There is nothing like that wholesome smell of freshly baked bread, or the sight of soft, steaming croissants coming out of the oven. Glasgow is no stranger to decent bakeries, providing us with an abundance of choices throughout the city. As a result, the National Bakery Awards has shortlisted two Glasgow bakeries, alongside 224 other businesses, as the best in the UK, in for a chance to win the ‘Bakery Of The Year’ award for 2025.
Glasgow bakeries nominated for the National Bakery Awards
Cottonrake Bakery
Cottonrake Bakery has been around for 12 years, delivering exceptional baked goods to the city’s West End. They pride themselves in “constantly delivering the highest standard pastries and bakes”, always improving and innovating. Plus, Cottonrake Bakery supports the local community as much as they can, providing talented individuals with a space to express their creativity.
Outlier
Outlier is the place to be when it comes to maritozzi, pastries and cakes, as well as dining out in the East End of Glasgow. Expect a modern, light and earthy decor with freshly-baked goods to try daily, as well as pasta Sundays!
We will now have to wait until November 25 for the winners to be announced at at Big Penny Social in Walthamstow, London. On top of the National Bakery of the Year award, other accolades include Regional and County winners, Social Enterprise Bakery of the Year, Young Baker of the Year, and Outstanding Contribution to Bakery.
