others👌🏼

The best bakery in Newport, filled sandwiches, egg custards to die for, and the choc crunch and pink custard is out of this world

A big Thank you to The Hot Bread Shop for coming to our rescue and producing over 80 breakfast rolls for our 10th Anniversary celebrations. The rolls were absolutely fantastic and the staff were so helpful and accommodating. Highly recommended.

Good food for breakfast, lunch and great bakery products at very reasonable prices

the best ever food, the best ever ladies

It's the only place in Newport I have found Beef pasties that are the right shape and size.

just woke up from the fattest hangover and the lady serving me let me get breakfast 10 minutes before it stopped. she must have known I was hanging on for dear life. my friends and I scranned a breakfast roll, a cheese roll and a chocolate fudge cake. DELICIOUS. 10/10. hangover is cured, life is good. love this shop

This bakery sells mediocre cakes some look decidedly unappealing. I bought a crusty roll and éclair. The roll was stale. The cream in the éclair was off. Rang to complain. Was told nothing wrong with them both fresh today. I'm not in habit of complaining about nothing. I thought a good business would be apologetic instead of adversarial Sorry won't shop here again. Very disappointed

Absolutely love this bakery, everything is so fresh from there & the ice slices are the best I've ever had. 😋

Home baked products to die for

Very nice bakery with friendly and helpful staff. I can't fault the quality of the products on offer. This is the kind of bakery where you pay for what you get. I would recommend this place to anyone.

I've been coming to this bakery since I was a child. I am no in my early 30s. Absolutely amazing cakes and also enjoy their bread from time to time. I find it hard to only but one thing when I visit. Best bakery in Newport by far.

Found this place today and the Ham salad baguette is amazing and the rolls, lovely place will be my new place for bread as I'm sick of supermarket bread with a 3 day expiry date

Excellent products baked on the premises. The pastry on pies, pasties and sausage rolls are delicious. Friendly staff who make you feel welcome and know how to treat customers.

Amazing food very polite staff

This bakery is truly outstanding their bread rolls and bread is so light I even freeze some if there's any left and they come out of the freezer really well. Then of course their ice slices are the best and biggest about friendly staff make it a truly memorable experience. We'll done everyone

This little shop sells fresh made rolls, cakes ect Had some home made sausage rolls there today much better than other well known shops not greasy and very tasty. See you on Saturday.

Travel over from Cardiff for the best and biggest custard slices in Wales!! Corned beef pasties are proper homemade ones, just like my Nan used to make! Highly recommended 😊

My 80th birthday cake was beautifully made by wrens. Sponge moist, with tasty jam and cream in. The cake wad exquisitely decorated with icing and flowers. Thank you so much Made my birthday very special Customer from Newport, Gwent

Just had a fresh cake from Wren’s Bakery — absolutely delicious! Moist, flavorful, and beautifully made. Highly recommend!

I have just eaten on of Wren's vegan 'sausage' rolls. They are amazing ! Thin turmeric pastry, a huge tasty filling with various beans, onions and, well I would love to have the full recipe so I can replicate it. But, on the other hand, why bother when I can just pop in to the bakery and buy the real deal !!

Good range as long as you're not veggie or vegan. But all their food is very fresh and tasty, although be careful at Christmas as me and an elderly couple I got some cakes for found during chewing that the small holly decorations on top are plastic not icing. However, it's rightly a popular place with queues out the door some times of day.

Seriously, the best bacon rolls in Wales! Also their sausage rolls are proper nice too! Highly recommend this bakery.

Stunning bakery with lots of tasty treats on offer every day. A delight to visit and enjoy a delicious treat.

Very friendly and patient staff! Pastries were delicious and fresh, but my sandwich was as dry as an used sandal 😂

Last week I turned 43 years old. - On Saturday, I received a box of brownies, as a gift, from ‘Beth’s Bakes’ from a girl at work who knows I love Brownies. ….and I am NOT ok! 43 flipping years old!!!! - that’s 15,700 days! Why has it taken me, my whole existence, of almost 16,000 days to discover the wonder that is “Beth’s Bakes”???? …..I am superbly disturbed that it has taken so so long to find the perfect brownie!!! …..like, Absolutely incredible!! ……and I’m not even joking!! I have purchased Brownies from all over the place in that 15,700 days, and for the most part, they have all been ‘ok’ or ‘so-so’!!….. …UNTIL NOW!!!!!! I’m fuming!!!! ….absolutely livid it has taken 43 years!!! FUMING!!!!

