Definitely the best place to go to for breakfast and cakes, the staff are lovely and very friendly, the food looks as good as it tastes and the shop itself is a lovely vibe and atmosphere. For a small business this place has made its mark already and I cannot wait to see what the future holds for them. Will definitely be visiting again and taking extra because I just can’t get enough of it.

Lovely local cafe. The pork and stuffing baguettes/batches are so tasty as are the jacket potatoes. My daughter loves the blended milkshakes. We attended a Halloween event today for kids where we decorated two brownies and made some cookies and decorated them. This cost £10 and included a sandwich/crisps for the kids and tea/coffee/squash for all. This was a lovely, fun event for the holidays. The children thoroughly enjoyed it and it was excellent value for money. I will definitely be looking out for future events like this.

I have visited Mad about the Buns several times, and I can honestly say, the service has always been friendly, professional, in fact nothing but, exceptional. I am a strict vegetarian, and the staff have always ensured that there has been no cross contamination, and always made sure, that I am satisfied, as I am unfortunately a bit of a pain, due to how strict a vegetarian I am. I would always highly recommend Mad about the Buns, for all food, especially the cakes. They are delicious and the portions are very generous. You would be mad to not visit. Pardon the pun!

I’ve actually never eaten at Mad About the Buns in person, but I always make sure to get their bakes and seasonal goodies and they never disappoint! Madison puts so much care and creativity into everything, and you can really taste the love in her baking. Whether it’s a festive treat or a classic bake, it’s always delicious and beautifully done. Highly recommend supporting this gem of a business
