Monarch Bakery

Very affordable prices, wide variety of cookies and pies. The texture of their baked goods is generally good - light and airy with no soggy bottom for pastries, and light and crisp for the cookies. However, do not expect buttery flavour from their baked goods...pretty sure they use other fats for their baking.

Very affordable. Super fluffy glazed donuts and delicious sausage rolls! Loaves, dinner rolls and sweet breads are really good too. Looking forward to trying everything here!

Best custard and jelly filled donuts. Did a detour for those and they vastly exceed my already high expectations.

I bought 4 "eccles cakes" November 17th, 2020. They were flat square pieces of puff pastry with a smear of raspberry jelly in the middle. They tasted flavorless, dry, and old. No raspberry taste at all and a feeling of eating a mouth full of tissue paper instead of puff pastry.. We threw them out. The eccles cakes I know are filled with a sweet black current, candied fruit peel, and sometimes grated orange or lemon zest filling surrounded in a flaky, puff pastry, usually formed into a round shape with vents cut in the top and dusted with sugar. Really a marvelous creation when done properly. We were very disappointed with Monarch Bakery's idea of an eccles cake. You'd think with a name containing the word "monarch" they'd know how to make this pastry from Northern England and only serve it when fresh!

Not appreciating the empty jelly filled doughnuts. Where's the custard or jelly? If I wanted to be put on a diet I wouldn't be eating donuts Lol..