Super friendly staff and THE most delicious brownies and blondies! Can't pick a favourite flavour as the ones we've tried have all been so good. Beautifully packaged too and ideal for gifts. The cheesecakes are also really good 👏

I ordered a Mother’s Day box for my mum and it looked soo good I was actually jealous when handing it over to her!! Came back for the Easter brownie and blondie box and 2 Dubai chocolate brownies!! Always exceptional service and the girls are always lovely in the shop when I collect but the Bakes are out of this world I don’t think I’d go anywhere else now. Thanks Beth’s bakes 💗

Stunning cakes - they look and taste incredible!! The service was amazing from Beth and the team - I selected the time I wanted to collect online and they were ready for collecting as agreed! Faultless service! Will definitely order again for our next events !

Ordered some brownies for delivery, they were delivered on time and tasted absolutely amazing, I have ordered some more for Christmas 🥰❤️❤️xx

Never picks up their phone, how am I supposed to order anything? I've called several times a day, emailed and messaged on instagram just to not get a response. Extremely bad customer service. I have contacted over several months and no response but the owner has time to reply to this review rather than take on customer calls!

Had the best service and to top it off the best cupcakes we've ever had. We buy again and again. Thank you for making my little girl happy.

I go to this bakery every week, custard slices are amazing and have a big selection of cakes which are also lovely. Best cake shop anywhere.

Fabulous pasties, fabulous cakes, fabulous prices, and above all fabulous old-school hard and crusty jam doughnuts.

Friendly staff . Fresh food. Prices are more than fair . Would defoo use again

Bloody hair inside my cream cake disgusting

A lovely bakery with such a great selection. Lovely staff. Their bread is particularly special. An all round lovely experience.

Ordered a cake (Lemon Rose & Pistachio) for a birthday party and it was amazing. Highly recommended bakery.

Love this place very friendly staff service excellent. Homemade sandwiches and breads made on site. I must visit.

Lovely cafe just north of Newport and in easy access to the M4, serving exceptional coffee and great food from a varied, but focused menu. Our group mostly went for breakfast and I had the full pantry, which was delicious and everything you would expect from a full English breakfast. To compliment this, I went for a flat white which was amazing and a definite highlight. I have to commend the staff for being accommodating for our large group, but it does get busy and it isn't a huge space so it's worth reserving a table if you have groups of 4 or more. Definitely check this place out.

First time coming to this cafe. really good experience. freya and nell greeted us as we walked in and was really friendly when we ordered our coffees. the cake selection is really good. i recommend the biscoff+white chocolate blondie.

I was passing - didn't know this cafe was there. A nice place, clean as a whistle, very friendly people, good coffee. The atmosphere is pleasant. I'll go there whenever I'm in the Newport area.

We've come here a few times and it's always quality food and the staff is really friendly, definitely recommend stopping by for a coffee or brunch

I went with my friend for a treat and our breakfast was awful. I’ve been here previously (a few years ago) and it’s always been high quality and really good. But it appears to have gone downhill. The eggs were very burnt and my friend had shell in hers. My bacon was pretty much raw on one side and burnt as hard as wood on the other and my eggs were also burnt. My friend had eaten about 2/3 of hers before finding egg shell so she was told she can’t have a refund because she had eaten too much, she explained that she didn’t start eating the egg and find the egg shell and how burnt it was underneath until then. I had only eaten about 1/4 of my food before finding and being put off by the issues. But they wouldn’t give me a refund either and they couldn’t say I had eaten too much of it so they didn’t even give me a real reason why I couldn’t have a refund. Their attitude towards us wasn’t great. They were immediately defensive and I got the vibe that they were told to refuse refunds no matter what. We were very polite about it and they acted like we were chancers and our reasons weren’t valid. The eggs were absolutely cremated and inedible. The manager tried to say that we should have said straight away when they brought it out… so my friend was supposed to find shell in her egg without touching the food? A lot of the issues were hidden until we started getting through it. We never complain when going out for food but it really was awful. It would have been nice if it was cooked properly and more care taken but it was cooked appallingly. Not what you expect when paying £10 for a breakfast that I couldn’t even eat. Will never visit again.

First time here for breakfast. Fast service. Very good portions. Very well presented. Hot. However disappointed with food quality not brilliant. All 3 of us had absolutely blackened crispy bacon strips, pale just cooked sausages and uncooked cherry tomatoes. Egg was slightly overcooked. The beans and tattertots were plentiful. 3 non alcoholic breakfast drinks 3 breakfasts and 1 piece of cake over £60.00. Think will stick to their baguettes.

