Fantastic, two Afternoon Teas to go for a birthday lunch, absolutely stuffed with lots of leftovers! Cup cakes and brownies to die for, seriously tasty sandwiches, scones with huge dollops of cream and jam and fresh strawberries, cheese scones .... heavenly!

Lovely little local bakery with inside seating. So much choice for a great price. The service was impeccable, with friendly smiling faces! Loads of choices of hot and cold sandwiches and the halloumi fries were gorgeous. Great place for a catch up with friends. I will definitely return and tell others.

I recently hosted my sister's baby shower at Sunshine Bakery, and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. The food was delicious, with very generous portions leaving everyone well-fed and satisfied. The warm cheese scones were a particular hit! Becky was really helpful from initial contact, right through to the day itself, making the planning process smooth and stress-free. She had thought of all the little touches, like offering to play background music and letting us choose the type, and the secret garden setting was amazing. Everywhere you look there is something new and quirky to see! My sister loved her beautiful centerpiece cake. I gave Becky a rough idea of the theme and she certainly delivered, exceeding expectations! I highly recommend Becky and Sunshine Bakery for any special occasions

Had an amazing afternoon tea on Friday with some of my closest friends and family for my 60th. The food was amazing with a great selection of sandwiches, cakes, buns, hot cheese scones and delicious brownies tops with tea and coffee. Really worth a visit and the hosts were very kind and accommodating. Will be back soon xxx

Sunshine bakery was collaborative, creative and absolute perfection when designing and making my wedding cake. They even were kind enough to follow a specific recipe to create my husbands favourite childhood cake. Decoration was beautiful and the flavours were delicious. I often see lots of cake left over at weddings... not at mine! Everyone raved about it. The cafe is quaint and eclectic in decoration, and the selection of baked goods and treats has my mouth watering every time I go in! The people who run it are as sunny as the name implies. After just a quick chat with them I felt as if I had made new friends. A true local gem. I'm so grateful it is on my doorstep!

The cupcakes tasted absolutely delicious. I had the Lemon/ Blueberry and the Victoria Sponge. The atmosphere was fun and the woman working is super nice.
