They say: We are obsessed, in a good way, with bread and baking. Try our signature cream-cheese topped cinnamon squares, which are hand-made daily in store, warm and gooey, straight from the hot plate.

We say:  Good for cooks with a basic knowledge of making traditional bread doughs keen to learn new techniques at a bakery school with a reputation for passion and detail. And don’t miss the chance to try their Ricky Sticky bun, which scooped the Speciality category gong at the World Bread Awards 2013.

    We have just had our daughter’s 9th birthday party at Cinnamon Square and it was full of fun and excitement as well as being a great learning experience. Seeing them go home eating the freshly baked loaves that they had cooked was lovely and all the girls were so proud of what they had achieved. Everything is taken care of, all we had to do was to light the candles, sing happy birthday and wave off some very happy children. Thank you for such a great day.

    My six year old had her birthday party at Cinnamon Square its was brillant!!! The kids had a great time enjoying cooking a range of items and tasting them after. Paul has a great way with children and we could hear non stop laughter coming from the makery. While us mums relaxed with coffee and yummy food! Will be returning again for something to eat and would not hesistate to return for another birthday party.