Really cute cafe , with a different variety of food & drink selection! They have a lovely station of retail bits as you walk in too! Really friendly & helpful staff, Freya & Nell were lovely and served me & my friend with a smile :) The biscoff and white chocolate blondie was absolutely amazing, will definitely be having one of them again! X

Absolutely amazing food and drinks everything tested delicious and came super fast , staff are so kind and respectful, the place itself is very clean and quite cozy music is cool too)

The prices of the food were okay. Other than that, the waitress was fine. But the food was dry. The rice was very dry which is not the typical classic Turkish style. The salads were unseasoned, dry and very bland. The salad we asked for which is the ‘çoban salatası’ was not what it was supposed to be, it was more like a salad they just throw whatever they wanted in it and called it a day. We ordered an order of one lamb pide with vegetables and once it arrived it was chicken. We simply couldn’t be bothered to change it anymore and decided to finish what we had. The ‘half pounder’ was also more like a quarter pounder and was quite tiring to consume. Never again.

Absolutely amazing food and the best service,, if you haven’t tried this amazing restaurant your missing out.

We had a lovely bunch, with our two boys demolishing a full English and a stack of.pancakes. The poached eggs and homemade soup were excellent and the portion size generous. Well worth a visit

Went up to Valentines last week with my parents as we travelled from Bristol to come and try their amazing platter. Food was absolutely quality some of the best naan bread I have ever tasted and the service from Omar was fantastic as he took care of us and made sure we were fully satisfied and happy with our evening.

Highly recommend. Food was beautiful and customer service was amazing! Lovely vibes too 🥰 x

I've been to this restaurant twice since moving to the area, and I’m really impressed. The quality of the food is consistently excellent, and the flavours are top-notch. The owner is a true gentleman—friendly, welcoming, and clearly passionate about what he does. Highly recommend this place!

Stopped by Muffin Break for a quick dessert and a cold drink. It’s a comfy spot with plenty of options to choose from. I went for the Dubai chocolate cookie and the Pash ‘n’ Shoot drink. The cookie wasn’t exactly what I expected, but it was still chewy and chocolatey enough to satisfy the sweet tooth. The drink, on the other hand, was refreshing and absolutely delicious. Service was great…friendly, fast, and efficient. Prices were reasonable too. Overall, a nice place for a quick bite or treat. Worth trying if you're in the area and need a break.

Plenty of seating and so much choice available in both sweets and savouries. Has all kinds of hot and cold drinks too. The staff is nice, polite and helpful. We had the vegan sausage, the croissant with cheese and tomato( which was really good), cafe mochas, cappuccinos and milk shakes. All really good. Would recommend.

I usually go for the biscoff cheesecake or the carrot cake with my matcha latte, but today I went for the mudcake. You can't go wrong with a cake from this place. It's my favourite. I never go to st. David's without grabbing something to take home. Everyone here is always so friendly, too, I love it. I do swear that biscoff cheesecake is a slice of heaven though... Srsly most underrated place, 10/10 recommend. I normally avoid buying treats, but once I tasted these I was ruined! Haha Haven't been able to resist ever since. It's worth every penny.

Stopped in for a quick bite before we went to a show, the service was quick, plenty of places to sit down and eat too. Lots of choice and what I had was good. My dad had a cappuccino and said it was lovely! Pretty decently priced too considering it’s Cardiff!

Food was amazing and service was lovely, thanks! Ordered the 3 stack of pancakes with chocolate and strawberries.

Had a coffee and a chocolate chip muffin. It is a rare occurrence to get a coffee that is hot and not luke warm. I always receive an enjoyable hot coffee here. There were too many chocolate chips in the muffin spoiling the muffin for me. The staff are always lovely - friendly and great service.

Muffin Break always catches the eye, because it’s a corner shop in the St David’s Mall. The best thing about this place is their friendly and hospitable staff, and the quick service, especially Harish & Megha who’s always given me good suggestions! Have visited here often, mostly for their hot chocolates, coffee and muffins. I mostly go for Terry Orange Hot chocolate, and it tastes good. The last time I visited, I took suggestion from Harish and tried their Duck Wrap for the first time, which was surprisingly good. The place can get busy often due to its location, but the service has always been quick for me. There’s also enough seating, has a decent ambience and is kept neat and clean. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Service ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Food options ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ambience ⭐️⭐️⭐️ value for money ⭐️⭐️⭐️ food Verdict: Go for the items suggested by the staff, they wouldn’t disappoint you! P.S.: The biggest negative I’ve heard about this place is that their cakes and wraps which not always fresh and soft, and not always worth the money. However, I’ve never had a bad experience here thanks to the good suggestions by the staff, and therefore I’d give them a 5 star purely based on my experience there.

