From 10th to 16th August we’re celebrating Afternoon Tea Week.

Whether you’re partial to scones with cream and jam, or you prefer gluten free or vegan, this is a fun way to enjoy a cup of your favourite brew with family or friends, and an indulgent bite or two!

If you’re putting together your own tea for a picnic or to have at home we have scones and the wonderful Bishopston Preserves to top them – either before or after the cream!

You can order plain scones (fruit free) from the shop.

A delicious moist sponge cake with lemon syrup and lemon flavoured water-icing, and it’s vegan!

A typical Bavarian ‘Maltzbrot’ made with spelt and rye flours for a dense, chewy texture with strong malt flavours.

Delicious on its own, with your choice of toppings, or with mature Cheddar and caramelised onion chutney, as shown below.

Popular with UK chef Rick Stein, and as far afield as the West Coast of the USA and Australia, this fantastic dish calls for sourdough and our small loaf would be perfect for this combination.

Follow these links for some recipe ideas – Rick Stein’s Clam Chowder or this vegan Sweetcorn Chowder – although there are many others to choose from.

This is a delicious traditional pasty filled with soya ‘meat’, potato, swede, and onion.

We have a variety of buns in abundance for your BBQ needs over the coming weeks.

There are Brioche Buns, Crusty or Soft Cobs, and others to choose from (both Cobs are suitable for vegans).

These and other products are available for purchase in the shop or to order for delivery through Good Sixty – https://www.goodsixty.co.uk/retailers/bristol/96-joe-s-bakery

These new screens are up in the main shop now and enable us to open the third till which will help speed our serving times and your time spent in the shop.

We’re pleased to see many of our customers returning to our shops and trust you will all continue to take care and stay well.

Hot griddle and savoury products, freshly made sandwiches and filled rolls, and tea and coffee are all available from Joe’s Express.

From Tuesday 27th the main Joe’s Bakery will revert to 7pm closing.

Both shops will be closed this Bank Holiday Monday 25th May.

A big thank you to all our customers for helping to maintain the recommended social distance – both in our shops and whilst queueing outside.

Thank you also for your continued patience with our staff and for continuing to support us through this time.

Lastly, a reminder that both our shops are open Mondays to Saturdays from 7am to 5pm.

Both shops will be open as follows over the Easter weekend –
