Hart's Bakery laminates and bakes everything inside a Victorian railway arch under Bristol Temple Meads, the send-off pastry stop before any train.
Tip: It is under the station approach ramp, not on the concourse; allow ten minutes before your train for the queue.
Worth the queue: Morning sourdough and a custard tart under the arch
Pinkmans bakes Bristol's cult sourdough doughnuts and focaccia across five cafes; the Stokes Croft unit keeps the croft in brunch bakes and toasties.

Worth the queue: A sourdough doughnut with the seasonal filling
Mark's Bread bakes slow-fermented loaves at the Tobacco Factory on Raleigh Road, the real-bread anchor of Bristol's North Street food strip.

Worth the queue: A South Bristol sourdough loaf, still warm mid-morning
The Bristol Loaf rises organic sourdough at Church Road in Redfield, the certified-organic bread bakery whose loaves stock cafes across Bristol.

Joe's Bakery has baked on Gloucester Road for generations, a Bristol shop tracing its site's history over 150 years from tin loaves to sourdough.

Bakesmiths fills a double-height Whiteladies Road room with cakes, breakfast rolls and coffee, the bakery-cafe flagship of Bristol's Bakehouse team.