Stopped off here having needed to take a break from Driving,never been to Risca before,let alone this cafe.Was met with a smile and greeting,Lady took my order and I sat down,My breakfast and tea came shortly after,.very enjoyable and filling, 1st time here ,but def not my last, Dda Iawn i chi.Diolch

Excellent service, great atmosphere. Have had a bunch of breakfasts and afternoon teas here always amazing food and lovely staff. Best café in Risca.

A little gem of a find for me! Lovely friendly welcome. Coffee awesome and a brilliant cooked breakfast. Busy vibe too; you can tell the locals like this place. That tells you all you need to know! Fabulous and thank you!

We Popped in for breakfast ,, Cracking but of food fair play , And wasn’t made to pay first which is a pet hate , Service lady was good as gold cant fault it

The Coffee Mill held my friend's baby shower and it was amazing! The food was absolutely stunning and nothing was too much trouble. I would definitely recommend!

Gorgeous homemade cakes and amazing hot chocolates made the kids very happy! Friendly staff and very clean, would recommend

Visited today with my aunt for some breakfast. Instead of breakfast I had the turkey, sausage, stuffing and cranberry sauce yorkshire pudding wrap from the winter warmer menu. Honestly, the best thing I have ever eaten and freshly made. Yorkshire wrap was light, not at all greasy, and filled to the brim. Absolutely superb. Huge compliments to the chef and highly recommended. Thank you :-)

Visited for a quick lunch on my way through. What a lovely place! Good food (catered for my gluten intolerance), friendly staff and a great atmosphere, it was nice to see such a busy bustling cafe.

A lovely cafe everything you need from breakfast to lunch and desserts! Fast service excellent prices very friendly staff members! Very friendly, quiet and deliver smile all the time! Last but not least Dog friendly and the dog had water and sausage! I would recommend The Coffee Mill for anyone!

Quirky, charming and full of character. Visited on the bikes, plenty of seating outside. Such funny and quirky decor in the gardens! Delicious cakes, a nice cuppa and the lovely chap who runs the place kindly let me use his bathroom (in his own private property!) Comfortable, relaxed atmosphere and highly recommend! Will visit again thanks for a lovely pit stop!

The Seawall Tearooms GoldCliff . The wonderful welcome and homemade cakes a tea or coffee plenty of seating areas after a wonderful peaceful day just unwinding and enjoying a walk along the Seawall a Wonderful tearoom a place to meet and greet just a few steps from the Sea. The Natural Beauty of this area is truly worth fighting over and our Local Pirates know it’s real true worth as I do when the shifting sand allows me to create wonderful Sand Art on a very Sacred piece of Sand on the most Eastern stretch of True Welsh Coast on the Severn Tidal River. Go Create Your Dreams Wherever they maybe. Follow your hearty Dreams and get a tea or two followed with a cake 🍰 but most of all enjoy this View of a Balanced Tower or two . xxx SH. It’s our Secret xxx in the balance .

This is a great place to visit especially on a hot day for a nice walk so if you’re a couple & you fancy a romantic stroll then this is ideal for you or if you are a bunch of friends that fancies a walk together if you have older kids from 3 upwards it’s also good for them as well as they can run & burn off their energy (with supervision) there is some nice views here also.

Lovely place, now world famous, after being featured in Blue Blood by Damien Boyd.

It's been a long while since I was last here, so as I was working in the area I thought I'd relive happy times. The Seawall is out in the middle of nowhere, but is easy to find...satnav takes you straight to the door. Parking is on a narrow road, although it does open out just beyond the cafe. You are sure of a really warm welcome, even in these challenging times a big smile is to be found. There is a good choice of food and drink, with great prices, a cup of tea and small chocolate bar for £2...absolute bargain! A short walk to the actual seawall, with lovely views over the River Severn. Definitely worth a visit.

I've just visited the tea rooms again after new ownership by Steve and Phillipa. I was their first customer... They are open on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, 11am till 2 pm. So if you enjoyed going there before, try them again.

I was expecting more given the reviews. Asked for water for dogs and was given plastic container with thick film of algae in it. I tried to clean it as much as possible but maybe I didn't clean it enough. My dogs were sick afterwards. If pets drink algae affected water, it can poison them. Coffee could have been better, was charged £2 for instant black coffee.
